I may have asked this before ... my memory is bad. Is it possible to run "make tests" on a cross-compile build? --- Scott Neugroschl | XYPRO Technology Corporation 4100 Guardian Street | Suite 100 |Simi Valley, CA 93063 | Phone 805 583-2874|Fax 805 583-0124 |

You couldn't run them on the host compiler. They should work fine if you copy the build directory to the target platform and run them there.
