Hi all I have been struggling for 2 days now to cross compile PERL for mini6410. I have gone through numerous help files, but with no luck. Has anybody managed to get it compiled? Can you maybe make your steps available or maybe even post your binaries? Regards Morne
With only 3 hits in search it does not appear to be a popular and/or difficult program to cross-compile :) Maybe, if you describe your process and specifically what errors you are seeing you might get some suggestions. Good luck.
I have used perl on my mini2440, but I have installed Debian linux on a SD card so I just installed it using "apt-get install perl". This thread should have some information about installing debian: http://friendlyarm.net/forum/topic/1598 but then you will off course miss the original qtopia desktop ui system.
Hi davef and stereo_m Thanks for your replies. It actually looks like cross-compiling PERL is actually very difficult. I spoke to a embedded developer yesterday and even with all his cross-compiling experience, he said that it will be possible, but very difficult. So, stereo_m, I am going to investigate your solution today, as I would not need a gui for my application. I will be running a web server with perl cgi scripts on the device. Regards Morne
