Edward Hervey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Using '-mdynamic-no-pic' isn't usable in our situation since we need to: * build ffmpeg as .a * build gst-ffmpeg as a shared library using those libav*.a (ffmpeg code ends up in the plugin).
The gcc man-page states the following: "On Darwin and Mac OS X systems, compile code so that it is not relocatable, but that its external references are relocatable. The resulting code is suitable for applications, but not shared libraries." And indeed, when attempting to compile everything with -mdynamic-no-pic it fails at linkage with the same error (absolute addressing not allowed in slidable image). ______________________________________________________ FFmpeg issue tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <https://roundup.mplayerhq.hu/roundup/ffmpeg/issue724> ______________________________________________________
