libaubio.a (amd64) built without -fPIC

[cannam]

Binary package hint: libaubio-dev

Attempting to link a dynamic object statically against libaubio on an amd64 install gives the following error:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.3.2/../../../../lib/libaubio.a(phasevoc.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

This is libaubio-dev 0.3.2-2ubuntu1 installed from the 8.10 repositories. I assume the proper solution is just to ensure that the library is compiled with -fPIC as per the message.

Hi Chris,

According to the build logs and the debian policy (10.2), the library *is* built with -fPIC.

What command are you using to build statically? On i386, the following command works fine:

$ gcc -o test-phasevoc test-phasevoc.c /usr/lib/libaubio.a /usr/lib/libfftw3f.a /usr/lib/libm.a

Cheers, Paul

Paul,

You're quite right -- this appears to be fine with the 0.3.2-2ubuntu3
shipped in 9.04. I can only assume it changed during the last couple
of updates.

Alright, marked as fixed then.

Cheers, Paul
