Description Jordan Newman 2003-05-11 11:59:16 UTC
Proftpd fails to compile with -fPIC flag.

Adding the following to the top of the ebuild file fixes the problem:

inherit flag-o-matic

filter-flags -fPIC

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. set cflags to include -fPIC
2. emerge proftpd


Actual Results:  
doesnt compile.

Expected Results:  
should compile.

Why would you be using -fPIC with it?

You should _never_ _ever_ set -fPIC manually. Stripping -fPIC from every ebuild that breaks with it would be an endless job...
