[Qt-interest] Help needed. Trying to build Qt 4.7.0 for Debian on ARM processor.

[skeezix]

	Its looking for arm-linux-gcc (and friends) - a native or cross 
compiler; presumably thats a cross compiler (otherwise it would just be 
called 'gcc'), so you're building on x86 and targeting ARM, but you've not 
actually installed the ARM crosscompielr build of gcc.

	You'll probably have to find one, such as using CodeSourcery 
builds. (or else change your build to use anotehr cross compiler that you 
have, or build it on the device itself with a native regualr gcc 
installed.)

# Is the error messaging due to above settings. What do I do to solve the error?
# 
# Also can I build for 'arm' target on my 'intel' based pc?
