samba - May 2012 - cross-compile samba4

Hi All,

Are there any good, up-to-date hints out there for cross compiling 
Samba4 for Arm?

I've looked at http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Waf#cross-compiling but 
the info is a little dated it appears. I'm looking to build for the 
dreamplug and based on the info on the wiki I've installed qemu and an 
arm toolchain but 'cross-execute' appears to be ignored. At least
that's
what it looks like to me.

The 'config' step fails complaining it can't find the python
libraries
but I suspect the process is failing to run the created arm code.

Of course I could be way off of base with my assumtions. Maybe I'd be 
better off not using waf? Either way, any hints on cross-compiling 
samba4 greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Mike.

Mike,

I've CC'ed Kai, who is our expert on Samba4 on ARM.  Hopefully he can
help you out.
