Re: error while cross-compiling ORBit2-2.14.1 for "ARM Cortex-A8"

["Amit Pundir" <pundiramit gmail com>]

Thanks for your help.
I cross-compiled it for my ARCH.

I got your point from one of your earlier mails and replace the call
of cross-compiled orbit-idl-2 with the native platforms
/usr/bin/orbit-idl-2 and it builds fine.

I just wish it wont break my next dependent builds :)

Thanks and Regards
Amit Pundir
