Bug 84554 – crystalspace requires -fPIC on amd64

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Guido 2005-03-08 15:00:27 UTC]

To be able to successfully build Crystal Space on AMD64 architecture the flag "-fPIC" must be appended to CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS. To fix this bug this line should be added to the src_compile() function:

    [ "${ARCH}" = "amd64" ] && append-flags -fPIC

This also requires that "flag-o-matic" is inherited. Of course the ~amd64 keyword should be added as well.

Reproducible: Always

fix it properly and we'll add amd64 support

sticking -fPIC into CFLAGS is NOT the proper fix

Why is this bug marked "resolved invalid"?
I still can't emerge crystalspace successfully!

anyway:
As upgrading to 2005.0 resolved the fPIC issue now there is an other issue. See
# 94541.

read comment #2 ... just throwing -fPIC into CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS is incorrect

[Comment 8 Attila Stehr 2005-08-17 05:56:35 UTC]

So what is the solution then? This bugs state is <b>_RESOLVED_</b> (invalid).

If so just saying "fix it properly" resolves a bug?! Very interesting...
