It *is* a Unix box, but it's a run-from-flash system, and compiling on the system (because the processors typically aren't very fast) is slow and tedious... plus all the writing of temp files is hard on the flash media. Short answer: much quicker to compile on the host system. So... there is no easy way to cross-compile then? The host platform is Linux Fedora Core 7... -Philip --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
