The gst core failed when cross compile
Last modified: 2009-04-03 19:10:50 UTC
I tried to cross compile gst-core in my os CLFS-1.1.0. But it failed with a error showing below: ../libtool: eval: line 950: syntax error near unexpected token `|' ../libtool: eval: line 950: `link -dump -symbols .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gst.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstobject.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstbin.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstbuffer.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstbus.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstcaps.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstchildproxy.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstclock.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstdebugutils.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstelement.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstelementfactory.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gsterror.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstevent.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstfilter.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstformat.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstghostpad.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstindex.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstindexfactory.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstinfo.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstinterface.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstiterator.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstmessage.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstminiobject.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstpad.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstpadtemplate.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstparamspecs.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstpipeline.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstplugin.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstpluginfeature.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstpoll.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstpreset.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstquark.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstquery.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstregistry.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstsegment.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gststructure.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstsystemclock.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gsttaglist.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gsttagsetter.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gsttask.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gsttrace.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gsttypefind.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gsttypefindfactory.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gsturi.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstutils.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstvalue.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstparse.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstregistrybinary.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstxml.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstenumtypes.o .libs/libgstreamer_0.10_la-gstmarshal.o parse/.libs/libgstparse.a | | /bin/sed 's/.* //' | sort | uniq > .libs/libgstreamer-0.10.exp' make[4]: *** [libgstreamer-0.10.la] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/mnt/source/bak/clfs/mnt/clfs/cblfs/gstreamer/gstreamer-0.10.22/gst' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/mnt/source/bak/clfs/mnt/clfs/cblfs/gstreamer/gstreamer-0.10.22/gst' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/source/bak/clfs/mnt/clfs/cblfs/gstreamer/gstreamer-0.10.22/gst' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/source/bak/clfs/mnt/clfs/cblfs/gstreamer/gstreamer-0.10.22' make: *** [all] Error 2 I searched on the internet. Someone suggested to change libtool to libtool-1.5.8. After changing the libtool to version 1.5.8, this failure came again. And this failure only comes when I build for 32-bit, build of the 64-bit succeded with all the 3 versions(1.5.8, 1.5.26, 2.2.6a) of libtool I have tried. Is this a real bug of libtool or something else? This is the instructions I used : CC="gcc -m32" USE_ARCH=32 \ PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/X11R7/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/xfce/lib/pkgconfig" \ ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu && make Best Regards
It's a libtool bug. Easiest workaround I've found is to set NM in your environment prior to running configure. (That might not be all. Let me know if it doesn't work.)

I changed the instruction to this: CC="gcc -m32" USE_ARCH=32 \ PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/X11R7/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/xfce/lib/pkgconfig" NM="nm" \ ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu && make (Is this right?) whatever, the build has succeeded, and the test suit passed too. David, thanks a lot. This problem has tortured me for a week. Another question, if the NM is specified, do we still need to change the libtool version? Best Regards
I doubt it. If you're compiling from a tar.gz release, upgrading libtool doesn't actually affect the build. Unless you run autogen.sh, which you shouldn't unless compiling from git.
