Hello,

I'm trying to build from source, on this hash 99e93e24b89e13e9e1ccf6c3665814e61f59fa48 using the cmd line:

cmake -DUSE_qt6=off -DUSE_STATIC=on -DBUILD_wireshark=OFF -DBUILD_tshark=OFF   -DBUILD_editcap=OFF -DBUILD_capinfos=OFF  -DBUILD_captype=OFF -DBUILD_mergecap=OFF -DBUILD_reordercap=OFF -DBUILD_text2pcap=OFF -DBUILD_dftest=OFF -DBUILD_randpkt=OFF  -DBUILD_rawshark=OFF -G Ninja ..

(I just want to statically build dumpcap)

I'm getting the following error:

/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: bad value

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

I'm on Ubuntu 20.04, using gcc 8.4 and libgpg-error-dev is version 1.37-1.

Does this means that I have to rebuild that lib from source also?
If that's the issue do you know by any chance, any compatible version of libgpg-error-dev  which is compiled with fPIC?

Can I get a self contained dumpcap binary in any other way?

Thanks.
