cross-compile dhcp-4.2.5 and bind-9.8.4-P1

[Trevor Bowen]

Hi,

I have seen several posts on this subject, which have helped me over several 
hurdles; however, I am still having trouble cross-compiling the latest 
dhcp-4.2.5, specifically the subdir, bind (bind-9.8.4-P1).  It seems that my 
cross-compile settings are not being properly handed down to the bind sub-build.

Does anyone have a working cross-compile for dhcp-4.2.5?  Could you share 
your configuration?  Here is what I am doing (see below).

It seems some serious hacking is required on the Makefile and Makefile.in 
files all throughout the code tree to either manually propagate the 
cross-compile settings or to hard-code them.  Have I overlooked something?

Thanks!

Trevor
