Hi, just wanted to follow up on this for reference. I am one of the students now working on Dante’s former project. I believe I have identified the cause of this issue or at least was able to resolve it.
I went through the cross-compiler toolchain tutorial above, and noticed that the toolchain commands the tutorial helps setup were being shadowed by one from the package manager on our machine (apt). After removing the toolchain installed by the package manager, we refreshed our project files to point to the libraries in the toolchain the tutorial was recommending, and were able to run Dante’s software on the most recent Jessie image (20170323).
