Andrew This is the problem that cross compiler is not linking with the math library. During plugin development, I have specified -lm (though it is also compiling without specifying -lm) and also when I am calling the plugin, I am specifying -lm to indicate the compiler that link the math library too. But, in my previous mail, as can be seen that the libraries searched do not include libmath.so file. This is what I don't understand that why it is not including the library.
