Hello,<br><br>I am trying to compile a Firebird UDF library with fpc 2.0.0 under on the amd64 architecture (precisely: ubuntu dapper preview release),<br>but unfortunately I hit bug 4733...<br>That is: The code compiles fine, but fails to link, here below the complete error:
<br><br><br>yves@dapper64:~/subversion/linux/UdfLib$ make<br>fpc -Sd UdfLib.dpr<br>Free Pascal Compiler version 2.0.0 [2005/05/15] for x86_64<br>Copyright (c) 1993-2005 by Florian Klaempfl<br>Target OS: Linux for x86-64<br>

I tried different makefiles but none seemed to
<br>make it for me...<br>(Generally, I am not even sure compiling with -fPIC will resolve my problem...)<br><br>I would be very thankful for any hint on how to get the code to link :-)<br><br>Best regards,<br>Yves<br><br>
<br>p.s.<br>I should mention that the mentioned UDF library builds, links and runs fine one the i386 platform (Tested on debian sarge and sid)<br>The debs I used to install fpc are these: <a href="ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/dist/i386-linux-2.0.0/deb/">
