Bug 66156 – wxhaskell does not compile on Amd64

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Andreas Laestadius 2004-10-02 13:43:48 UTC]

I don't know if it is even supposed to compile on x86_64 but I gave it a shot and it don't so here is the bug report.

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: out/wxc/ewxw_main.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
out/wxc/ewxw_main.o: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [out/wxc/libwxc-gtk2.4.2-0.8.so] Error 1

!!! ERROR: dev-haskell/wxhaskell-0.8 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 57, Exitcode 2
!!! make failed

I tried with and without -fPIC in make.conf.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -v /usr/portage/dev-haskell/wxhaskell/wxhaskell-0.8.ebuild

Yes, the wxhaskell Makefile seems to ignore CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS settings.
A manually patched build (and adding -fPIC) runs through on my amd64 machine 
-- I will try to add the fix to the ebuild during the next days ...

Fixed in CVS. It builds for me on an amd64 machine. I haven't run
any real test for wxhaskell, though, because I have remote login only
and testing GUI programs would be relatively slow. Therefore, please
complain if it segfaults on you immediately.

Closing for now.
