Hello all, I am cross-compiling fontconfig on a x86_64 development platform for running on a x86 platform. I have a basic cross compiler setup up which works properly, but nothing much else (no chroot/fakeroot/scratchbox approach). libreetype, libexpat and libz are already properly cross-compiled and tested on the target without too much trouble. They each sit in their own {freetype,expat,zlib}/sysroot directory. I configure fontconfig as follows: ./configure --host=i686-pc-linux --prefix=/usr \ CPPFLAGS="-I`pwd`/../../freetype/sysroot/usr/include -I`pwd`/../../expat/sysroot/usr/include" \ CFLAGS="-I`pwd`/../../freetype/sysroot/usr/include -I`pwd`/../../expat/sysroot/usr/include" \ LDFLAGS="-L`pwd`/../../expat/sysroot/usr/lib -L`pwd`/../../freetype/sysroot/usr/lib -L`pwd`/../../zlib/sysroot/usr/lib" \ -with-freetype-config="../../freetype/sysroot/usr/bin/freetype-config" Subsequent make runs well through the compilation stage, but fails on linking (see output below). Obviously, configure (or the generated libtool) picks op the development host shared library directories and the wrong freetype lib is linked against, then it fails. I have tried several overrides, but cannot succeed in getting fontconfig to build (other than doing everything manual). How must I tell fontconfig's configure where my libraries are, such that libtool these only? Thanks and regards, Leon Woestenberg.
