[fdo-users] Compilation on 64-bit linux

[Traian Stanev]

Try linking to a current version of boost installed by the OS, rather than the one local to FDO/ThirdParty.

It is possible to build FDO and some of the providers in x86-64, however it is not easy to do so. Your best bet is to link as many of the OS-installed libraries as possible instead of compiling the ones from FDO/ThirdParty. Previously it was possible to do this basically for all third party libraries, but it changed with newer versions of Ubuntu due to the built in Xerces being incompatible with Xalan (which FDO requires) and compatible builds of Xalan are no longer available, so you will have to mix and match.

Subject: [fdo-users] Compilation on 64-bit linux

Hi,

I'm trying to build fdo-3.6.0_5104 on 64-bit Linux (openSUSE 10.2 x86-64, gcc 4.1.2, ld 2.17.50.0.5). I've run into a number of problems, some of which I've been able to resolve with minor tweaks to source code or build scripts. (The biggest change was I made was to use gdal-1.8.0 rather than gdal-1.7.1, as I couldn't get the latter to compile.)

The thing that currently has me stumped is this:

/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.1.2/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld:
/usr/users/robinn/projects/rs2.2/fdo/source/OpenSource_FDO/Thirdparty/boost/stage/lib/libboost_thread.a(thread.o):
relocation R_X86_64_32 against `boost::detail::(anonymous namespace)::create_current_thread_tls_key()' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/users/robinn/projects/rs2.2/fdo/source/OpenSource_FDO/Thirdparty/boost/stage/lib/libboost_thread.a:
could not read symbols: Bad value

I see that this has been encountered before:

http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/ticket/424

but it doesn't look like this was ever resolved.

Does anyone know if it is possible to build this (or any other) version of FDO on 64-bit Linux and, if so, how?

Any help appreciated,
Robin
