 |
|
I am getting following error message while trying to do emerge (or for that matter any other compilation). How can I rectify the problem? I checked for the path to various libraries and binaries and found them to be consistent as far as I new. What could be the possible cause of the problem? Please reply asap.
Error msg:
checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
check `config.log' for details.
make: *** [unix-def.mk] Error 77
!!! ERROR: media-libs/freetype-2.1.4 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 42, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)
TIA
Sincerely
Santosh Tiwari |

That error is often CFLAGS. Did you, in fact:
| Code: |
check `config.log' for details.
|
As instructed? It will often point out a compile option that is the difficulty.
Also, search these forums on the "cannot create executables" error - you will find a large number of hits, many of which will be helpful. |

| I remove the option "-mmx" and it worked. |

| Note that the option should have been -mmmx (3 m's). |
