Also tried with latest unstable with same result.

[Comment 1 Matt 2007-10-20 19:56:15 UTC]

you actually tried to add -fPIC to your cflags & cxxflags temporarily as suggested ?

[Comment 2 Matt 2007-10-20 19:57:57 UTC]

sorry for the "double-comment":

I forgot: eselect opengl set xorg-x11

after that it built for me

don't forget to set it back!

[Comment 3 Michael Henry 2007-12-26 19:55:25 UTC]

I have this same issue.

Not sure if it's related, but the build seems to expect X11 libraries to be installed.  The box I'm installing it on is headless.  Regardless even after installing the libraries (just to see) it won't build, same error as above.

[Comment 4 Dean 2008-08-25 03:19:11 UTC]

I had the same problem with 1.8.0-r1 on AMD x86_64. Added -fPIC to CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS and the package built properly.

See http://gentoo-wiki.com/CflagsExceptions for a half-way decent write-up of how to enable package-specific CFLAGS.  This is a good idea since fPIC is dangerous to some packages.

[Comment 5 Jeremy Olexa (darkside) (RETIRED) 2008-12-08 02:20:01 UTC]

installs just fine on my non-hardened host. re-assigning to hardened, I guess. 

[Comment 6 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2009-07-22 23:23:53 UTC]

mjpegtools-1.9.0 is stable on all arch's; this bug is obsolete with provided information.

if there's new issues with 1.9.0, I suggest opening a new bug.
