Cross-Compiling using makefile

chandraevolute — Wed, 15 Jun 2016 11:26:35 GMT

We have one existing application source which uses Makefile which set the compiler with something like CC=$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc.

I have two variables in makefile CROSS_COMPILE and SYSROOT, i am setting these variables as shown below

# export ARCH=arm

# export CROSS_COMPILE=<path to cross compiler prefix> (e.g./opt/poky/1.5.1/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/ arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-)

#export SYSROOT=/opt/poky/1.8/sysroots/cortexa7hf-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi

# make clean

# make

If I give make I am getting the below error.

../../Outils/GLOG/GLOG/src/IniParser/dictionary.h:36:19: fatal error: stdio.h: No such file or directory

#include <stdio.h>

compilation terminated.

Later I checked whether sysroot is set or not by using this command

$ arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc -print-sysroot

And it gave output /not/exist it means sysroot is not set

So I have added --sysroot to my CFLAGS in Makefile and gave make

It gave the below errors

.o's are getting generated, but it is throwing error when it is trying to generate library

I don't have any other way to compile other than using Makefile. Because the project has so many source files in different folders.

Can anyone suggest where I am going wrong.

Hello,

First, environment should be set, and under this environment
makefile may be run. The following helps to setup the environment :

cannot find crt1.o

Have a great day,
Yuri

Hi ,

I followed the same steps still i am geeting the same issue.

I need to know one thing where the shared libraries will be present

Say like I am compiling a .c file $CC main.c -lpthread, from where the -lpthread reference is getting?? Where the -lpthread in arm-poky

Hi Yuri I solved above issue by changing the --sysroot path and now I am getting new error

what does this mean

What might be the wrong??

I found that the problem is with the dynamically linked libraries. If i use static libraries the application is compiling perfectly.

If i generate my own shared libraray and use it to compile a application then it is giving the below error

Hi I solved my self. I changed the library path and sysroot path then it started working,

--sysroot=/home/fsl-release-bsp/build_image/tmp/sysroots/imx6ulevk

LIBPATH += -L/home/fsl-release-bsp/build_image/tmp/sysroots/imx6ulevk/usr/lib
