Re: [Ltib] Failure to build pkgconfig on LPC32xx Target

[Tim Nelson]

The version of LTIB I'm running was pulled from CVS not more than a week ago. I can try updating if needed, but it sounds like there hasn't been any changes to pkgconfig during this time...

Do you mean that every piece of software does *NOT* compile 100% cross platform without errors?!?  :-)

Thank you for the info, I'll have a look at the lpclinux site. Luckily, I'm not in dire need of pkgconfig at this point, but may in the future.

Hi Quentin & Tim,

 

I think Stuart said the pkgconfig package in LTIB was meant for the host system. That being said, it won’t easily cross compile

(and the errors I saw were related to cross compilation in the glb configure script used by pkgconfig).

 

You should update from CVS. It will get you the latest specs which will pull the latest patches. If you really don’t want to update,

you can pull full patches directly from ftp://ftp.lpclinux.com/ , but you’ll need to apply them to the source tree yourself.

 

As an FYI, not every package in the package menu will compile on an ARM platform. And some packages (ie, microwindows)

need some additional changes to work. This applies to any board.

 

thanks,

Kevin
