Compile error: wrong machine type

[dpm]

I'm trying to create a simple X Windows/openGL executable on an SCO Unix
machine and get the following error when running make:

/u/[path]/lib/libGL.a (g_render.o): fatal error: /u/[path]/lib/libGL.a
(g_render.o): wrong machine type
***Error code 1 (bu21)

Thanks for any help.

I'm trying to create a simple X Windows/openGL executable on an SCO Unix
machine and get the following error when running make:

Since C is a portable language the machine/OS should not matter. If it
does you're probably off-topic.

/u/[path]/lib/libGL.a (g_render.o): fatal error: /u/[path]/lib/libGL.a
(g_render.o): wrong machine type
***Error code 1 (bu21)

Oh yeah, you're off-topic. This is a question about how a particular
tool-chain finds libraries and is not at all specified by the C language
which we discuss here.

You might try a newsgroup that discusses your tool-chain/platform.

By the way, libraries are not guaranteed to be portable across
platforms. The same with graphics.
