I need cross compile a glib-2.0.0 share libraries.when I user my crosstool(gcc-3.4.6-glibc-2.3.6) to compile it ,I encountered a error like the underline show.who meet the same error like me,or have a good solution?Thank at first!

Glib-2.0.0 is very old.

When another application asks for glib-2.0 = > glib-2.0.0
it means glib-2.0.0 or newer.

Just try a newer version, the current stable is 2.20.1
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/glib/

Older versions can be googled
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...earch&aq=f&oq=
.....

Thanks for you help!
I have solved the problem smoothly

I compiled the version of 2.20.0 before,but fail,so I did not try 2.20.1.

Thank you again!

Hi,
and what was your "smooth" solution.
I tried and 2.20.1 but fail the same way (the make file, with those code injections, for "the tests", is awful).
