Description justin moser 2005-04-23 23:20:36 UTC

for amd64, arts-1.4.2-r1 and kdelibs-3.3.2-r8 fail to compile for me, complaining that i need to "recompile using -fPIC." i read about this on the amd64 project, so I presume this is where i report this kind of error.

see emerge --info below

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge arts or kdelibs
2. see compile error
3.

Actual Results:  
i didn't think to capture the actual error message. however, it barfed an error
that was akin to "blah blah blah recompile with -fPIC"

forcing it to pass "-fPIC" with my CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS  permits them to compile
right.

Expected Results:  
(do i really need to fill in all these text boxes?)

looks like i'm having the same problem with kdebase-3.3.2-r1. is it something in my configuration? :/

You should at least try again with basic CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS, and then reopen if it still happens (make sure you disable ccache and clean /var/tmp/portage/ before).

Comment 3 justin moser 2005-04-24 13:55:40 UTC

yeah. clearing ccache and /var/tmp/portage AND throttling down my flags did the trick. so, yeah it was something in my flags.

thank you :)
