Folks, I need a little help. I have debian woody (of sorts) running on a psion 5mx pda. I am going through the process of getting useful applications working on it. I have used dpkg to install gcc, binutils and make and any of the dependecies needed until no more wingeing was done about dependencies, and I beleive the install was good. As a simlple test I tried to compile the source code for netcat. I typed ./configure and it made a start, but returned an error. Checking for C compiler defaults output filename... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables - see "config.log" for more details. What have I not done? Best regards to all Adrian Wells This is the config.log file This file contains any messages produced by compilers while running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake. It was created by configure, which was generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59. Invocation command line was $ ./configure ## --------- ## ## Platform. ## ## --------- ## hostname = kludged-linux uname -m = armv4l uname -r = 2.4.18-rmk6-5mx4 uname -s = Linux uname -v = #1 Wed Jul 24 15:28:41 BST 2002 /usr/bin/uname -p = unknown /bin/uname -X = unknown /bin/arch = armv4l /usr/bin/arch -k = unknown /usr/convex/getsysinfo = unknown hostinfo = unknown /bin/machine = unknown /usr/bin/oslevel = unknown /bin/universe = unknown PATH: /usr/local/sbin PATH: /usr/local/bin PATH: /usr/sbin PATH: /usr/bin PATH: /sbin PATH: /bin PATH: /usr/games ## ----------- ## ## Core tests. ## ## ----------- ## configure:1352: checking build system type configure:1370: result: armv4l-unknown-linux-gnu configure:1378: checking host system type configure:1392: result: armv4l-unknown-linux-gnu configure:1400: checking target system type configure:1414: result: armv4l-unknown-linux-gnu configure:1443: checking for a BSD-compatible install configure:1498: result: /usr/bin/install -c configure:1509: checking whether build environment is sane configure:1552: result: yes configure:1585: checking for gawk configure:1614: result: no configure:1585: checking for mawk configure:1601: found /usr/bin/mawk configure:1611: result: mawk configure:1621: checking whether make sets $(MAKE) configure:1641: result: yes configure:1856: checking for gcc configure:1872: found /usr/bin/gcc configure:1882: result: gcc configure:2126: checking for C compiler version configure:2129: gcc --version </dev/null >&5 gcc (GCC) 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13) Copyright (C) 2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
