mercurial 3.1: cross compiling fails for arm linux hard float

[Prasant J]

Hi,

This is my first port to this forum. I hope this is the right forum to
post this.

I'm trying to cross compile mercurial for ARM linux (Freescale iMX6Q
Cortex A9 armv7).

I have edited the Makefile variable COMPILER to
"arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc". The cross compiling environment is also
set.


When I run make all, I see the following error:

python setup.py  build -c arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc
Couldn't import standard zlib (incomplete Python install).
make: *** [build] Error 1

Any idea what could be wrong?

Any place where I can read about cross compiling mercurial for arm-linux ?


I am able successfully cross compile autoconf based libraries but
stuck in mercurial. Any inputs will be of help to me.


Regards, Pj
