[SOLVED] building shared libary in 32 bit mode on 64 bit machine using -m32 option

Hi,

I am trying to build one shared library in 32 bit mode on 64 bit machine. I am able to compile source files using -m32 option, but not able to link these objects files to get .so.

Here, i am also using some static libraries which have been compiled on 32 bit machine, so i am assuming there is no need to compile these libraries again ( using -m32 switch ).

It fails during linking.

Thanks,
Gaurav

Problem solved.

I installed glibc-devel-2.5-49.i386.rpm package. Now, i have all the libraries and headers files required for 32 bit compilation on x86_64 machine.

Thanks everyone.
