wiringPi and crosstool-ng

Question

I have a Problem using wiringPi with crosstool-ng. First I got this Error:

libwiringPi.so: file not recognized: File format not recognized

I think the problem might be that ./build will not use crosstool-ng to build wiringPi? I also tried to change the makefile:

CC = arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc
#CC =gcc

Then, while building wiringPi I got this error:

make: arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc: Command not found

If I type the command right into the terminal, the command works. Any other suggestions how to make wiringPi work with crosstool-ng? I am using Ubuntu 14.04 on my Notebook and Raspbian on the Pi.

For installing I followed these tutorials:

Crosstool-NG

WiringPi

Answer 1

You might want to look at my project Nard SDK where I do what you require, crosstool-ng builds wiringPi. You could compare my file nard/apps/wiringpi-lib/Makefile with your Makefile.

Answer 2

Changing the compiler in wiringPi's make file didn't work for me then I changed compiler name in gpio , wiringPiD, wiringPi ,devLib folder's makefiles .I also faced issue compiler of not finding header "wiringPi.h", then include path is modified to

     INCLUDE = -I$(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/include

in respective folder's make file.

    CC = /path/ to / compiler/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc

Probably trying giving complete path of compiler. I used this repo https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools for raspian cross compiler tools.

In addition I faced issue that linker was unable to find wiringPi and wiringPiD libraries , so I added following in gpio/Makefile . Now, running "./build " gave me a dynamic library which is crosscompiled.

       LDFLAGS = -L$(DESTDIR)/lib
