Re: R_X86_64_32S error building a shared library

[Adam Nielsen]

$ g++ -fPIC -c -o main.o main.cpp -I/usr/include/boost-1_37/ && g++ -o 
test.so main.o -shared

This works since main.cpp is being compiled to main.o with PIC. However, 
Boost is not involved here so it proves nothing about Boost.

It does prove something about Boost to me - as soon as I add the Boost 
libraries to the above program I get the error, which implies that something 
isn't compiled with -fPIC.  Since Boost was the only thing added, Boost must 
have been compiled without -fPIC.

Cheers,
Adam.
