Hi,
I've just installed hugs 1.4 beta using the configuration parameters
./configure --prefix=/public/languages/hugs-1.4beta --with-readline --with-plugins
on Solaris 2.5 using X11R6.1 and gcc 2.7.2. During >>make install<< I
got an error while executing the command:
gcc -shared -nostdlib -o Xlib.so Xlib.o -L/public/lib -R /public/lib -lX11 -lnsl
-lsocket
The error message was:
--------
Text relocation remains referenced
against symbol offset in file
<unknown> 0x598 Xlib.o
...
ld: fatal: relocations remain against allocatable but non-writable sections
--------
This is due to the fact that compilation of Xlib.c lacked the -fPIC
parameter. After changing a line in the Makefile from
-------------
Xlib$(OBJ) : Xlib.c $(PLUGIN_INCLUDES)
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(X_CFLAGS) Xlib.c -c
-------------
to
-------------
Xlib$(OBJ) : Xlib.c $(PLUGIN_INCLUDES)
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -fPIC $(X_CFLAGS) Xlib.c -c
-------------
everything was OK. You may want to change that in the next release. I'm
not sure whether this corresponds only to gcc.
Bye,
Nils
