[Kde-bindings] Building QtRuby on MeeGo - any advice?

[Declan McGrath]

Hi Arno,

I managed to fix that issue. I saw that the /usr/lib/libm.so should be
a symlink whereas it was actually a zero bytes file. So I deleted the
borked /usr/lib/libm.so manually and then just make a symlink to the
correct target (/lib/libm.so.6) as follows

ln -s /lib/libm.so.6 /usr/lib/libm.so

So that's gotten me past that problem. Hurrah!

I've just got the cmake command successfully completing a minute ago.
Next, I'll try to get the make step working as soon as I can. Thanks a
million to everyone who helped on out this thread!

Regarding cross compiling, I'm running Meego under Xephyr. Xephyr is
described as a SDK Development Environment for MeeGo
(http://wiki.meego.com/MeeGo_SDK_with_Xephyr). I guess as I currently
intend to use QtRuby in this environment it's not cross-compiling. But
if I were to deploy it to a different device running a different
process (ie. ARM) then it would be cross-compiling? I'm not really
sure exactly what cross-compiling is...

All the best,
Declan
