+ Cross-compilation
+ -----------------
+ When cross-compiling with numpy distutils, it might be necessary to
+ use modified npy-pkg-config files. Using the default/generated files
+ will link with the host libraries (i.e. libnpymath.a). For
+ cross-compilation you of-course need to link with target libraries,
+ while using the host Python installation.
+
+ You can copy out the numpy/core/lib/npy-pkg-config directory, add a
+ pkgdir value to the .ini files and set NPY_PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment
+ variable to point to the directory with the modified npy-pkg-config
+ files.
