[Pbrt-discuss] Couldn't get symbol "CreateLight"

[Jonas Peter]

I added -fPIC to CXXFLAGS to avoid this error

Building Integrator Plugin "directlighting"
/usr/bin/ld: objs/directlighting.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `vtable 
for DirectLighting' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile 
with -fPIC
objs/directlighting.o: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
