[omniORB] Cross compiling omniORB

[Michael Shearer]

Hi,

Sorry, I meant autoconf not automake.  The PORTING document found under the readme directory of distribution says to try the autoconf script first then if that fails try the old style build scripts.  My point was that I was able to get autoconf to work for cross-compile with very little modifications to configure.ac.

Thanks,

Mike

What documentation says that?!  The configure script specifically only
works if you are not cross compiling. omniORB doesn't use automake at
all, so that's bound to fail,

There are no automake files distributed with any version of omniORB.
What files do you mean?

The proper way to cross compile omniORB is to use the old style build
system using platform makefiles, and setting the EmbeddedSystem make
variable.

Cheers,

Duncan.
