Hi Antonio
I have been looking at the scratchbox solution - It does seem like a really good solution.
The only thing is I already have a LINUXdistribution and set of compiler tools for the hardware I'm using. It just generating the required GTK libraries I'm struggling with.
You asked if I had a problem;
see the snippert below ;
configure:2852: /usr/local/arm/3.3.2/bin/arm-linux-gcc conftest.c >&5
/usr/local/arm/3.3.2/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/3.3.2/../../../../arm-linux/bin/ld: cannot find /usr/local/arm-linux/lib/libc.so.6
it says it can't find a library file - I have checked that path and it is there
Is it telling me it can't find a library in order for LD to run or it can;t find the lib it needs to link to in order to compile the test application ?
I am invoking configure as below;
./configure CC=/usr/local/arm/3.3.2/bin/arm-linux-gcc --host=arm-linux
--build=i686-linux
--prefix=/home/anbeyon/Documents/Projects/Chord/Pandora4/Software/GTK/GTKBuild/glib --libdir=/usr/local/arm/3.3.2/arm-linux/lib
--includedir=/usr/local/arm/3.3.2/arm-linux/include
does that seem right or should I be using some other set of configure options ?
Thanks
Clive

Hi Clive,
I suggest you another way to perform cross compile in general using apropiated cross compilation tools (or toolchains). One of the best is the scratchbox <www.scractchbox.org>. Using it , you can compile your source to any target you want. A debian-based rootstrap is also available at this web site (Rootstrap is a FS). There many tutorials around the net, and many many users around the world (like me), and mail lists.
In your case, you'd create a arm target, unpack the debian FS and install it, and then the perform the cross compilation in transparent way, using the benefits of debian dev tools (like apt-get) to speed the process.
regards
BTW, I didn't see any troubles in your current process ?! Are you getting errros ?!

Hi
I want to cross compile GTK and all of the associated libraries so that I can use them on an ARM based embedded target.
I am currently trying to cross compile the glib library and I am having some
problems. I've obviously not got something quite right.
Any pointers you might be able to give would be great!
I have downloaded all of the libraries and have them unpacked into sub directores of;
/home/anbeyon/Documents/Projects/Chord/Pandora4/Software/GTK/glib-2.6.4
if in a terminal window list all sub-dirs I get
. Archives atk-1.9.0 gtk+-2.6.7 libpng-1.2.8 pkgconfig-0.15.0 .. GTKBuild glib-2.6.4 jpeg-6b pango-1.8.0 tiff-3.7.2
Archives is where I have all of the original .GZ etc... files. GTKBuild is
where I plan to build the compiled libs to. Each set of libs is to be built
into a subdirectory of GTKBuild. i.e. glib is to reside
in ..../GTKBuild/glib
I have the GNU target compiler installed in /usr/local/arm/3.3.2
I am currently trying to compile glib;
from the command line I change directory to
/home/anbeyon/Documents/Projects/Chord/Pandora4/Software/GTK/glib-2.6.4/glib- 2.6.4 and invoke ./configure as below;
./configure CC=/usr/local/arm/3.3.2/bin/arm-linux-gcc --host=arm-linux --build=i686-linux --prefix=/home/anbeyon/Documents/Projects/Chord/Pandora4/Software/GTK/GTKBuil d/glib --libdir=/usr/local/arm/3.3.2/arm-linux/lib --includedir=/usr/local/arm/3.3.2/arm-linux/include
Does that look correct ? Have I made any errors ?
I get the following in my terminal;
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for arm-linux-strip... no checking for strip... strip checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... arm-unknown-linux-gnu checking for native Win32... no checking for arm-linux-gcc... /usr/local/arm/3.3.2/bin/arm-linux-gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details.
If I then examine config.log part way through I get the following message; ( see the line starting >>>>>)

>>>>/bin/ld: cannot find /usr/local/arm-linux/lib/libc.so.6<<<<<
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure:2855: $? = 1 configure: failed program was:
The linker cannot find the library. It doesn't seem to be looking
in the right place for the libc.so.6 file. It's not looking where I specify
them using --libdir when configure is invoked.
I have checked the Arm compiler lib path I specified in the command line and
libc.so.6 is there. (/usr/local/arm/3.3.2/arm-linux/lib)
Are you able to help me please ?
