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 2014-08-06 18:37 GMT+02:00 Wookey <woo...@wookware.org>: > +++ Arjen Verweij [2014-08-06 17:59 +0200]: > > Hi, > > > > I want to cross compile on AMD64 Debian Wheezy (7.6) to mips.
