[Cygwin] gcc -fPIC warnings --------------------------- Key: STDCXX-346 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-346 Project: C++ Standard Library Issue Type: Bug Components: Build Affects Versions: 4.1.3 Environment: gcc 3.4.4 on Cygwin Reporter: Mark Brown
gcc shared library build on Cygwin spits out a warning message about the -fPIC flag on the command line for every .cpp file: make[2]: Entering directory `/home/mbrown/stdcxx-12d/lib' generating dependencies for $(TOPDIR)/src/atomic.s generating dependencies for $(TOPDIR)/src/wctype.cpp /home/mbrown/stdcxx/src/wctype.cpp:0: warning: -fPIC ignored for target (all code is position independent) Removing the -fPIC gets rid of the warnings so I'm guessing Cygwin might need the same conditional as the one for AIX in gcc.config: # IBM AIX code is always position independent ifneq ($(OSNAME),AIX) PICFLAGS = -fPIC endif Here's the archived post where this problem was first raised: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-stdcxx-dev/200703.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
