[Astlinux-users] cross-compiling Zaptel...

[Frederick L. <fre...@gm...>]

Hi All,

I've been trying to build Astlinux from svn trunk.  My host is gentoo
2006.1 amd64 and my target is i586 for a Soekris 4801 box.  See at the
bottom of my mail for the error I get when I build Astlinux with
BR2_PACKAGE_ZAPTEL and BR2_PACKAGE_ASTERISK_ZAPTEL.

I tracked the error to Zaptel's Makefile which seems to ignore any
CFLAGS received by 'configure' and use the output of 'uname -m' to
figure for which arch it is building (Makefile from line 97 to 100).
Where I doubt by debugging, is that this would indicate that zaptel
can't be cross-compiled as it will always build for the host's
architecture and not the target's... ans I can't believe this would
not have been found before.  A quick fix would be a patch to remove
CFLAGS_X86-64 and CFLAGS_PPC from Zaptel's Makefile... This way, it
would always build for the toolchain's native architecture (the
target's).

See the attached patch that could be added to 'package/zaptel/'
