/usr/local/lib/libxvidcore.a(qpel_mmx.o) relocation can not be used when making

[easi_k]

Hi,

while trying to compile my own avidemux this error has been thrown while making common plugins:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libxvidcore.a(qpel_mmx.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `xvid_FIR_14_3_2_1' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [ADM_videoEncoder/xvid4/libADM_ve_xvid4.so] Error 1

any idea what is wrong?

My setup:
avidemux_2.6.10
gcc version 4.8.4
libxvidcore.a comes from source I have compiled earlier, have no idea what version it is

Thanks

Hello,

I have these installed:

However libxvidcore.a installed by the package is located at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxvidcore.a. In the build log I can see it's trying to use library from /usr/local/lib/libxvidcore.a.
I have tried to rename /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxvidcore.a and link it to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxvidcore.a, but had not helped. Even the error is same. Have also tried to add param -fPIC to makefile section of libADM_ve_xvid4. Then error had changed to:

It cannot use a static lib (xvidcore.a) to build the plugin (libADM_vidEncXvid.so)
It will work if it can use the dynamic lib i.e. libxvidcore.so

[easi_k]

Great,
but how can I tell to use dynamic library? I have both Installed in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/. For some reason linker is looking for libs in /usr/local/lib where dynamic library might be missing. I will check, try to link /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxvidcore.so to /usr/local/lib and update later.
Thanks for help!

Can you use this build: avidemux Cli/Qt 2.6.911 64-bit deb download ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS

[easi_k]

Hi Guys,

so I have tried to link /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxvidcore.so to /usr/local/lib; make clean; make on plugins with no effect. I have decided to remove whole dir and unpack it again from fresly downloaded source and build is done with no error.

Anyway thanks for help!
