[jira] [Created] (ORC-765) Added build option to compile libraries with position independent code

Ben Givertz created ORC-765:
-------------------------------

             Summary: Added build option to compile libraries with position independent code
                 Key: ORC-765
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ORC-765
             Project: ORC
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: C++
    Affects Versions: 1.6.7
            Reporter: Ben Givertz


When building the ORC c++ library, it will compile itself and its third party dependencies as static libraries. However, on linux, it is not possible to link these libraries to a shared object unless they are compiled with position independent code.


I have added a BUILD_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_LIB option to the CMake file which is turned OFF by default. However, if a user needs to compile the static libraries with PIC, they are able to specify so by turning the option ON. This will effect liborc and all of its external dependencies.
