[Debichem-devel] Bug#636204: pdb2pqr: FTBFS, recompile with -fPIC

[Konstantinos Margaritis]

Package: pdb2pqr
Version: 1.7-1
Severity: important

The package fails to build on armhf ( and on mips/mipsel (R_MIPS_HI16)
relocation errors. In all 3 cases, the linker suggests rebuilding with
-fPIC, which does actually work.

I suggest either of 2 solutions:

a) add exceptions for those 3 arches to build with -fPIC added to the CFLAGS or
b) build the package with -fPIC by default on all arches - this was
actually the recommended action by other developers when discussed on
IRC.

Thanks

Konstantinos
