I'm trying to cross compile aws webrtc library(https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-video-streams-webrtc-sdk-c) for arm. So I followed the instruction on Readme.md but I failed.
What I did
export CC=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc
export CXX=arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++
cmake .. -DBUILD_TEST=TRUE -DBUILD_OPENSSL=TRUE -DBUILD_STATIC_LIBS=TRUE -DBUILD_OPENSSL_PLATFORM=linux-generic32 -DBUILD_LIBSRTP_HOST_PLATFORM=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu -DBUILD_LIBSRTP_DESTINATION_PLATFORM=arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi
The error I encountered

Something is wrong with your ARM toolchain or how the build system uses it. Where did you get it from and how did you install it?
The header sys/capability.h is included with the ARM toolchain. For example, when I install the Debian package gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf then this header file gets copied to /usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include/linux/capability.h. The toolchain is supposed to find it there on its own.
The command arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -v will show you where the toolchain is configured to look for its own header files. E.g. in output below it's --includedir=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include that matters, the header should be found relative to this directory. I apologize for the super long line.
$ arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -v

You can also try increasing the verbosity of your cmake build process to verify that it's calling the right cross compiler. I've forgotten the details, but perhaps adding a flag -v will help.
