I note that the flac ebuild adds this flag when building on hppa, I will do the same thing and see how it goes.

On line 42 of the flac-1.1.0.ebuild, where it adds -fPIC if we have xmms and X on hppa, it needs to do that for ppc as well. eradicator@gentoo.org 2004-04-05 14:45:58 0000 it should have -fPIC regardless of the arch... I'll take this... eradicator@gentoo.org 2004-04-07 19:24:43 0000 please verify that the -r1 ebuild works for you. eradicator@gentoo.org 2004-04-11 23:59:40 0000 no response, but the new ebuild works on my sparc, so I'm marking fixed. toojays@toojays.net 2004-04-18 06:22:00 0000 Sorry for the late reply. -r1 does not fix the problem on my ppc. I still need to add -fPIC to CFLAGS the same way the hppa people do. eradicator@gentoo.org 2004-04-18 11:58:37 0000 ok... it's in there for all archs.
