I'm trying to cross-compile Freetype 2.5.3, so I could use it with my Android NDK Opengl ES 2 project, but I'm not sure how to do it. I'm using Cygwin on Windows. I already searched and read a lot of stuff about it, but I still need help.
I exported some flags in cygwin:
$ export NDK_TOOLCHAIN=/cygdrive/d/Development/Android/ndk-standalone-15
$ export PATH="$NDK_TOOLCHAIN/bin/:$PATH"
$ export HOST=arm-linux-androideabi
$ export CC=$HOST-gcc
$ export CXX=$HOST-g++
$ export AR=$HOST-ar
$ export LD=$HOST-ld
$ export AS=$HOST-as
$ export NM=$HOST-nm
$ export STRIP=$HOST-strip
$ export RANLIB=$HOST-ranlib
$ export OBJDUMP=$HOST-objdump
$ export CPPFLAGS="--sysroot=$NDK_TOOLCHAIN/sysroot -I$NDK_TOOLCHAIN/sysroot/usr/include -I$NDK_TOOLCHAIN/include"
$ export LDFLAGS="-L$NDK_TOOLCHAIN/sysroot/usr/lib -L$NDK_TOOLCHAIN/lib"
And then I tried to cross-compile freetype:
$ ./configure --with-sysroot=/cygdrive/d/Development/Android/ndk-standalone-15/sysroot --host=$HOST --prefix=/ft2tmp --build=$BUILD --without-zlib --with-png=no
But I got an error:
FreeType build system -- automatic system detection
The following settings are used:
platform unix compiler
arm-linux-androideabi-gcc configuration directory ./builds/unix configuration rules ./builds/unix/unix.mkIf this does not correspond to your system or settings please remove the file `config.mk' from this directory then read the INSTALL file for help.
Otherwise, simply type
make' again to build the library, ormake refdoc' to build the API reference (the latter needs python).cd builds/unix; /bin/sh ./configure '--with-sysroot=/cygdrive/d/Development/Android/ndk-standalone-15/sysroot' '--host=arm-linux-androideabi' '--prefix=/ft2tmp' '--build=' '--without-zlib' '--with-png=no' checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-cygwin checking host system type... arm-unknown-linux-androideabi checking for arm-linux-androideabi-gcc... arm-linux-androideabi-gcc checking whether the C compiler works... no configure: error: in

Some of the config.log file:

So my question is how should I do this properly?
EDIT:
I used unset on CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS and used ./configure with --with-sysroot flag, and now it's doing okay. Next problem is that when I use
make
I get the following error:
