Bug 650624 – x11-libs/motif-2.3.8-r1 stable request

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ulrich Müller 2018-03-16 08:05:56 UTC]

Version 2.3.8 is in the tree since 3 months without any bugs reported. Only change in motif-2.3.8-r1 is disabling of Xprint support (which is dead since almost a decade).

Thanks in advance.

I get this build error:

I get the same error if I rebuild the already installed x11-libs/motif-2.3.7

Rebuilding sys-devel/flex-2.6.4-r1 solved all that, figured I mention that
in case someone else runs into the same problem.

This is a known issue, see bug 583842. You try to link libfl.a (which contains main()) that has been compiled with -nopie against motif object files compiled with -pie. This typically happens when sys-devel/flex wasn't rebuilt after changing from a 13.0 to a 17.0 profile.

That's the obvious solution.

Thank's a lot, your comment saved my day.
The search did not show me the bug linked by Ulrich.
