Bug 108867 – workrave-1.8.1: compilation breaks with -fPIC missing

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Lukasz Ligowski 2005-10-11 07:16:57 UTC]

after emerge workrave compilation fails and complains about -fPIC  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. echo "app-misc/workrave ~amd64" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords 
2. emerge workrave   
   
Actual Results:  
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: .libs/libkworkraveapplet_la-kworkraveapplet.o: 
relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a 
shared object; recompile with -fPIC

!!! ERROR: app-misc/workrave-1.8.1-r1 failed. 
!!! Function gnome2_src_compile, Line 48, Exitcode 2 
!!! compile failure 
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status 
message. 

Expected Results:  
compile cleanly 

well adding -fPIC to /etc/make.conf solves the problem

Lukasz: Please always name the ebuild you're referring to in the summary.

[Comment 2 Leonardo Boshell (RETIRED) 2006-01-14 07:51:54 UTC]

Could you amd64 guys help me testing and providing a fix for this? Thanks.

[Comment 3 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) 2006-01-14 12:40:49 UTC]

not able to reproduce this with exactly the same use flags :/

[Comment 4 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) 2006-01-30 11:28:02 UTC]

Lukasz, can you still reproduce this error?

[Comment 5 Lukasz Ligowski 2006-02-06 04:22:14 UTC]

I've made a fresh install of workrave-1.8.1-r1 and it failed exactly at the same file.

[Comment 6 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) 2006-02-10 01:29:47 UTC]

Lukasz, please try it again with a newer version of binutils (2.16.1 is latest stable) and if it still fails, attach /var/tmp/portage/workrave-1.8.1-r1/work/workrave-1.8.1/config.log to the bug. I'm not able to reproduce this even with the same USE and CFLAGS, so I suspect it is binutils that causes problems

[Comment 7 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) 2006-02-10 01:30:53 UTC]

resolving as NEEDINFO for now, please reopen with the config.log if upgrading binutils doesn't help
