I am trying to cross compile ALSA Lib application for linux-arm based processor. I am using eclipse to do the build for me. The build phase of the application is successful but I get errrors when the gcc linker tries to complete.

I get the following errors

Building target: sound Invoking: Cross GCC Linker arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -L/proc/asound -L/srv/nfs/rootfs/usr/lib -Wl,-rpath-link,/srv/nfs/rootfs/usr/lib -L/srv/nfs/rootfs/lib -Wl,-rpath-link,/srv/nfs/rootfs/lib -o "sound" ./play.o

11:15:58 Build Finished (took 75ms)

I am using the Sample Playback Program from ASLA-LIB api.

I am wondering what is causing the linker to fail?

You're missing an asound library linkage, add -lasound to your linking flags (see this question which tells where to do that properly in Eclipse). And probably remove -L/proc/asound, I don't think you have your libraries there.

  • Hi @Roman I followed the directions you suggested and it giving me a linker errors saying "-lasound not found" Can you please suggest a solution to this. I added "asound" to Libraries(-l) followed by the path in Library search path(-L) for the Linker. – JavaProgrammer Sep 19 '16 at 18:25
  • @JavaProgrammer: it's hard to tell where your libraries are, now you're missing the library in your library search paths, you should add proper path with `-L` parameter. Where do you have your target root file system? – Roman Khimov Sep 19 '16 at 18:45
