Since commit 11ab5a3 of Examples/Chip-Tool, Compiling Examples/Chip-Tool through Ninja failed

[RudyGOGOGO]

Since this commit 11ab5a3, when I ran the following command suggested in this doc, I got the error "fatal error: readline/history.h: No such file or directory" which did not happen before the commit 11ab5a3 of Examples/Chip-Tool "Chip tool interactive(#16135)"
scripts/examples/gn_build_example.sh examples/chip-tool out/

Please check the attached file with all details about the error above

@vivien-apple @tcarmelveilleux @manjunath-grl @bluebin14 would you mind checking it for me?

[RudyGOGOGO]

looks like it happened because the new dependency was introduced libreadline-dev since 11ab5a3
After I installed it, it works for me.
It would be better to update the Installing prerequisites on Linux in https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip/blob/master/docs/guides/BUILDING.md

This needs fixing in the vscode image: we need chip-build-vscode to be able to compile all builds out of the box, right now it does not:

It looks like this is related to ARM specifically - our images compile for x64 but not for arm build cross-compiles.

I will for now add a noglob and will see about what needs to be done to add libreadline to the arm sysroot.

[andy31415]

created #17084 for the glob bit. The build requirements and arm sysroot will have to be done separately (hoping to get time soon ... but it is somewhat tedious).

[RudyGOGOGO]

@andy31415 I see you mentioned the cross-compile in your comment. I have got stuck for many days, I will appreciate any insight from you!

I am working on cross compiling the ChipTool for OpenWrt, I get the OpenWrt Cross Compiling Environment ready, however, I could not find an easy way to modify the BUILD.GN in order to use OpenWrt Cross Compiler as well as all other dependencies like headers

Would you mind providing some instructions or hints about how to cross compile the ChipTool for OpenWrt?

@RudyGOGOGO Have you find a way to cross compile the ChipTool for OpenWrt? Thank you.
