Hm, this is a nasty problem and finding the solution will be even nastier. I have no experience with Xcode but I would recommend to build library without all optimizations (disable both compiler and nasm optimizations) and check if it is still broken. If yes then I don't know better approach than compile libjpeg with no optimizations via old and new Xcode, disassemble affected parts of code (probably simd/*.o object files) and try to figure differences and isolate what exactly is broken. I can help you (hopefully) if you upload old/new files somewhere. > I've tried building the code both with and without PIC, using the 10.4, > 10.5, and 10.6 compatibility SDK's, using NASM 0.98, 2.05.01, and 2.07. > Curiously, with NASM 2.07, it doesn't build at all, giving me the > following error: > > ld: in ./.libs/libjpeg.a(jcsammmx.o), malformed .o file, symbol > const_base with address 0x1B4 is not with section 2 (__DATA,__const) > address range of 0x1C0 to 0x1C0 > > I suspect the latter may be related to this NASM bug: > > http://www.nabble.com/--nasm-Bugs-2840300---Macho-alignment-broken-td25044061.html I'm quite sure you are right. > However, the more general problem is, I suspect, related to PIC > generation.

Hm, PIC code shouln't be needed at all in our project because we are shipping no libraries. In GNU build chain it is possible to disable PIC generation with `--disable-shared` configure flag. Is it possible to disable PIC code in Xcode as well? Regards, Adam -- Adam Tkac, Red Hat, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
