Hi.
I'm trying to compile 3.0.20b on my i686 host to run on a
mipsel host. For this, I got a cross compile toolchain from
<http://linkstationwiki.org/Projects/CrossToolchains>. The
toolchain is installed at
/usr/local/linkstation/gcc-3.3.5-glibc-2.3.2/mipsel-hdhlan-linux
I ran configure with the help of a little wrapper script:
version=gcc-3.4.4-glibc-2.3.5
#version=gcc-3.3.5-glibc-2.3.2
[...]
./configure --host=$target --target=$target \
--disable-cups --without-ldap --without-ads \
&& make AR=mipsel-hdhlan-linux-ar CC=mipsel-hdhlan-linux-gcc \
LD=mipsel-hdhlan-linux-ld NM=mipsel-hdhlan-linux-nm \
OBJDUMP=mipsel-hdhlan-linux-objdump
configure failed with this error message:
checking for open64... yes
checking for _open64... no
checking for __open64... yes
checking for creat64... yes
checking for prctl... yes
configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling
See `config.log' for more details.

What do I do now?
Hello Alexander,
these are quite normal messages when trying to cross-compile bigger
projects.
Actually you'll find in the config.log, that the configure script tried
to execute a programm it has recently build.
Running a mips binary on a i686 fails of course.
To fix it, you have either to hack the configure script or - better -
pre-set the variables the configure script wants to figure out.
On my arm plattform it looks like this:
export samba_cv_HAVE_MEMORY_KEYTAB=yes
export samba_cv_USE_SETEUID=no
...
Sometimes it's a bit tricky to find the right variables but searching
the configure script for those "cannot run test program ..." is allways
a good start.
Bye,
Martin
