Avifile package - help needed

[Zdenek Kabelac <kabi@informatics.muni.cz>]

Hi everyone

After a while there is finaly version which looks stable enough for me, 
so there are new packages of this program available here

http://master.debian.org/~kabi/libaviplay_20010103-1_i386.deb
http://master.debian.org/~kabi/avifile-player_20010103-1_i386.deb
http://master.debian.org/~kabi/codecs-win32_20001025-1_i386.deb
http://master.debian.org/~kabi/avifile-samples_20010103-1_i386.deb

However there are still some errors which prevents this package to be
released - namely this one:

E: libaviplay: shlib-with-non-pic-code usr/lib/libaviplay.so.0.0.0

I'm unable for now to recompile this library with -fPIC flag because
the author of avifile seems to be joining two libraries into one and
this is probably the cause why the linking stage is producing these
warnings:

../lib/.libs/libaviplay.so: undefined reference to
`Mpegtoraw::generate(void)'
../lib/.libs/libaviplay.so: undefined reference to
`Mpegtoraw::wgetbits(int)'
../lib/.libs/libaviplay.so: undefined reference to
`Mpegtoraw::generate_2(void)'
....
....

However without -fPIC code the library seems to be fully operational and
I would
say that now at least the aviplay reached the stage of very good
usability
(it least it's finally able to play subtitles in non-isolatin1 encoding)

Anyway all the sources are also available here
http://master.debian.org/~kabi/
(basically tar.gz is CVS snapshot & there is small diff file with debian
rules,
so the package could be build directly from CVS, if its compilable in
that time)

Those how need this program right now could download these .deb files
manually
If there is anyone who knows how to solve this situation please let me
know.


PS: Should I upload the package with lintian's error ?
