Wayland cross compiling makefile error

Question

I am trying to cross compile wayland for an arm-linux platform. During the make, I am getting following error..

  CC       src/scanner.o
  CC       src/connection.lo
  CC       src/wayland-util.lo
  CC       src/wayland-os.lo
  CCLD     libwayland-util.la
  CCLD     wayland-scanner
  GEN      protocol/wayland-server-protocol.h
/bin/sh: ./wayland-scanner: cannot execute binary file
make: *** [protocol/wayland-server-protocol.h] Error 126

`wayland-scanner` is compiled for `arm` and is trying to execute while building (on x86). Can you give more details like from where you clonned, what commands you gave to compile, and update log with `make -d` if possible — Sagar Sakre, Jun 13 '14 at 06:33
I downloaded the wayland package from freedesktop.org command: ./configure --build=arm-linux --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --prefix=$WLD — user3526598, Jun 16 '14 at 09:22

If you can install the Wayland package on the build system that comes with the native wayland-scanner binary (e.g., libwayland-bin on Debian/Ubuntu, wayland-dev on Alpine Linux, wayland on Arch Linux), in the latest version of Wayland (currently 1.17.0) you can use the option --with-host-scanner to ./configure:

 ./configure --host=${target} --with-host-scanner

You need to invoke the disable-scanner option at the autogen stage.

./autogen.sh --disable-scanner --build=arm-linux --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --prefix=$WLD
