Hello,
Ive just started a new project to attempt to compile museek, a soulseek based daemon for ipq806x devices like my Archer C2600.

I have gotten as far as building the toolchain with all the necessary requirements, and have started to try and compile glibmm, a requirement for libxml++, which is needed to compile museek

After launching the GNU configure for glibmm, make just fails giving me this error

Making all in extra_defs_gen
make[3]: Entering directory '/home/gebn/openwrt/compileme/glibmm-2.4.8/tools/extra_defs_gen'
/bin/bash ../../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=link g++  -g -O2 -Wall -Wno-long-long   -o generate_extra_defs  generate_defs_glib.o libglibmm_generate_extra_defs-2.4.la /home/gebn/openwrt/staging_dir/target-arm_cortex-a15+neon-vfpv4_musl_eabi/usr/lib/

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:327: recipe for target 'generate_extra_defs' failed

I'm not exactly linux or compiling savvy, anybody know whats up here?
google yields no results for directories in this field ( /usr/bin/ld: cannot find .... File format not recognized) , just for singular library files, i don't even know what library its trying to look for

ps: some extra info and variables i was using

GLIBMM_CFLAGS=/home/gebn/openwrt/staging_dir/target-arm_cortex-a15+neon-vfpv4_musl_eabi/usr/include/
GLIBMM_LIBS=/home/gebn/openwrt/staging_dir/target-arm_cortex-a15+neon-vfpv4_musl_eabi/usr/lib/

 ./configure --build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu  --host=arm-openwrt-linux-uclibc
make

Sorry if i posted in the wrong thread.

Why are you using "configure" .... make system should do all that?

Also, have you put the staging_dir names in your PATH env (~/.bashrc) and logged out/back in ?

Honestly compiling is a completely new territory for me. and i was just using all the wiki and tutorials i could find
i do recall make giving me some issues though, though id try to use configure beforehand would help (?)
I also recall setting the staging dir names in path; but dont recall logging back out and in, maybe that would have solved it.
however i couldnt wrap my head around it back then and just gave up on trying, maybe ill try again another day but until then im using an rpi.
