Building shared library using GCC toolchain from Sitara linux SDK 7.0

Tim Karaldin

Hello!

I have a problem with building packages by Sitara toolchain from SDK. For example, I want to build the db-6.0.30 for AM335х EVMSK.

1) I download and unpack it.

2) I make source environment-setup command

3) I run ./configure --host=i686

4) make

5) make install

and cann't find any *.so library. Additional checking show that config.log show:

configure:ХХХХХ: checking if libtool supports shared libraries
configure:ХХХХХ: result: no

Any ideas?

Hi Tim,

If the configure script supports shared libraries, you can usually pass the "shared" parameter to it. Search the package documentation for a README or INSTALL file and check for any relevant information there.

Best regards,
Miroslav

I don't think it's so easy. I have the same problem with others packages too. BerkleyDB package has option "--enable-shared" but it's enabled by default. I have found workaround: I have changed --host=i686 to --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf in ./configure arguments and *.so libs start to building, binaries works with these libararies but I worried about results. Why in case of using correct string from http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Sitara_Linux_SDK_GCC_Toolchain I got marks about not supporting shared libraries?
