Bug 39255 – kudzu recompile with -fPIC

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description anthony 2004-01-24 09:21:06 UTC]

From amd64-tech-notes.html:
"  There used to be issues with the lack of -fPIC being specified when building shared objects, the reasoning is in this mailing list post: 
 Porting to Hammer -- scan down to "Shared libraries must be compiled with -fPIC". 
 If you find any packages that complain about needing -fPIC to run/link properly, please notify us immediately, as we need to update that package. Please do not specify -fPIC in your global CFLAGS as that is not an acceptable solution, and just a workaround. "

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sys-apps/kudzu


Actual Results:  
ranlib libkudzu_loader.a 
for ver in python2.2 ; do \ 
        if [ ! -f "$ver/_kudzumodule.so" -o libkudzu.a -nt 
"$ver/_kudzumodule.so" ]; then \ 
                mkdir -p $ver ;\ 
                gcc  -Wall -D_GNU_SOURCE -g -I. -DVERSION=\"0.99.99\" 
-I/usr/include/$ver -fpic -c -o $ver/kudzumodule.o kudzumodule.c ;\ 
                gcc -o $ver/_kudzumodule.so $ver/kudzumodule.o -shared 
-Wl,-soname,_kudzumodule.so -L. -lkudzu -lpci ;\ 
        fi ; \ 
done
