errors linking standard functions on solaris

[sedj]

Hi,

Compiling the below problem on solaris 5.9 with gcc 3.2, I get the following errors linking :

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void simple_func() {
        FILE* mylog = fopen("/tmp/simple_func.mylog", "at");
        fclose(mylog);
}

Compiling using :

gcc bla.c -o bla.so -shared

gives the errors :

Text relocation remains                         referenced
    against symbol                  offset      in file
<unknown>                           0x4         /var/tmp//ccqx8rg9.o

fopen                               0x14        /var/tmp//ccqx8rg9.o
fclose                              0x24        /var/tmp//ccqx8rg9.o
ld: fatal: relocations remain against allocatable but non-writable sections
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Another weird thing is if I alter the code so its not a shared lib, has a 'main', and compile to an exe, then it links just fine.

Never had these problems on Linux x86 platforms .... anybody got an idea of the problem ?

Thanks for any help !

Why is it you can spend ages googling, finally post a question, and then find the answer yourself 2 minutes later ?!

Anyhow, I added the switch -fPIC , and it compiled up.
