Title: Linking error, but what does it mean?
Post by: Elphi on September 20, 2007, 05:47:02 pm

I get the following error messages:

Code: [Select]


ydafbudf.lpr(34,1) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping
ydafbudf.lpr(34,1) Error: Error while linking
/mnt/y/y-invent/trunk/common/ylib.o: could not read symbols: Bad value
/usr/bin/ld: /mnt/y/y-invent/trunk/common/ylib.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `TC_SYSUTILS_DEFAULTFORMATSETTINGS' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC


What does it mean? Where can I set -fPIC?

BTW, is it a bug that the order of messages is reversed when 'copying selected messages to clipboard'?

what compiler options are you using (or better what are you trying ?)

Installed FPC 2.2.0 for x86_64 Linux and Lazarus 0.9.23 beta for x86_64 Linux on CentOS 5. I want to build a 64 bits so (containing UDFs for use with Firebird). I didn't change default Lazarus/FPC settings (yet).

You're making a library/.so somehow? That's not exactly supported on unix. You can make them by using ppumove tho.

Building libraries (.so) is supported under Unix. Otherwise it would be impossible to build apache modules.

I would just obey the warning and put -fPIC on the Compiler Options dialog. There one can find a space for "Other options" or something similar.

That worked, thanks; my first succesful build on linux!
