PPC cross-compiling 1394 libraries

PPC cross-compiling 1394 libraries

[Kevin Fry]

I need to compile some 1394 libraries for my embedded 8260 board running
HHL 2.0. These
are the libraw1394 libraries needed for Firewire.  They have a
./configure script
and everything, but if I tell the script --target=powerpc-linux I get
100's of
make errors.  I'm using the HHL2.0 cross compiler, maybe that needs
something
extra to be done?

Any advice on cross compiling libraries would be very appreciated?

I sent this before, but i bounced back, so I'm not sure if it made it to
the list or not. If so, I'm sorry for the double post.

Whenever I have cross compiled something I have always just edited the
makefiles by hand.  If you are using a std Linux box then all the data types
should be ok and configure will pick things up just fine.

I don't remember but I think I compiled libraw at some point.  What are the
errors you are getting?  Now that I think about it you may want to make sure
you have it pointing to the kernel source you will be using on the walnut.
This is one area you must make sure things are the same.
