Repost: [PATCH] Enable cross-compiling
Marc Haisenko
a few weeks back I posted a patch that helps enabling cross-compiling by
adding the necessary stuff in configure.in to tell "configure" the necessary
values when cross-compiling. The patch also includes a README explaining
everything.
As people asked me about it I'd like to know if there's anything to fix in
that patch before it can get accepted or if there are any other problems to
resolve first.
Thanks a lot,
Marc

PING. Could I please get a comment about this, even if it's "go away" ?

I second the patch. :-)
Although according the Ben's earlier posting, we're both "in the pipeline".
So I guess we just sit tight a little longer...

If you haven't seen Bram's post to you now (that should comt to you directly and
via the vim_dev list), let me know and I will forward its text only to you. Seems
he has been having trouble reaching you (emails bouncing). If ones he sends to you
via the mailing list bounce too, it could get tricky!

Sorry, haven't received anything. Could you please forward it to me ?
Thank you,

I think the note was for Philip Prindeville, but it is relevant to all
contributors to the patch, I'm sure. I'll send it to all you guys while I'm at it.
It's so frustrating when email systems decide to be grumpy and drop mail like this.

What I tried to say: excluding /usr/local/[include|lib] is not specific
for cross compiling. This should be a separate setting. Then it can
also be set for cross compiling.
Most configure features are explained in the Makefile. Or in the
INSTALL file. I prefer the Makefile, there you can uncomment a line to
have it used, no need to type it (configure doesn't warn for
unrecognized arguments).
