<div dir="ltr">I tried compiling Ruby 1.9.0-3 (<a href="ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.0-3.tar.gz" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.0-3.tar.gz</a>) with the following commands:<br>
<br>./configure --prefix=/usr/local/openmoko/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/usr --host=arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi<br>
make<br><br>When I examine the executables created (using 'file <executable name>') it shows its a x86 binary. Also, I checked the build logs and I see that though it tries to take the libraries from the path specified in --prefix, it skips them and continues (to the x86 ones in /usr/lib/ i guess).<br>
<br>So in conclusion, the 'CC', 'LD' , etc. are all pointing to the ones in '/usr/bin' . How do I change this? Do I manually change them in the Makefile? Do I pass CC='<path to ARM gcc>' LD='<path to ARM ld>' to ./configure? If so, don't I need to pass other commands too? Which all and isn't there a better way? <br>

</blockquote></div><br>By altering the value of CC in the Makefile, I made some more progress. It compiled miniruby. However, it tries to execute miniruby in the next step and here we fail. I am not very familiar with the Ruby codebase and building it. Is anyone aware what miniruby is?<br>
