I am trying to create a shared library in linux I get the following error when trying to compile this :

relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

If i remove the contents of GetCrc16 it Works. What am I doing wrong ?

    -fPIC instructs the compiler to compile your code as Position Independent Code. This is needed so that the machine code executed properly regardless of the absolute address.

    These are needed mainly for shared libraries, as the same library code can be loaded in a location in each program’s address space where it will not overlap with other uses of memory etc.

    Following links can provide more info.

    SO: Why isn't all code compiled position independent?
