The GNU autotools book has a whole chapter about this, too much for me to parse and summarise here quickly. There's probably a section in info autoconf too. The most useful thing is it sets a shell variable called cross_compiling ("yes" or "no"). The book also says you need to watch out for AC_TRY_RUN and AC_CHECK_SIZEOF, and some others that look a bit obscure. -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk
