X.org cross development

[Leo Hendrawan]

Hi all,

I am new to linux actually, but now im doing cross development project to
make small linux system on Compact Flash card. I am using OpenSuse 10.1 with
Intel processor as my hostm and my target system is also x86 processor and
will boot from the CF card.

I am finished with the basic system, now im starting with the X windows
system. I have some questions that i couldnt find the answer after googling.

I am using the X11R6.7.0. and I am planning to do:
- make the shadow directory build using lndir command
- configure the host.def file
- build the X windows: make CROSSCOMPILEDIR=<PATH_TO_CROSS_COMPILER> World
- install to the CF card (supposed it is mounted on /mnt/cf): make install
DESTDIR=/mnt/cf
can i do this?

now im trying to make the first step, but i have problems.
- it appeared that some links headers files were missing (like "zlib.h" for
"lbx_zlib.h", "ft2build.h" was missing for "fcfreetype.h"). I managed these
errors by adding C_INCLUDE_PATH to the directories containing the header
files inside the packages while doing "make World"

- then it appeared that my linker (ld) cross compiler missing some library,
there were errors like: (cannot find -lfreetype, cannot find -lexpat, cannot
find -lz). I googled it find some tips that i should make my symbolic links
on my library directory of the cross compiler to the library of my X windows
system host (/usr/X11R6/lib) with the library libfreetype.so, libz.so,
libexpat.so.

- But then the later steps brings me to new error like the library is
unsupported:

can anyone give me a suggestion? i tried also to find something about cross
development x windows system, but couldnt find. does anyone have a
suggestion of a good reference about cross development?
big thanks for helping the newcomer :)

best regards,
