Hi Roger,
We built the libxvtmapi.a ourselves. Yes, I've tried deleting it and
rebuilding but I still get the file format not recognized error message.
The build procedure seems to work fine otherwise, though there are some
warning messages. That said, I haven't seen any warning messages that
seem to be related to this issue.
[If all else fails, try fixing the warnings anyway... :-)]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] testapp]$ objdump -p
outdir/debug/libxvtxmapi.a
In archive outdir/debug/libxvtxmapi.a:
objdump: tapp.o: File format not recognized
objdump: outdir/debug/libxvtxmapi.a: Malformed archive
This is the cause of the problem - the tapp.o file is not recognized.
One possible cause for this is that the compiler used to build the
tapp.o file is targeted at one particular processor type and the
binutils (including objdump and the linker) are targeted at a different
system type. To check this have a look at the output of "objdump
--help" and compare the supported targets list with the target
displayed as part of the output of "gcc --verbose".
Here is the tapp.o file:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] testapp]$ find . -name tapp.o
./xvtdsp55/linux_x86/src/ptk/CMakeFiles/xvtxmapid.dir/tapp.o
What does "objdump -p tapp.o" report ? Is it still unrecognized ? (If
not then this is very worrying. It would mean that placing the tapp.o
file into the libxvtxmapi.a archive has corrupted it).
How was tapp.o built ? (Ie what was the command line used to compile it
and to assemble it).
Cheers
Nick
