Re: [Ltib] NM revision in tool chain

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Chris,


Further up in the output (when configure ran) it probably had some output 
mentioning trying to detect nm (maybe for the target).  This will have failed, 
so  you need to look at the test and figure out why it failed and if it is 
fixable.


If it's not fixable, you can probably just add this to your configure line:

lt_cv_path_NM=nm \
./configure ....the.rest.of.your.configure.line

In the spoofed environment (i.e. %build) nm will be bound to the spoofed target 
nm by the adjusted search path.

Regards Stuart
