Can't build node as a shared libary

[samehkamaleldin]

I'm trying to build node as a shared library on ubuntu 12.4.4, but I'm getting an error in the make job.

I've changed the build target type in node.gyp to be a shared library as the following:

'targets': [
    {
      'target_name': 'node',
      'type': 'shared_library'

then I've executed ./configure then make -j8, but an error occurred during the build process.

/out/Release/libopenssl.a(bio_ssl.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `
.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

I don't know what's the problem exactly and how this can be fixed ?

You might be interested in #7336.

Edit: close?

Will close once that's landed.

Closing this for now in favor of nodejs/roadmap#9. Essentially, deferring this to the converged repo
