Cannot build aura bot - src/sqlite3.o

[HamAndRock]

I am trying to build aura bot, but when i try to compile aure itself it thorws this error, doing it on Debian 9. Thanks for any help, HamAndRock.

Hey, this seems like an issue with LTO as the linker denies the object file (which is now not machine code but some kind of IR, which needs extra support). Could you try editing the Makefile and remove the -flto flag from the following line:

OFLAGS = -O3 -flto

and then compile, just to confirm?

And while you're at it, also post the output from gcc --version and ld --version.

gcc vesion: gcc (Debian 6.3.0-18) 6.3.0 20170516 ld version: GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.30

This is new output:

Ok it compiled by adding -fPIC to OFLAGS, if you have any other solution or better way tell me, never worked with this, so its random guess that works :D.

Hey, could you try reverting the temporary changes and trying again after installing binutils-gold rather than plain old binutils? The difference being that the gold linker supports LTO out-of-the-box. And perhaps you won't have a problem at all then.

The second issue regarding PIC is Debian related: https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/ppc64el/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#pie-is-now-default

Going to need some kind of distro-detection check.
