Re: cross compile mips on x86_64: pcre?

Hi,

I didn't know you could do that, that is pretty neat. Perhaps I was
confused by the availability of

ii  zlib1g-dev-mips-cross              1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3
all          compression library - development (for cross-compiling)
ii  zlib1g-mips-cross                  1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3
all          compression library - runtime (for cross-compiling)

for zlib. However, even with your hint, I am not ending up with pcre.h in
/usr/mips-linux-gnu/include while zlib.h is present there. Is it
unreasonable for me to expect them there?

The packages installed fine btw:

ii  libpcre3:mips                      1:8.30-5
mips         Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expression Library - runtime files
ii  libpcre3-dev                       1:8.30-5
mips         Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expression Library - development
files
ii  libpcrecpp0:mips                   1:8.30-5
mips         Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expression Library - C++ runtime
files

Thanks,
Arjen
