Re: SOS....I was frustrated by cross-compiling a TinyX server

Hi..

This problem is encountered when u use a script file or spec file to
cross compile X

Your  host is executing the ARM binary...and obviously fails..

To crosscompile - just do the following

unpack X4.4.0 sources
create host.def and copy to xc/config/cf/
modify cross.def in xc/config/cf to your toolchain path
remove xfontsel in xc/programs/Imakefile

and then go to xc directory
and run $make World CROSSCOMPILEDIR= toolchain bin directory path
XCURSORGEN=xcursorgen

and subsequently $make install DESTDIR=bla bla bla

IF and only if you intend to use spec or scripts.....PLEASE READ how
to set BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS....most of the stuff mentioned...dosent
work.....hope someone could tell me which BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS works for X
4.4.0 ARM Cross Compile.....

Vinod
