Please reply by mail as my machine is not on USENET. we are currently porting a multi-pathing device driver to linux on powerpc64 architecture. (more specifically redhat enterprise linux 3.0) Our driver compiles and works fine on IA-64 , AMD-64 and other 32 bit linux architectures. We also have a utility that we use with the driver. The utility shares a data structure with the driver code and sends ioctls to the driver. The driver is a 64 Bit MSB executable and works fine. I need to compile the utility as a 64 bit executable too. However I cannot get it to link properly to the right 64 bit glibc library. I have gcc 3.2.3 on my powerpc system. This is a bi-arch compiler that ships with the RHEL distribution. I was wondering if you had clues as to how I could get the utility to compile and link as a 64 bit executable. I have tried the -m64 compiler option and the -m elf64ppc option to the linker. I get the following errors when I try compiling the utility. /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc-lib/ppc64-redhat-linux/3.2.3/../../../libc.so when searching for -lc /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc-lib/ppc64-redhat-linux/3.2.3/../../../libc.a when searching for -lc /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libc.so when searching for -lc /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libc.a when searching for -lc /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [mppUtil] Error 1 thanks, smitha __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
