Description Felipe Contreras 2010-07-03 13:18:19 UTC 
This is specially useful on cross-compiler, I don't know why it's supposed to work only on native ones.

What exactly do you need?

From the manpage
 LIBRARY_PATH
  The value of LIBRARY_PATH is a colon-separated list of directories, much like PATH.  When configured as a native compiler, GCC
  tries the directories thus specified when searching for special linker files, if it can’t find them using GCC_EXEC_PREFIX.  Linking
  using GCC also uses these directories when searching for ordinary libraries for the -l option (but directories specified with -L
  come first).

I confirm that LIBRARY_PATH is ignored by CodeSourcery cross-compiler, and I don't see why. Wouldn't LIBRARY_PATH be specially useful for cross-comilation?
Comment 3 Felipe Contreras 2010-09-27 01:28:24 UTC 
Is this not clear?

It would be useful to cross-compile like this:

export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/arm/ffmpeg/include
export LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/arm/ffmpeg/lib

But LIBRARY_PATH is ignored.
