Compiling on Freebsd 8.1 - AMD64

I'm trying to compile Firebird 2.1.3 on Freebsd 8.1 Amd64 using this procedure, without success:

export CFLAGS="-DAMD64"
./configure --without-editline
gmake

... and after a while I get this:

...
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libsupc++.a(tinfo2.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib/libsupc++.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
gmake[2]: *** [../gen/firebird/lib/libfbclient.so.2.1.3] Error 1
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/home/martin/desarrollo/Firebird-2.1.3.18185-0/gen'
gmake[1]: *** [libfbclient] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/home/martin/desarrollo/Firebird-2.1.3.18185-0/gen'
gmake: *** [firebird] Error 2

Any hint?

I think the linker complains because libsupc++.a was built without
-fPIC and therefore is not suitable for a shared object that is
created for dynamic linking, such as libfbclient.so.

If recompiling libsupc++ with -fPIC is not feasible, you may be
interested in this patch[1] from the Debian package which replaces
static linking with libsupc++.a with dynamic linking with libstdc++.

Agreed, exactly this reason.

More or less same approach is also present in FB 2.5.

Can you send the patches to ports at freebsd.org ?

seems that firebird port is quite stalled there (no maintainer from what i see)

Re: Compiling on Freebsd 8.1 - AMD64

If you were able to build a recent Firebird from sources on FreeBSD, without
using the FreeBSD port, I'd very much like to see the patches. :)

I use FreeBSD A LOT, and being stuck on Firebird 2.0.3 means I haven't seen
many of the more recent features.

Thanks for your work!!

Nige.

Nige, I've checked FB2.5 on freebsd a few months ago, and it compiled
(and installed in CS mode OK). I do not suppose it got broken at RC
stages, moreover we have actively supported port for Mac, which is also
BSD-based.
