how to cross-compile tshark and tools

[George Nychis <gnychis () gmail com>]

Hi all,

I am trying to cross-compile tshark for an arm system, but I am hitting an
issue I am not sure how to overcome.

I have added my gcc cross-compiler to my path, and configured my system as:
./configure -host=arm-eabi --disable-wireshark --with-pcap=no

I succeed in building several of the components, but whenever it comes down
to building the "epan" related components I hit the error that:
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/gnychis/Documents/wireshark/epan/dfilter'
../../tools/lemon/lemon t=./../../tools/lemon/lempar.c ./grammar.lemon || \
                (rm -f grammar.c grammar.h ; false)
/bin/bash: ../../tools/lemon/lemon: cannot execute binary file

Well, this is expected since lemon was built using my cross-compiler.

But, I am not sure what to do at this point.  I cannot use lemon since it is
not built for the host, but I could build lemon specifically for the host...
but would that create issues for when the target is on arm?

I'd greatly appreciate any feedback.

Thanks!
George
