Re: [Ltib] error while compiling pango-1.20 and gtk+-2.18 by ltib

[Stuart Hughes]

Just to be clear, can you confirm that you are trying to upgrade version
of gtk2, cairo, pango ?

If this is the case, then it's a matter of working through the issues.
This is a packaging problem of gtk2, not an LTIB domain problem. You
need to debug the failure, and figure out where the "cross compiling"
message is coming from and then decide how to override this.  Often
there are controls you can pass to configure that pre-answer the tests.
 Doing this prevents a test being run and so avoids failures.  If you run:
grep ac_cv dist/lfs-5.1/*/*.spec

You will see some examples of what I mean.  If there is nothing to
control this action, you'll need to patch configure to avoid the
failure.  However, you must make sure that whatever the test was trying
to do is still achieved (e.g. pre-decide the outcome you want).
