You need to be more specific. You should be compiling with a cross-compiled version of 'glib' - and then you need to ensure that any paths will be relative to a cross-compiled 'glib' installation.

I think that there should be some changing in Makefile of glib then this thing may be possible but I am not certain about thisHafiz Muhammad Shafiq– Hafiz Muhammad Shafiq2014-02-21 13:24:03 +00:00Commented Feb 21, 2014 at 13:24

If the source code of library has a configure script try :
./configure --host=TARGET_PLATFORM
you must have TARGET_PLATFORM gcc installed .
e.g. : target=arm-linux-androideabi , so you should have arm-linux-androideabi-gcc and arm-linux-androideabi-ar & ... in your $PATH
If the source code does not provide 'configure' then export CROSS_COMPILE=TARGET_PLATFORM.

suppose ABC is path to your cross-compiler(if it's not installed into OS) , use
export PATH=${PATH}:${ABC}/bin
