Hello Chris,

I already have Python 2.6 cross compiled for ARM. However, now I am trying to cross compile “Python Image Library” and getting stuck with the same.

Do you have any idea as to how can I cross-compile PIL. Can you help me?

Thanking in anticipation.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for your reply. I want to know how complex is the work to create a patch for any Python version. For example If i want to create a patch for Python3.1, is it a very cumbersome process? Does this work require a speacial expertise? If possible please explain me about your approach in doing this. So that i can try for myself.

Thanks & regards,
Anand

Hi Chris,
I need to do cross compile Python 3.1 in Linux environment. I couldn’t find any patch for Python3.1. Do you have patch for Python3.1?

Thanks & Regards,

I am trying to follow the instructions from “K’s clutter loft”.
I just don’t know the configure scripting to get the ./configure script to NOT do the “checking for %zd printf() format support” test.

Any pointers there? Do you know that scripting? Once I get that done I think it will work.

Thanks again.
