[x264-devel] Re: vlc + x264

[joel]

Alvin,

I am not sure at all, but try also to use --extra-ldflags=-fPIC in your 
configure call. It should do the trick. I have read somewhere (can't 
remember where) that you should compile AND link with this option to 
make the library "user" happy.
Hope this help

Joël
