[pygtk] Trouble while cross compiling PyGTK to ARM Processors

[Nalli Dinesh]

Harish,

Weclome to pygtk group of geeks.

If configure is trying to run python and pkgconfig, why can't you provide
ARM version of these libraries?

Just checking!!! Secondly you are running configure script to generate
appropriate Makefile to run Make to cross compile pygtk package for arm. I
think may be you might already have Makefile generating for other cross
compiling libraries, try to use that Makefile and make changes to it to
cross compile pygtk?

Let me know if you need  generic Makefile.
