Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-05-10 11:12:52] dan+php dot net at obluda dot cz Maybe I miss the exact error message? gcc: unrecognized option `-prefer-pic' Hope it help to you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-05-10 11:05:12] dan+php dot net at obluda dot cz I hoped the the category 'copile failure' explain what the problem is. The description says why the gcc fail during compilation sources (because of unknown option passed to it), the summary say's it also. The description suggest fix also - check if option is supported then don't call gcc with it if don't. What kind of information I missed to reveal ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-05-10 10:23:51] tony2001@php.net >It should not be used when not supported. Is there any problem with this option? If no, then what's the problem? If yes, then is it a secret? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-05-09 10:39:50] dan+php dot net at obluda dot cz Description: ------------ old gcc (2.95.4) avaiable on some older OSes (FreeBSD 4.x) doesn't know the prefer-pic/no-prefer-pic option. It's used in several places, especially in configure.in pre-script. It should not be used when not supported.
