The verify script requirements need to get updated:
- meson is required but not listed
- gtest/gmock are required but not listed
- I had to export CPR_USE_SYSTEM_CURL=OFF for some reason due to ssl
stuff, unsure.
These issues don't need to block the release, but should get addressed
at some point to make verification easier.
That said, I did run into a different issue:
[ 94%] Linking CXX shared library libiceberg_rest.so
/usr/bin/ld: ../../../../_deps/curl-build/lib/libcurl.a(cookie.c.o):
warning: relocation against `stdout@@GLIBC_2.2.5' in read-only section
`.text'
/usr/bin/ld: ../../../../_deps/curl-build/lib/libcurl.a(mprintf.c.o):
relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `stdout@@GLIBC_2.2.5' can not
be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: bad value
Since I set CPR_USE_SYSTEM_CURL=OFF, it looks like whatever version of
libcurl is being used by the default configuration for CMake is having
an issue with this linking. Most likely, the
`fetchcontent_makeavailable(cpr)` needs to explicitly do something
like:
foreach(_curl_target IN ITEMS libcurl libcurl_static libcurl_shared)
if(TARGET ${_curl_target})
set_target_properties(${_curl_target} PROPERTIES
POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE ON)
endif()
endforeach()
Or just globally set `CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE=ON` earlier in
the CMakeLists.txt so that the curl subbuild properly gets that
option.
As a result, my vote is -1 (binding).
I ran on Ubuntu 25.10
