Assessment

Difficulty: 4/5
Estimated time: 3-5 days
Newbie friendliness: 35/100
Issue type: Bug
Clarity: Mostly clear
Activity status: Stale
Domain: build-system, infrastructure
Research direction

Start by locating the Sniper image's SDL2 package or build configuration and reproduce the reported linker failure when creating a shared object. Done means the Sniper-provided SDL2 library can be linked into shared objects without the shown non-PIC relocation errors.

Description

Your system information

Steam Runtime Version: Sniper
Distribution: Using the image registry.gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/sniper/sdk:latest
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Looks like SDL2 provided in the Sniper image was not built with Position-Independent Code (PIC), and is therefore unable to be used to build shared objects:
