I use the standard: ./configure --with-xxxx; make; make install; sequence to build/install the libs. Unfortunately I cannot figure out if the -fPIC is activated while compiling the code... and I don't know how to check the PIC status from the resulting .so files (it is possible and does it make sense? I'm not an expert with this concept). I only know that if I missed the -fPIC flag on this system, I have linker errors.
This is what we did in our boost 1.36 RPM spec file. Probably not the best way to do this, but it worked: %build ./configure --prefix=%{_prefix} --libdir=%{_libdir} cat Makefile | sed -e 's/BJAM_CONFIG=/BJAM_CONFIG=--layout=system --build-type=complete cxxflags=-fPIC/' > Makefile.new mv Makefile.new Makefile make all --> Mika Heiskanen
