Hello, I've tried to compile Firefox 67.0.4 (I have 66 running) on BLFS
8.4 (some of components like ffmepg are upgraded), so I have GCC 8.1 not 9.
Compilation stops on :
58:47.89 media/ffvpx/libavcodec/libmozavcodec.so
58:48.12 /usr/bin/ld: x86/fft.o: warning: relocation against
`ff_cos_512' in read-only section `.text'
58:48.12 /usr/bin/ld: x86/fft.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol
`ff_cos_32' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with
-fPIC
and then error with ld.
No big deal of course, I'll upgrade entire system at next release, but I
want to understand why -FPIC. May I try to modify some configuration in
compilation? I tried to modify media/ffvpx/ffvpxcommon.mozbuild adding
-fPIC in CFLAGS but link compilains: "bad value".
Some ideas?
Thanks
Riccardo
