Hi there,
The Lesstif build process fails in a cross environment. Reason:
the scripts/man2html utility is built for the target platform while it
is only used during the build process...
I was building v.0.92.26 (obtained from a .src.rpm) on a sparc64(or
i386) box for the MIPS target platform.
It seems that the same problem appears with the current CVS version as
well...
-- what is the reason for using a domestic man2html instead of a
standalone one (if any, of course) installed on the development machine?
-- is it possible with the existing auto* stuff to tell the make scripts
that the utilities like man2html shall not be built using cross tools?
-- may be it is better to introduce an additional option to the
configure
script (like --with-standalone-man2html for instance) which will make
the build environment not to compile the lesstif-specific man2html
utility but use a standard one instead.
Regards,
Andrei
