Today Trying my luck with compiling fdisk utility;
Source code at:
http://www.gnu.org/software/fdisk
Current fdisk 1.0 is July 7 2007 370K source .tar.gz
./configure --disable-cfdisk --host=arm-linux --build=i686 --disable-largefile
./configure says to install GNU/Parted before compiling.
It needs parted/parted.h.
http://www.gnu.org/software/parted Latest version is 1.8.7 of May 2007.
1.4GB source code tar.gz.
./configure --host=arm-linux --build=i686
configure: error: GNU Parted requires libuuid - a part of the e2fsprogs package (but
GNU Parted requires libuuid - a part of the e2fsprogs package (but
sometimes distributed separately in uuid-devel or similar)
This can probably be found on your distribution's CD or FTP site or at:
http://web.mit.edu/tytso/www/linux/e2fsprogs.html
Note: if you are using pre compiled packages you will also need the development
package as well (which may be called e2fsprogs-devel or something similar).
If you compile e2fsprogs yourself then you need to do 'make install' and
'make install-libs'.
I got the e2fsprogs tools, still same error.
Well while doing this I discovered about an easy way of cross-compilation ie Scratchbox;
will post more about Scratchbox after I install and test it.
