Hi list, sorry if this has been reported before. when compiling portmidi under linux on an AMD64, i had to add the -fPIC flag to the gcc flags.
reason: when trying to build John Harrison's pyPortMidi gcc bailed out with this error: ./linux/libportmidi.a(pmlinux.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC ./linux/libportmidi.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 what they said: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/howtos/index.xml?part=1&chap=3 On certain architectures (AMD64 amongst them), shared libraries *must* be "PIC-enabled". cheers Georg
