* Zdenek Dohnal:
I, as Fedora's vim co-maintainer, encountered the issue with
default
LDFLAGS.
I tried to manually run configure script for Vim, with ruby support
enabled, but it always failed with error message about missing ncurses
(ncurses-devel was installed though). When I looked into config.log, I saw:
configure:12069: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -L. -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now
-specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-ld -fstack-protector
-rdynamic -Wl,-export-dynamic -L/usr/local/lib conftest.c -lselinux
-lncurses >&5
conftest.c: In function 'main':
conftest.c:67:26: warning: implicit declaration of function 'tgetent'
[-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
char s[10000]; int res = tgetent(s, "thisterminaldoesnotexist");
^~~~~~~
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccivPtT5.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against
`.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile
with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: nonrepresentable section on output
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
This is a bug in the configure script. It needs to pass the original
CFLAGS when compiling link tests.
The command is set correctly initially:
| ac_link='$CC -o conftest$ac_exeext $CFLAGS $CPPFLAGS $LDFLAGS conftest.$ac_ext $LIBS
>&5'
So something appears to reset CFLAGS in the script.
Thanks,
Florian
