[gnugo-devel] Cross-Compiling works [was RE: gnu go for ArmLinux]

[brian lee dae yung]

Hello, the below method was successful, as i was able to compile.  i
transfered the binary to my Yopy and ran gnugo --help and got an
appropriate response.  i am now working on compiling cgoban [anyone
know the size of data types and endianness of arm linux, give a
holler].

thanks for the help, brian .
