Error compiling

[Igor Harzmann]

Sorry for my poor English.
I have tried to compile this package in
Linux localhost 6.12.3-gentoo-dist #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Dec 6 13:30:20 -00 2024 x86_64 AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
and got

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/14/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/14/../../../../lib64/libffi.a(prep_cif.o): warning: relocation against `ffi_type_sint32' in read-only section `.text'
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/14/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/14/../../../../lib64/libffi.a(prep_cif.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `ffi_type_sint32' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

Some useful advice, maybe?

What version of tcl-cffi were you using?

[Ashok P. Nadkarni]

Also please post questions / issues related to tcl-cffi in its repository (https://github.com/apnadkarni/tcl-cffi) as this SF location is only used for distribution.

Thanks

Also, see this - https://github.com/apnadkarni/tcl-cffi/issues/144

If you are using tcl-cffi 2.0, please try the configure similar to this Ubuntu CI line -

../configure --with-tcl=${{ env.TCLDIR }}/lib --enable-64bit --disable-staticffi

Let me know if you still have issues though I'm afraid I am not a Unix/gcc guru.
