Hi Tom,

Thanks for your prompt reply. Eventually, I did manage to get it
cross-compile and install on the target and my initial tests show no
problems so far. I had to modify the timezone Makefile by hand to force
the ZICOBJS to compile using the host's native compiler (as localtime.o
is used in OBJS list I made the output file for zic to be tlocaltime.o).

Regards

Taj Nezami

We don't really support cross-compilation at the moment.  There are
several AC_TRY_RUN tests in the configure script that may or may not
make the right guesses when cross-compiling, plus as you found out
there's at least one program that needs to be run during the
installation phase.

It shouldn't be too hard to copy over the zic program and its input
data files and run it on the target machine, but the existing Makefiles
won't help you with that :-(

On the whole I'd advise building on the target.  If it's got enough
oomph to run a database, it can surely run a compiler ...

            regards, tom lane
