CodeSourceryCompiler + sqlite3autoconfig

Hello!

I need to compile sqlite3 for ARM arch. and then compile .cpp linking the
library.
I am using arm-none-linux-gnueabi from CodeSourcery IA32 GNU/Linux TAR file
on 32x Ubuntu. 
After setting command ./configure --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi
--target=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --prefix="PATH" and executing make and make
install I get libsqlite3.so.0.8.6 dynamically linked library and 'file'
command shows it's based on Interl arch. 

If anybody had experience or knows the decision, post a message!

--prefix=="PATH"

What does "PATH" mean?  And where do set the PATH?

Are you typing these commands or running a script?

oops --prefix="PATH", do you mean =/path/to/the/cross-compiler/bin

You should tell configure you want to cross compile:

--host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --build=i686-host-linux-gnu

replace "i686-host-linux-gnu" with the string of your development host. Do
not forget to add the cross compiler path to your $PATH variable.

Juergen,

I understand that 'host' is a machine on which code must be compiled and
'target' is a machine for which code must be compiled. In 'build' there is
set a type of a machine the package will run on. If 'host' is set then it
declares that compiler will be built for different type of machine than
it's used on at the moment. But what does 'target' stand for then?
after execution of 'uname -a' there is 
Linux razvoj-linux-virtual 2.6.32-38-generic #83-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 4
11:13:04 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux on the screen. 
As I understand, I should set --built==i686-razvoj-linux-virtual-linux-gnu
?

I set 
./configure --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --build=i686-spica-linux-gnu
--prefix='PATH_TO_DIR'
But file command on library still shows Intel arch.
When ./configure started, there are lines copied here below, there is
checking on arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc with 'no', that should be a mistake.
I set PATH variable and checked compiler on workability.

'configure' cannot find your cross-compiler, that's all:

[...]
checking for arm-none-linux-gnueabi-strip... no
[...]
checking for arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc... no
[...]

And due to this it falls back to native compile:
[...]
checking for gcc... gcc
[...]

Let 'configure' find your compiler and it will do the correct things.

When I ask 
which arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++ or arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc
it shows a right path and I compiled a programm on it.
But what is the reason that configure cannot find it?

Here it looks different. Please compare with your run:

How can I build statically linked library?

run "configure --help" for more options

It should start without sudo prepended command before configuration as well
as before make and make install. 
./libtool has PATH modifications in its script.
I suppose that this is the reason why I could not perfrom make command.
For static librarie it's used --enable-static=yes(by default also) and
--enable-shared=no.

configure --help :)
