Bug 24712 – ghostscript ijs fails to build, no -fPIC during compile

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Nico Baggus 2003-07-17 23:11:49 UTC]

The error message during linking indicated a missing -fPIC. 
If -fPIC is added to the compile options for ijs it compiles & links 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge ghostscript 
 
Actual Results:  
Error during linking of ijs modules 

Expected Results:  
Just build & install 

gcc ... -fPIC ... during compile of ijs modules... (everything else does, why 
not this one...?)

try to replace 
 
cd ijs 
econf --prefix=${D}/usr 
make || die "make failed" 
cd. . 
 
with  
 
cd ijs 
econf --prefix=${D}/usr 
emake || die "make failed" 
cd ..
