Cross Compile Mips / Linux

[nickpreiser at hotmail.com]

Hi Everyone,

I trying to get a build of Python together to run on an Embedded Linux
/ Mips machine.
I run the ./configure --host= XXXmips(my mips proc) --build=XXX x86(my
pc).  and the
configure runs perfectly.  I then run "make" and it fails .
I have also tried appling some patches, and running autoconf  ,  but I
end up with the
same compile errrors.
Has anyone successfully built for Mips/Linux  using a PC for the
build??,
Should I try using a Linux based machine for the build,  would that
help??

Any and all suggestions welcome, 

Thanks

Nick P
