Bug 78328 – sci-electronics/tclspice-0.2.17 fails to compile

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description Tamran Lengyel 2005-01-17 02:19:32 UTC]

I had a little trouble with the malloc() and realloc() statements, which I fixed with a patch (see attachment).  Now, it fails to compile with the following:
... [previous cut for clarity]
maths/sparse/libsparse.a misc/libmisc.a -lm -lncurses -lpthread

Fix for proper definition of malloc and realloc

[Comment 2 Tamran Lengyel 2005-01-17 16:54:39 UTC]

Well, re-compiling with:

CFLAGS="-fPIC" emerge tclspic

works fine.  I know you're not supposed to do that, but

[Comment 3 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2005-01-22 14:10:28 UTC]

Ok, if you could compile this manually; open up src/Makefile.in before running ./configure and if you look at line 637 - add in an -fPIC after $(COMPILE)... Let's see if that fixes it.
