configure: error: Could not find a required library. Please see the README for your platform.
Searching the net i haven't found a way to solve (or disable) that requirement...i installed all the possible libboost (dev too) but nothing happens Sad
here are the logs:
bootstrap
configure
sorry, but i'm understandig if and what i'm missing Confused

Cheers

try the relevant files, config.log and config.log.err. they will hold the details.
looks like you're missing a C++ cross compiler. Try g++-arm-linux-gnueabi(hf)
Yessss....g++-arm was the missed package Confused
Installed, but now it give me a python errorSad

configure: error:
Could not link test program to Python. Maybe the main Python library has been
installed in some non-standard library path. If so, pass it to configure,
via the LDFLAGS environment variable.
Example: ./configure LDFLAGS="-L/usr/non-standard-path/python/lib"
============================================================================
ERROR!
You probably have to install the development version of the Python package
for your distribution. The exact name of this package varies among them.
============================================================================
(python-dev and python2.7-dev are installed)

Be patients please, is my first cross compile and i haven't found a full guide about to make it...if you have one to link me i'll appreciate Smile
i'm considering too to change the thread title for further issues...or it's better i open a new one?
Thanks guys Smile
having the same issue here

did you find any solution ?
you need to cross compile python as well
