| Not working on Pandora Works in Linux.
| This drive does not work on a Pandora. Not only does it fail to spin up, but it causes the Pandora's screen to pulsate wildly, much like an old CRT would if you placed a speaker or a magnet near to it. I have not yet tested this with a powered hub.

Hitnrun: /* Configure Scripts */

This is a placeholder for information about porting existing software to the Pandora.

== Build Environment ==
Ensure you have [[Setting up a cross-compiler|Set up your cross-compiler]].

== Configure Scripts ==
Much open source software comes with a ''configure'' script which can be used to customise the build. Running ''./configure --help'' will usually display all the available options. Most ''configure'' scripts have a ''--host'' option which can be used for cross compiling. The majority of the remaining options can be used to enable or disable features, or to specify where libraries and their headers are located.

This is an example of a ''configure'' command line:

./configure --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --prefix=$PNDSDK

== Makefiles ==
If the Makefile for your software aren't generated by a ''configure'' script, it may be necessary to alter parameters manually. Again, the main thing is making sure your cross-compiler is used instead of that on your PC. This is often achieved by setting variables such as CC, LD and similar.

== Helper Programs ==
Some software uses custom tools to aid in the build process. Usually these are built along with the main application itself and compiled as required. Of course, when cross-compiling, these helper programs cannot be run on the PC if they're being compiled for the Pandora. Some ''configure'' scripts are smart enough to allow a native compiler to be used for such programs. In other cases they may need to be built manually. This is easily achieved by compiling the package natively and copying the executables over to the cross-compile build directory.
