Question
I'm trying to port libical to a arm based platform but there's an error while compiling. Here are the results of my build steps:
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/libical --build=i686-gnu-linux --host=arm-merlin-linux-uclibc

The build environment is Debian 6 squeeze:
uname -a
Linux 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Sun Sep 23 09:49:36 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux
Compiler version is 4.2.1
Is there an error with the sources/build script? A dependency problem? How to fix this? It would be also ok if there's an alternative to libical as long it is written in c or c++.
Solution
I solved this problem. It seems that libical does not support the ./configure method anymore. You should use cmake(an up2date version, 2.8.2 didn't worked for me) instead.
For me, the build process now looks like this:
$ export CC=arm-merlin-linux-uclibc-gcc
$ export CXX=arm-merlin-linux-uclibc-g++
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/cross/libical ..
...
$ make
...
$ make install
I hope this helps someone.
