Public bug reported: I'm developing a shared library that uses GLEW. When I'm trying to link it I get the following error:
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib64/libGLEW.a(glew.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib64/libGLEW.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status It seems that GLEW in ubuntu is compiled without -fPIC flag. When I compile my library as static I get no errors. ** Affects: glew (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/811789 Title: glew compiled without -fPIC flag To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glew/+bug/811789/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
