Cross compiling Mutt for ARM

[Latha Prabhu]

We want to use Mutt email client on Linux ARM processor. Is there any specific guidelines to cross compile?

I appreciate your suggestion.

Thanks,
Latha

I have compiled and use mutt directly on armv7l CPU:

***@ubuntu-phablet-bq:~$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu-phablet 3.4.67 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jun 6 12:04:40 UTC 2016 b75400e armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux
***@ubuntu-phablet-bq:~$ mutt -v
Mutt 1.5.23 (2014-03-12)
...

There was nothing unusual, just ./configure ...

Thank you very much for the immediate response. Could you please clarify whether you used S-Lang library or ncurses? I could cross  compile with ncurses but when I run on the terget system I get "Error opening terminal: vt100"Attached is mutt -v info.
Thanks,Latha

Please find attached the output of:

$ mutt -v
$ ldd mutt

Seems it is using ncurses.

Ah, the device in question is an Ubuntu Touch mobile phone BQ E4.5.
