Bug 104694 – If I want emerge tiff or freetype I must use -fPIC

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Francesco 2005-09-03 03:57:25 UTC]

If I try to emerge tiff or freetype on amd64, emerge crash. It require the -fPIC
flag. If I use "CFLAGS="+fPIC" emerge tiff" it works.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge tiff
[error]
1.emerge freetype
Actual Results:  
Emerge crash. It says that I must use the -fPIC flag.

Expected Results:  
Compile the program normally. It shouldn't ask me the -fPIC flag.

My make.conf
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=k8 -pipe -O2"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
USE="amd64 X bash-completion gtk gtk2 gnome kde qt alsa"

Please file bugs about packages in Gentoo Linux product, not Bugzilla. 
 
And please provide more info, as I don't think that "emerge crashed", probably 
it just failed to compile, so please provide a log.

Yes, it crash when compile. I've try to emerge tiff and freetype for give you
the log files, but now they doesn't display this error. I've see it 4 days ago.

you neglected to post `emerge info` like the bug report page told you to

we also cant guess ... you need to post the actual error message

[Comment 4 Francesco 2005-09-05 02:58:09 UTC]

It's resolved. Adding -O2 in make.conf it doesn't give me those errors.

[Comment 5 Jim Laflin 2005-09-05 03:40:15 UTC]

Francesco. You had -O2 in your make.conf in the initial report

PS. 
emerge info
Is much more helpful

Jim

Now I can compile tiff and freetype using -02 or not. I don't understand...
