I suspect that the wrong "-L" flags somehow got into the `libgojbect-2.0.la' file in your OpenWRT staging area, because I've seen this happen elsewhere-- in other projects; though, I followed through the same instructions, here, as you did, and didn't see this error in my build. I *did* see some other errors where packages building via the OpenWRT system didn't specify something (e.g. libSM) as a dependency (because it wasn't needed), and so that auxiliary library wasn't in the OpenWRT staging area, but the build-system managed to find the *headers* installed in my *host* system--and then decided to try to use the non-existent library in the staging area. I'm not sure what's going wrong with your build, or where specifically (though I would gess that the failure in pango is just `collateral damage'); I suppose it's possible that you have *something* in your host environment that's `leaking' into the build of GObject, in a way perhaps vaguely similar to what I'm experiencing, though I'm not sure what. Take this all with a grain of salt, I guess--I don't want to send you down the wrong path.... Do you, perhaps, have LDFLAGS set in your shell? Or maybe some optional library that GLib/GObject autoprobes during ./configure (LDFLAGS in libtool `.la' archives ca be somewhat `contagious', if a cross-built library specifies a subordinate library that is found in the host environment rather than the cross-build environment...). Did you install or remove and "-dev" packages in Debian while your OpenWRT build was underway? I'm on Debian 6.0 also, BTW; I fixed my `environment-leakage' problem by removing a bunch of `-dev' packages from my Debian host system until I was finished building OpenWRT. It meant that I couldn't work on my other projects like FoxtrotGPS until OpenWRT finished building, but..., eh. -- "Don't be afraid to ask (λf.((λx.xx) (λr.f(rr))))." _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
