cross compiling ARPing tool for ARM platform

[jeb...@tonboimaging.com]

Hi,
I have tried to portARPing to ARM platform.

I have installed libpcab and libnet packages to ARM platform. I have used the following configure command for ARPing tool,

 ./configure --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --prefix=/opt/dvr_rdk/ti816x/snmp/final

It returns with the following error:

configure: error: in `/home/jebaraj/dm8168/snmp/arping-2.16':
configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling
See `config.log' for more details


I have attached the config.log for your reference. Any suggestion to fix this error?

Thanks,
Jebaraj

Sorry for the very late reply. I'm not too familiar with cross
compiling. Arping itself works on ARM, since it works on Raspberry Pi.

The config.log says:
/home/jebaraj/dm8168/snmp/arping-2.16/conftest.c:88: undefined
reference to `cap_init'

Could you try installing libcap (in addition to libpcap you already
installed), and try again?
