Hi ,  
I want to know how to cross compile nginx-1.0.11.

I have already tried : --with-cc option  
but it is giving me an error : checking for C compiler … found but is  
not working

```
                                    ./configure: error: C compiler

```

arm-linux-gcc is not found

```
                             --with-cc-opt is also not working.

```

I tried to change compiler manually too(by changing a Makefile).

I have already install arm-linux-gcc and its working fine with  
openssl(It successfully cross compiled openssl. so problem is not with  
arm-linux compiler).

Any help will be highly appreciated …  
Thanks in advance. 🙂

Cross-compilation isn’t currently supported by nginx.

There are no plans to support cross-compilation.
