attached patch fixes that vdr (the executable and the static lib libpsi) get compiled with fPIC. Only shared libs need PIC, thus add this flag only when building plug-ins. Furthermore I added -g and -Wall to CFLAGS, as well, because of reasons of symmetry.
Did I miss this posting?
Don't know. Should be posted to the list.
Did anybody else receive that posting? If so, can you please forward a copy to me?
Updated patch: I forgot to add -g -Wall to Make.conf.template... ...
Too late for version 1.4.0 - will look into this later.
Or does this patch fix an actual problem?
Well, I don't think compiling too much code as PIC will cause problems (apart from (minor) possible performance lost), nevertheless it is unneeded.
Is that "compile time" or "runtime" performance?
Apparently PIC is only available on special processors, especially *not* Intel, so I can't test this myself.
Let's wait with this until after version 1.4.
