Hi All,
       Sorry for my late response. I had no access to my emails for some
days..
I have now stopped working on this platform for various reasons and
hence will not be able to PUSH minicom into my embedded systems!!
Thanks for all the support...
Regards,
Rajiv.R

I guess not many have tried it. Something like this could work:

./configure --host=3Darm-linux

This works for me until linking as I do not have libncurses on my build
system right now.

On the other side you could just take a prebuild version from Debian, if
you can fullfil the dependencies (glibc, ncurses). Get
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/minicom/minicom_2.1-8_arm.de
b
extract it with "ar x minicom_2.1-8_arm.deb", and then tar xzvf
data.tar.gz, the usr directory then will contain the binary.
