Our embedded system runs on a intel chip and runs Redhat 9.0 (I know it's old, but regulations prevent us from running anything newer). As cross-compiling is not my strong suit I thought I would install Redhat 9 in a virtualbox and then build swfdec there. However this is proving daunting as even just installing packages is a pain (no yum, apt-get is not finding packages, etc). Perhaps a bit of direction from you guys: 1. Should I continue trying to get a Redhat 9 installation going where I can build swfdec, 2. Should I go back to my Fedora 10 virtualbox and attempt to cross-compile? 2a. If I cross compile, I really will need to build swfdec and *all* it's dependant libararies to be static libs, so I can just copy the finished app / library over to my embedded system. Again, I'll state that I appreciate everyone's help and patience. I come from 24 years of C programming, most of that with Visual Studio, so some of this is very new to me.
