Re: How to make native build?

[meenaj <meetubansal at gmail dot com>]

Hi Jeff!

I am trying to do native build for newlib 1.20.0. I used below command to
configure:

 ../newlib-1.20.0/configure --target=i686-pc-linux-gnu 
--prefix=/home/meena/newlib/ninstall --with-newlib

But I am getting below error:

checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in
`/home/meena/newlib/nbuild/i686-pc-linux-gnu/64/newlib':
configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.


Please correct me where I went wrong.

Thanks and Regards,
Meena Jain
