Hi every one,
i am trying to cross compile sqlite3 with following options
(i got these options from previous threads in these forum)

./configure --host=arm-linux CC=/usr/local/arm-linux/bin/arm-linux-gcc AR=arm-linux-ar STRIP=arm-linux-strip RANLIB=arm-linux-ranlib

while executing make command i am getting following error

rm -fr .libs/libsqlite3.so .libs/libsqlite3.so.0 .libs/libsqlite3.so.0.8.6
/usr/local/arm-linux/bin/arm-linux-gcc -shared .libs/sqlite3.o -ldl -lpthread -Wl,-soname -Wl,libsqlite3.so.0 -o .libs/libsqlite3.so.0.8.6
(cd .libs && rm -f libsqlite3.so.0 && ln -s libsqlite3.so.0.8.6 libsqlite3.so.0)
(cd .libs && rm -f libsqlite3.so && ln -s libsqlite3.so.0.8.6 libsqlite3.so)
arm-linux-ar cru .libs/libsqlite3.a sqlite3.o
./libtool: line 5969: arm-linux-ar: command not found
make: *** [libsqlite3.la] Error 127

can anybody pls help me

Try
./configure --host=arm-linux CC=/usr/local/arm-linux/bin/arm-linux-gcc AR=/full/path/to/arm-linux-ar STRIP=arm-linux-strip RANLIB=arm-linux-ranlib

Check that it's executable. Worth a go.

hi i tried using this command but

./configure --host=arm-linux CC=/usr/local/arm-linux/bin/arm-linux-gcc AR=/full/path/to/arm-linux-ar STRIP=arm-linux-strip RANLIB=arm-linux-ranlib

I get following warning

configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host.
If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be used.

so can u explain what does that mean

after make and make install i get the output file but it is executable file and when i try to run on device following message pops up

bash-2.04# ./sqlite3
bash: ./sqlite3: cannot execute binary file

so please help me

What this is showing is that your choice of options is poor.
Don't argue with it - obey it.

hi,
can u please explain it to me

I think business_kid is saying "don't mix --host and --build".

That's good advice ... but I don't think you're using "--build", are you?

SUGGESTION:
1. Look here and see if it helps:
http://www.crosscompile.org/static/pages/SQLite.html
http://osdir.com/ml/sysutils.autocon.../msg00057.html

2. I think the host argument should be "--host=arm-linux" ... but I'm prepared to be wrong

3. Finally, this should be the BEST reference:
