cross compile PATH problem

[summer00]

1)
i have the cross-compile toolchain in /usr/local/tools/linux/arm/gcc-3.2.2/arm-linux/bin/gcc , now what i want to do is to compile a program with configure script, how do i set the path so that the computer will use the arm gcc(in the path i\'ve just mentioned) instead of the normal gcc ?

2)
is this the command to compile ?
./configure --host=arm-linux

thanks a lot

source dev-arm-OZ.sh
./configure --host=arm-linux

For my toolchain this is what I use in my dev-arm-OZ.sh script, adapt to suit your needs:

=======================================
#!/bin/bash

CC=arm-linux-gcc
CXX=arm-linux-g++
CCX=arm-linux-gcc
CXXX=arm-linux-g++
COMPILER=arm-linux-gcc
LINKER=arm-linux-g++
G77=arm-linux-g77
F77=arm-linux-g77

PATH=/usr/local/arm/3.3.2/bin:/usr/local/arm/3.3.2/arm-linux/bin:$PATH

PS1=\'!OZ-dev-armu@h:w$ \'

export PATH CC CXX CCX CXXX COMPILER LINKER G77 F77
echo \"Altered environment for OZ 3.3.2 Development\"

It changes the command prompt, it\'s not necessary (for everything to work) but it serves as a reminder that the particular terminal has this stuff sourced.
