cross-compiling error

[Anonymous]

I get this error when running make while trying to cross compile:

    /usr/local/powerpc-linux/bin/powerpc-linux-gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I/usr/local/powerpc-linux/include -fPIC -I../include -I../include -I/usr/include/python2.6 -c sphinxbase.c -o build/temp.linux-i686-2.6/sphinxbase.o
    cc1: error: unrecognized option `-fwrapv'
    error: command '/usr/local/powerpc-linux/bin/powerpc-linux-gcc' failed with exit status 1
    make[1]: *** [pymod-build-stamp] Error 1
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/sphinxbase-0.4.1/python'
    make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

I found this in the man page of gcc 4.3.3 that comes with ubuntu:

               See also the -fwrapv option.  Using -fwrapv means that integer
               signed overflow is fully defined: it wraps.  When -fwrapv is used,
               there is no difference between -fstrict-overflow and
               -fno-strict-overflow for integers.  With -fwrapv certain types of
               overflow are permitted.  For example, if the compiler gets an
               overflow when doing arithmetic on constants, the overflowed value
               can still be used with -fwrapv, but not otherwise.

Although the gcc that comes with the toolchain for my machine is 3.3.4

It's more a python bug than pocketsphinx bug. Cross-compiling python modules
is a complicated task, though you can find a lot of documentation on that in
google if you need.

I would recommend you to disable python support with --without-python
configure option.

hmmm, i thought I read somewhere that it is because the older version of gcc
before 4.x doesn't support the -fwrapv tag, but I could be wrong..

Oh yes I don't have python on my target system. Is python required for
anything specific? What will I be missing out on if I configure without python
support?

[Nickolay V. Shmyrev]

No, python support only contains interface for using pocketsphinx from python
apps. You don't need it.

so sphinxbase and pocketsphinx is all i need? what do I copy over to my target
system once I cross compile both?

yes

what do I copy over to my target system once I cross compile both?

Well, you usually don't need to copy, you need to install the libraries in a
proper location in your target filesystem or you need to build static
application using them. Please read some introduction to cross-compilation to
understand the process. I would probably recommend Programming Embedded
Systems:
