Cross-compile Libs, Libjpeg In Particular, problems with libtool Options

[matthis]

Dear devs, I'd be happy if someone could give me a hand with this. I've spent too many hours without success and I'm starting to be depressed

Here is my problem. I've been trying to cross-compile libjeg so that I can cross-compile programs that need it. I need shared libs to I configured with --enable-shared

When trying to make, it complained that it couldn't find libtool, so I copied it from /usr/bin/libtool to ./
Then it complained that libtool couldn't find the proper tags so I added --tag=$(CC), with $(CC) pointing to arm-linux-gcc

But then when making, towards the end it uses gcc instead of arm-linux-gcc, and /usr/bin/ld instead of arm-linux-ld although I specified LD=arm-linux-ld at configure.

So, how to use libtool correctly??

If no one knows whats going on, a tarball of cross-compiled libjpeg libs/headers would also make me happy

Thanks!
