peanut_ger has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I'm trying to cross-compile Perl 5.10.1 to arm-merlin (ARM9), my target OS is Embedded Linux. My Cross-Compiler-Toolchain is MobilyGen SDK.

I followed the instructions in the /Cross/readme file an generated the config.sh file on my target-system. After I copied and renamed it, I changed the entries in /Cross/config. If I execute 'make patch' the following information occours in the console:

cd .. ; if [ ! -e ./CROSS_PATCHED ] ; then \ patch -p1 < Cross/Makefile.SH.patch; \ patch -p1 < Cross/installperl.patch ; mv installperl installperl-patch +ed; \ sed -e 's/XXSTRIPXX/arm-merlin-linux/' installperl-patched > installpe +rl; \ touch CROSS_PATCHED ; fi

Next, I typed 'make perl' and received the following error message:

make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/perl-5.10.1/x2p' make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/perl-5.10.1' make[1]: *** No rule to make target `more'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/perl-5.10.1' make: *** [perl] Error 2

I've tried to set the Compiler, Linker, etc. manually or used the predefined configure file, but finally I get always this error.

I'd be glad if someone could help me to fix this error.

thanks,
peanut
