Hi guys,
This is mostly for Google's benefit: my own woes building OpenSSL in order
to build SVN.
When building OpenSSL for use in neon/SVN on Solaris 2.7/i86pc, instead
of the previously-mentioned OpenSSL config command:
# ./config threads zlib shared
I originally did:
# ./config threads zlib
ie, no shared, because the static lib was all SVN needed.
But the OpenSSL static lib later on gets linked into some shared object
or other (I suppose either a neon or a SVN lib). So it was trying to link
the non-PIC code in libssl.a into a shared object, which should contain
only PIC code. This caused obscure messages from Sun's ld, from memory
something like "relocations remain against allocated but non-writable
sections", which AFAIK is SunSpeak for "you need to use PIC and you
aren't".
The solution was to rebuild OpenSSL with:
# ./config threads zlib -fPIC -DPIC
and then rebuild Subversion. Those flags are for GCC; I don't know what
the Sun Workshop or whatever other compilers need in this situation.
Hope this helps somebody,
