Re: [gupnp] Problem linking with libuuid when cross-compiling GUPnp for ARM

[Sohail Desai <desaisohail gmail com>]

Yes you were right, the library did have object files for the i386 instead of the arm version. Fixed it by specifying the arm compiler for the CC variable during configuration. Thanks for your help and quick responses.

Sounds like a broken cross environment to me, Poky builds gupnp fine
too.

What does "file libuuid.so" produce on the cross-compiled libraries?  I
bet you have native packages in there...
