-Cross-compilation is the proceess of compiling a program or
-library on a different architecture or operating system then
-it will be run upon. GLib is slightly more difficult to
-cross-compile than many packages because much of GLib is
-about hiding differences between different systems.
-
-These notes cover things specific to cross-compiling GLib;
-for general information about cross-compilation, see the
-autoconf info pages.
-
-GLib tries to detect as much information as possible about
-the target system by compiling and linking programs without
-actually running anything; however, some information GLib
-needs is not available this way. This information needs
-to be provided to the configure script via a "cache file"
-or by setting the cache variables in your environment.
-
-As an example of using a cache file, to cross compile for
-the "MingW32" Win32 runtine environment on a Linux system,
-create a file 'win32.cache' with the following contents:
-
-===
-glib_cv_long_long_format=ll
-glib_cv_stack_grows=no
-===
-
-Then execute the following commands:
-
-===
-PATH=/path/to/mingw32-compiler/bin:$PATH
-chmod a-w win32.cache # prevent configure from changing it
-./configure --cache-file=win32.cache --host=mingw32
-===
-
-The complete list of cache file variables follows. Most
-of these won't need to be set in most cases.
-
-Cache file variables
-====================
-
-glib_cv_long_long_format=[ll/q/I64]
-
- Format used by printf and scanf for 64 bit integers. "ll" is
- the C99 standard, and what is used by the 'trio' library
- that GLib builds if your printf() is insufficiently capable.
- Doesn't need to be set if you are compiling using trio.
-
-glib_cv_stack_grows=[yes/no]
-
- Whether the stack grows up or down. Most places will want "no",
- A few architectures, such as PA-RISC need "yes".
-
-glib_cv_working_bcopy=[yes/no]
-
- Whether your bcopy can handle overlapping copies. Only needs to be set
- if you don't have memmove. (Very unlikely)
-
-glib_cv_sane_realloc=[yes/np]
-
- Whether your realloc() conforms to ANSI C and can handle NULL as
- the first argument. Defaults to "yes" and probably doesn't need to be set.
-
-glib_cv_have_strlcpy=[yes/no]
-
- Whether you have strlcpy that matches OpenBSD. Defaults to "no",
- which is safe, since GLib uses a built-in version in that case.
-
-glib_cv_va_val_copy=[yes/no]
-
- Whether va_list can be copied as a pointer. If set to "no",
- then memcopy will be used. Only matters if you don't have
- va_copy or __va_copy. (So, doesn't matter for GCC.) Defaults
- to "yes" which is slightly more common than "no".
-
-glib_cv_rtldglobal_broken=[yes/no]
-
- Whether you have a bug found in OSF/1 v5.0. Defaults to "no".
-
-glib_cv_uscore=[yes/no]
-
- Whether an underscore needs to be prepended to symbols when
- looking them up via dlsym. Only needs to be set if your system
- uses dlopen/dlsym.
-
-ac_cv_func_posix_getpwuid_r=[yes/no]
-
- Whether you have a getpwuid_r function (in your C library,
- not your thread library) that conforms to the POSIX spec.
- (Takes a 'struct passwd **' as the final argument)
-
-ac_cv_func_nonposix_getpwuid_r=[yes/no]
-
- Whether you have some variant of getpwuid_r that doesn't
- conform to to the POSIX spec, but GLib might be able to
- use (or might segfault.) Only needs to be set if
- ac_cv_func_posix_getpwuid_r is not set. It's safest to set
- this to "no".
-
-glib_cv_use_pid_surrogate=[yes/no]
-
- Whether to use a setpriority() on the PID of the thread as
- a method for setting the priority of threads. This only
- needs to be set when using POSIX threads.
-
-ac_cv_func_printf_unix98=[yes/no]
