Bug 107648 – net-misc/yate trying to use gsm as shared lib when it is static

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Wayne 2005-09-29 14:59:01 UTC]

Yate fails on the amd64 because -fPIC cflag is not envoked. I suggest it gets
added to ensure cross platform compatability.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.


Expected Results:  
Compile

[Comment 1 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2005-09-29 15:01:35 UTC]

So what ebuild are you talking about; yate or gsm?

[Comment 2 Wayne 2005-09-30 01:04:30 UTC]

gsm

[Comment 3 Wayne 2005-10-04 00:44:23 UTC]

The change is applicable to the gsm ebuild

[Comment 4 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) 2005-10-04 03:50:02 UTC]

which version are you talking about? gsm-1.0.10 works fine here. also, please
post your emerge --info

[Comment 5 Wayne 2005-10-04 06:45:46 UTC]

I assume its for all versions. gsm works fine without -fPIC but cannot be linked
against from an x86_64 system.

Considering that Simon wrote that part, I think he knows it. 
 
Can you paste the error log?

right, now i got what you wanted to say

One should think so, but who knows? ;)

[Comment 9 Danny van Dyk (RETIRED) 2005-11-06 07:25:05 UTC]

Wayne: Please tell us which application does not link against gsm. Libraries w/o
-fPIC are totally fine as long as they are static (which is true for
media-sound/gsm), so in this case the application you're trying to compile is
bogus.

As previously stated I'm trying to compile Yate 0.9.0. The following are the
errors that I receive. 

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/../../../../lib64/libgsm.a(code.o):
relocation R_X86_64_32S against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a
shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/../../../../lib64/libgsm.a: could not
read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [gsmcodec.yate] Error 1
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make -C ./test all

These errors are fixed by recompiling gsm with -FPIC.

[Comment 11 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2006-10-04 23:39:19 UTC]

I've tried to fix gsm in the past, but there's no way to do so. AMD64, please check if yate needs gsmlib and fails for PIC, it should be -amd64 instead.
gsm is dead upstream.

[Comment 12 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) 2007-01-14 04:57:50 UTC]

use flag is masked now, consider this fixed
