[Darshan-users] Compiling Darshan with -fPIC

[Matthieu Dorier]

Hi, 

While installing Darshan-Ruby on a new plateforme (Debian with Linux kernel 3.2.0 amd64 and gcc 4.7), I encountered a compilation error, basically asking me to recompile Darshan with -fPIC. 
I tried to use CFLAGS=-fPIC but, I don't know why, it didn't work. I ended up changing the Makefile.in of Darshan, line 59 and 60, to the following: 





darshan-logutils.o: darshan-logutils.c 
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -fPIC -c $< -o $@ 

Maybe it could be useful to add the options of compiling Darshan with or without PIC (with PIC enabled by default), or even some kind of --enable-shared option to produce a libdarshan-util.so? 

Best,
