the option to produce pic code is compiler dependent. -fPIC works for gcc. For SunPRO its -KPIC -DPIC (or -kPIC -DPIC, can't recall if k is upper or lower). How many systems have different behavior for -fpic vs -fPIC? I suspect we'd always want -fPIC (for gcc that is). -Dan _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
