Error when Cross Compiling Bind 9.8.0-P4 for arm-linux

[Mukund Deshpande]

Hi all,

I have been trying to cross compile ISC DHCP 4.2.2 package with bind
9.8.0-P4 but facing problems for bind package

These are my configure commands

This one for DHCP


       ./configure \
       --prefix=/home/mukund/projects/XYZ/CPSS-03.04.104p2/linux/XCAT_2.6.31/xcat_lsp.2.6.31/linux-2.6.31.8/rootfs/usr
\
       --exec-prefix=/home/mukund/projects/XYZ/CPSS-03.04.104p2/linux/XCAT_2.6.31/xcat_lsp.2.6.31/linux-2.6.31.8/rootfs
\
       --host=i686-linux --build=arm-linux \
       CC=/home/mukund/projects/XYZ/tools/arm-mv5sft-linux-gnueabi_SW3.2/bin/arm-mv5sft-linux-gnueabi-gcc
\
       "LIBS=-L/home/mukund/projects/XYZ/tools/arm-mv5sft-linux-gnueabi_SW3.2/arm-mv5sft-linux-gnueabi/sys-root/usr/lib"
\
       RANLIB=/home/mukund/projects/XYZ/tools/arm-mv5sft-linux-gnueabi_SW3.2/arm-mv5sft-linux-gnueabi/bin/ranlib
\
       ac_cv_file__dev_random=yes && \
       ${MAKE}


Mentioning the configure of DHCP as we are passing LIBS there and i
think the same LIBS is used by bind as well. (not sure)


In bind/Makefile I added BUILD_CC.

 @echo Configuring BIND Export libraries for DHCP.
       @(cd ${bindsrcdir} && ./configure
BUILD_CC=/home/mukund/projects/XYZ/tools/arm-mv5sft-linux-gnueabi_SW3.2/bin/arm-mv5sft-linux-gnueabi-gcc
--host=i686-linux --build=arm-linux --with-randomdev=/dev/random
--disable-kqueue --disable-epoll --disable-devpoll --without-openssl
--without-libxml2 --enable-exportlib --enable-threads=no
--with-export-includedir=${binddir}/include
--with-export-libdir=${binddir}/lib --with-gssapi=no)
# > ${binddir}/configure.log)



As mentioned in README file i passed the BUILD_CC for cross compilation.
But i am getting error here
