The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=14983 ====================================================================== Reported By: Ludwig Nussel Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 14983 Category: CMake Reproducibility: have not tried Severity: minor Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2014-06-20 07:19 EDT Last Modified: 2014-06-20 07:19 EDT ====================================================================== Summary: POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE does not add -pie Description: I tried to make wodim a position independent executable to comply with distro policies. I did that by adding this to CMakeLists.txt: SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(wodim PROPERTIES POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE TRUE)
That however does not set -pie for the linker flags so no actual pie binary is created. An extra "LINK_FLAGS -pie" is necessary. I guess that's not the intention of the abstraction. Steps to Reproduce: SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(wodim PROPERTIES POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE TRUE) should result in $ readelf -h wodim|grep Type: Type: DYN (Shared object file) ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2014-06-20 07:19 Ludwig Nussel New Issue ====================================================================== -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
