Also whether something is considered "broken" or not depends somewhat on whether it is even promised anywhere to work, don't you think? As you should have noticed, LibreOffice is far from some "typical" small Open Source library using GNU auto everything that would be cross-compilable by simple passing --host and --build options to the configure script. LibreOffice's configury and build system is quite complex. (But then, so is the build system of most *large* Open Source software packages.) We don't promise anywhere that arbitrary cross-compilation would work. You don't even tell what the host platform for which you are cross-compiling is.</div><div><br></div><div>Sure, we don't have anything testing cross-compilation from one Unix to another Unix, for instance (like from x86_64 Linux to MIPS Linux, etc), so if that is broken, that is not surprising. I think at some stage a few of us managed to cross-compile from x86 (or x86_64) Linux to Raspberry Pi ARM Linux, but that was last year and many things might have bit-rotted since. </div><div><br></div><div>--tml</div><div><br></div></div></div></div>
