64 bit compatibility

[sonofdubya]

Hi,
Just built the library on Fedora 12 x64 system, and tried to compile one of the test progs, it caused bin-utils to crash. The precompiled dependencies (LibNewton.a, LibSDLmain.a, Libangelscript.a) that appear to need linking - wouldn't compile without em - are compiled for 32bit architecture. Problemo! Is there a way around this? Is the LibNewton the same one that appears at http://www.newtondynamics.com or is it an in house special. Need to know, as I spent a couple of hours today sorting things out, and was looking forward to having a play with the HPL1 engine. Now I am like the proverbial boy whose lost his toys.

many thanks

As has been discussed on several threads before.. Due to newton and angelcode no 64bit version can be produced.

LibNewton (version 1.53) is 32bit only. the 2.0 "in development" release has a 64bit port, but the HPL1 Engine would need to have the newton portions ported to it.. (there is actually a branch in the git repository where another user has contributed his "first" attempt at it).

Also the angelscript scripting library needs to be updated to a newer version that supports 64bit.

Once those two components are "updated" , then a native 64bit version can be made for Linux.. otherwise you have to build a 32bit exectable.

Sorry for the annoyance,

I'll investigate your pointers when I return from my hols (Scotland), hope it doesn't rain. Many thanks for your patience.
