Sometime back I added a patch to the patches repository that adds -fPIC to the compiler flags when compiling shared library. Additionally it allows building the shared and static library in a single pass. See: <http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/downloads/zlib/zlib-1.2.2-fPIC-1.patch>. Though the patch is for 1.2.2 it also applies to 1.2.3.
The installation instructions are: ./configure --prefix=/usr --shared && make && make install Should the patch be added to the book? -- Tushar Teredesai mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~tushar/ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
