Re: How to cross compile procServ?

[Ralph Lange <Ralph.Lange@bessy.de>]

Should be configure.ac - which lists the tests that autoconf should put 
into the configure script. Comment out AC_FUNC_SETPGRP in that file.
This setpgrp test, while being one of autoconf's standard tests, does 
not work in cross-compiling environments. I will have to replace it with 
an equivalent test that also works when cross-compiling.
I created a Trac bug report on procServ's Sourceforge project for this. 
[1] Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

If you compile procServ within an EPICS project, you can use that 
project's configuration instead of using autoconf. See `configure 
--help` (option "--with-epics-top") for details.

Sorry for the inconvenience!
Ralph
