i am trying to create an ebuild for https://github.com/arangodb/linenoise-ng and reference that library in my code.

when compile my code, i get what follows:

Code:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/13/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /usr/lib/liblinenoise.a(linenoise.cpp.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `stdout@@GLIBC_2.2.5' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC


I think i need to add -fPIC into my ebuild for linenoise-ng which inherit cmake.eclass

I tried what follows, but it does not seem to work.

Code:

src_configure() {
        local mycmakeargs=(
                -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE="-fPIC"
        )
   cmake_src_configure
}


or
Code:

-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE+="-fPIC"

you can use before cmake_src_configure :
append-cflags -fPIC

it needs inherit flag-o-matic


or something like

-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE="${CFLAGS} -fPIC" ?

The intended way to turn on position independent code with cmake is

Is your code going in a shared library? Linenoise Next Generation only provides a static library:

CMakeLists.txt
Code:
# build liblinenoise
add_library(
  linenoise
  STATIC
  src/ConvertUTF.cpp
  src/linenoise.cpp
  src/wcwidth.cpp
)

I'd rather patch CMakeLists.txt in your ebuild to have CMake create a shared library instead.

thanks nicop, the flag-o-matic way works for me:


Before i post this question, I use the following query to look for samples on my machine but fruitless

Code:
locate .ebuild|xargs grep -il "inherit cmake" |xargs grep CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS |rfm.sh -l



after your suggestion, i tried the fPIC as keyword and find some samples:

Code:
locate .ebuild|xargs grep -il "inherit cmake" |xargs grep fPIC|rfm.sh -l



And the rfm project https://github.com/guyuming76/rfm is where i am trying to test linenoise.

rfm provide a gtk+ based list ui for files in search result, and i can click/enter open file with editors such as emacs to see detail. You can also run shell command on selected files

I am newbie for the tool chain. Both flag-o-matic and cmake are new for me(the name cmake is more familiar).

I am not supposed to modify the cmakefile.txt of linenoise since i am not working on it currently, just looking for a simple alternaitve for the gnu readline i am using in project currently

UPDATE: grep inherit and cmake seperately returns more:
Code:

locate .ebuild|xargs grep -il inherit|xargs grep -il cmake |xargs grep CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS |rfm.sh -l


UPDATE: what follows seems to be the correct syntax. I am planning to enhance a feature to store frequently used commands in somewhere such as config.h. I need to know more about readline and history libraries for this i think. Or kind of integration with the tldr project?

Code:
locate .ebuild|xargs grep inherit|grep cmake|cut -d: -f1 |xargs grep CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS|rfm.sh -l
