Hello, I am trying to cross-compile Image Magick for an ARM platform. I just want to use the convert command to convert RGB files to JPEG file.
I have configured the sources with the typical ./configure command in order to build the right Makefiles. 6 years ago, a contributor to the mailing list advised to configure like this: ./configure CC=arm-linux-gcc CFLAGS="" CXX=arm-linux-g++ CXXFLAGS="" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/arm/2.95.3/arm-linux/lib" --without-x --host=arm --without-gs-font-dir --without-perl --without-zlib I have changed the CC and LDFALGS for adaptation to my Freescale cross chain. There happens that the project seems to compile properly but I got HUGE binary files. For example, the convert command is about 4.5 MB whereas it is very very smaller with shared libs on Ubuntu. I guess that shared libraries have not been used during the build! (the file command told me it is a bin with static libs) I am unable to instruct the configure process to use shared libraries. Is there a way of doing it? Do I have to build those shared libraries somewhere and from which sources? Moreover, I noticed that the command is not able to convert a rgb file to a jpeg file on the ARM whereas this works fine on the Ubuntu. Every rgb file is converted into a... rgb file this why I suspect some missing libraries not to be called without any warning from the app. My cross system bins are located here: fr...@franz-macbookpro:/opt/freescale/usr/local/gcc-4.1.2-glibc-2.5-nptl-3/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/bin$ ls -all total 7896 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-03-31 23:17 . drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 2010-03-31 23:17 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 465401 2007-05-09 20:27 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-addr2line -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 436451 2007-05-09 20:27 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ar -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 746982 2007-05-09 20:27 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-as -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 136447 2007-05-09 20:27 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-c++ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 464829 2007-05-09 20:27 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-c++filt -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 132718 2007-05-09 20:27 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-cpp -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 136447 2007-05-09 20:27 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++ -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 132335 2007-05-09 20:27 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 132335 2007-05-09 20:27 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc-4.1.2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16302 2007-05-09 20:25 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gccbug -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 27379 2007-05-09 20:27 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcov -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 526172 2007-05-09 20:27 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gprof -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 733879 2007-05-09 20:27 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ld -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 476345 2007-05-09 20:27 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-nm -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 621110 2007-05-09 20:27 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-objcopy -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 717557 2007-05-09 20:27 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-objdump -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 436451 2007-05-09 20:27 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ranlib -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 238367 2007-05-09 20:27 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-readelf -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 416980 2007-05-09 20:27 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-size -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 416428 2007-05-09 20:27 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-strings -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 621110 2007-05-09 20:27 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-strip I wonder whether the CXXFLAGS must be instructed with my g++ compiler bin or if gcc is smart enough to use g++ without this flag (the initial contributor to this list did not instruct this flag). Thanks for your help, Sure that it is the very first time I have been trying to cross-compile a project for my ARM evalboard without preparing the Makefile myself. Be indulgent! There must always be a first time. I am ready to give you more information if required to help cross-compile this project.
