Hi Arjen: Andrew Ross got cross-compilation to work (with some limitations) back in 2009. I suggest if you haven't done so already you review that mailing list thread (which you can find with a subject line search for "cross compilation" in the plplot_devel mailing list archive at SF). Andrew commented in that thread that he had documented some of his cross-compilation experiences in our old wiki. All the contents of that old wiki were transferred to our SF wiki back when I established that SF wiki so his (dated) documentation/comments about cross-compilation should be accessible at our SF wiki. Indeed, if you search there, there are 7 wiki pages that mention "cross" so if you follow up on those hits (which I did not) I assume you will find what Andrew (and others?) wrote about cross compilation back in 2009 or so. Of course, if you make some modern progress with cross-compilation, please update the SF wiki accordingly following the wiki update procedure in README.developers.
