Bug 42732 – FLAC's xmms plugin fails, maybe relocation/fPIC problem?

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description John Steele Scott 2004-02-24 03:40:28 UTC]

After emerging flac-1.1.0, launching XMMS gives the following message in the console:

/usr/lib/xmms/Input/libxmms-flac.so: R_PPC_REL24 relocation at 0x0f4ef238 for symbol `malloc' out of range

I have come across similar errors with packages in the past, and they are caused by a program not being built with the "-fPIC" compiler flag. I note that the flac ebuild adds this flag when building on hppa, I will do the same thing and see how it goes.

Reproducible: Always

Okay, that worked.

On line 42 of the flac-1.1.0.ebuild, where it adds -fPIC if we have xmms and X on hppa, it needs to do that for ppc as well.

[Comment 2 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2004-04-05 14:45:58 UTC]

it should have -fPIC regardless of the arch... I'll take this...

[Comment 3 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2004-04-07 19:24:43 UTC]

please verify that the -r1 ebuild works for you.

[Comment 4 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2004-04-11 23:59:40 UTC]

no response, but the new ebuild works on my sparc, so I'm marking fixed.

[Comment 5 John Steele Scott 2004-04-18 06:22:00 UTC]

Sorry for the late reply. -r1 does not fix the problem on my ppc. I still need to add -fPIC to CFLAGS the same way the hppa people do.

[Comment 6 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2004-04-18 11:58:37 UTC]

ok... it's in there for all archs.
