Subject: error installing libwww




Hi!  I would like to ask help in building libwww for stroongarm.  My project
is to build the viewml binary for strongarm.  I've already built jpeglib,
microwindows and flnx.  I had problems cross compiling libwww but i think
they're solved now but I have errors with make install in order to install
them to the correct directories.  Here are the commands i used in compiling
libwww.  I created the directory /arm-linux-projects/w3c-libwww-5.2.8/arm,
and under this directory i cross-compiled libwww .....

[mildred@arwen arm]$ ../configure --prefix=.
[mildred@arwen arm]$ CC=arm-linux-gcc CXX=arm-linux-g++ NM='arm-linux-nm -B'
RANLIB=arm-linux-ranlib make CPPFLAGS+=/armdir/usr/local/arm/include
CFLAGS+=/armdir/usr/local/arm/include  -e
	(note: I also set CFLAGS and CPPFLAGS so the program will look to the
arm-linux directory for header files.  what other way can I do this ?)
[mildred@arwen arm]$ make install

If I have installed the library successfully, how do i set the configuration
 / make alterations in viewml to compile it and point the new location of
the
 libwww files ?

With regards to setting the header files directory, is there another way
than
including it in CFLAGS and CPPFLAGS ?  I was thinking of using
LD_LIBRARY_PATH but I've heard that it is not advisable to use.  Can you
tell
me more about this and how to use it ?

Thank you very much

Mildred
