Subject: GCC on linux, question on -m32 switch
I am using GCC 3.2.3 on a Linux Sparc system. The program I am
working on needs to be compiled in 32 bit mode for historical reasons. I
have added the -m32 switch to all the makefiles in the project.
The project creates a couple of its own libraries. The makefiles
for these libraries contain the standard lines
libsupport.a: $(OBJ)
ar rc libsupport.a $(OBJ)
ranlib libsupport.a
The .c files compiled to create the OBJ files are compiled with
the -m32 switch. The problem arises at link time. I get the message
skipping incompatible support/libsupport.a when searching for -lsupport
Looking through the online documentation for the -m32 switch I
don't see any references to additional needed switches. Do I need to do
something else???
