From: Dan Hinz Date: 2005-09-29T03:19:01+09:00 Subject: cross-compiling ruby --=-90UWnLEkDTPdEhDU6X7J Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have an application on a stand-alone pwba. The platform has a linux kernel on it but no compiler. The way we build apps for it is to use a cross-compiler. I would like to install ruby there in order to create some scriptable testing facilities. When I tried to cross-compile ruby using the standard configure mechanism it fails saying that it can't check setpgrp when cross-compiling. I cheated and removed that check from configure but then had other problems with ext/extmk.rb. So, finally the question. Before I go off and spend a lot of time at it, has anyone explored what it will take to cross-compile ruby? For what it's worth the host is x86 and the target is ppc. -dwh- -- I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief. -- C.S. Lewis Daniel W.
