Adding lib, specifically gnu readline

Hi - I am porting some code to an embedded ARM (Cortex-A9) in an SOC using DS 5. The code uses readline.h and history.h to handle command line parsing. I really want to keep them because they work great.

My question is - are these libraries available for the ARM and specifically how do I add a new lib under DS 5?

Best
Kevin.

  • Hi Andy - thanks for your response - I appreciate the 'build from source' approach, I'm guessing if no one has a pre-comiled binary I may need to try it. As an FPGA designer trying to get a simple diagnostic running it is possibly out of my wheelhouse though - readline from GNU comes with a handy config script that figures out what dependencies your system meets and sets up a config.h file with #defines etc... Since I am cross compiling, that auto-config feature is not useful and I will need to hand edit the config.h for the embedded Linux that I am running and I don't know how to figure out how to set up this file.
