in reply to Help Needed Cross Compile Perl ARM/Linux

Configure checks header files, and writes, compiles and runs various C programs on the fly to configure perl, so cross-compiled code must run on the target platform. The only other way I know would be configuring on the target host, and cross-compiling on the build host. For Configure to run on the target host you need a compiler there.

If you can't run Configure on the target host, run it on the build host and edit config.sh at the end of the configure process. You will have to find out all the configurable values yourself, though.
