libFIST : recompile with -fPIC

While trying to make the repo, I get the following error with the FIST library.

Makefile:90: recipe for target 'acd2d_gui' failed
make: *** [acd2d_gui] Error 1

From what I understand, the compilation requires the shared object for the FIST library. How can I generate the shared object for FIST?

Solved it by adding -no-pie in the CFLAGS inside the Makefile
