samba - Feb 2002 - compiling for ARM from a x86

Hi,

How to compile the source code in order to run it on a
ARM processor when using a X86 ?

thanks,

just the same way as with any other gcc-comaptible sourcecode. grab the
gcc sources, configure gcc to be a cross compiler for ARM (the gcc
readme is your friend there, or was that 'your enemy'...), then compile
samba for ARM by using the right gcc binary to compile it.
I've never done that myself so I can't offer further help, but the gcc
docs on building cross-development environments are quite extensive.

Hi back,
1. Take a cross compiler
E.g. from  http://www.lart.tudelft.nl/lartware/compile-tools/

2. Set up your enviroment for it (you may need the linux-include 	  
"include/asm-arm" mapped to include/asm )

3. Change your PATH enviroment variable or - so do I -
change the Makefile in the source directory, so that CC points to your cross 
compiler (after normal configure).


4. Compile it.

You have to be aware, that you may need additional libraries (e.g. libcups).
You can cross-compile them the same way as described before or look at the 
debian sites - they have nearly everything for arm in binary packages.
