configure Says gcc Can't Create Excecutables [ Reply ] By: Techno Cat on 2011-04-12 01:27	[forum:2086]
After downloading the package archive and verifying the signature, I used these commands in Terminal: cd ~/Downloads/gpa-0.9.0 && ./configure && make && make check && make install and got this: “checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... ./install-sh -c -d checking for gawk... no checking for mawk... no checking for nawk... no checking for awk... awk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no checking for style of include used by make... GNU checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details.” followed by the command prompt.

…but I know gcc can create C executables, because I've compiled a C project before in Xcode (which uses gcc) and I got (surprise!) a nix executable. What gives? Potentially helpful information: OS: Okay, so I'm not really* running this, but for these purposes it's probably the same, so just work with me as if I were running Mac OS X/Snow Leopard/7 (v10.6.7) . (I'm legally bound not to say what OS I'm really running. Don't ask.) Kernel: Darwin Kernel Version 11.0.0 i386 Processor: 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo RAM: 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3 I'm happy to provide any more system information that might be helpful in solving this problem (within reason and not counting OS version info) .
