Wolfgang, Thanks for your response...
I confess I did not read the whole documentation from scratch, but I have browsed many sections especially related with my issue. I should say it is always said in documentation that setting $CROSS_COMPILE environment variable is necessary, but that did not work for me. Specifically, I am trying to cross compile osip library with EDLK (not an ELDK component). When I execute the configure script I want the config.h to be generated to reflect the target system. As from your last response I understand that I always need to make sure by checking config.h file myself. After I have posted this problem I found the below thread: http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-embedded/2003-July/011785.html Following the same, I have achieved generation of config.h by checking ELDK components and GNU cross tools to be prefixed with ppc_8xx. Although I was not able to build shared libraries with the generated makefile, building static libraries was OK. But it seems as if it is somehow difficult to cross build a SW component that is not a part of ELDK, and this is harder than "Rebuilding ELDK Components" which is specified to be so straightforward in the documentation. Thanks and regards...
