Hey, just noticed that there was another thread that touched on an issue that I encountered:
https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/219884. Error messages are those such as:
/usr/bin/ld: ../../platform/linux/Lib/Release64/libAGKLinux.a(sweep.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.8' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
I managed to solve that issue by trying a few different versions of gcc, and it seems that anything over 5.4 causes the issues. So whilst it works by installing an old version up to 5.4, doing that on a recent distro can be problematic, requiring it to be built from source without overriding the default versions - I did that on Debian Stretch 9.3, and Ubuntu 17.10.
So, any chance of having the libraries compiled under a more recent gcc so this issue is avoided? Realise that some people may need to guarantee compatibility with older distros, so maybe have two different libraries?
