Library files .la and .so are missing in the SDK linux-devkit

Hi Sinoj,

Can you please check with the latest release of the EZSDK - 5.03.01.15? I don't think we are clobbering .la or .so files either way but the latest one may not have this issue. 

Hi Siddharth,

Thanks for the response.

Let me check with the latest release.

Thanks & Regards,

Sinoj

Dear all

I am trying to build an application for dm8148 using the ezSDK (ezsdk_5_02_01_58_dm814x-c6a814x-am387x_Release_Notes.pdf). The application needs to be linked with the glib-2.0 library. However, i could not find libglib-2.0.la and libglib-2.0.la.so files in the linux-devkit (linux-devkit/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib/). Header files are present. So i tried to use .so files in the extracted file system from filesystem/ezsdk-dm814x-evm-rootfs.tar.gz. Even then build failed (libtool: link: cannot find the library `usr/lib/libglib-2.0.la' or unhandled argument) since  .la files are missing.

Did i miss something while installing the SDK?

How do i get .la files and build using glib in the SDK?

Thanks in advance.

You need to use pkg-config.  Using 5.02 and am3517 as an example (but this applies anywhere for 5.02/5.03 and probably a few older versions too):
