Re: Buildroot ARM toolchain build Error: libexpat
Another update.
I noticed that the error I got:
Checking for XML_ParserCreate in -lexpat... no
Checking for XML_ParserCreate in -lbsdxml... no
Configure: error: *** neither libexpat not libbsdxml could be found ***
shows -lexpat and -lbsdxml. So I tried setting up the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include the directory where the libexpat is located. I went ahead and did that and then did "export" with the expectation that libexpat could now be located, but the build still fails with the same error.
Also, I tried "enabling" expat in the configure file under /root/buildroot/build_arm/avahi-0.6.22. I called ./configure --enable-expat=yes, but I end up with an error with that as well, it complains about some PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable which I cannot find or change in the configure file.
Any ideas?
I'd just like to point out that I located "libexpat" in my build system and a bunch of files are under /usr/lib as libexpat.a, libexpat.la, libexpat.so, etc. Do you guys these need to be moved somewhere in /root/buildroot/build_arm/staging_dir/ for them to be located?On Tue, Apr 29, 2008 at 4:43 PM, Arun Reddy <reddyac-Re5JQEeQqe8@public.gmane.orgm> wrote:Hi Thiago,
I actually did not have expat in the menuconfig. The build process fails after it does a check for a whole bunch of files shown here...

I am not sure whether it needs expat to actually complete the build process or not. I went ahead and changed my buildroot .config file to include expat just in case, but I still get the same error. I attached my .config file as you requested. (I had to save it as a .txt file because I am using VirtualBox and my shared folder wouldn't accept the .config file itself). Thank you for your help.On Tue, Apr 29, 2008 at 3:18 PM, Thiago A. Corrêa <thiago.correa-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:Hi,
If this is a package from buildroot that you are compiling, it should
be looking for libexpat in the staging_dir, not in the system
libs/includes.
Did you enable expat in the menuconfig? Which package is failing?
Could you share your .config file?
Kind Regards,
