hostapd cross compilation error

[uday kiran]

Hi Sriram

Thanks for the reply . That helps.

But i got a linker error as below

cannot find -lnl
cannot find -lnl-genl

for that I have downloaded libnl3.2.2 and issued the following commands

1) ./configure --host=powerpc CC=powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc

Output >>> configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't
use --host.
    If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be used.
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
......
....

2) make CC=powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc

3) make install <== this step is not creating the libnl libraries in the
lib folder which are required for hostapd linking.

Could you please help me sorting it out.

-Uday
