* Rocco Stanzione | /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libXxf86vm.a(XF86VMode.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC Why are you trying to link this statically rather than linking against the dynamic library? | so I add -fPIC to CFLAGS in debian/rules and rebuild, reinstall, and the | same command (which was: cc -Wall -fPIC `pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --cflags` | -I/usr/include main.o /usr/lib/libXxf86vm.a -o gamma.so -L/usr/lib/ | `pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --libs` -shared) works. | | I don't know if this is a 'fix' or if it just makes it work with | gkrellm-gamma. It breaks static compilations, so please don't do that. If you have a real need to link libXxf86vm statically into a shared object, the right fix would be to provide a secondary .a file with the objects compiled with -fPIC. -- Tollef Fog Heen,''`.

[Bug 59402] Re: Can't build against libxxf86vm-dev
This patch will build the package with -fPIC and fix the problem. My understanding, which may well be flawed, is that this will make no difference on ia32 builds, but add the benefit of -fPIC (demonstrated by this bug) to amd64 and ppc builds. ** Attachment added: "fpic.diff" http://librarian.launchpad.net/4182201/fpic.diff -- Can't build against libxxf86vm-dev https://launchpad.net/bugs/59402 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
