How to cross-compile POP3Lite
=============================

Cross-compiling POP3Lite is pretty easy,  although, not as simple as a
native compile.

First  of all,  you'll require  a cross-compiler  (eg  gcc-i386-gnu on
Debian), building one is not really a big deal.

When  you've got  everything in  place: the  cross-compiler,  the host
system's  libraries and headers,  then get  the POP3Lite  sources from
anonymous  CVS. It  has  some files  that  can make  your life  *much*
easier. Probably you'll only have to twiddle a little with rebuild.mk.

	o Run `configure', with special parameters:

		./configure --host=[host-system] --build=[build-system]

	The [host-system] is the  target of the compile (eg i386-gnu),
	the [build-system] is your native system (eg i386-linux-gnu).

	You  MAY require  additional tweaking,  by setting  CFLAGS and
	LDFALGS,  so  the C  compiler  won't  use  the build  system's
	libraries.

	If  you have  GLib installed  on  the build  system, pass  the
	following options to configure:

		--disable-glib-test --with-glib-prefix=[prefix]

	Where [prefix] is something like `/gnu/usr/local'.

	You  MIGHT  have to  twiddle  with  other libraries,  however,
	setting CFLAGS, LDFLAGS and  passing some options to configure
	should do the job.

	o After a successful configuration, type `make' to compile the
	package.

	o When  make finished,  you can even  install POP3Lite  to the
	host  system, by  passing  a DESTDIR=[dir]  parameter to  make
	install. For example:

		make install DESTDIR=[dir]

	o Bug  reports  go to  8@free.bsd.hu. Please  include  as much
	information as possible.

Cross-compile notes
===================

FreeBSD 4.0
-----------

When you cross-compile to i386-freebsdelf4.0, ltconfig does not detect
that the  host system  is ELF, therefore  it generates a  pretty buggy
libtool script. You have the following choices:

	o Look at the ltconfig script, and fix it

	o Look at  the ltconfig script, and figure  out how it detects
	your system,  and change  your build system  accordingly (fool
	libtool)

	o After  configuring, apply the  patch found in  dist/ (called
	libtool-freebsd-cross.diff)
