Bug 124222 – dictd-1.10.0 -fPIC

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jose daLuz 2006-02-26 19:09:57 UTC]

Emerging dictd-1.10.0 I get the following error:

x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc heap.os dictdplugin_dbi.os str.os plugins_common.os strlcpy.os strlcat.os \
           -Llibmaa -lmaa  -ldl -lz -ldbi -ldl -shared -o dictdplugin_dbi.so

libmaa/libmaa.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [dictdplugin_dbi.so] Error 1

Since it's a new portage feature, I tried disabling confcache but that had no impact on the problem.

I can't seem to reproduce this here, maybe this isn't an issue with gcc 4. I will try again tomorrow on a gcc3 box.

I can't reproduce this on either gcc3 or gcc4, could you please attach the full output when you try to emerge the package?

[Comment 3 Jose daLuz 2006-03-01 09:50:52 UTC]

Output of emerge dictd

[Comment 4 Luis Medinas (RETIRED) 2006-03-01 10:05:48 UTC]

i also don't have this problem. I don't think its a good idea to build a patch for this case.

[Comment 5 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) 2006-03-01 10:09:42 UTC]

the output of /var/tmp/portage/dictd-1.10.0/work/dictd-1.10.0/config.log would be helpful, if you could attach that too... tia

[Comment 6 Jose daLuz 2006-03-01 10:13:26 UTC]

[Comment 7 Patrick McLean 2006-03-01 11:12:39 UTC]

maa:             local
zlib:            system
regex:           system
plugin support:  native
 judy plugin:    disabled
 dbi plugin:     enabled

looks like an automagic dependency, my system didn't have the dbi plugin enabled, and the package has no USE flags

[Comment 8 Patrick McLean 2006-03-01 11:16:34 UTC]

app-dicts: please fix the automagic dep so we can properly fix the fPIC issues

[Comment 9 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) 2006-06-22 13:49:40 UTC]

one man one word: one bug one issue

(bug 137653 handles the automagic deps now)

[Comment 10 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) 2006-08-25 08:07:29 UTC]

in case bug 137653 ever gets fixed, please reopen this one

As requested. The automagic stuff is fixed in dictd-1.10.9.

[Comment 12 Wulf Krueger (RETIRED) 2007-08-18 12:24:01 UTC]

As the fPIC issue was fixed as well by my commit yesterday, I'm resolving this as fixed.
