Linking Fails on AURGAViewer.a; Running the binary directly gives a Segmenation fault (Kubuntu 22.04)

[colinpickup]

I am following the instructions, but getting the following code when I try and link the file:

/usr/bin/ld: AURGAViewer.a(Main.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.bss' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIE
/usr/bin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

From my understanding, the recompilation with -fPIE would need to be done when the AURGAViewer.a filewas generated, not when I am linking.

If I try and run the binaries included in the distribution, it just outputs "Segmentation fault".

Has anybody managed to get past this?

I have run into the same issue. My environment is also Kubuntu 22.04. I followed the steps for building FFMPEG and tried linking the binary in both the OpenGLES2/ and OpenGL3/ directories. In both cases I got the same error message:

/usr/bin/ld: AURGAViewer.a(Main.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.bss' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIE
/usr/bin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Same issue here with Pop!_OS. As a workaround I just launched Windows version through Wine.

Yep, fails in ubuntu mantic (23.10) as well. I'm guessing the devs don't really pay attention to Linux considering they their install instructions involved linking static libraries. :-P

Based on the first issue it sounds like just installing the windows version with wine is probably the way to go.

Verified. Wine is a much better solution. Download the Windows x86 installer for win8+ and just run wine AURGAViewer_Installer_x64_v1.0.9.0.exe.
