Bug 81140 – plib 1.8.3 needs -fPIC on amd64

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Frank Weinberg 2005-02-07 09:59:09 UTC]

When trying to emerge games-sports/torcs-1.2.2 it mourned about plib not being compiled with -fPIC. (Reemerging plib with -fPIC in CFLAGS solved the problem as expected)

Reproducible: Always

Created attachment 50971 [details, diff]
Build also shared libs for plib

This one needs full autotool programm afterwards:
aclocal; libtoolize --copy --force; automake --add-missing; autoconf

[Comment 2 Danny van Dyk (RETIRED) 2005-02-10 19:14:12 UTC]

Created attachment 50972 [details, diff]
Allows compilation on amd6 and other -fPIC-loving arches

This one should be applied unconditionally

Games people: Could you please have a look @ above patches and tell me if i'm

couldn't reproduce this with 1.8.4 which is now stable
