 |
|
hi gentoo folk,
i'm encountering this error message emerging avifile:
| Code: | checking for C++ compiler default output... configure: error: compiler cannot create executables
see 'config.log' for more details
|
i can post the file if someone is interested, but i couldn't find any useful information inside.
is there a way to bypass this problem?
thanks! |

|

looking into what it is doing at the point of failure I see that the config script is trying to validate that a particular version of g++ is available .. it is testing to see that "i586-pc-linux-gnu-g++" is working.
well .. it is not!! I have g++ 3.2.2 emerged into this stage 3 build. I have a Pentium I MMX 200 MHz chip and so my
CFLAG="-O2 -march=pentium-mmx -pipe"
when I go into /usr/bin i have gcc, g++ and c++ which are all the same. AND I have i586-pc-linux-gnu-g++ i586-pc-linux-gnu-gcc and i586-pc-linux-gnu-c++ also in /usr/bin which are the same files (as seen by diff). But none of these run. I get the error Could not run/locate "i586-blah
This is nuts as the G++, gcc and c++ executables are the same as their i586-blah siblings, and yes, all have world execute permissions
anyone know what this error means?

CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu"

you are welcome NaRF .. I saw something on another thread that made me think that i had wound up with a mismatch between different tools .. so I did
after making sure that I did NOT have ACCEPT_KEYWORDS set to anything. When the (very!) log build completed the i586 versions of all of my gcc executables worked just fine, and so the build preceeded.

Hmmm. for me, emerge --update avifile fails with the same "compiler cannot create executables" error, when ACCEPT_KEYWORDS is commented out or set to "":
| Code: |
checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++... i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++
checking for C++ compiler default output... configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
!!! ERROR: media-video/avifile-0.7.32.20030219 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 304, Exitcode 77
!!! econf failed
|
However, if I uncomment and set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86", then emerge --update, the emerge wants to downgrade a number of packages:
| Code: | emerge --update --pretend avifile
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

(I interrupted this before it downgraded all of them.)
...or does the version in brackets mean the one I already have, and all those "ebuild U"'s mean that those packages would need to be UPgraded? (newb here) If so, then with RC4, gnome only builds successfully with some "unstable, in testing, packages". I saw that it had *for sure* already downgraded at least one package before this.
Portage is completely new to me, but does this error simply mean that the avifile ebuild depends on experimental or old libraries? This would mean I can't build gnome (depends on avifile) without downgrading some of my libraries from the recent, "stable" versions
Also, why would no ACCEPT_KEYWORDS have the opposite effect for me as for vulcan_? |

if you see only 'U' then portage is going to upgrade
if you see 'UD' then it is a downgrade

in green => package version to be merged
in red => package version installed on your system
You were making confusion about the place were things are displayed

i had the same problem yesterday. i changed my CHOST setting in make.conf from i686 to i586 for the avifile emerge and everything was fine.
| Code: |
#CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu"
