golang gcc c++ existing static library can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIC
czha...@gmail.com
I tried to link an existing C++ library to go code. The C++ library only has a static library and a header file, no source code.
I used swigc to generate a libfoo.go and I wrote a simple libb.go to build this library. This worked well on ubuntu 16.04 with gcc-6 earlier.
However, once I upgraded to ubuntu 18, and even with older go1.9 and gcc-6, which used to work, I am hitting the following error:
/usr/bin/ld: ./lib/libfoo.a(parser.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against symbol `xmlSAX2IgnorableWhitespace' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: ./lib/libfoo.a(tree.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPICI have downgraded both go compiler and gcc to the version that used to work.
The following is the libb.go that used to work
/*
#cgo CXXFLAGS: -std=c++11 -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0 -w
#cgo CFLAGS: -I${SRCDIR}/include -w
#cgo LDFLAGS: -Wl -rpath,./lib, -L${SRCDIR}/lib -l:libfoo.a -l:libxml2.a
*/
import "C"What should I do get this fixed? I searched and it seems that I have to recompile that static library, which is mission impossible in my case. I tried to pass the -no-pie parameter to LDFLAGS, that didn't work either.
Thanks!
----------------------
1, first thing first, I don't have the c++ source code, so I can't recompile it.
2, I am using ubuntu 18, initially, I believe I install go via "apt-get install", but later I uninstall that version using "apt-get remove" , and then downloaded go1.9 pkg from official website and install directly.
