Hi, I'm trying to do a few simple things to check my system is set up & build some confidence.. I thought I'd try and get m4-1.4.1 to compile from source [because there's already one in sparemint, and I'd guess m4 is a fairly basic gnu utility] Anyway, I try ./configure and it generates a config.h file, and then when I make, I get lots of redefined symbols, I could manually mess with config.h so it gets closer to compiling. But I'd rather figure out the reasons for configure not doing its job correctly. Here are some lines from configure that don't seem right: checking for library containing strerror... no checking for tmpfile... no and config.log suggests its looking for c_g? Any obvious things I should check? Any obvious libraries I don't have? thanks, Matt. configure:2796: checking for library containing strerror configure:2826: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c >&5 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc_g collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure:2832: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: | /* confdefs.h. */ | | #define PACKAGE_NAME "" | #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "" | #define PACKAGE_VERSION "" | #define PACKAGE_STRING "" | #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "" | #define PRODUCT "m4" | #define VERSION "1.4.1" | /* end confdefs.h. */ | | /* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error. */ | #ifdef __cplusplus | extern "C" | #endif | /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2 | builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */ | char strerror (); | int | main () | { | strerror (); | ; | return 0; | } |
