When I configure samba3.0.10 on ppc as following command:
CC=powerpc-linux-gcc AR=powerpc-linux-ar RANLIB=powerpc-linux-ranlib
./configure -host=powerpc-linux
I got a configure error message as following:
Configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling
See 'config.log' for more details
I think this is a samba configure bug, do anybody know how to pass it?
Thanks,
Johnson Cheng

No, it's not a bug. It's exactly what the message trys to tell you.
Samba wants to do some tests. But as it's not a native build,
it doesn't want to execute itself for the tests. Because
samba might not run on a different platform as it was built for.
If you want to do the tests, you need to let to do it on the
target where it was built for and not where it was built on.
Samba works fine over here on ppc embedded systems.

Yes. But how can I pass the testing?
For cross-compile environment, the HOST and the TARGET are almost not the
same, so many utility can configure for cross-compile with host setting
except samba.
It seems not sense.
