What were you trying to do?
I was trying to compile an old C program of mine written using
glut libraries.
What's wrong:
The compiler displayed the following error message:
/mit/glut/arch/sgi_62/lib/libglut.a -lGLU -lGL -lXmu -lXext -lX11 -lm
-limage ld32: FATAL 12: Expecting n32 objects:
/mit/glut/arch/sgi_62/lib/libglut.a(glut_win.o) is o32. *** Error
code 2 (bu21)
At the very beginning if this summer, I compiled the program
without a problem. I tried again in August and was given this error
message. I contacted an olc consultant who said that the problem is
probably due to the version of Irix running on the SGIs having been
updated. They said the libraries built with the older Irix might not
be compatible with the newer version. I have no space in which to
recompile the libraries myself (although I am considering trying to
figure something out) to see if this is indeed the problem. However,
if it is, it seems that it would make sense for the files in the glut
locker to be rebuilt. I would grateful for any help you can provide.
Thanks.
What should have happened:
The program should have compiled without error.
