>Number: 3977 >Category: os-solaris >Synopsis: build problem related to position independent code (PIC) >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: apache >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: apache >Arrival-Date: Sun Feb 28 08:40:01 PST 1999 >Last-Modified: >Originator: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Organization: apache >Release: 1.3.4 >Environment: uname -a: SunOS lsesun14 5.6 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-1 Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.6/2.8.1/specs gcc version 2.8.1 >Description: I tried to build Apache with some extra modules, not included by default. A call to 'ar' failed, because the Global Offset Table used by Position Independent Code was full. See the explanation of the compiler switches -fpic and -fPIC in the gcc documentation, e.g. at http://castor.epfl.ch/asis/GNU.LANG/gcc-2.8.1/gcc_2.html#SEC19 . >How-To-Repeat: config.status:
./configure \ "--with-layout=GNU" \ "--prefix=/users/wwwtemp/Tools/apache" \ "--enable-rule=SHARED_CORE" \ "--enable-module=so" \ "--enable-module=proxy" \ "--enable-module=rewrite" \ "$@" >Fix: I modified the configure script to have the compiler switch -fPIC instead of -fPIC. Either -fPIC should be the default for the sparc-solaris architecture (and possibly others), or there should be a configure option to replace -fpic by -fPIC. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
