Hi, with ruby 1.9.0-1, I get the following error during the cross-compilation : cont.o -c cont.c cont.c: In function `cont_restore_0': cont.c:327: error: structure has no member named`machine\_stack\_src’ make: \*\*\* [cont.o] Error 1 This code seems not to be usually compiled. Thanks, Emanuele. ---

So from the configure log: checking build system type… i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type… arm-unknown-linux-gnu checking target system type… arm-unknown-linux-gnu checking for arm-linux-gcc… arm-linux-gcc checking for arm-linux-gcc… (cached) arm-linux-gcc I configured it with exactly the same options I used to succesfully cross compile ruby 1.8.6 p114: ./configure --host=arm-linux CFLAGS=-mbig-endian LDFLAGS=-mbig-endian Please tell me if any other info could be useful. Thanks, Emanuele. ---

Hi, removing -lrt I get the following error: ./libruby-static.a(time.o)(.text+0x198): In function `time_init': : undefined reference to `clock\_gettime’ collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: \*\*\* [ruby] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/del/Desktop/rubytrunk/ruby’ make: \*\*\* [all] Error 2 The “no version information available” kind of error seems to be the result of a library mismatch between the build and target systems ([Google Answers: Meaning of message "no version information available" at run-time on Linux](http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=786136)).

Indeed removing HAVE\_CLOCK\_GETTIME I’m able to get to the end of the compilation process. I still get the “Segmentation error” trying the resulting ruby on the target, doe. I guess I must recompile the glibc libraries to match those of the building system… > I hope you can solve the version inconsistency. Me too, trying to cross-compile the glibc libraries right now. Thank you again, Emanuele.
