If you plan on deploying an application for FreeBSD 3.x+ it is recommended that you use ELF binaries, hence option 'b' is probably the best way to make your binary. -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@rush.net|alfred@freebsd.org] Wintelcom systems administrator and programmer - http://www.wintelcom.net/ [bright@wintelcom.net] On Sun, 29 Aug 1999, Andrew Sherrod wrote: > I was trying to compile a Motif application and (after some tinkering > with the -L and -I flags) almost succeeded in compiling it except for > the error : > > /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so: file not recognized: File format not > recognized > > A "file /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so" displays: > > /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so: symbolic link to libXm.so.1.2 > > A "file /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.1.2" displays: > > /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.1.2: FreeBSD/i386 compact demand paged > shared library not stripped > > The compiler command I am running is (and I realize I probably have more > -L and -I flags than I absolutely need): > > cc [program] -o [output] -I/usr/X11R6/include > -I/usr/X11R6/include/X11 -I/usr/X11R6/lib -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11 \ > -L/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/include/X11 -L/usr/X11R6/lib > -L/usr/X11R6/lib/X11 \ > -lXm -lXt -lX11 > > Four questions: > > 1) Is there something I am forgetting? > > 2) Is this library known to be borken?
