I'm cross-compilling DirectFB-0.9.24 on ARM using arm- linux-2.95.3.processes like this:

Do you use GCC 2.95? This is a really old version and you might get problems with some programs and libraries.

I've used

formatting link
for compiling Ångström for the AT91SAM9263, which uses a GCC 4.* compiler (I don't remember the exact version), which works great. But first it didn't compile on an old Fedora Core Linux system, but the latest Debian distribution worked (some problems with old M4 generators).

Looks like the real error is some lines before.

You are right! As you said ,I found something like this:

/usr/local/arm/2.95.3/bin/arm-linux-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. - I../.. -I../../include -I../../lib -I../../lib -I../../src -DDATADIR= \"/usr/miniDirectFB/share/directfb-0.9.24\" -D_REENTRANT -Wall -O3 - ffast-math -pipe -D_GNU_SOURCE -Werror-implicit-function-declaration - c idirectfbvideoprovider_v4l.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/ idirectfbvideoprovider_v4l.o idirectfbvideoprovider_v4l.c:47: linux/compiler.h: No such file or directory In file included from ../../src/core/state.h:35, from idirectfbvideoprovider_v4l.c:59: ../../lib/direct/serial.h: In function `direct_serial_increase': ../../lib/direct/serial.h:63: warning: value computed is not used make[3]: *** [idirectfbvideoprovider_v4l.lo] Error 1 ....

notice this line: idirectfbvideoprovider_v4l.c:47: linux/compiler.h: No such file or directory I think it must be the real error.

Frank Buss,thank you very much.

Yes, this looks like the real error. It is part of the linux header files, but you'll need it for your cross compile target, not from your Linux host system. Try an updatedb and "locate compiler.h" to check, if you have this file somewhere in your cross compile path. Then you can add it to the header include path.
