Bug Description

make fail on AMD64 for midori 0.5.6

/usr/bin/ld.bfd.real: libmidori-core-vala.a(midori-paths.c.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `midori_paths_mode' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

using

set(VALA_CFLAGS "-w -g -fPIC")

seems to solve this

gcc --version
gcc-4.6.real (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3

Comments for build problems on the PPA dev :

Thanks to kalikiana ppa can build with cmake in PPA.

I have to create two recipes owned by midori dev team as it couldn't build anymore with new debian policy and and as we could not modify the existing recipes

For GTK2 : https://code.launchpad.net/~midori/+recipe/new-midori-daily-gtk2

For GTK 3 : https://code.launchpad.net/~midori/+recipe/new-midori-daily-gtk3

Midori team can change now, if needed, daily build with build on demand
