[stunnel-users] [stunnel-announce] stunnel 5.10 released - Problem compiling stunnel 5.10 with openssl 1.0.2

Wed Feb 25 19:50:47 CET 2015

stunnel 5.10
openssl 1.0.2
Ubuntu 10.04 Server lucid

after installing automake-1.14.1 (required as of 5.08) and running configure without a problem, make fails with this message:

/usr/bin/ld: /ssl-1.0.2/lib/libssl.a(s2_srvr.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/ssl-1.0.2/lib/libssl.a: could not read symbols: Bad value

I can resolve this issue by commenting the assignment of CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in the stunnel configure script so  -fPIE and -pie -fPIE are not implemented.

#        stunnel_CFLAGS="$stunnel_CFLAGS -fPIE"

#        stunnel_LDFLAGS="$stunnel_LDFLAGS -pie -fPIE"

This is not required in stunnel 5.07 or earlier versions.  I'm not sure exactly what the issue is here.. can anyone explain what the conflict is?
Thx Pete
