Compile issues on Linux (amd64) about cegui HOT 4 CLOSED

I think this is a bug in ubuntu. The X11 probably is'nt compiled with -fPIC.
I have no issues with using CEGUI on amd64.

The problem seems to be the GL library. I use nvidia's drivers (which provide a GL library) and they work just fine...

I suggest this should be closed, since there's not been any more mention of the issue.

This is definitely an issue with the library being linked to and not CEGUI - I experienced the same issue linking with a static Irrlicht library today. The solution was to recompile the Irrlicht library and ensure the use of the -fPIC option.

I do not see any sensible way to fix this kind of issue on our side unless we stop using dynamically linked objects all together ;)

After getting myself an install of the latest 6.10 Ubuntu for amd64 I can confirm that CEGUI and the OpenGL renderer build without any issues at all, so am closing this ticket.
