Description Caleb Shay 2003-11-01 19:51:56 UTC

net-mail/evolution-1.4.5 merges and runs fine IF you have -fPIC in your CFLAGS.  It fails without -fPIC.

The following dependencies for evolution also worked (but did NOT require -fPIC):
net-libs/libsoup-1.99.26
gnome-extra/libgtkhtml-3.0.9
app-pda/pilot-link-0.11.8
app-pda/gnome-pilot-2.0.10-r1
app-pda/gnome-pilot-conduits-2.0.10-r1
net-libs/gnutls-0.8.10


There may be others that I have missed.  The relevant USE flags for evolution I had set were:
+ssl +mozilla +ldap -doc -spell +pda +ipv6 -kerberos -kde +crypt

I already had mozilla installed, so it did NOT attempt to merge dev-libs/nspr (which does NOT build on amd64)

Comment 1 Darryl Bleau 2003-11-26 10:47:15 UTC

I successfully emerged evolution-1.4.5 _WITHOUT_ -fPIC in my USE flags on my amd64 machine. I would suggest the ebuild only needs ~amd64 added to keywords.

Comment 2 Brad House 2003-12-13 10:34:24 UTC

no -fPIC need here ...
marked stable, closing

I think that +pda might have something to do with this.  I also could not compile evolution without -fPIC, and it indicated that -fPIC was needed while compiling the address book conduits for gnome-pilot.

-fPIC seems to have fixed the problem.

Perhaps those who have gotten evolution to compile without -fPIC are not using gnome-pilot?

Comment 4 Daniel Wharton 2004-04-28 15:55:00 UTC

I have to agree with Richard.  I get the same failure with +pda.  It does compile ok using -fPIC and +pda.
