Steps I followed to cross compile the libusb-1.0.9 to use with already cross compiled QT5 for raspberry pi3.
I have the libusb1.0.9 folder located at /home/yasir/Development/crosscompile/libususb-1.0.9
mounted image of raspberry pi3 at
/mnt/rasp-pi-rootfs/
STEPS
step 1.
At /home/yasir/Development/crosscompile
I run this
./fixQualifiedLibraryPaths /mnt/rasp-pi-rootfs/ /home/yasir/Development/crosscompile/tools/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian-x64/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc
step 2.
Then I go to /home/yasir/Development/crosscompile/libususb-1.0.9
I run this
./configure --host=arm-linux --prefix=/usr/local/libusb-rpi -disable-udev --with-sysroot=/mnt/rasp-pi-rootfs/ CROSS_COMPILE=/home/yasir/Development/crosscompile/tools/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian-x64/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- CFLAGS=-I/mnt/rasp-pi-rootfs/usr/include/ /mnt/rasp-pi-rootfs/usr/local/include/ LIBS=-L/mnt/rasp-pi-rootfs/usr/lib
please note this in the mean of terminal output:
step 3
sudo make
step 4
sudo make install
step no 5
make install does copy files to /usr/local/libusb-rpi on the PC, but not to the image mounted. So I did this
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/rasp-pi-rootfs/usr/local/libusb-rpi
sudo rsync -avh /usr/local/libusb-rpi/ /mnt/rasp-pi-rootfs/usr/local/libusb-rpi/
but QT5 compiler claims that the libusb-1.0.so has wrong format when I did this
object dump -f libusb-1.0.so
which clearly shows that the libusb -1.0.so file is generated but not for the raspberry pi arm architecture its for the host system.
Please tell me where I am wrong. Why libusb-1.0.so file is not cross compiled for the arm architecture(raspberry pi3), while I have use all the correct tools for the cross compilation.
please advice so I can generate .so file for the rapberry pi3 through cross compilation, though I also investigated the generated libusb.so file at the raspberry pi3 itself ,it was found to small size and its architecture was also arm.
