Hi
I am trying to cross compile Glib to arm-linux platform.
I have already developed cross tools for arm processor.
I compiled as follows
1)./configure CC=arm-linux-gcc --cache-file=arm-linux.cache --host=arm-linux --build=i386

arm-linux.cache file contains following lines
glib_cv_long_long_format=ll
glib_cv_stack_grows=no


Then i got the following error message.

checking for preceeding underscore in symbols... configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling.

What could be the problem ?any idea?
Any suggestions will be greately welcome.

Thanks In advance.

Regards,
Harsha

I am also facing problems while cross compiling glib.

You can also run 'configure --disable-threads'
to compile without thread support.
