This is really a "crossbuilding for aarch64" rather than a QEMU issue; in general for this kind of thing I suspect you're more likely to find people who know the answer on the Linaro mailing lists, eg linaro-...@lists.linaro.org. You've clearly already found at least some resources, so your best bet for getting this question answered is to make a focused post to linaro-dev saying specifically "I tried X (as suggested in url Y) to get a version of glib for aarch64 but it didn't work with error message Z." > Anyways, I want to know how we can resolve this dependency ? > > Some of you might suggest to cross-compile the glib-2.12 When the message says "2.12" it doesn't mean "exactly and only that version", it means "2.12 or any later version". You're probably more likely to be successful with something more recent. That said, I wouldn't try a cross-compile completely from scratch from upstream sources personally. You really want to be working with whatever is your cross toolchain's recommended method for getting dependencies and building against them. This can differ a lot depending on how your cross environment is supposed to work. thanks -- PMM
