Hello everyone,

Is there anyone who can help me on building and compiling "pulse-audio" package ?

Searching on the net I find this makefile :
https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/package … ?rev=28311

but the compilation of the package end with errors :
*** No rule to make target `package//host/compile', needed by `package/pulseaudio/compile'.  Stop.

Go to the download section and look for the platform under the release you want.

I'm developping an IP that use pule-audio libraries.

So that I need the corsscompiled shared libraries of the pulse-audio not the prepared package in order to cross compile my IP.

If there's a way to install a precompiled package in my toolchaine and including it in the final image bin I will be so happy to know how to do it !
--------------------------------------------

This is the problem that I'm trying to solve :
/home/amir/Bureau/openwrt-na9xx-r25875-20121204/staging_dir/toolchain-mipsel_r2_gcc-linaro_uClibc-0.9.32/lib/gcc/mipsel-openwrt-linux-uclibc/4.5.2/../../../../mipsel-openwrt-linux-uclibc/bin/ld: cannot find -lpulse

You can download the OpenWRT SDK to compile an individual package.

I already download the sdk and I compiled it and I compiled tow libraries pocketsphinx and sphinxbase witch I'm using in my application.

Now I'm needing to compile the pulse-audio in order to get access to it's libraries cause I'm needing it's library.

In fact I developed an IP witch recognize the human voice based on those libraries I succeed linking my IP with compiled libraries (pocketsphinx and sphinxbase) now I need to get access to voice through pulse library.

here what I get when I cross compile my IP ;
make package/fr-recognizer/compile BUILD_LOG=1 V=s

I don't know what you meant by IP. Is it your own program? If not, where can we download to test?

yes it's my own program.

I will discribe the hole project :

I'm using tow libraries pocketsphinx and sphinxbase in order to recognize human voice. so I cross compile those tow libraries.

Sphinxbase provide an interface with audio-source by using pulse-audio libraries.

when I cross compile the hole project I got that error witch indicate that the -lpulse is missed

I don't have a problem in the linking between the *.o sources files and the header-files of the pulse-audio cause I already copied the header files of pulse-audio in the src file.

is I'm wright or it's not the problem ?

If you peruse the Makefile of all OpenWRT library packages, you will notice not all files in the include and/or lib directories get installed during the installation stage. I ran into the same problem, too. For this, I strongly suggest you download a complete OpenWRT source tree and build it from scratch. If you take this route, I strongly suggest that you use the SVN and/or GIT trunk. My local OpenWRT source tree is based on SVN trunk.

the problem was from missing package "intltool".

adding that package resolved the problem and I succeed to compile pulse-audio after adding many other packages needed in related packages.

now when I cross compile my project I get undefined reference errors :

executing this command readelf -a  libpulse.so.0.13.4

I am glad to hear you finally managed to resolve the issue.

This sounded like the pulse library is too old?

It's pulse-audio-1.0 so it should be so old I wil try a newer version.

I installed the version 5.0 of pulse audio same result.
I notice some_thing strange in the directory to the shared library  in the linking error log-file :

/home/amir/Bureau/openwrt-na9xx-r25875-20121204/staging_dir/target-mipsel_r2_uClibc-0.9.32/usr//lib/libpulse.so

// should be / ?

That's perfectly OK to have a '//'.
