[kaffe] Kaffe (ARM Cross-Compile using GNU EABI)

[Leandro Galvez]

Hi again,

    Tried using Kaffe from CVS today, but this time I was not even able to 
complete configuration stage.  It game me the error below:
checking for ltdl.h... no
configure: error: Can't find the ltdl.h header file from the libltdl library

    The command I used is written below.  Can any body help me figure out 
what is wrong? Am I using correct kaffeh, am I using proper tools, are my 
parameters wrong? Can anybody provide me with complete list of dependencies, 
toolchain and procedure, and command line. I kept on running into errors. 
Please help me I need to make kaffe run.
KAFFEH=/usr/local/kaffe/bin/kaffeh CC=arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc 
NM=arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-nm AR=arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-ar 
../kaffe/configure --host=arm-linux --build=i686-linux --with-jikes=yes --disable-native-awt

Thanks and best regards,
Andy Galvez
