在Fedora 20 x86_64上编译32位linux应用程序时使用sndfile库

Question

I'm currently using Fedora 20 x86_64. I've built libsndfile with these commands:

sudo ./configure BASE_FLAGS=-32
sudo make
sudo make install

This all goes well and I can find the compiled library in /usr/local/lib. I want to use this in an application that will be built in 32bit. The problem occurs when I try to compile that application. I get the following error:

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /builddir/Code/Platformer/../Dependencies/libsndfile/lib/Linux/libsndfile.so when searching for -lsndfile  
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /builddir/Code/Platformer/../Dependencies/libsndfile/lib/Linux/libsndfile.a when searching for -lsndfile
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsndfile

The "skipping incompatible" might suggest that I'm doing something wrong when compiling sndfile but since I'm kind of new to this I can't find what it is. I tried different configurations but they all have the same result.

If this needs more code or something, let me know what you need.

For anyone with the same problem - try to look here:

ld cannot find an existing library

Generally there is probably a symlink missing, because the '-devel' library is not istalled. That is why

sudo yum install libsndfile-devel.*

fixed it for me.
