Hi all, I am trying to fix the following issue with building volview on mips:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=volview&arch=mipsel&ver=3.4-1&stamp=1327908956 Quote: ... cd /build/buildd-volview_3.4-1-mipsel-QA92w9/volview-3.4/obj-mipsel-linux-gnu/VolViewLibraries/KWCommonPro && /usr/bin/cmake -E cmake_link_script CMakeFiles/KWCommonPro.dir/link.txt --verbose=1 /usr/bin/c++ -fPIC -Wno-deprecated -ftemplate-depth-50 -Wall -Wno-deprecated -O2 -g -shared -Wl,-soname,libKWCommonPro.so -o ../../bin/libKWCommonPro.so CMakeFiles/KWCommonPro.dir/vtkAnalyzeReader.o <...> /usr/lib/libvtkHybrid.so.5.8.0 ../../bin/libKWCommon.so /usr/lib/libvtkWidgets.so.5.8.0 ../../bin/libctnlib.a /usr/lib/libvtkHybrid.so.5.8.0 /usr/lib/libvtkParallel.so.5.8.0 /usr/lib/libvtkVolumeRendering.so.5.8.0 /usr/lib/libvtkRendering.so.5.8.0 /usr/lib/libvtkGraphics.so.5.8.0 /usr/lib/libvtkImaging.so.5.8.0 /usr/lib/libvtkIO.so.5.8.0 /usr/lib/libvtkFiltering.so.5.8.0 /usr/lib/libvtkCommon.so.5.8.0 /usr/lib/libvtksys.so.5.8.0 -ldl -lm /usr/bin/ld: ../../bin/libctnlib.a(condition.o): relocation R_MIPS_HI16 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC ../../bin/libctnlib.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status ... Obviously there is a very simple workaround (adding -fPIC during the compilation of ctnlib). However I am wondering if this is not a larger issue, such as for example cmake not setting proper static compilation flags on mipsel Comments appreciated, -- Mathieu -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
