Additional context I have tried compiling older versions of glib and libffi with no result, I also have tried in multiple devices and fails all the times in Centos, but Windows 10 and Windows 7 works fine.

@JackBoosY Hi, is there any information additionally I can provide to solve the issue?

[JackBoosY]

/opt/rh/devtoolset-7/root/usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/7/ld: /root/vcpkg/installed/x64-linux/debug/lib/pkgconfig/../../lib/libffi.a(unix64.S.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `abort@@GLIBC_2.2.5' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

This is very different with mine, can you please provide the config logs _/tmp/rez_builderiwSvwF/buildtrees/glib/config-x64-linux-dbg-out.log and _/tmp/rez_builderiwSvwF/buildtrees/glib/config-x64-linux-dbg-err.log?

And I think I saw this error before...

[Pixel-Minions]

config-x64-linux-dbg-out.log package-x64-linux-dbg-out.log

@JackBoosY The config-x64-linux-dbg-err.log is empty, nothing gets added there.

[Pixel-Minions]

@JackBoosY I wonder if it is related to shared libraries missing when compiling the libffi, I recompiled using set(CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE ON) to force the flag fPIC in the libffi port file but no luck.

[jmacey]

Just to say I was having the same issue, I did the following.

1. add set(CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE ON) to ports/libffi/CMakeLists.txt (near the top)
2. vcpkg remove libffi
3. vcpkg install libffi
4. edit ports/glib/vcpkg.json and remove libffi as a dep (not sure if this is needed).

It has now installed. I'm now testing a build against it.

This is on RHEL 7.7 using the latest devtools7 and latest vcpkg .

[JackBoosY]

So I confirm this issue is due to libffi.

[jimwang118]

Not reproduced on Ubuntu with the latest version of vcpkg.
