Hi, I am using fontconfig-2.3.2 and face some compilation problems. It says: checking for suffix of executable build tools... configure: error: Cannot determine suffix of executable build tools I am appending my configure Out put. How to solve this problem. All my environmental variables are ok as far as i know. CC, LD, PATH, CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS... what could be the problem ?. Please advice. Regards.
