Re: Automake for RISC-V

[Billa Surendra]

I have RISC-V native compiler on target image, but when I am compiling
automake on target image it needs automake on target. This is the main
problem. In the same way I am trying to install texinfo on target image it
also need automake on target. Suggest me how I can break this circular
dependency.

Thanks
