Cross-compiling and nmedit

[Yevgen Muntyan]

Hi everybody,

I am cross-compiling libraries for Mac OS X on linux. Everything works
fine except one thing: the libtool script generated in the build directory
is trying to execute nmedit, which fails. It works fine after I replace all
instances of 'nmedit' with 'powerpc-apple-darwin8-nmedit'.

So, is there a way to tell libtool to use nmedit for target system instead
of the native one? I tried setting NMEDIT environment variable, it didn't
help. I configure with
--target=powerpc-apple-darwin8 --host=powerpc-apple-darwin8
so the target name is indeed the prefix of the tool name and so it's not
a name problem.

The libraries are "normal" autoconf+automake+libtool projects (for example
cairo and gtk), I am using libtool-1.5.22, automake-1.10, and autoconf-2.61.

Thank you,
Yevgen
