[Ltib] dbus-glib cross compilation

[tarek allaoua]

Hello

Using ltib version 8.1.2 cvs version 1.421.4.1 i would like to share your experience with dbus-glib cross compilation.
As explained previously, cross compiling dbus should take care of AC_TRY_RUN, and some other considerations. Well, dbus builds just fine right now and it works. I would like to build dbus-glib for powerpc (mpc51xx) using the attached spec file.

Well, i've tried exporing  CC  LDFLAGS CPPFLAGS before calling configure without any success ... i still dont know why the configure tries to link with my host libdbus instead of my target (/rootfs/usr/lib) one.

The build ends with the following error (Attached detailled log) :
