Error When Cross-Compiling with Android NDK

Post by vhmth »

Hey all. I'm currently cross-compiling all ImageMagick delegate libs with no problem using the Android NDK. However, when I try to do so with IM itself, I'm getting the error "configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling". Any ideas?

Bump? This seems to happen for any cross-compilation.

See viewtopic.php?f=3&t=25274. There was success cross-compiling ImageMagick for iOS.

Thanks for the link! After looking through it, it seems like the issue the OP was facing is not the same issue I am facing. I am simply seeing the error of "cannot run test program while cross compiling". When I leave out the "--host=..." flag, it gives me the error:

Code: Select all

checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in `/home/opsteam/vinay/3rdparty/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-6.8.8-9':
configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
After reading that thread, I tried updating IM to the latest (6.8.8-9), but I'm getting the same results. Has anyone else noticed this error? It seems like this page has a list of libraries that do/do not work when cross-compiling, and the same error is being reported there:

http://git.uclibc.org/buildroot/tree/sc ... 52f93cb11e

If it helps, here's the entire output of the configure:

Hi vhmth,

I tried to build ImageMagick using Android.mk files but it takes a lot of time to set flags of various kind when version changes. Therefore i created a script for cross-compilation using configure script as you are doing. However i see your log it says some problem after trying large file support. 64 Bit long addresses. Try disabling largefile by adding flag --disable-largefile.

I am sharing my script via my website's article. Please take a look if it helps you. Do let me know the results using the script. I will update my script and article if required. The script disables many features to let library work on most of Android devices. It does not build Magick++.

I have build old versions and latest ImageMagick-6.9.3-2 using this configure script.
