VNC for Linux on ARM 9

[Bengt Hammarlin]

Oh yes, it is trying to run ARM code on an Intel and that does not work too
well :-)

I tried --help but that was not very helpful unfortunately...

I am still trying to figure out how to con configure into avoiding the test.
I'd rather not hack the script tho...

Anyone, ideas??

Thanx
Bengt
(still lost.)

Hi Bengt,

I'm afraid I can't remember the details offhand, but I suspect that the
cross-compilation is the problem - configure is trying to run an executable
to test for something, but it won't be able to, since of course the ARM
executable won't run on FC6.  If I remember correctly, there'll be something
you can specify to configure to avoid it needing the test, so configure
--help is probably the place to start looking.

Cheers,
