Owen O'Malley reassigned ORC-765:
---------------------------------
Assignee: Ben Givertz
> Added build option to compile libraries with position independent code
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ORC-765
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ORC-765
> Project: ORC
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: C++
> Affects Versions: 1.6.7
> Reporter: Ben Givertz
> Assignee: Ben Givertz
> Priority: Major
>
> When building the ORC c++ library, it will compile itself and its third party
> dependencies as static libraries. However, on linux, it is not possible to
> link these libraries to a shared object unless they are compiled with
> position independent code.
> I have added a BUILD_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_LIB option to the CMake file which
> is turned OFF by default. However, if a user needs to compile the static
> libraries with PIC, they are able to specify so by turning the option ON.
> This will effect liborc and all of its external dependencies.
