I am trying to compile gnash 0.8.5 on Gentoo X86_64 against Qt4/KDE4. This required some patching of the configure script but now everything is found and the compile starts. However, I almost immediately hit:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /usr/lib64/libboost_thread-mt-s.a(thread.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with - fPIC /usr/lib64/libboost_thread-mt-s.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [libgnashbase.la] Error 1 Searching this lists archives finds: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnash- dev/2008-04/msg00002.html. There does not seem to be a resolution. I customised my CFLAGS to include "-fPIC -DPIC" but it makes no difference. Version 0.8.4 did not get this error, is it an environmental problem?
