Hi,

Since sending my last post I have found:

	cp -r /tmp/target/usr/include/X11
/usr/i686-pc-linux-uclibc/sys-include/

'fools' it into building. Does anyone know a 'proper' way of getting this
working ?




This then leads onto the next problem emerge'ing 'libX11'.

	'checking whether malloc(0) returns NULL... configure: error: cannot
run test program while cross compiling'.

I'm quite new to cross compiling. I can see what the problem is - configure
cant run any programs in the target environment to fill out config.guess -
because its running on the host. Is there any well known way of working
around this other then trying to manually write a config.guess for the
packages that can't configure themselves for the target environment?

Thanks
Ryan
