Hi peeps

Today, I've upgraded AppGameKit to the newest version and Xubuntu to 18.04, I think some G++ compiler have been updated too. I now get a whole lot of these errors where it says I need to recompile with -fPIC.

/usr/bin/ld: ../../platform/linux/Lib/Release64/libAGKLinux.a(poly1305.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIC

I've tried adding -fPIC to the build command but that won't compile either, it says:
make: PIC: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target 'PIC'. Stop.

I'm using Netbeans 8.2 btw.

Does anybody know what I can do?

They have made some upgrades to the renderer in agk but that should not cause this?

Probably some things thats changed in ubuntu?

They are fighting over rights to parts in Linux lately?

AGK is not built with position independent code enabled (PIC) so the final executable cannot be position independent either. It seems 18.04 tries to build position independent executables by default, you can tell it not to by using the option -no-pie

Awesome Paul, thanks, I will try that when I get back from vacation My solution for now for was to install Xubuntu 16 on an old laptop and bring that on our getaway. Your software is awesome! Coding with AGK2 is so easy.

Or so I thought The build command says it completed successfully, but there is no new executable.

I can't find any reports that -no-pie is broken in general, have you tried cleaning the project first and deleting any existing executable?

Yes, I've deleted my executable, and I always run Clean->Build. I can't rule out that I've messed something up while trying to get stuff working. I did move the entire project to a Ubuntu 16 laptop, same result until I removed -no-pie.
