["tina nambiar" <teena nambiar gmail com>]

Hi,

i am trying to cross compile glib-2.17.3 for arm from linux-2.6 . i have the arm tool chain but while ./configure --enable-static  --host=i686-linux  --target=arm-linux i get the following error

checking for preceeding underscore in symbols... configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling

below are the contents of my config.log file
configure:37988: arm-linux-gnu-gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall  -DG_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES  conftest.c -ldl    >&5
configure:37995: $? = 0
configure:38016: result: yes
configure:38106: checking for RTLD_GLOBAL brokenness
configure:38179: result: no
configure:38186: checking for preceeding underscore in symbols
configure:38194: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling
See `config.log' for more details.
