Re: Newbie ->cross compile GTK for ARM - ./configure problems - LDnot finding libc library

["Clive Chapman" <anbeyon btinternet com>]

Hi Antonio

I have been looking at the scratchbox solution - It does seem like a really 
good solution.

The only thing is I already have a LINUXdistribution and set of compiler 
tools for the hardware I'm using.  It just generating the required GTK 
libraries I'm struggling with.

You asked if I had a problem;

see the snippert below ;

> configure:2852: /usr/local/arm/3.3.2/bin/arm-linux-gcc conftest.c >&5
> /usr/local/arm/3.3.2/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/3.3.2/../../../../arm-linux/bin/ld: 
> cannot find /usr/local/arm-linux/lib/libc.so.6

it says it can't find a library file - I have checked that path and it is 
there

Is it telling me it can't find a library in order for LD to run or it can;t 
find the lib it needs to link to in order to compile the test application ?

I am invoking configure as below;

./configure CC=/usr/local/arm/3.3.2/bin/arm-linux-gcc --host=arm-linux
--build=i686-linux
--prefix=/home/anbeyon/Documents/Projects/Chord/Pandora4/Software/GTK/GTKBuild/glib 
--libdir=/usr/local/arm/3.3.2/arm-linux/lib
--includedir=/usr/local/arm/3.3.2/arm-linux/include

does that seem right or should I be using some other set of configure 
options ?

Thanks

Clive

Hi Clive,

I suggest you another way to perform cross compile in general using
apropiated cross compilation  tools (or toolchains). One of the best
is the scratchbox <www.scractchbox.org>. Using it , you can compile
your source to any target you want. A debian-based rootstrap is also
available at this web site (Rootstrap is a FS). There many tutorials
around the net, and many many users around the world (like me), and
mail lists.

In your case, you'd create a arm target, unpack the debian FS and
install it, and then the perform the cross compilation in transparent
way, using the benefits of debian dev tools (like apt-get) to speed
the process.

regards

BTW, I didn't see any troubles in your current process ?! Are you
getting errros ?!
