Description Meng Sun 2008-09-12 12:44:48 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
1. a package called 'check' is needed while compiling but cross-compile 'check' has different library output.
2. 
3.

What is the problem?
Does configure fail? -> attach config.log
Does the build fail? -> paste the last part of the output

no unit tests if we cross compile

"make check" would not work anyway if one cross compiles.
Comment 3 Stefan Sauer (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev) 2008-09-15 14:31:15 UTC 
Forgot to mention, the patch also remove the FLAGS output, which is inconsistent with other checks.
Comment 4 Stefan Sauer (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev) 2008-09-15 15:18:11 UTC 
As decided on irc.

	* configure.ac:
	  Do not probe availability of check unit test library when cross
	  compiling, as test would not work anyway. Also cleanup verbose output
	  of the check test. Fixes #551952.
Comment 5 David Schleef 2008-09-15 22:19:02 UTC 
Just because you're cross compiling doesn't mean you can't run the resulting binaries.  IMO, the correct fix for this is to use pkgconfig to find check.  Unfortunately, the output of 'pkg-config --libs check' still needs a s/check/check_pic/.
Comment 6 Stefan Sauer (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev) 2008-09-16 07:10:58 UTC 
Yeah, e.g. with qemu you could. I will file a bug against check regarding the -pic issue.
