Disable -fPIC flag when building for embedded #992

Closed sijohans closed 4 years ago

sijohans commented 4 years ago

Hello,

I am building this library for en embedded target (nRF52840) using arm-none-eabi-gcc 7.3.1. When i am linking the static library i encounter runtime errors. I have found out that if compiling libsodium without -fPIE and -fPIC it works well.

I cannot understand how i disable PIC using the configure script. Is this supported?

These are automatically disabled on that target. Make sure that you're not using an old version.

Thank you, saw in the build script that the tag 1.0.18 was used. When checking out stable i did indeed not get the -fPIC or -fPIE flag. Thanks again.
