While cross compiling DirectFB for ARM we need libpng as a dependency I cross compiled libpng and it is done successfully but while compiling DirectFB I get this error after make command

/home/vishal/new_dfb/DirectFB_LiTE/lib/libpng12.so: file not recognized: File format not recognized
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [directfb-csource] Error 1

I tried the "file" command and its output is

file /home/vishal/new_dfb/DirectFB_LiTE/lib/libpng12.so
/home/vishal/new_dfb/DirectFB_LiTE/lib/libpng12.so: symbolic link to `libpng12.so.0.51.0'

And as libpng12.so.0.51.0 is present there so no problem for that. Any help?

Are you sure you're linking to your cross compiled version of libpng12.so? I've seen this message when an ARM cross compile picked up a native version of the library. – Simon Elliott Apr 13 '15 at 07:30
you are right that libpng isn't ARM compiled. Thank You. – nitin kumar Apr 13 '15 at 07:51
