Attempting to compile a GNU library on OS X for 32 and 64 bit

Question

thanks in advance for any help on this, I have scoured the web and can't quite get this to work.

I am trying to compile from source the libgcrypt library from GNU on a mac running OS X 10.9.4. I need to compile to a 32 bit binary which I will later use lipo to blend with the 64 bit one (I have the 64 bit part working). I am trying to be able to reference the libgcrypt binary from both 32 and 64 bit programs. Link here: http://www.gnu.org/software/libgcrypt/

I have grabbed an un-tared the source.

I have used the following configure:

$ ./configure -host=i386-apple-darwin10.5.0 CFLAGS='-arch i386' LDFLAGS='-arch i386'

Which results in:

    Libgcrypt v1.6.2 has been configured as follows:

    Platform:                  Darwin (i386-apple-darwin10.5.0)
    Hardware detection module: hwf-x86
    Enabled cipher algorithms: arcfour blowfish cast5 des aes twofish

    Try using DRNG (RDRAND):   yes
    Try using Intel AVX:       yes
    Try using Intel AVX2:      yes
    Try using ARM NEON:        n/a

But when I try and make (or sudo make), boom!

Many, many thanks in advance for any help.

Okay, I have solved this, and hopefully other folks will find this of interest.

The configure flags above aren't quite right. The proper configure command is (-m32 is needed):

./configure -host=i386-apple-darwin CFLAGS='-arch i386 -m32 ' LDFLAGS='-arch i386 -m32 '

This will properly compile. FYI, In order for the 32-bit libgcrypt library to compile, you will need a 32 bit version of libgpg-error.

With the 32 bit versions of these libraries compiled, I used lipo to blend the 32-bit and 64-bit versions so that both 32-bit programs and 64-bit programs can both access these libraries.

lipo -create ./libgcrypt.20.dylib /usr/local/lib/libgcrypt.20.dylib -output /tmp/libgcrypt.20.dylib

sudo mv /tmp/libgcrypt.20.dylib /usr/local/lib/libgcrypt.20.dylib
