Public bug reported: ld says: /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
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. ** Affects: libxxf86vm (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Cant'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
