Error Compiling under Cygwin

Hi,

I get the following error while trying to compile under cygwin

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-mingw32/3.2/…/…/…/…/i686-pc-mingw32/bin/ld:
.libs/libSDL.lax/libhermes.al/mmxp2_32.lo: bad reloc address 0x87 in
section .text' make[2]: *** [libSDL.la] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory/home/crchandl/src/SDL-1.2.6/src’
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/crchandl/src/SDL-1.2.6/src’
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Any idea on what could be causing this?

Cheers

I had this same problem. The only way I could solve it was to not use
assembly stuff.

Remove nasm.exe(or rename it temporarily).
make clean
rerun ./configure and re make it.

This says to get nasm from:
http://www.libsdl.org/extras/win32/cygwin/nasm.exe

I haven’t tried this version of nasm yet. It’s worth a shot though; I’ll
probably try it out in the near future.

I did actually grab the nasm.exe from the cygwin site, i’ll try again
with a make clean and a reconfigure (i thought i did but i’ll do again
just to be sure) if that doesn’t work i’ll try it without nasm.exe and
let you all know.

Well it wouldn’t compile with the nasm.exe from the SDL website but it
compiled using the --diable-nasm option for configure, thanks for the
pointers everyone

I’m also willing to try any solutions to get it to compile with nasm…
