Cross Compiling Issue of udev-151 for MIPS Little Endain Architecture

Hi All,
I am trying to cross compile udev-151 for MIPS little endian architecture.

I am configuring like this:

./configure --prefix=$PWD/sree --host=mips-linux-gnu

Please guide me to fix this error. I also have installed libacl using sudo -apt-get install command. yet it throws error while configuring it.

Installing gives you what you need to run the library, but not what you need to compile with it. Try installing libacl-dev .

Hi Corona,

i have installed libacl-dev already. when i tried to re-install it says "libacl1-dev is already the newest version".

still i face the same issue. I have restarted the system and tried, but no use. is there any other way to sort this.????

I am using Linux 10.04 64b OS.

Linux what? Linux is the name of the kernel, not the distribution.
