Unable to compile on Fedora Core 3 x86_64

[TetryonX]

Yeah I know this is probably redundant as hell, but this is quite an annoyance that configure isn't catching properly.

/usr/bin/ld: warning: i386 architecture of input file `chips/sfxproc.o' is incompatible with i386:x86-64 output
...
/usr/bin/ld: warning: i386 architecture of input file `effects/smoke.o' is incompatible with i386:x86-64 output

Any nasm or yasm (for that matter and completely disregarded optimization) compiled 64 bit things are not being accepted by ld. I can do ./configure --target=x86_64, but it will complain. Hell I even tried passing -m32 to gcc as another thread asked to be checked. Definitely a no go still.

Ok whatever, lets build with ./configure --target=i386

./configure --target=i386

Is this a no-win situation?

Hmm snooping through the config.log and ./configure script, i passed ./configure --target=x86_64-linux to get pass that stupid check, which that worked. But again it configured itself for i386 nasm-output. I'll keep picking at this for now. Anyone know any flags for nasm to force it to output 64 bit code?

Ok so now I can compile this (oh joy) by using yasm, removing optimizations, and passing -m amd64. HOWEVER, I cannot run this at all because it crashes with Illegal instruction. This is probably caused by my kernel not being optimized for amd64 (I am lazy but if it comes to it I'll recompile the kernel... sorta fitting for the dependancy hell of fedora core)... I digress. Anyhow here is the strace zsnes 2> out.log: http://www.cs.rit.edu/~spb3698/zsnes.crash.log

./configure --target=i386-linux still outputs 64bit code with or without -m32... actually that flag causes a whole shit load of undefined references to what appears to what should be standard c calls. Could be another Fedora Core issue though...
And here is the error messages from doing -m32 with the gcc/g++ calls, and using nasm (unchanged): http://www.cs.rit.edu/~spb3698/zsnes.makelog.log
No... I do not know c/c++ yet, nor what the hell I am doing.

I am trying to compile on SuSe linux 9.2, the 64 bit edition, and am having the exact same problems. The configure script says it is optimizing for 386, and it won't run once I make the program. Do any of the developers have any advice for us?

My advice is to get GCC to output 32 bit code, and get a 32 bit linker.

I made some changes today which should make the AMD64 NX bit happy with ZSNES now, but I can't test it.
