nanogui: Thread: crosscompiling freetype-1.3.1 or t1lib-1.0 ?

Hi there,

has someone successfully cross compile freetype-1.3.1 or t1lib-1.0?

He's complaining about

	configure: error: can not run test program while cross compiling

which is obvious... :-(

Thanks for hints!

During compilation test program are trying to run, and since cross
compiling - they can't be run on host machine. I use scratchbox
development env to compile user land apps which can emulate and/or
run test programs during compilation. As I recall it currently supports
arm and ppc target platforms.

Emulator itself could maybe used without scratchbox env, but I haven't
tried that myself.

See http://www.scratchbox.org/, if you have one of those platform,
otherwise hack in the configure[.in] and disable tests :)

himba

You can find freetype RPM's (both 8xx binary and source RPMs) in  the
add-ons directory of the ELDK FTP servers
(i. e. in ftp://...<eldk>/3.0/ppc-linux-x86/add-ons/)

The RPM "spec" file shows what you can do.

For libfreetype, simply run configure with correct
prefix/exec-prefix/host/target/CC parameters.

For libt1, you have to modify the configure script.
at line #774, let CC="your_tool_chain-gcc"  (originally it's
CC="$ac_cv_prog_CC")
at line #3215, remove "exit 1;" after the echo command, or the script will
stops here since you are cross-compiling.

For your reference.
