Pango cross-compile failure (ARM)

[William To <meinreflection gmail com>]

Dear All,

First of all, I am new to the world of Pango and gtk-i18n, so excuse my lack of knowledge. 

This is a problem I am facing right now with pango-1.26.1 when cross-compiling to arm-hardfloat-linux-gnu:

> ./configure --host=$target --build=i386-linux --prefix=$PREFIX --exec_prefix=$EXEC_PREFIX --without-x \

--enable-debug=no \

LDFLAGS="-L$EXEC_PREFIX/lib" CFLAGS="-I$PREFIX/include"

> make

I tracked down to the source and it seems that a static assertion on the size of the USHORT/SHORT failed (too small or too large, I don't know) has failed and the build is stuck here. It is possible to remove the ASSERT_SIZE in the header file, but then it won't build either. 

Here are my environmental variables:

export CC_PATH=/opt/crosstool/gcc-4.3.2-glibc-2.6.1/hardfloat/arm-hardfloat-linux-gnu/bin

export COMPILER=$CC_PATH/arm-hardfloat-linux-gnu-gcc

export CC=$CC_PATH/arm-hardfloat-linux-gnu-gcc

export CPP=$CC_PATH/arm-hardfloat-linux-gnu-cpp

export CXX=$CC_PATH/arm-hardfloat-linux-gnu-g++

export AR=$CC_PATH/arm-hardfloat-linux-gnu-ar

export RANLIB=$CC_PATH/arm-hardfloat-linux-gnu-ranlib

export AS=$CC_PATH/arm-hardfloat-linux-gnu-as

export LD=$CC_PATH/arm-hardfloat-linux-gnu-ld

export NM=$CC_PATH/arm-hardfloat-linux-gnu-nm

export PREFIX=/home/william/1234/libraries/prefix/webapps/

export EXEC_PREFIX=/home/william/1234/libraries/mnt/webapps/

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig

I use the ubuntu gcc 4.3.2 compiler to build and there is no such problem. Previous versions of pango compiles normally with the same cross compiler. I wonder has anybody had hit the same problem as me.

Thanks very much and Best Regards
