Hi,

I wanted to try Gluon, but I get a linking error during the build:

Code: Select all

...

Is it supposed to build against KDE 4.3.1, or would I need trunk to do that?

Strange error ... I ve never seen that... ! I will take a look on it.

If you need any additional information, feel free to ask

Looks like this is the problem:

Code: Select all

creating a DT_TEXTREL in object.

And this is the solution.

Hmm, what system are you building gluon on? Errors with PIC usually are something related to the distro's libraries and not likely something we can do anything about.

The system is Gentoo Linux (x86), GCC 4.4.1, Binutils 2.19.1... Not sure what exactly you want to know.

What apparently is happening is that the library is being created without position-independent code, which, from my understanding, is a requirement for a shared library. So if I add the -fpic flag, everything actually compiles fine (although I haven't tried to see if it actually works).

you want to build linking principles must be true, slowly,
slowly fast time can not be too fast without error happens.
