Hi, FreeType is software font engine, which is used as backend for Pango..etc.. Build procedure is same as that of other libraries. Download the source, configure and build.
If it is searching for GLib etc..then you need to specify where you have kept these libraries built for target, through PKG_CONFIG_PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LDFLAGS etc.. Also Use PATH for binaries built for target. Something like this: PREFIX="/opt/toolchain/arm-linux/local" PATH="/bin:/opt/toolchain/bin:/opt/toolchain/arm-linux/local/bin:/usr/bin" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/toolchain/arm-linux/local/lib" You need Glib, ATK, Cairo, Pango, Freetype, GTK etc.. to build GTK. You may need Libpng or something else, depending upon what all libraries are present for your target.

Can you please tell me what is freetype2 and how to build it. Actually what came to mind is : while configuring it is searching glib-2.0 and some other libraries at /usr/local/bin, but it should find for the libraries which we built for arm. if that is the case what are the libraries i need to compile for arm and how to link those instead of x86 libraries. I think freetype2 is going have all these libraries if i am not wrong... Please help me to set cross environment .... Thanks and Regards, Naveen.
