Hi everyone,
I'm almost ashamed to ask help on this...
I used dmd/dub on an arch linux machine for some time in the past
without any problem.
Now I'm experiencing a strange problem after switching to a debian
jessie (testing) machine when compiling even the simplest hello_world
application :( !!
After successfully compiling the source file, I get hundreds of linker
error messages of the form:
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libphobos2.a(aaA_52e_53e.o):
relocation R_X86_64_32 against symbol `__dmd_personality_v0' can not be
used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
It looks like the linker cannot link together phobos library modules
into the final binary or something like that.
I'm using the official package dmd_2.072.0-0_amd64.deb from dlang
website, but also the package in debian repositories (version 2.071.2)
does the same.
Any idea what the problem might be?
Yup lots of posts about this problem lately.
Here's my answer to an identical question[0].

Thank you for your support Rikki!
Indeed, modifying dmd.conf as you suggested solved the problem.
Sorry for duplicating posts on this: I searched for fPIC problems
beforehand but somehow didn't find that previous post.
Is this problem affecting debian users only? Or maybe just those using
testing?
Would it be an option to modify the configuration of the official .deb
package accordingly?
Thank you again!
No problem, its Ubuntu/Debian has moved over to a hardened mode fairly
recently and we haven't updated to match it yet.
