Description Kevin Owen 2004-02-05 19:49:44 UTC 
The compile of media-libs/quicktime4linux-1.5.5-r1 fails, with the following error:
ar rcs x86_64/libquicktime.a `cat x86_64/objs`
gcc -shared -o x86_64/libquicktime.so `cat x86_64/objs`
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: x86_64/atom.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
x86_64/atom.o: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [x86_64/libquicktime.so] Error 1
 
!!! ERROR: media-libs/quicktime4linux-1.5.5-r1 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 27, Exitcode 2

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. On an x86_64 machine running 64-bit Gentoo, type: 'emerge -kv quicktime4linux'
2. Watch it compile, and eventually fail...

Actual Results:  
It failed with the instruction to "recompile with -fPIC"

Expected Results:  
It should have compiled successfully.
