[mapguide-users] Mapguide 1.2.0 "make" error (recompile with -fPIC)

[Muhammad Mubashar Shoaib]

Hi everyone,

I have been struggling with mapguide server installation on my Cent OS 4.5
box for a while now. I followed the instructions as found on
http://mapguide.osgeo.org/1.2/docs/BuildConfigureMgOpenSourceOnLinux/Index.html

I issued the configure command as follows:

$# ./configure --enable-optimized --with-pic
--with-fdo-include=/usr/local/fdo-3.2.2/include/
--with-fdo-lib=/usr/local/fdo-3.2.2/lib/
$# make

The make command ended up spitting out the following error:

It appears as if it is suggesting the use of -fPIC flag, although as you may
notice in the configure command above, I have used the --with-pic flag (I
assume that this should be covered due to the use of this flag).

Other details:

$# gcc -dumpversion

I am all ears for your suggestions.
