compiling on linux x86_64
compiling on linux x86_64
i have to move a small oda utility from a linux i386 machine to a x86_64 running centos 5.1. does anyone know if it is possible to compile the application on the x86_64 machine?
thanks,
mark
on our linux download page there are dwgdirect libraries for x64.

yes, but they are for gcc 3.4.3.
also, your jan 25 announcement says that support for x64 gcc 4.2 platform is being added. what distribution is that aimed for? red hat enterprise linux 5.1 (and its clones like centos) use gcc 4.1.
thanks,

we had a client request for the 4.2 compiler. we will add a 4.1 version as well as part of the next maintenance release.

that's fantastic. thanks very much.
will someone test the new versions by using them to compile the sample applications? if so, can the makefiles for the sample applications be included in the nonlibs package?
thanks again,
we build and test a set of sample applications for all of our supported platforms using a make utility called jam, but we don't distribute jamfiles with our binary release. there is sample unix makefile included in dd_nonlibs.tar.gz under projectfiles/unix.

yes, i've used the sample makefile to build the sample application that it was written for (although it needs some editing to get it to work). i've also been able to adapt it for some, but not all, of the other samples apps. some of them i have never been able to compile.
if working unix makefiles could be provided for all the samples then unix users would be able to use the samples as a starting point, just like the windows users can.
or do you recommend using jam instead? i don't know much about it but if it makes it easier to compile c++ programs i'm willing to try. would i need the jamfiles or is it trivial to write them?
in particular, i've been eager to modify the oddwfexportex sample for our use, but i've never been able to get the sample to compile.
