Hi David Thanks for the info.
You have mentioned to set the CROSS_COMPILE_PREFIX to root. Does this apply for Windows environment too ? Montavista installs Cygwin and actual montavista lies in the directory "/opt/montavista". So should I set CROSS_COMPILE_PREFIX to "/" or "/opt/montavista" ? Regards Vidya. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 07, 2008 3:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: cross-compiling DirectFB and others Greetings, I've bounced this to both DirectFB Dev (which people trying to get it working on davinci should hop over to) and the davinci open source list. With the risk of sounding foolish, I admit that I've spent more and a few hours trying to cross compile DirectFB among other things for the montavista toolchain. Most answers to fix this involve setting all the LDFLAGS and such. I guess I should have read the docs better, because there is a variable referenced in all of the libtool .la files that makes this extremely easy: CROSS_COMPILE_PREFIX If you export this as your root filesystem path, cross compiles work just fine. This includes the frustrating "libtool picks up the wrong libs" issue. Again, this is probably common knowledge, but if I overlooked it then maybe some others did too. Regards, David DAVID A.
