Cross Compiling Mono for ARM

[kartiknatarajan]

Hi,

I am trying to cross compile Mono for an ARM target (XScale Intel PXA255). While cross compiling my ./configure breaks, I am pasting the last few lines of the error below.

See `config.log' for more details.

Can anyone please let me know why is this happening. It is kind of urgent and any help will be of great use.

Thanks.

Hi Mods,

Please let me know if I have incorrectly posted here for this question. As I could not find a Embedded Linux subforum I searched for a cross compiliation thread and posted into the same thread.

Others,

Please let me know if you have any suggestions to this issue.

I do not have any direct experience with what you are attempting, but as for your issue, have you done anything with respect to this message?...


See `config.log' for more details.

If so, what information was in the log file?

What's your cross-compiler/environment ?

[kartiknatarajan]

The output of the config.log does not suggest much. please check - http://pastebin.com/m3ab11f0a.

The build environment is a Intel X64 machine and I am using Ubuntu. The target is a Intel Xscale PXA 255 processor (ARM) and the cross compiler is a arm-linux cross compiler. You can find more details in the above pastebin link.

Also the variables I am using for configure -

./configure CC='/home/kartik/stargate-linux/bin/arm-linux-gcc' CXX='/home/kartik/stargate-linux/bin/arm-linux-g++' --x-libraries=/home/kartik/stargate-linux/lib CPP='/home/kartik/stargate-linux/bin/arm-linux-cpp' --cache-file=config.cache --host=arm-unknown-linux-gnu --target=arm-unknown-linux-gnu --with-includes=/usr/local/arm.new/arm-unknown-linux-gnu/include/ --disable-mcs-build

Output till where ./configure breaks - http://pastebin.com/m6fe09a07

Thanks for your assistance.

Anyone has any inputs on this?

I would ask the people in the official mono channel, #mono on irc.gimp.org
