build fails without `-fPIC`

Open nsajko opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

I just did a fresh checkout from Github, and the build fails unless I put -fPIC in CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS. This is on Archlinux with GCC v14.1.1, Binutils v2.42.

Ideally the Graphia build system would take care of -fPIC. Alternatively, it'd be nice if this was at least documented.

-fPIC is present for me (where appropriate). What version of CMake are you using? That's what's mostly responsible for selecting compiler arguments.

Cmake is at 3.29.5

OK, that's fine. Qt is ultimately responsible for building the compiler flags that it needs, including -fPIC; which version of Qt are you using? I recommend 6.7.0 at the moment. If that doesn't resolve it paste your actual failure with verbose output turned on and we'll go from there.
