How to statically link PROJ to pybind11

I'm interested in statically linking PROJ to a library created with pybind11.
but, I get error by cmake.

Why am I getting this error and how can I fix it?

My CMakeLists.txt is this.

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.4)
project(myearth LANGUAGES CXX)

add_subdirectory(pybind11)
pybind11_add_module(myearth MyEarth.cpp)

include_directories(${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/PROJ/include)
add_library(proj4 STATIC IMPORTED)
set_target_properties(proj4 PROPERTIES IMPORTED_LOCATION ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/PROJ/lib/libproj.a)

target_link_libraries(myearth PRIVATE proj4)

CMake Error.
I think fPIC option is for shared library. so, libproj.a is not necessary this option because this is static library.

(venv) ~/Projects/LinkLibTest/MySample/build$ make

I created libproj.a by the following command.

$ ./configure --prefix=/output --disable-shared
$ sudo make
$ sudo make install

Thank you.

Solution

  • Shared libraries must have position independent code, but your version of PROJ was built without it; you will have to rebuild PROJ with PIC.

    $ ./configure --prefix=/output --with-pic
