I am trying to "make" ioquake3 on IBM machine. But, I kept getting the "skipping incompatible /libSDL.a when searching for -lSDL" error. I am thee ultimate beginner at Linux, but not a quitter! I have no privileges to install any libraries, and our server admin is not responding for about a week now. So, I've been googling/testing for for a solution now. As the message said, the library that is on the system is incompatible. So, I went to the Ubuntu site, and downloaded SDL PPC library freshly. I uploaded, unpacked it into a designated folder. However, GCC doesn't know where those libraries are. So, I found something called "LD_LIBRARY_PATH="~/minoru/cfe2/yasirTemp/ioquake3dev/zzz/pkgs/usr/lib" to tell GCC where my libraries are. However, everytime I do a "make", I do not my "export" folder in the list.
Please help, even with a different way, just to fix my incompatible SDL library problem.
below is the output:
