Summary: FLAC's xmms plugin fails, maybe relocation/fPIC problem?

Description:   Opened: 2004-02-24 03:40 0000
After emerging flac-1.1.0, launching XMMS gives the following message in the
console:

/usr/lib/xmms/Input/libxmms-flac.so: R_PPC_REL24 relocation at 0x0f4ef238 for
symbol `malloc' out of range

I have come across similar errors with packages in the past, and they are
caused by a program not being built with the "-fPIC" compiler flag. I note that
the flac ebuild adds this flag when building on hppa, I will do the same thing
and see how it goes.

Reproducible: Always

Okay, that worked.

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.

it should have -fPIC regardless of the arch... I'll take this...

please verify that the -r1 ebuild works for you.

no response, but the new ebuild works on my sparc, so I'm marking fixed.

------- Comment #5 From John Steele Scott 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.

ok... it's in there for all archs.
