Description

HAVE_SSL test seems to be failing on my system when -DUSE_QT5=ON is set (Arch Linux 4.4.5-1). CMake is trying to compile the test without -fPIC but the library was built with -reduce-relocations.

The rest of the software builds just fine, but this particular test fails so it causes SSL to be disabled by default, unless forced on by HAVE_SSL.

Quassel version is 0.12.3, but the dropdown menu of the bugtracker doesn't have that.

Error log:

History

#1 Updated by oxc almost 8 years ago

I tried moving the code block which sets CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE above the check, which indeed causes -fPIE to be added, but according to Qt that is not sufficient:

"You must build your code with position independent code if Qt was built with -reduce-relocations. " "Compile your code with -fPIC (-fPIE is not enough)."

I could not figure out how to cause -fPIC to get added instead.
