    compilation problem

    Hi all,

    I am experiencing the following problem.

    I was compiling my program on an operating system, and it compiled ok, without errors. I did not check if it was 32 bit or 64 bit architecture. But, it must be 32 bit, because,

    Now my current system is

    x86_64 GNU/Linux

    and when I try to compile the same program on this system, I receive the following error:

    /usr/bin/ld: i386 architecture of input file `../../../..//libs/ftt-master.linux.a(math_tools.linux.o)' is incompatible with i386:x86-64 output''

    Any help in this regard, how can I resolve this problem.


    Thanks,

    Well if you want the result to be 32-bit, then you'll need to install a 64bit to 32bit cross-compiler on your system.

    Otherwise, make sure all your component libraries are 64-bit (by compiling them yourself perhaps).
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Hi thanks for the reply.

    I am on a 64-bit system, and would like the result to be 32-bit. Could you give me some specific direction in this regard ...

    thanks,

    My search was returning the compiling for 64 bit from 32 bit and other such options, ... , and I thought probably you were referring to the same, ..., therefore I tried to be specific by sending the last reply ... but any ways, thanks for your help
