Fails to build because it requires RocksDB to be build with -fPIC

[roncemer]

With the latest rocksdb, I get this error when building rocksdb-php:

g++ -std=c++11 -fPIC -shared src/.cpp -lrocksdb -lpthread -lrt -lsnappy -lgflags -lz -lbz2 -lphpcpp -lmemenv -I./src/include -o bin/rocksdb_php.so

Issue should be resolved now. You have to compile RocksDB with -fPIC now. I've updated the README on how to do that.

I've also fixed the Makefile to no longer link to libmemenv, because it appears that this is no longer necessary.

Thanks for reporting it!

Can you please verify that it builds now so I can close the issue?

Why -fPIC is now necessary?
