I instaled Debian on my DM8000 (Barry Alan option).

I'm trying to compile wxGTK-2.8.9 on Debian. This package is required to amule compilation.

I started wxGTK-2.8.9 configuration with command:

./configure --prefix=/usr/bin --with-gtk --enable-unicode --enable-optimise --disable-gui --build=mipsel && make

but it gives me error answer:
configure: error: unknown system type mipsel-unknown-elf.

What did I make wrong? What kind of build type should I take? As I read both of those packages are platform independent.

Also when I tried to compile MLdonkey (follow by this instruction ) I meet the same error after:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sv.gnu.org:/sources/mldonkey co -P mldonkey
cd mldonkey
#./configure #without -build=mipsel it wont start to configure
./configure  -build=mipsel

execution
