I am trying to cross compile espeak-ng for target=arm-linux-gnueabihf

The sudo make install step gives the following error :

~:~/Downloads/Dependencies/espeak-ng-master$ sudo make install
[sudo] password for abc: 
ESPEAK_DATA_PATH=../Downloads/Dependencies/espeak-ng-master src/espeak-ng --compile-intonations && \
    ESPEAK_DATA_PATH=../Downloads/Dependencies/espeak-ng-master src/espeak-ng --compile-phonemes && \
    touch phsource/phonemes.stamp
src/espeak-ng: line 117: ../Downloads/Dependencies/espeak-ng-master/src/.libs/espeak-ng: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

Makefile:2590: recipe for target 'phsource/phonemes.stamp' failed
make: *** [phsource/phonemes.stamp] Error 126

I have cross compiled using the following : 

./configure   CC=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -prefix /opt/myproject-sysroot/usr --build=$MACHTYPE --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf

make -B src/speak-ng src/espeak-ng

  • The `Exec format error` most probably means that you have compiled the program with different compiler then the target architecture. Most probably `make` prints the compile commands - please show the output of `make` and maybe the output of `configure`. – KamilCuk Apr 24 '20 at 06:22
  • updated the configue and make outputs – Simran Kaur Apr 24 '20 at 10:19
  • Well, `make` is trying to execute `src/espeak-ng` on your local machine - that is going to fail. Inspect what does `--compile-phonemes` and --compile-intonations` do and see if you can do that on your host. – KamilCuk Apr 24 '20 at 10:47
  • I am a beginner at cross compile and espeak can you help provide some reference for --compile-phonemes – Simran Kaur Apr 24 '20 at 12:48
