[Expat-bugs] Cross compilation of expat

[Gaurav Madhav]

Hi 
 
I am trying to compile Expat library using the cross compiler
(arm-wrs-linux-gnueabi-armv6jel-glibc_small-gcc). 
 
 I downloaded expat 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 from net and tried to execute the
following command  after untaring the package. 
 

./configure
--host=/home/crdev/spark/library/bcom/x86-linux2/arm-wrs-linux-gnueabi-armv6
jel-glibc_small-gcc --prefix=/home/crdev/expat/2.0.0/compiled/

After I execute this command, I am getting the following compilation error

configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host.
    If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be used.
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... Invalid configuration
`arm-wrs-linux-gnueabi-armv6jel-glibc_small-gcc': machine
`arm-wrs-linux-gnueabi-armv6jel-glibc_small' not recognized
configure: error: /bin/sh conftools/config.sub
arm-wrs-linux-gnueabi-armv6jel-glibc_small-gcc failed

However when i try to compile it using gcc,library(lexpat.a) are getting
generated properly.

Can you please suggest me what could be the problem.

Thanks 

Gaurav
