[Bug 39696] New: -fPIC compile option required

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39696

Bug ID: 39696
           Summary: -fPIC compile option required
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.8-rc2
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

When I built my app in 64 bit mode it wouldn't link.  It said:

winegcc  -g -o main main.o  main.res ../../lib/wds.a ../../lib/dynace.a
-lkernel -luser -lgdi -lcomdlg -lcomctl -ladvapi -lshell -lmpr -lwine -lmsvcrt
-lmsimg -lm 
/usr/bin/ld: ../../lib/dynace.a(Object.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against
`.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with
-fPIC
../../lib/dynace.a: error adding symbols: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
winegcc: gcc failed

I tried recompiling everything with -fPIC and the link then succeeded.  If 64
bit WINE apps require -fPIC then the docs should be very clear about it.

Thanks.

Wines ./configure script should automatically add -fPIC to the CFLAGS. Please
provide more details how exactly you tried to build it, and which host
environment you have (OS, distribution, ...).

Yes, it did auto-add the -fPIC to the _WINE_ build.  That didn't affect my
application build.  I was unaware that my application had to be built with
-fPIC.  What I was suggesting is making it very clear that any apps built in 64
bits must use -fPIC.

Did you use winegcc when building your library?

Where/how should this warning occur?

I think the readme file should make clear the-fPIC requirement as well as the
need for Win32 in order for Win64 to run.

It's still not clear if you used winegcc to build your library as Alexandre
asked in comment #3

Can an administrator close this bug as ABANDONED?
