Package: gtest Version: 1.6.0-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
The libgtest.a library is not build with -fPIC. This inhibits linking against objects compiled with -fPIC. To fix this, the CXXFLAGS should include -fPIC for the static library. I am providing a patch that ensures -fPIC is used for all built libraries. I applied the patch for Ubuntu Precise and uploaded it as 1.6.0-1ubuntu1 in the meantime.
