Description Mikko Tiihonen 2003-10-30 04:39:34 UTC

If x11-wm/metacity-2.6.2 is not built with -fPIC, or more specifically the
libmetacity-private.a library of the metacity, the bulding of
gnome-base/control-center-2.4.0 fails with the following error:

ld: ../../capplets/common/.libs/libcommon.a(gradient.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S
can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
../../capplets/common/.libs/libcommon.a(gradient.o): could not read symbols: Bad
value


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge metacity without -fPIC
2. emerge control-center
3.

Actual Results:  
build fails with because one needed library wasn't compiled with -fPIC

Expected Results:  
control-panel was emerged succcessfully

seems as metacity 2.6.3 is fine
