You're the first person to ask about this, so you're sorta on uncharted territory. There are a number of tests which check your compiler/architecture (big vs. little endian and strict vs. non-strictly aligned architectures come to mind) which will cause problems for you. Then there's a bunch of tests which check what version of various libraries you have installed. This means if I skipped those tests you'd have to manually fix things so you'd get binaries which worked. Honestly, I have no cross-compiling experience and not 100% sure of how things work. What is your compile vs. target platform? How do you normally handle the situation when autotools skips these tests? -- Aaron Turner http://synfin.net/ http://tcpreplay.synfin.net/ - Pcap editing and replay tools for Unix & Windows Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. -- Benjamin Franklin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
