[Buildroot] C Compiler cannot create executables

[Buildroot] C Compiler cannot create executables

[Ignacio Lorenzo Subirá Otal]

Hi!, I'm having this error while making a make in buildroot and I don't
know why because I have been using gcc to compile several other programs
and works fine for me.
What can I do to avoid this error?.

Thanks for your help

[Buildroot] C Compiler cannot create executables

[Alexander Kriegisch]

Posting a bit of log output would be helpful, so here is just an
educated guess: I sometimes get errors like this if there is something
wrong with my build prerequisites or with ccache. Usually it helps to
issue a manual recompile of your build prerequisites (e.g. libs your
package depends on) in order for the "compiler cannot create
executables" thing to disappear.

Hi changed some configuration in order to get a target for a geode and
the log of the error is:

[Buildroot] C compiler cannot create executables

[Micha Holzmann]

Hello,

after compiling buildroot successfully, i mounted the rootfs via loop,
copied the tar sources into the rootfs an did chroot. After cd to the
tar source dir i run ./configure.

sh-3.2# ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... no
checking for awk... awk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
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.

in config.log i found: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc

What have i did wrong or what is missing.

Best regards,
Micha Holzmann
