Hi everyone (again). I thought I'd post some feedback regarding cross-compiling stunnel, which I have successfully done for an Arm based embedded system we use.
I had to edit the 'configure' script in order to remove three sections of code that just check for the cross compiling option, and if set simply exit (message 'cannot check for file existence when cross compiling'). This behaviour really isn't condusive to successful cross compiling. :-) So as I say I removed these sections of code.
Next, I configured with './configure --host=arm-linux', then 'make' and the rest are standard as usual.
Perhaps the configure script for future releases could be a little more friendly for those cross compiling? Editing the configure file shouldn't be necessary.
