Newton2 linux64

[melven]

With Newton2 - beta 17 I get the following error when I try to compile my project:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libNewton.a(Newton.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `NewtonCollisionTree::GetIntersectingPolygons(dgPolygonSoupDesc&)' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/local/lib/libNewton.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I use shared libraries in my project. So I think libNewton.a needs to be compiled with the -fPIC flag in linux64, or do you know another solution?

No response? im getting errors like

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: i386 architecture of input file `../../sdk/libNewton.a(dgFile.o)' is incompatible with i386:x86-64 output

and

any ideas?

the first quetsion was answerered in a PM.

as for your question , it looks like you are linking a 32 bit lib.
