Currently I am trying to compile glib-2.32.3.
I am using Red Hadt linux, 64bit (x86_64) machine.
I am trying to compile glib-2.32.3 for 32bit.

I did following steps for compilation,
1. tar -xvf glib-2.32.3.tar
2. cd glib-2.32.3
3. ./configure --prefix=~/tools/glib-2.32.3/linux-x86 --host=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu CC="/tools/x64/bin/gcc" CFLAGS="-m32 -O2"

I get error,
configure: error: *** Working zlib library and headers not found ***

4. I downloaded zlib-1.2.8
5. tar -xvf zlib-1.2.8.tar.gz
6. cd zlib-1.2.8
7. ./configure --prefix=~/tools/zlib-1.2.8/linux-x86
8. make CC=/tools/x64/bin/gcc CFLAGS="-m32 -o2" install
9. export PATH=~/local/tools/zlib-1.2.8/linux-x86/lib:$PATH

I saw zlib.pc inside local/tools/zlib-1.2.8/linux-x86/lib/pkgconfig.
I added this path to the $PATH.

When I recompiled glib-2.32.3 I am getting same error.
When I did "echo $PATH" I could see "~/local/tools/zlib-1.2.8/linux086/lib".
Why zlib library is not seen to config ??

Hi,

$PATH is where your shell searches for executables, it has nothing to do with where a compiler will look for header files or a linker will look for libraries.

Evo2.

OKay. I added library path in compiler options.
It is working fine now.
Thanks for the information.
