Hi all, sorry if this is noob.

I have an Astra RFID reader and I'm trying to compile the libcurl libraries
for use on the device. It uses the arm-linux-gcc compiler, snapgear-3.0.0
files and has a Intel IXDP425 chip in it. I'm not sure which of those
details are relevant.

I made a configure script similar to the one found in
/curl-7.19.3/docs/INSTALL . The script is as follows:
#! /bin/sh

   export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
# export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/hardhat/devkit/ppc/405/target/usr/include"
   export AR=arm-linux-ar
   export AS=arm-linux-as
   export LD=arm-linux-ld
   export RANLIB=arm-linux-ranlib
   export CC=arm-linux-gcc
   export NM=arm-linux-nm

   ./configure --target=arm-linux \
    --host=arm-linux-linux \
    --build=i586-pc-linux-gnu \
    --prefix=/usr/local/arm-linux/lib-independent \
    --exec-prefix=/usr/local/

When I run the script the configure has an error as follows:
$ ./make4ARM.sh checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of
Makefiles... no
checking whether to enable debug build options... no
checking whether to enable compiler optimizer... not specified (assuming
yes)

See `config.log' for more details.

finally the config.log is appended to the end of this mail.

Please let me know if more info is required or if you know how to deal with
this.
TIA,
