unable to make libglib12. error about missing libglib12.so

Hi all,

I am trying to make libglib12 and it ends with error about missing
libglib.so in buildroot/build_arm/staging_dir/lib/. When i searched in this firectory i had
root at box124:~/project/original/bldrt/buildroot# ls -la build_arm/staging_dir/lib/libglib.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 596464 Aug 22 11:58 build_arm/staging_dir/lib/libglib.a
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 593 Aug 22 11:58
build_arm/staging_dir/lib/libglib.la

Kindly help me to resolve the same. I tried editing libglib12.mk file but failed.

Hi,

when compilling libglib12, configure output says

<snip>
<snip>
<snip>

checking for /opt/arm-uclinux/usr/bin/arm-linux-uclibcgnueabi-ld -L/opt/arm-uclinux/lib -L/opt/arm-uclinux/usr/lib --sysroot=/opt/arm-uclinux/ option to reload object files... -r checking dynamic linker characteristics... no
checking if libtool supports shared libraries... no checking whether to build shared libraries... no checking whether to build static libraries... yes checking for objdir... .libs
creating libtool
<snip>
<snip>
<snip>

In ltconfig file, host_os is taken as arm_linux. I placed an echo for host_os at line 1793 in ltconfig file.

echo $ac_n "checking dynamic linker characteristics... for host $host_os $ac_c" 1>&6
case "$host_os" in

Here it checks for Dynamic linking characteristics of this os (arm-linux)
and hence it fails the test. So it cannot build shared libraries.

Can anyone shed some light on this.

Should i add
host_os=linux-uclibc

or

linux-uclibc*)
arm-linux*) ----> add this line. is this correct

Thanks in advance
