[webkit-help] Cross-compiling webkit for ARM platform on Linux-x86 machine

[Jilu Oommen]

Hi Gabor,

Thanks for all your help.

Currently my problem is that for crosscompiling Webkit-Qt port for ARM, 
instead of *g++*
 I want to compile the files using '*arm-softfloat-linux-gnu-g++'*

I tried changing the defines for CXX in all makefiles manually, but 
still I can see that when I invoke
build-webkit --qt, still the *g++ *comand is getting invoked instead of 
*arm-softfloat-linux-gnu-g++*

Can you please suggest as to where do I have to change in the Makefiles,
or is it possible to give this as argument to build-webkit

Awaiting your reply,

Thanks in advance,
Jil
