Re: C compiler

Re: C compiler

[Ken Martwick]

With the help of Gregg Levine <obiwanthejediknight@worldnet.att.net>,
a version of the Small-C compiler has been ported to ELKS and seems
to work well (and quickly)!  Now, of course, an assembler, a linker,
and a library are needed.  The ideal assembler would be a simple DOS
assembler (with source) which could be ported to ELKS.  If anyone is
aware of such, please let me know.  Since I don't know of any, I have
compiled "as86" with "bcc" so it can run under ELKS.  The result runs
(and works) successfully with the "doselks" emulator, but fails while
trying to allocate 44,032 bytes of memory under ELKS.  If anyone who
is familiar with the kernel can look at the problem, I can send a tar-
ball of the (slightly-modified) assembler source tree.

as86 is probably what you want - as86/ld86 already load and link binaries
against the current C library so that side of the process is done

Make sure you chmem it to a large data size

C Compiler

[Peter]

Season Greetings!

Trying to install a program I get:

checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot 
create executables

when doing ./configure in RH9.

How do I correct this error?

Thanks & regards

Try searching for this exact phrase, with quotation marks surrounding 
it, on Google.

I can't be of much help here since I stopped using RedHat at version 7.3. However it sounds like 
your C compiler may be broken.
What do you get from the following commands:

rpm -qa | grep gcc
gcc --version

Can you write a hello world program and compile it by hand?

If gcc is installed and working, perhaps the configure script is not finding it. 
Try ./configure --help. You can usually pass ./configure an option to force it to use your gcc. 

Hth.

you *must* install gcc and development packages for gcc and glibc

I used to get the same message on my Deb system. I had not installed 
glibc ( I was trying to do everything manually :-) and some other 
packages related to gcc.
reinstall gcc from scratch and you are done.
