[Gumstix-users] ffmpeg: Unknown option "--host=arm-linux"

[Chuck R. <shi...@ro...>]

(Ubuntu Linux 2.6.20-16. Destination is a 400MHz gumstix, using the  
stock build 1161.)

I'm trying to build ffmpeg for the gumstix, and am following the wiki  
instructions for porting 3rd party software:
     http://docwiki.gumstix.org/Gumstix_programming
but I can't even get to first base.

I have the buildroot built on my Linux system, and I can make and  
deploy the "hello world" test program onto the gumstix, and that  
works fine. So at least I have the basic build environment set up  
correctly.

But, I can't specify "arm-linux" to the ffmpeg configure script:

$ ./configure --host=arm-linux
Unknown option "--host=arm-linux".

How do you build ffmpeg for the gumstix?
