The build of libkubernetes.so will fail:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libyaml.a(api.c.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `yaml_realloc' 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
CMakeFiles/kubernetes.dir/build.make:19861: recipe for target 'libkubernetes.so' failed
make[2]: *** [libkubernetes.so] Error 1
CMakeFiles/Makefile2:67: recipe for target 'CMakeFiles/kubernetes.dir/all' failed
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/kubernetes.dir/all] Error 2
Makefile:129: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

After I rebuilt and installed libyaml to a shared library:

user@machine:~/libyaml/build# cmake .. -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=1
sudo make install

The libkubernetes.so can be built successfully.

Do you propose making a change here?

[ityuhui]

Yes. I suggest updating the readme and actions/workflow to build libyaml as a shared library.

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=1 .. 

[ahmedyarub]

 -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=

Done

[ahmedyarub]

Next I'll make some adaptations for Android, iOS, MacOS and possibly WASM!

@ahmedyarub Thanks to your contribution now the C client library supports Windows !

@ahmedyarub Thanks to your contribution now the C client library supports Windows !

Next I'll work on adaptations for Android, MacOS, iOS, and Emscripten

[ityuhui]

Hi @ahmedyarub

• Supporting MacOS is useful !
• But I am afraid that users rarely use the C client library on Android or iOS...
• For the Emscripten, as far as I known, it is used to convert C code to asm.js, but what's the purpose because community has a Javascript client library (https://github.com/kubernetes-client/javascript)
