A error occured when I compiled libwww on MIPS !

[l***@i-net.com.cn]

hi, all

Yestoday I have compiled libwww on my X86 PC because of viewML's needs. Now I want to compiled it on MIPS by cross-compiler.

But when I configure it, a error occured comes. As bellow.

Can you help me ?

Hi,
The standard way of cross-compiling for packages with a 'configure' script is:

../configure --host=mipsel-linux
make

Or, if you want to install it:

../configure --host=mipsel-linux --prefix=/my/mips/target/directory
make
make install

For information about what the options mean, try ./configure --help

And _please_ don't cross-post to so many lists...

Kind regards,

Jon

hi, jonathan.foster

　　I have done it as you say. But when I run "make", I found it still use "gcc" not "mipsel-linux-gcc" to compile.

hi, Jonathan

　　My mean is that I use "CC=mipsel-linux-gcc ./configure --host=mipsel-linux". But the Makefile created does not have "CC=mipsel-linux-gcc" at all.
