Re: error configuring libwww for strongarm

Mildred,

In the past when I've compiled libwww for ARM, I've had to resort to an ugly 
hack that, while it works, needs a real solution. I've run ./configure on my 
x86 box using the standard toolset. Then when I go to make it, I do the 
following:

bash$ CC=arm-linux-gcc CXX=arm-linux-g++ make -e

which overrides the makefile's idea of what the compiler should be and builds 
using the arm toolset.

Obviously, the correct fix would be to fix the configure script to allow 
cross-compilation, which to my knowledge, has not been done.

Hope this helps,
