  • 1.  ncurses 64 bits

    Hi,

    I need to install gnu ncurses library in 64 bits mode, but I don't really know how to compile it in that mode (I was only able to do it in 32 bits, so it's not compatible with the application library in 64), nor the correct options for .configure script neither if I have to modify any more options for the compiler and linker in the Makefile files...

    Is it possible that the library is not valid for 64 bit architecture? Any idea about this?

    Please, any answer will help me with this issue.

    Thanks in advance and regards,
    Pablo.

    I could do it: "./configure CC='cc -q64' AR='ar -X64'"
    Many thanks to everybody.

    it's often more appropriate to use
    export OBJECT_MODE=64
    to produce 64 bit programs (this environment variable implies not only -q64 on compiler invocations, but on other tools too, which may be used in a compilation process).
    That way it's easier to deal with complicated makefiles for instance.
