Cross-compiling a build dependency ?

[vom513 <vom513%gmail.com@localhost>]

Hello all,

I might even be working my Subject: wrong…

So today I set up my first cross compile environment:

Host:	amd64 (VM)
Target:	sparc

Seems to be working, I have packages showing up in the *sparc* directory.

I notice that for build dependencies (I think that’s what these are…) - they are being built and installed natively - which I suppose makes sense.

What if I wanted to build one of those for my CC target though ?  Like - if I wanted to actually build perl5 for sparc ?  Is there some other options or arg that will tell pkgsrc to do this ?

Hopefully my question makes sense.  Thanks.
