[BuildTools] COIN/OR on a 64-bit machine

[Andreas Waechter]

Hi Cumhur,

The BuildTools mailing list is not meant for bug reports, it is meant for 
the developers of the COIN BuildTools to communicate.

To handle your problem, please submit a ticket at the BuildTools trac 
page (https://projects.coin-or.org/BuildTools).  This also allows you to 
attach large files if necessary.  To submit a ticket you first need to 
register and log in (see http://www.coin-or.org/usingTrac.html)

As for your particular problem, from the make output it seems to me that 
you are working on a SUN?  I have no experience working with GNU compilers 
on a SUN (wny not using the native sun compilers?).  You might try to 
compile static libraries instead of shared libraries (by specifying 
--disable-shared), since the error message appears during the linkage of 
the shared library, and you observed the warning message regarding shared 
libraries in your configure output.

When you submit a ticket, make sure you include information about your 
operating system, the compiler (incl. version) you are using, which 
version of the COIN code you are trying to compile etc.

Regards,

Andreas
