Hi,
Ubuntu 10.4 k3b does not rip dvds like Suse 11.2 does. I downloaded the source
k3b-1.93.0rc4.tar.bz2. The cmake fails with a linker error:
usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libavcodec.a(utils.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S
against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with
-fPIC
/usr/local/lib/libavcodec.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [lib/k3bffmpegdecoder.so] Error 1
make[1]: *** [plugins/decoder/ffmpeg/CMakeFiles/k3bffmpegdecoder.dir/all] Error
2

How does one compile a single module, ffmpeg(?) in the middle of a cmake
process? I followed the instructions exactly and they don't work. Perhaps your
elves know of an easy hackaround for this common, simple problem. Please put it
in the documentation so users wont have to pester you. 

Why would only 1 module need -fpic? 



Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Download the source, follow the instructions...


Expected Results:  
folow instructions, get working program 

I built this thing on 9.10 without issue. The bug was apparently introduced
recently. By crash below, I mean a crash in the build which precludes even
running the program so is just as bad as a crash.
