For some reason libtool makes a substitution of "/usr/lib/libpng12.so" when "-lpng12" is specified, and then passes this path to gcc. This path happens to be the host libpng12.so library, when we really want the target's library, so it has the wrong format. Why libtool does this I have no idea, but I was able to work around it by explicitly specifiying the full path of target libpng12.so library in the corresponding DirectFB "Makefile". In my case, I had to make this correction in only 2 places, though "-lpng12" is specified in hundreds of places within the DirectFB Makefile source tree. For example, in DirectFB/tools/Makefile: # LIBPNG = -lpng12 << comment this one out # and add this in LIBPNG = /home/user/path-to-target-toolchain/lib/libpng12.so I also needed this same change in DirectFB/interfaces/IDirectFBImageProvider/Makefile. Hope this helps. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Correa - 07-05-08 08:22 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DirectFB builds now, I think we can close this. It still have some problems with pkg-config that have been reported upstream though, but not related to this particular report. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UlfSamuelsson - 07-05-08 14:55 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I saw the same problem in libgtk2 today. Host "/usr/lib/libpng12.so" is used.
