File is not of required architecture

[Jan Gustafsson]

Hi!

First, thanks for your tips. I have been trying to


 1.  compile my application as a 64 bit application
 2.  compile GMP in 32 bit mode (using gmp-4.3.1.tar.bz2)

Both have failed :(. In case 1, ld complained (warning: file is not of required architecture). In case 2. I couldn't get GMP to compile with 32 bits. I have been playing around with the -arch, m32/64 and ABI options.

At some point I decided to upgrade the standard Apple gcc (4.0.1) to gcc 4.2, which I installed using MacPorts. The nice thing was that MacPorts also installed gmp 4.3.1. And the libs installed by MacPorts link perfectly with my application.

So, problem is solved.

Kind regards,

Jan G

Yes, the error means that one tries to link code of different
architectures. On 10.5, gcc defaults to 32-bit, and on 10.6 to 64-bit.
