RE: gtk cross compilation

["Shyjumon N." <shyjumon n ttec soc-soft com>]

Hi Steve,

            Actually last week I cross compile gtk-directfb for ARM, you won’t get x11 lib in arm targets, they have only difectfb support, so you need to cross compile gtk-directfb and also refer your root file system and find out whether there is support for gtk-directfb.

And when your cross compiling gtk-directfb, you have to do a lot of changes in configure file and Makefile, the files coming with packages need to be edited.

 

With regds,

Hello,

 

I am trying to do the exact same thing -- cross-compile GTK+-2.10.6 for arm-linux.

 

"./configure --host=arm-linux" gets pretty far then stops with:

 

 

checking for TIFFFlushData in -ltiff34... no
configure: WARNING: *** TIFF loader will not be built (TIFF library not found) ***
configure: error:
*** Checks for TIFF loader failed. You can build without it by passing
*** --without-libtiff to configure but some programs using GTK+ may
*** not work properly

 

So I tried it with --without-libtiff and it complained about JPEG lib.  So added --without-libjpeg and it is saying

 

checking for XOpenDisplay... no
configure: error: *** libX11 not found.

 

The config.log indicated that the libX11.a (and the libX11.so) it found were incompatible (for ARM).  Are there X11 libs out there for ARM?

 

Has anybody gotten GTK+-2 to cross-compile for arm-linux?

 

 I haven't had a chance to look at your tool Sergei - does it do this type of thing?

 

TIA,

Steve

???

Of course, everything should be compiled for ARM, then linked. How else ?
