[ELDK] FW: HOW TO crosscompile Wireshark for embedded linux on v5fxt ppc_44x??

[H Aslam]

Ok..

Downloaded source files from wireshark.org and working in the folder!


yum install flex

yum install bison


export CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-

PATH=$PATH:/opt/eldk/usr/bin:/opt/eldk/bin

PATH=/opt/eldk/usr/ppc-linux/bin:$PATH

As I can see from the .spec file from libuser it looks like I have to do following:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${RUNTIME_PREFIX}/%{_targetpath}/%{_libdir}/pkgconfig

export GLIB_CFLAGS="-I${RUNTIME_PREFIX}/%{_targetpath}/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I${RUNTIME_PREFIX}/%{_targetpath}/%{_libdir}/glib-2.0/include/"

export GMODULE_CFLAGS=$GLIB_CFLAGS

export GOBJECT_CFLAGS=$GLIB_CFLAGS


Which I assume has to be typed as follows:


export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${RUNTIME_PREFIX}/opt/eldk/ppc_4xx/usr/lib/pkgconfig

export GLIB_CFLAGS="-I${RUNTIME_PREFIX}/opt/eldk/ppc_4xx/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I${RUNTIME_PREFIX}/opt/eldk/ppc_4xx/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include/"

export GMODULE_CFLAGS=$GLIB_CFLAGS

export GOBJECT_CFLAGS=$GLIB_CFLAGS


configure script is still giving the same error:

./configure --target=ppc-linux --host=ppc-linux --disable-wireshark --disable-editcap --disable-capinfos --disable-mergecap --disable-text2pcap --disable-idl2wrs --disable-dftest --disable-randpkt --disable-rawshark

checking for pkg-config... no
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** A new enough version of pkg-config was not found.
*** See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/
configure: error: GLib2 distribution not found.

To be honest I'm really lost now! Do I have to install some native programs also?
