RE: How do I change the compiler for libssh to a cross-compiler?

[<Carl.Mohre@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I appreciate the couple of suggestions.  Nothing has worked so far.

To try a different path - is there a way to disable the ABI detection?  I get the following error:

"Detecting C compiler ABI info - failed"

I know my installation of the ARM toolchain is correct - I not only compiled a "Hello World", my application, spdlog, OpenSSL, and zlib - all with no issues.  But, in order to use libssh, I need to get passed this error.

The A.I. engines keep offering suggestions on disabling this check - but none have worked.

Please - any ideas would be much appreciated.

I only use Linux every 5th or 6th project - so I'm not very experienced with the more complex cmake files.

I'm simply trying to change the compiler your build system uses to the cross-compiler I need for my Enclustra SOM development kit.

Can you please help.

Thank you.
