64-bit machine

[Blue Prawn]

Hi,
Someone have tryed to build the ocaml wrapper on a 64-bit machine, and has reported this error:

Code: Select all

ocamlc -c -cc "gcc -static  -O3 -std=gnu99 -ffast-math -o wrap_chipmunk.o"  wrap_chipmunk.c

ocamlmklib  \
            -L/usr/local/    -L/usr/local/lib  \
            -o  _chipmunk_stubs   wrap_chipmunk.o  \
            -ccopt -O3   -ccopt -std=gnu99   -ccopt -ffast-math  \
            -lchipmunk  -lchipmunk_static

/usr/bin/ld: wrap_chipmunk.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' 
can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
wrap_chipmunk.o: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [dll_chipmunk_stubs.so] Error 2

Does someone know how to manage these kind of problems ?

Never seen an error like that. Does Chipmunk itself compile fine on their machine?

Well, I suppose that if he had problems with chipmunk itself he would have given the related errors...
so I suppose it is a problem related to the wrapper, but I'm not very experienced with C, and moreover not with those 64-bit machines

Just met some problems compiling ruby extensions for rev.144 on Ubuntu Linux x64 ( see output below ).
Adding -fPIC complier flag does the trick :

./CMakeLists.txt:set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -std=gnu99 -fPIC") # allways use gnu99

though either way I get tons of warnings like

/home/tsvigun/devenv/chipmunk/errdemo/trunk/src/cpCollision.c: In function ‘findVerts’:
/home/tsvigun/devenv/chipmunk/errdemo/trunk/src/cpCollision.c:174: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size
/home/tsvigun/devenv/chipmunk/errdemo/trunk/src/cpCollision.c:180: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size

Do I miss something? Not that it is a real problem, binding library built this way works ok, just a bit worried.
