HadiM,
Well I got the GobiAPI stuff to compile. Not sure what to do with it
though...
Here is what i did:
I didn't have any 32 bit stuff installed so I had to:

sudo apt-get install libc6-dev-i386 g++-multilib

Installling those two made it so I could "make" GobiImageMgmt and
GobiConnectionManager

GobiQDLService needed some hacking of the Makefile.

Change the install line so it looks like this:

INCLUDES=-I ../Shared -I ../Core -L. -lCore -lpthread -lrt

I needed to add the -lpthread and move the -lrt to the end. It now
compiles. But I'm not sure what to do with it though. Also, it compiles as
x86 and I am running x86-64. Not sure that matters but. If you have any
insight as to what to do with this that would be great.


Rob
