Bug 87546 – gdesklets-core will only compile with -fPIC

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED INVALID

[Description Ioannis Aslanidis (RETIRED) 2005-04-01 04:58:57 UTC]

I've tried compiling gdesklets-core with my standard cflags and it failed, telling me to compile _with_ -fPIC. Could anyone update the ebuild so it uses that flag by default?

Looks like suddenly some ebuilds ask me for that...marking invalid for now.

[Comment 2 Ioannis Aslanidis (RETIRED) 2005-04-01 12:29:33 UTC]

It was a distcc problem.

[Comment 3 bugs-gentoo.anon 2005-04-01 14:24:09 UTC]

The distcc-ERROR is OK (Compile's failing so distcc reports an error).

Are you using 2005.0? Then you do have the -m64 Flag enabled by default. Except when using no-multilib-profil.

The solution is to remerge gcc-config 1.3.10-r2 or 1.4.0. In there the warning of the gcc-wrapper ("gcc-wrapper: -m64 detected on the command line overrides implicit -m64 added by the wrapper.") is removed. The warning confuses Configure.

There was no need to cross the commend, but thank you. I'll give that a shot as it looks like a functional workaround.
