All object code in shared libraries should be recompiled + separately from the static libraries with the -fPIC option. + . + Another common mistake that causes this problem is linking with + <code>gcc -Wl,-shared</code> instead of <code>gcc -shared</code>. + . + In some cases, exceptions to this rule are warranted. If this is such a + case, follow the procedure outlined in Policy and then please document + the exception by adding a Lintian override to this package. + . + To check whether a shared library has this problem, run <code>readelf + -d</code> on the shared library. If a tag of type TEXTREL is present, the + shared library contains non-PIC code. +See-Also: + debian-policy 10.2 |
