Hello, I am cross-compiling gtk+ for mips processor. That's why I have to compile fontconfig also. Expat and freetype are there, they compiled using mipsel-linux-gcc smoothly. But now these libraries are not found during linking of fontconfig. Version: fontconfig-2.2.99 freetype-2.1.9 expat-1.95.8 make ... /opt/emlix/netdcu6/bin/mipsel-linux-gcc -g -g -O2 -o .libs/fc-cache fc-cache.o -L/home/albrecht.ellinger/gtkUpdate/mipsel/freetype/execPrefix/lib ../src/.libs/libfontconfig.so -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/home/albrecht.ellinger/gtkUpdate/mipsel/fontconfig/execPrefix/lib /opt/emlix/netdcu6/bin/mipsel-linux-ld: warning: libfreetype.so.6, needed by ../src/.libs/libfontconfig.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) /opt/emlix/netdcu6/bin/mipsel-linux-ld: warning: libexpat.so.0, needed by ../src/.libs/libfontconfig.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) ... configure settings are: CC="/opt/emlix/netdcu6/bin/mipsel-linux-gcc -g" ./configure --prefix=/home/albrecht.ellinger/gtkUpdate/mipsel/fontconfig/prefix --exec-prefix=/home/albrecht.ellinger/gtkUpdate/mipsel/fontconfig/execPr efix --cache-file=mipsel.cache --host=mipsel-linux --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --with-freetype-config=/home/albrecht.ellinger/gtkUpdate/mipsel/ freetype/execPrefix/bin/freetype-config --with-expat-includes=/home/albrecht.ellinger/gtkUpdate/mipsel/expat/pre fix/include --with-expat-lib=/home/albrecht.ellinger/gtkUpdate/mipsel/expat/execPref ix/lib I set the environment variables LD_RUN_PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH PKG_CONFIG_PATH accordingly. I also had the linker option through the compiler by CC="/opt/emlix/netdcu6/bin/mipsel-linux-gcc -g -Wl,-rpath=/home/albrecht.ellinger/gtkUpdate/mipsel/expat/execPrefix/lib " but still it did not work. Which option is missing for the linker to find these libraries?
