[Chromium-users] Problems compiling Chromium with DMX on AMD64

[Abhijit G. <gab...@ya...>]

Hi All, 

I am trying to compile chromium on x86_64 with DMX support enabled. The setup
details are as follows 

Processor Type - Opteron (x86_64)
Operating System - SuSE 9.2 
X Server -  X.org release 6.8.1 
OpenGL - Mesa (USE_OSMESA=1)

The compilation (linking) of tilesort spu fails with following errors. 

Linking ../../built/tilesortspu/Linux/libtilesortspu.so
/usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.3.4/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld:
/usr/X11R6/lib64/libdmx.a(dmx.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local
symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/X11R6/lib64/libdmx.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
gmake[3]: *** [../../built/tilesortspu/Linux/libtilesortspu.so] Error 1
gmake[2]: *** [dep] Error 2
gmake[1]: *** [tilesort.subdir] Error 2

The headers and libraries are in right places. 

Any ideas what should be the problem? Do I need to recompile libdmx with -fPIC?

Someone on the list has posted a similar problem compiling GM with chromium.
But I couldnt find answer in that particular thread. 

Thanks and regards.
