As someone may be interested in a static lib compiled without -fPIC, I'd prefer to set a boolean variable per package, with a default of -fPIC enabled. I think the 'global change' people mentioned here involves using NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE, isn't it?
This way, people will be able to write his own expressions disabling -fPIC. What do you think? Then each package with that parameter enabled could manage to use -fPIC in the best way, maybe only for library code, and not for the programs code. (I need -fPIC on the perl package for pidgin to link, too) 2009/3/10 Ludovic Courtès <l...@gnu.org>: > Hello, > > Eelco Dolstra <e.dols...@tudelft.nl> > writes: > >> Turning on -fPIC by default would at least fix a bunch of packages on >> x86_64-linux that forget to pass -fPIC for shared library builds. > > I'd rather fix packages individually than add such a kludge globally. > > Thanks, > Ludo'. > > _______________________________________________ > nix-dev mailing list > nix-dev@cs.uu.nl > https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev > _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@cs.uu.nl https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
