Hi Gary,
I tried to cross-compile, but facing some problems.
after running 'autoconf' it gives
configure.in:171: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross compiling.
I checked on web,
http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/support/docs/autobook/autobook_270.html#SEC270
It says, if one gets above mentioned warning, "This tells you that the resulting
`configure' script will not work when building with a cross compiler"
Line 171 of configure.in has `AC_CHECK_SIZEOF' macro. The document says "which is
generally not very useful when building with a cross compiler"
So, ./configure --target=arm-linux command does not seem to work.
How do I cross-compile freetype-1.3.1 for ARM processor ?
Thanks,
Girija
