glib in cross compiling for raspberry pi c - c

I'm trying to compile a program with glib. I set up all the include paths so compilation goes through without errors but linker can't find glib.
Invoking: Cross GCC Linker
arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -L/home/ja/raspberrypi/rootfs/usr/local/lib -L/home/ja/raspberrypi/rootfs/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf -o "daemon_test" ./src/gpio/gpio.o ./src/can/can_stuff.o ./src/can/libsocketcan.o ./src/daemon_test.o -lglib-2.0 -lwiringPi
/home/ja/raspberrypi/tools/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.8.3/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/ld: cannot find -lglib-2.0
makefile:32: recipe for target 'daemon_test' failed
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [daemon_test] Error 1
I have a cross compiler set up for my raspberry pi. it's composed of eclipse and a gcc compiler running on debian.
it seems obvious that the linker can't find the proper file.
On my target raspberry pi I've installed libglib2.0-dev and a test program builds fine. So I used rsync to update my cross compiler's rootfs
rsync -rl --delete-after --safe-links pi#192.168.2.160:/{lib,usr,opt} $HOME/raspberrypi/rootfs
my include paths are set to the same values as come out from pkg-config on my rpi(adjusted for rootfs location)
pkg-config --libs --cflags glib-2.0
as I was writing this I did a search for "libglib" on both rpi and my cross compiler. there's a libglib-2.0.so on my rpi, but in my crosscompiler it's a libglib-2.0.so.0, they are both same size.
I removed the ".0" and got a new error
warning: libpcre.so.3, needed by /home/ja/raspberrypi/rootfs/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libglib-2.0.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
and a bunch of undefined refferences. the thing is, that file exists in the same location as libglib-2.0.so(renamed form libglib-2.0.so.0)
-L/home/ja/raspberrypi/rootfs/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf
anyone has any ideas what to do? I spent my whole day on this..

Cross-compiling cairo for x86_64-w64 with mingw

I have an application that links again SDL and cairo that I would like to cross-compile on ubuntu for win64. I used this excellent blog post to get SDL cross compiling and I've used another blog post to cross-compile zlib, libpng and libpixman.
However, I now get a linker error trying to compile my minimal test program:
$ make cairotest.exe
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -o cairotest.o -c cairotest.c -I/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/SDL2 -Dmain=SDL_main -I/home/jshaw/x86_64-w64/include/cairo -I/home/jshaw/x86_64-w64/include/pixman-1 -I/home/jshaw/x86_64-w64/include/libpng16
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -o cairotest.exe cairotest.o -L/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib -lmingw32 -lSDL2main -lSDL2 -mwindows -L/home/jshaw/x86_64-w64/lib -lcairo
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:13: recipe for target 'cairotest.exe' failed
I should mention that this test program works correctly if I just use SDL2 without any cairo code, so I suspect something is wrong with the cairo library that I cross-compiled. How should I go about diagnosing the problem?
Looking at your Makefile it appears as though your are using normal pkg-config for discovering your Cairo libs. CAIRO_LDFLAGS := $(shell $(PKG_CONFIG) cairo --libs). This will find the path to your host libraries, which is presumably a different architecture than the target. An architecture mismatch like that can really cause strange problems with the linker. I believe you should be looking for something like usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/pkg-config.
Other things to try;
Run the compilation commands manually, as the makefile could be suppressing output.
Also, when running the command, add the -v flag to the command line to get the verbose output to better figure out where the issue is.

How do I make the MinGW cross compiler use the same libraries as gcc?

My program uses the GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library to deal with numbers of an arbitrary size. I successfully compile it using GCC with:
gcc main.c -o diff -g -lgmp
However, when I try to use the MinGW crosscompiler compiler, I get the following error:
i686-w64-mingw32-gcc main.c -o diff.exe -g -lgmp
main.c:3:46: fatal error: gmp.h: No such file or directory
#include <gmp.h>//For files of arbitrary size
I then tried to tell it exactly where the header file was:
i686-w64-mingw32-gcc main.c -o diff.exe -I/usr/include -g -lgmp
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.9.2/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld: cannot find -lgmp
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Ok, so I figure now it successfully found the header, but cant find the library. So I tried again:
i686-w64-mingw32-gcc main.c -o diff.exe -I/usr/include -g -L/usr/lib -lgmp
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.9.2/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld: cannot find -lgmp
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
I guess I need to specify the exact files to use, so I tried this:
i686-w64-mingw32-gcc main.c -o diff.exe -I/usr/include -g /usr/lib/libgmp.so
/usr/lib/libgmp.so: file not recognized: File format not recognized
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
So, I honestly don't know what to do and I'd really really appreciate your help.
First, a disclaimer: the cross-compiler you are using is neither distributed by, nor supported by MinGW.org, whom I represent; if you are looking for a pre-compiled solution, you should seek it from the distributor of the specific cross-compiler itself.
That said, I can offer the following insight, (which will apply, in general, to any cross-compiler): the headers you find in /usr/include, or in /usr/local/include, and the libgmp.so which you find in /usr/lib, or in /usr/local/lib, are intended for use with your native platform compiler. They are not suitable for, and cannot be used with your MinGW cross-compiler; attempting to do so will surely never work. Thus, you have two options:
Ask your cross-compiler distributor to provide a pre-compiled copy of gmp.dll, (or at the very least, a compatible import library, although you may need the gmp.dll to distribute with your own application anyway), and any associated header files, and/or equivalent statically linkable library, for use with your cross-compiler.
Use your cross-compiler to build gmp.dll yourself, then install it, its associated headers, and perhaps also its associated import library and/or equivalent statically linkable library, into the same prefix-path as the cross-compiler itself.

