Cross-libtool?
Hello again,
I have reached the next obstacle in my attempt to cross-compile to
Debian armeb from my Debian x86 PC: I need a libtool.
I'm not sure whether I need a way to make the libtool that I already
have on my build machine know about cross-compiling, or whether I need a
separate target-specific version. I tried the former approach:
$ libtool --mode=compile armeb-linux-g++ -Wall -O -o foo.lo -c foo.cc
libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration
libtool: compile: specify a tag with `--tag'
Hmm, --tag is not mentioned in the libtool documentation as far as I can
see.
On the other hand, I can't see a way to build a libtool for
cross-compilation; it's configure options include --build and --host,
but not --target which I think is what I would need [though I am easily
confused by the difference between cross-compiling libtool and building
a libtool to use for cross-compiling...].
Can anyone point me in the right direction? The only mentions of
cross-compiling and libtool that I can find on the web are in the
context of automake, which I'm not using in this case.
Many thanks.
--Phil.
