Re: Cross compiling nmap

[Andy Smith <wasmith32 () comcast net>]

I am not familiar with the MIPS tool chain but I know that the ARM tool 
chain is picky about endianness. That may just be a GCC thing when cross 
compiling I suppose. A good guide for setting up the environment for a 
cross compile gcc tool chain is at:

http://www.libsdl.org/extras/win32/common

I would look at the cross-configure.sh and cross-make.sh scripts in 
particular. The scripts were written to accommodate MinGW, a gcc 
implementation that produces Windows binaries, but should give you and 
idea of what needs to be done for MIPS I would think. I have used 
modified versions of the MinGW scripts to compile both ARM and Windows 
executables on Linux with good results.

Regards,
Andy