PJSIP Application linking error

I'm trying to write a very small, very simple project using PJSIP. But I'm already stuck on the first step, incorporating PJSIP in my project. I'm trying to build and compile on a Ubuntu 14.04 system using an arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc cross compiler. For the coding itself I'm using Eclipse CDT, but the crosscompiling part is working in a normal order.
I downloaded de pjproject-2.3 folder to my system, configured it with this command:
./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf CFLAGS='--sysroot=/home/david/rpi/rootfs' LDFLAGS='--sysroot=/home/david/rpi/rootfs'
The /home/david/rpi/rootfs folder is where I copied the rootsystem of my Pi. I then ran 'make dep' and 'make'. I copied all the static libraries *.a to my Eclipse project folder and added the libraries to the linker (-l).
But when I want to build I get the following error:

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [VoIPBenchmark] Error 1
I googled some and tried to add -fPIC in the ./configure step above, recopied the libraries, but without result. Does anyone know what this message is saying me, and better yet, knows a solution?
This problem has been resolved. I was using a library that also linked to the srtp library, this evidently conflicted. So I am now not using the library that causes the problem.

DSO missing from command line although it is available

I am working with c++ code for a physics simulation, which uses a lot of external libraries (like GSL and cern`s ROOT). Trying to recompile project I encountered problems with linking. When running compilation of final file via:
g++ -fno-inline -O2 -fpic -o main.out ${ROOTINCS} main.o ext.o ${ROOTLIBS} $(objects2)
with :
objects2= many .o files made by us
ROOTLIBS=-L/usr/local/lib/root -lTree -lRIO -lNet -lHist -lMathCore -lCore -lGraf -lGraf3d -lGpad -lMatrix -lThread -lCint -lPhysics -lPostscript -lRint -lSpectrum -lg
ROOTINCS=-pthread -m64
I get annoying error:
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/root/libHist.so: undefined reference to symbol 'gRandom'
/usr/local/lib/root/libMathCore.so: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
The problem is nm -C run on libMathCore states 'gRandom' is declared there. Also -lMathCore is present in my command line.
When I run ld to check if it understands the flag:
ld -L/usr/local/lib/root -lMathCore --verbose 2>/dev/null
it does not complain and tries to link properly.
According to https://stackoverflow.com/a/24675715/3602168 order of libraries is correct in my linking (libHist uses libMathCOre and therefore is stated first).
Compilation runs under g++ 4.8.2 on ubuntu 14.04, 64 bit
Converting comment to answer:
Have you tried moving $(objects2) before ${ROOTLIBS}? I think the issue may be that you have libraries specified before the object files that use them.

Error occurs when compiling with GCC

I am attempting to compile a C program with multiple files on window platform. However, when I make it, errors are occurred. I have already tried to modify command in makefile but still could not fix it.
This is my GCC command:
gcc -o "SYSMONTR" $(OBJPATH)/chkdsksp ../chkdsksp.c -g -I"$(DB2PATH)/include" -I"$(MYLIBDIR)" $(MYIQDIR)/iqclilib.a $(OBJPATH)/icrou.a -lc -ldb2 -lnsl -L"$(DB2PATH)/lib"
This is result:
gcc -o "SYSMONTR" ../../iLINKOBJ/chkdsksp ../chkdsksp.c -g -I"C:/Program Files/IBM/SQLLIB/include" -I"../../iLINKCLIB" ../../iLINKIQOBJ/iqclilib.a ../../iLINKOBJ/icrou.a -lc -ldb2 -lnsl -L"C:/Program Files/IBM/SQLLIB/lib"
../../iLINKOBJ/chkdsksp: file not recognized: File format not recognized
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
makefile:49: recipe for target `SYSMONTR' failed
make: *** [SYSMONTR] Error 1
What could cause such error and what should I do with it? Using cygwin on Window (IDE: Eclipse).
Any supports will be appreciated.
If chkdsksp is an object file built by another team to run on AIX, you cannot expect it to function -- or even be recognized by your compiler -- on Cygwin. You must contact that team and get a) the source code or b) a version of the object file compiled for your platform (and tested).
