Problem with cross-compiling CUPSfor ARMprocessor

[Tom Morrison]

Michael-

Thank you for replying so quickly!!

I apologize for being such a newbie - just not used to hacking
something like cups/ipptool in order to get it run correctly on
target (I have a lot of experience with programs that are built
for cross-compiling). So, I tried the best, but I still have a problem...

I did as you suggested and configured/compiled the program, but
I am getting a segfault when trying to run ipptools?

Here is my configure line:

./configure --prefix=/home/morrisont/workdir/filesys2 \
   -build=/opt/armCodeSourcery/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-

I go into cups subdirectory, build & install (no errors).
I go to the test directory build & install (no errors)

FYI: CC/LD/AR/RANLIB/STRIP are all defined in environment
  declare -x AR="/opt/armCodeSourcery/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ar"
  declare -x CC="/opt/armCodeSourcery/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc"
  declare -x CROSS_COMPILE="/opt/armCodeSourcery/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-"
  declare -x CXX="/opt/armCodeSourcery/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++"
  declare -x LD="/opt/armCodeSourcery/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ld"
  declare -x RANLIB="/opt/armCodeSourcery/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ranlib"
  declare -x strip="/opt/armCodeSourcery/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-strip"

I am thinking that my configure is incorrect and looking in the wrong place
to link for libraries - like in my prefix directory?

Thanks for any guidance you can provide (and in doing so - perhaps help
others too)...
