I've tried to install the lib for FriendlyARM Mini2440 with the following config call:
"./configure --build=x86_64-linux-gnu --host=arm-linux --prefix=/usr/local/arm/4.3.2/arm-none-linux-gnueabi"
"make install" tried to copy the netconfig to the directory "/etc/netconfig". Seems like there is some prefix handling missing.
this isnt a cross-compiling issue. you really should be using DESTDIR to install into a different path, not hack with --prefix.
but the doc/Makefile.am probably should simply use:
sysconf_DATA = netconfig
