Does anyone else get this warning while linking? *** Warning: Linking the shared library libmesh.la against the *** static library ../contrib/tecplot/lib/x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0/tecio.a is not portable!
Obviously we've been doing this for years without problem... but according to the libtool docs [0], this is "a common error... trying to build a library from standard objects instead of special .lo object files." On the other hand, this SO topic [1] seems to imply that things will work as long as the code in the .a file has been compiled with -fPIC, but we don't know if that's the case for the binary tecio.a blob we distribute, right?
