Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] [Wireshark-commits] rev 46608: /trunk/ /trunk/: Makefile.am

I had that problem too actually: do a make clean. It appears that the dumpcap-*.o files aren't being rebuilt automatically (and they need to be so they get compiled with -fPIE so they can be linked into dumpcap).

I have been getting a link error for dumpcap since this revision that
doesn't appear to be showing up in the buildbots.

Output as follows:
/usr/bin/ld.bfd.real: dumpcap-capture-pcap-util-unix.o: relocation
R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.8' can not be used when making a
shared object; recompile with -fPIC
dumpcap-capture-pcap-util-unix.o: could not read symbols: Bad value

This is on a bleeding-edge Ubuntu pre-release, so it's possibly a
toolchain issue on my end, but I think that's unlikely.

Log:
 As suggested in https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8076 :

 Enable PIE (if the compiler supports it) when compiling dumpcap.  Do this
 regardless of whether we're configured to install dumpcap setuid-root because
 some users will end up running dumpcap as root regardless of how we were
 configured.
