/usr/bin/ld: /PDFIUM-Binary/lib/libpdfium.so: error adding symbols: file in wrong format

[raphael10-collab]

With this architecture:

raphy@raohy:~$ dpkg --print-architecture
amd64
raphy@raohy:~$ uname -m
x86_64

I downloaded and extracted this folder : https://github.com/bblanchon/pdfium-binaries/releases/latest/download/pdfium-v8-linux-x86.tgz

I specified the path in .bashrc :

export PDFium_DIR="/home/raphy/PDFIUM-Binary"

And in CMakeLists.txt of the project I would like to use the pdfium-binaries I've added:

find_package(PDFium)
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} PUBLIC
    pdfium
)

Rebuilding the project I get this error message:

raphy@raohy:~/wx-webview$ cmake --build builddir

O.S. : Ubuntu 23.10

How to make it work?

Hi @raphael10-collab,

Your architecture is x64, but you downloaded the x86 tarball.

As far as we are concerned, x64, x86_64, and amd64 are synonyms. I use x64 because it's the name used in Chromium.

Best regards, Benoit

Thank you @bblanchon I downloaded pdfium-v8-linux-x64.tgz and the error disappeared
