Re: Cross compile glib for ARM

[Xyber Blue <xyberblue gmail com>]

Hi Mike,

I have experienced the same problem when I am also tring to cross
compile gtk and its dependencies...

I successfully did it through the following:

 Do not set the PATH first to your gtk prefix installation directory
(directory destination)

(/usr/local/arm/3.4.1/arm-linux/bin). When this is set, cross compiled
glib-genmarshall is detected which causes the error:
    >>/home/mike/embedded/GUI/glib-2.0.6/gobject/.libs/lt-glib-genmarshal:
    >>cannot execute binary file


1) Natively compile first the glib to the PC. If you already installed
it on your PC, It is   located in /usr/bin directory so no need to
compile it natively. Proceed to next step.
    The purpose of natively compiled first is cross compiling glib
uses it's own native
     compile "glib-genmarshall" and executes it. If the cross compiled
one is detected error
      will occur.

2) set PATH to your toolchain path

    export PATH={path-to-arm-toolchain}/bin:$PATH

3) Configure it like what you have done
     ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/arm/3.4.1/arm-linux --host=arm-linux

4) Issue a make command
    make
