Cross Compiling GTK+ on x86 for ARM

["Eade, Sean (SCR US)" <sean.eade@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

 

I am trying to cross compile the GTK+ libraries with DirectFB and all of its dependent libraries on a Linux machine with the x86 architecture for an ARM board.

I am using the cross toolchain gcc-3.3.4-glibc-2.3.2.

 

I just can't seem to get the process to work completely from start to end.

My first question is - has anyone completed this process successfully and have it documented somewhere that I can take a look at?

 

Second - the main issue I have come across that is a currently a road block for me is the following:

 

When I try to install the ATK libraries after I have made the GLIB libraries I get the following error:

 

glib-genmarshal: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/TS7390GTKfb/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0: ELF file OS ABI invalid

This tells me that the host version of glib-genmarshal can’t read the libglib that I just built because its for the target.
So I set the PATH to the glib-genmarshal that was built while cross-compiling glib but the host can’t run that program because the binary is from ARM (my target board).

From the web the only solution I can find is to unset the LD_LIBRARY_PATH while making ATK - but that seems wrong to me because ATK would then pick up the host version of GLIB, not newly built target version - and also without having LD_LIBRAY_PATH set to the lib of my development area - $PREFIX/lib - the make doesn’t know where to pick up the other libraries - in my case libfusion.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I can only imagine that most would come across this if following the same procedure.
Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Sean.
