[cairo] Cairo on iOS

[mpsuzuki at hiroshima-u.ac.jp]

Hi,

Although I have a few Mac OS X machines, I don't have
installed iOS simulators & cross compilers. Please let
me ask a small question; I guess the compiler for
iPhone simulator creates the binary for intel CPU, but
the compiled binary cannot be executed directly on Mac
OS X as if it were Mac OS X binary... my guessing is
correct? Or, my guessing is incorrect and Mac OS X can
execute the binary executable for iPhone simulator
without simulator itself?

In addition to your environment variables for Apple SDKs location,
if you give 2 options, aslike,

	./configure --host=i686-apple-darwin10 --build=i686-apple-darwin

can configure recognize that you're trying cross building?
It seems that the argument for "--host=" must be same with
the prefix for the cross compiler, but the argument for
"--build=" is not critical to find the native compiler.

If passing same argument to "--host=" and "--build=",
it seems that configure may recognize as if the native
building is requested. So small difference between host
and build arguments would be expected. In above case,
I differenciated "i686-apple-darwin10" vs "i686-apple-darwin" (without 10).

I'm sorry that I cannot write step-by-step solution.
