Position independent code linking problem.

Paul Orwig — Tue, 23 Oct 2001 21:06:11 GMT

I am working on compiling the latest version of samba and have an error stating that the modules being linked need to be compiled with either -z or -Z for a shared library.
I am using gcc and both modules are compiled with the -fpic flag which I believe is the same as the -z flags.
Is there a linker flag that I am missing or is there some other flag that would interfere with the position independence?

Thanks.

I know this may sound trivial, but the flag seems to be case-sensitive; try -fPIC on a hp-ux system

That didn't make any difference.
I managed to link by manually running the ld command and setting the -b and -z flags.
I'll work on what needs to be done to the Makefile
