Category: checkvm Group: None >Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Heiko Zuerker (smiley73) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: checkvm compile fails Initial Comment: Checkvm fails to compile (see error message below). ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-multimon --without-x make LDFLAGS=-liconv all Unfortunately upgrading to a newer gcc is at the moment not possible.

I'll reopen this bug. For those seeing this bug report for the first time, there's a lot more information available at the associated Gentoo bug report, which can be found here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200376 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mike Auty (ikelos) Date: 2007-11-26 11:04 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=230582 Originator: NO Sorry to check on this, but does that mean that -nopie has been added to the CFLAGS in the Makefile, or could other users still run into this problem? If it has been added, is it enabled at all times, or just when being built against a hardened config? Certainly for the Gentoo distribution we can add in a Makefile patch, I just would have thought it more beneficial to have a solid fix upstream... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: ECL (sopwith) Date: 2007-11-26 10:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=18318 Originator: NO Closing as "WORKSFORME"... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Heiko Zuerker (smiley73) Date: 2007-11-26 09:23 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=112133 Originator: YES Hey, I ended up using this to get the compile running: CC="gcc -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -fno-PIE" LDFLAGS=-liconv ./configure --prefix=/usr --without-x make all modules -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE was necessary because there are a lot of compiler warnings and we treat warnings as errors. -fno-PIE was necessary because of the error in the original support request. It may be required on hardened systems in general. Devil-Linux uses the hardened settings from "Hardened Linux from Scratch", which may be the base or similar to other hardened distros.

It would be nice to find a way of only enabling this if required... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Heiko Zuerker (smiley73) Date: 2007-10-16 14:06 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=112133 Originator: YES I hate to admit it, but the problem seems to be Devil-Linux specific. I disabled all security features and now it compiles fine. I'm not sure where the problem is, this may take quite some time to figure it out. It may be SSP or PIE related. If you want you can close this tracker.
