I tried to build qt 4.6.3 with eldk environment for arm. Fist time the build failed with missing endian parameter error. So I was not sure if I should use -big-endian or -little-endian. The primary target is Kindle DXg that has ARM11 architecture (ARM1136JF-S). Apparently it supports both endians depends on how the processor is connected. Does anyone know how it is done on Kindle?

Edit:
I have got the answer, it is little-endian, but it seems better to use -xplatform option with configure and it will take care of the endian option. Example that was given to me on the-ebook.org forum:

Code:

./configure -embedded arm -xplatform qws/linux-arm-g++ -opensource -prefix /opt/qt4ARM -nomake examples -nomake demos
