+CROSS COMPILE
+=============
+
+ (This section was graciously brought to us by Jim Duey, 23-oct-2001)
+
+ Download and unpack the cURL package. Version should be 7.9.1 or later.
+
+ 'cd' to the new directory. (ie. curl-7.9.1-pre4)
+
+ Set environment variables to point to the cross-compile toolchain and call
+ configure with any options you need. Be sure and specify the '--host' and
+ '--build' parameters at configuration time. The following script is an
+ example of cross-compiling for the IBM 405GP PowerPC processor using the
+ toolchain from MonteVista for Hardhat Linux.
+
+ (begin script)
+
+ #! /bin/sh
+
+ export PATH=$PATH:/opt/hardhat/devkit/ppc/405/bin
+ export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/hardhat/devkit/ppc/405/target/usr/include"
+ export AR=ppc_405-ar
+ export AS=ppc_405-as
+ export LD=ppc_405-ld
+ export RANLIB=ppc_405-ranlib
+ export CC=ppc_405-gcc
+ export NM=ppc_405-nm
+
+ configure --target=powerpc-hardhat-linux \
+ --host=powerpc-hardhat-linux \
+ --build=i586-pc-linux-gnu \
+ --prefix=/opt/hardhat/devkit/ppc/405/target/usr/local \
+ --exec-prefix=/usr/local
+
+ (end script)
+
+ The '--prefix' parameter specifies where cURL will be installed. If
+ 'configure' completes successfully, do 'make' and 'make install' as usual.
