Hello,

is it possible to install swish-e on a Linux machine without gcc  
(machine A), by compiling the source on a machine that has gcc  
(machine B) and copying the shared libraries, binaries, etc. over to  
machine A?

If so, what is the cleanest and safest way of doing this?

I have tried tarring up the src directory on machine B, untarring it  
on machine B and doing a 'make install', but to no avail because the  
Makefile keeps asking for gcc:

Making install in src
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/swish-e-2.4.3/src'
Making install in expat
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/swish-e-2.4.3/src/expat'
if /bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -

MP -MF ".deps/xmltok.Tpo" \
   -c -o xmltok.lo `test -f 'xmltok.c' || echo './'`xmltok.c; \
then mv -f ".deps/xmltok.Tpo" ".deps/xmltok.Plo"; \
else rm -f ".deps/xmltok.Tpo"; exit 1; \
fi

Many thanks.
