Re: Bug#188916: Appying the patch upstream? compiling with -fPIC?

[Christian BAYLE <bayle@aist.enst.fr>]

Hi all

If the debian maintainer absolutly refuse to apply the patch
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?archive=no&bug=148955)
an other solution would be to compile the lib3ds static lib with -fPIC
Maybe upstream *J E Hoffmann*, I CC, will accept Martin Quinson patch
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi/dynamic_lib?bug=148955&msg=21&att=1)
so Marcello will be happy and me too :)

Cheers

Christian
