Package: libboost-regex-dev Version: 1.74.0.3 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: fbora...@gmail.com
Dear Maintainer, I wanted compile fat dynamic library with all its dependencies linked static and hidden symbols. Let demonstrate on example: ```CMake set(Boost_VERBOSE ON) set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON) find_package(Boost REQUIRED COMPONENTS regex) # library add_library(lib_r SHARED lib_r.cc) target_link_libraries(lib_r PRIVATE Boost::regex) # executable add_executable(test_r main_r.cc) target_link_libraries(test_r PRIVATE lib_r) ``` with `set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)` is find static version of library ``` -- Found boost_regex 1.74.0 at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/boost_regex-1.74.0 -- [ ] libboost_regex.so.1.74.0 -- [x] libboost_regex.a ``` and linking of shared library fails on: ``` [ 50%] Linking CXX shared library liblib_r.so /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_regex.a(regex.o): warning: relocation against `_ZTVN5boost10wrapexceptISt11logic_errorEE' in read-only section `.text.unlikely' /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_regex.a(instances.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `_ZTVSt15basic_streambufIcSt11char_traitsIcEE@@GLIBCXX_3.4' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: bad value ``` full example: https://github.com/fboranek/boost-static I think that even static library `libboost_regex.a` should be built with position independent code flag `-PIC`. I try the same for `Boost::thread` with the same result, so it apply probably on whole boost. I try compile boost directly ``` ./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=regex ./b2 link=static runtime-link=shared ``` and replace `Boost::regex` by `boost/stage/lib/libboost_regex.a` and library and executable is liked witout issue. In light of this it seems the problem with packaging. I clone latest boost repo.
