 |

Hello!
I am trying to compile a program (specificaly, ROOT, also available in sci-physics/root), and I get this failure:
| Code: | g++ -shared -Wl,-soname,libTable.so.5.20 -m64 -march=nocona -O2 -pipe -fPIC -o lib/libTable.so.5.20 misc/table/src/TCernLib.o misc/table/src/TChair.o misc/table/src/TColumnView.o misc/table/src/TDataSet.o misc/table/src/TDataSetIter.o misc/table/src/TDsKey.o misc/table/src/TFileIter.o misc/table/src/TFileSet.o misc/table/src/TGenericTable.o misc/table/src/TIndexTable.o misc/table/src/TObjectSet.o misc/table/src/TPoints3D.o misc/table/src/TPointsArray3D.o misc/table/src/TPolyLineShape.o misc/table/src/TResponseTable.o misc/table/src/TTable.o misc/table/src/TTable3Points.o misc/table/src/TTableDescriptor.o misc/table/src/TTableIter.o misc/table/src/TTableMap.o misc/table/src/TTablePadView3D.o misc/table/src/TTablePoints.o misc/table/src/TTableSorter.o misc/table/src/TVolume.o misc/table/src/TVolumePosition.o misc/table/src/TVolumeView.o misc/table/src/TVolumeViewIter.o misc/table/src/G__Table.o
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /usr/lib64/libgslcblas.a(sasum.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib64/libgslcblas.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status |
The incriminated library is from sci-libs/gsl package. I actually tried building it with `CFLAGS="-fPIC" LDFLAGS="-fPIC" emerge gsl` and both gsl and the following ROOT compilation succeeded. Yet portage rightfully complains that I am not supposed to use -fPIC flag.
Which is the Gentoo-friendly solution to this issue? are there risks I am ignoring in using -fPIC?
Thank you!
[a Gentoo-friendly solution is one where one is not supposed to rebuild either gsl or ROOT explicitely when one or the other is updated...] |

Provided that your system and build environment are sane, the friendly solution would be to report the issue in bugs.gentoo.org, so it can be fixed on the ebuild(s) and the user don't have to mess with crazy CFLAGS that they are not supposed to toy with. On a quick search I didn't find any related problem in bugzilla. Still, if you decide to report it, try searching yourself in case that there's a similar bug already reported. |

Thank you for your reply!
I believe my environment sane, but that is a "personal" belief - and my amount of USE flags are more toward insanity anyway...

What I read from your reply is that this could be a problem for anyone trying to build anything against those static libraries (which could be the reason of an absence of complains before this, since people usually prefer to link against dynamic libraries). I wil more carefully check for bug reports, and maybe add another one. |

It seems sane enough to me. I was mostly talking about crazy C/LDFLAGS settings. USE flags are there so you can use them. Those that are not supposed to be changed are hardcoded into the profiles.

fPIC related errors are usually due to problems in the ebuild(s) and/or the upstream packages. They are rare on stable packages though. In any case, I hope that you have some luck in bugzilla. |
