Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

It appears you are compiling for 64-bit software, but the libraries the compiler is finding are for 32-bit software.

You either need to recompile your code in 32-bit mode so you can use the existing libraries, or you need to install (or locate) and specify where the 64-bit version of the libraries are.

For the 32-bit build, you could use:

BITTINESS = -m32
CC = cc ${BITTINESS}
CXX = c++ ${BITTINESS}

You could override on the command line with 'make BITTINESS=-m64' if you later wanted to.

There may also be other ways to specify that you want some sort of universal binary - but you will still need to locate versions of the WX (and QuickTime) libraries with support for x86_64 if you want to build for that architecture.

For a dylib, use file:

$ file /usr/lib/libffi.dylib
/usr/lib/libffi.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 3 architectures
/usr/lib/libffi.dylib (for architecture x86_64):    Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64
/usr/lib/libffi.dylib (for architecture i386):  Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386
/usr/lib/libffi.dylib (for architecture ppc7400):   Mach-O dynamically linked shared library ppc
$

For an archive, extract an object file:

$ file libjlss-350.a
libjlss-350.a: current ar archive random library
$ ar x libjlss-350.a stuint8.o
$ file stuint8.o
stuint8.o: Mach-O 64-bit object x86_64
$

i added -m32 now but I am getting new errors.. I edited my last post

This is the converse problem; those libraries are 64-bit, I think. So, you have to get a coherent set of libraries - either all 32-bit or all 64-bit (or some can be universal as long as they have both 32-bit and 64-bit Intel versions of the code in place).

Hi, How do I check if VTK was built 64-bit only?

Chris 2010-09-14 17:24:58

Hey Jonathan, I got it working. I just compiled VTK as universal and now everything runs perfectly. Thanks a lot!
