Problem with build on Ubuntu - PIE object

[TheLinuxGuy]

Hey, I've got several problems with building OTClient on Ubuntu 18.04.

Here is my log after make ./otclient:

/usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/7/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libogg.a(framing.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIC

/usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output

make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/otclient.dir/rule] Error 2

make: *** [otclient] Error 2

I've no knowledge about CMake, make or any C/C++ building-related stuff. Hope you guys could help me?

Thanks in advance.

I'm facing the same issue RN, and even applying the "-fPIC" flags in the CMakeCache.txt file still got no success so far

UPDATE: I found a solution. Check the Pull Request with the fix @ Add -no-pie option to CMAKE_CXX_LINK_FLAGS by ltgouvea · Pull Request #987 · edubart/otclient and let me know if it worked.

thanks bro! worked for me

I had to edit this line to:

set(CMAKE_CXX_LINK_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_LINK_FLAGS} -fPIC -no-pie -Wl,-Map=${PROJECT_NAME}.map")

to make it work.
