Pango Installation Issues

["Pradeep Chimakurthy" <pchimakurthy gmail com>]

Hello,

      I have been trying to cross-compile pango using the below configure options:

 

./configure CC=xtensa_linux_le-gcc CFLAGS=' -g -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes'  STRIP=xtensa_linux_le-strip LD=xtensa_linux_le-ld  AR=xtensa_linux_le-ar AS=xtensa_linux_le-as CXX=xtensa_linux_le-g++ CPP=xtensa_linux_le-cpp RANLIB=xtensa_linux_le-ranlib --prefix=/home/pradeep/pango/pango LDFLAGS='-nostdlib' CPPFLAGS='-I /home/pradeep/glib/glib/include -I /tools/montavista/montavista/pro/devkit/xtensa/linux_le/target/usr/include -I /tools/montavista/montavista/pro/devkit/xtensa/linux_le/target/usr/include/freetype2 ' --with-x=no --with-dynamic-modules="basic-fc,indic-fc,indic-lang" --host=xtensa-linux

 

However it keeps failing with the below error message when it tries to use libexpat.so as it tries to use the one it finds in /usr/lib. I tried tracing as to see if I could fix it but could not find any reference in the top files to expat except for a [.la] file created in the harfbuzz directory. I tried changing the library path in it but it would not work.

it fails while creating

 

libpangoft2-1.0.la  

 

It seemed to be coming from the fontconfig dependency on expat. On searching online, I found some information saying that this information is put into one of the libtool [.la] files but not much else.  Could anybody help me with this issue ?

 

Thank you very much.
