CROSS_COMPILE - namespace collision

CROSS_COMPILE - namespace collision

[Lee Revell]

I have not been able to get readline 5.1 to compile with the ELDK - it
places the value of CROSS_COMPILE in the gcc command line and thus fails
with "No such file or directory".  I emailed the readline maintainer and
got this response: 

"The bash Makefiles expect CROSS_COMPILE
to expand to a preprocessor option, and will fail otherwise."

I can make it work with a hack, but I thought this might be interesting
info.

Any comments?

Dear Lee,

Did you read the documentation?

Please see section "3.7.2. Rebuilding Target Packages" in the manual,
http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/ELDKRebuildingComponents#Section_3.7.2.

It describes clearly what needs to be done to build target  packages.
Also  note  that  readline  already comes as part of the ELDK, so you
probably might just use the existing code.

Please RTFM.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
