Re: Cross-compiling glib for arm

[Clive Chapman <anbeyon btinternet com>]

Hi Carlo

When you did a Make after you did the ./configure did you get any errors ?

I get;

giounix.c:185: error: `SSIZE_MAX' undeclared (first use in this function)

I did find an old posting for glib 2.0.0 that suggested the way to correct it 
was to add 

 #define _POSIX_SOURCE

to the giounix.c file.

I am compiling glib 2.6.4 and I am having the same problem but the  
#define _POSIX_SOURCE is already in giounix.c

I did find another posting that suggested I should just delete the two 
offending lines of code.    (For the time being I have done that just to see 
what happened..... Make then works and I get no other problems - also Make 
install works)

You seemed to get pango and ATK etc.... compiled and working quickly - did you 
not have any other problems ?

Any ideas ?

Clive
