Issues with compiling 32bit custom build (git 9.2.3 tag). Meson failure at glib/gio plugin-ressource compilation (cannout find libmount.so.1)

Hi,

i'm using Open|LibreELEC for quite a while now and managed to successfully build custom images for my old K8N800/Turion64 board as tvheadend server. That 64bit build was relatively

uncomplicated to do so.

Now i want to do the same (custom image with custom kernel) for the even older Via Epia SP13000 board.

After some minor issues with openssl compiler / architecture detection which i was able to circumvent, i now run into persistent problem with the glib package:

Code

The glib ressource-compiler seems to be unable to find the libmount.so.1 lib. I'm not familiar with meson, but it seems meson does lists libmount in intro-dependency.json

It seems the libmount is actually there, but cannot be found by the compiler:

Code

LibreELEC.tv$ ls /home/manuel/LibreELEC.tv/build.LibreELEC-VIA_Epia13000SP.x86-9.2-devel/toolchain/i686-libreelec-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/lib/libmount.so*

/home/manuel/LibreELEC.tv/build.LibreELEC-VIA_Epia13000SP.x86-9.2-devel/toolchain/i686-libreelec-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/lib/libmount.so.1

is it the HOST or the BUILD libmount, what is needed by glib ressource-compiler ?

can i provide the proper path to libmount in meson / ninja ?

Regards
