I'm new to programming/linux and trying to install BLT2.4, which is needed for another program that will be installed later. First, I successfully installed tcl8.3 tk8.3 and their dev counterparts on my 64-bit Ubuntu machine. I then tried configuring BLT2.4y with the command:
./configure --with-tcl=/usr/lib/tcl8.3 --with-tk=/usr/lib/tk8.3
and get several messages like this when I make:
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux gnu/4.7/../../../../lib/libtk8.3.so when searching for -ltk8.3
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.7/../../../libtk8.3.a when searching for -ltk8.3
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libtk8.3.so when searching for -ltk8.3
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libtk8.3.a when searching for -ltk8.3
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltk8.3
I get the same kind of messages for ltcl8.3. After hours of searching and trying different fixes (using symlinks, installing multilib, etc.), I've had no success.
It might have something to do with the makefile, which is generated automatically from makefile.in after configure. I've tried suggestions like "CFLAGS=-m32" makefile changes but no dice. This is my makefile right after configure:
CC = gcc
CFLAGS = -O6
EXTRA_CFLAGS = -Wall -fPIC
DEFINES =
DEF_BLTINIT = -DBLT_LIBRARY=\"$(scriptdir)\"
SHLIB_LD_FLAGS = -rdynamic
SHLIB_LD_LIBS = -ltk8.3 -ltcl8.3 -lX11 -lm -lnsl
SHLIB_LD = cc -pipe -shared
LDFLAGS =
prefix = /usr
exec_prefix = /usr
libdir = $(exec_prefix)/lib
bindir = $(exec_prefix)/bin
srcdir = ./..
instdirs = $(exec_prefix) $(libdir)
scriptdir = /usr/lib/blt2.4
LIBS = -ltk8.3 -ltcl8.3 -lX11 -lm -lnsl
TCL_ONLY_LIBS = -ltcl8.3 -lm -lnsl
What changes (if any) should I make to the makefile/makefile.in, linking, etc so this will compile? Just wanted to mention again that I am generally new to linux/programming in general. Any suggestions to resolve this is greatly appreciated.
