cross-compilation takes the host library path

Hi All,
I have already cross-compiled some code end libs for arm.
Now I am trying to compile the sofia-sip package and I have some trouble with the library path.

The problem is that the linker search for some glib in the host path.

I have the library for arm and I set the LDFLAGS to reach target arm glib

export LDFLAGS=-L/opt/mv_pro_5.0/montavista/pro/devkit/arm/v5t_le/target/lib -L/opt/mv_pro_5.0/montavista/pro/devkit/arm/v5t_le/target/usr/lib

With this LDFLAGS the linker points to the host library in
“/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so”.

I can compile if I temporarily move the arm lib in /usr/lib but when I try to compile an example project using the lib I get I have again the same problem.
In the example project makefile the /usr/lib path does not appears.

Thank you.

You need make sure makefile use LDFLAGS when doing linking.

Thank you for the answer nini09.
The LDFLAGS are used by the linker as you can see from the output of the make:

The problem is that it picks libgobject-2.0.so from /usr/lib (a path which does not appear in the makefile) and the correct path is /home/ermes/workdir/filesys/usr/lib (which appears after the -L)

Thank you

The problem is that it picks libgobject-2.0.so from /usr/lib

'make' uses autotools : /usr/lib/ is first in the "library search paths".
You may be able to either exclude all system paths,
or have all those not to be first in the search path.

Use a chroot environment : Nothing outside will be used.

Or :
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/ermes/workdir/filesys/usr/lib etc. etc.

Your toolchain may not be built correctly. A GNU toolchain has a built-in list of places to search for libraries, and other bits. That built-in list is a function of how it was created. Try running

/opt/mv_pro_5.0/montavista/pro/devkit/arm/v5t_le/bin/arm_v5t_le-gcc -print-search-dirs

to see where it will look for stuff.

Check your red print-out. The libgobject-2.0.so is told to serach at /usr/lib.
