RE: Building a cross compiler for the StrongARM processor in Pentium/ linux host environment

["Saxena, Nikita" <nsaxena at flatpanels dot com>]

Hi,

I'm a little new to using linux and such.  I tried setting CC=/usr/bin/gcc
and CC=/usr/bin/cc and CC=gcc and CC=cc, none of which would stop configure
from giving me the same message about not being able to find a working
compiler.  Am I doing something wrong with setting this environment
variable?  When I type env to show the environment variables, CC only shows
up one time.  If I do that again, it's not there.  Also, the only system
compiler I could find was the one under /usr/bin

Thanks,
Nikita
