Re: [libvirt] Compiling libvirt RPC client library for QNX

All you have to do is tell configure what it needs to know: ./configure --build=$(build-aux/config.guess) \ --host=$FIXME CC=icc.10.2.014b where you replace $FIXME with the proper target triple of your QNX machine (I honestly don't know what that would be, and a quick read through build-aux/config.sub which lists all canonical target triples didn't make it obvious to me). It sounds like you are brand new to cross-compiling code that follows GNU Coding Standards. If so, I'd highly suggest that you FIRST try something MUCH simpler, like cross-compiling GNU Hello[1] using the same arguments to that project's configure. Once you get a simple binary cross-compiling with correct --build, --host, and CC= arguments, then you can use the same arguments on any other project (including libvirt) where ./configure follows GNU Coding Standards. And as this list is not full of people with QNX experience, you may have better luck looking elsewhere for people who DO know how to cross-compile to QNX, even if what they compile is not libvirt, to at least learn the basics of setting up a successful cross-compile for your platform.
