About cross-compilling DirectFB on ARM

I'm cross-compilling DirectFB-0.9.24 on ARM using arm-
linux-2.95.3.processes like this:

Do you use GCC 2.95? This is a really old version and you might get
problems with some programs and libraries.

I've used http://www.angstrom-distribution.org for compiling Ångström for
the AT91SAM9263, which uses a GCC 4.* compiler (I don't remember the exact
version), which works great. But first it didn't compile on an old Fedora
Core Linux system, but the latest Debian distribution worked (some problems
with old M4 generators).

Looks like the real error is some lines before.

You are right! As you said ,I found something like this:

 /usr/local/arm/2.95.3/bin/arm-linux-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -
I../.. -I../../include -I../../lib -I../../lib -I../../src -DDATADIR=

c idirectfbvideoprovider_v4l.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/
idirectfbvideoprovider_v4l.o
idirectfbvideoprovider_v4l.c:47: linux/compiler.h: No such file or
directory
In file included from ../../src/core/state.h:35,
                 from idirectfbvideoprovider_v4l.c:59:

../../lib/direct/serial.h:63: warning: value computed is not used
make[3]: *** [idirectfbvideoprovider_v4l.lo] Error 1
....

notice this line: idirectfbvideoprovider_v4l.c:47: linux/compiler.h:
No such file or directory
I think it must be the real error.

Frank Buss,thank you very much.

Yes, this looks like the real error. It is part of the linux header files,
but you'll need it for your cross compile target, not from your Linux host
system. Try an updatedb and "locate compiler.h" to check, if you have this
file somewhere in your cross compile path. Then you can add it to the
header include path.
