I've been searching here and at the ubuntu forums and can't seem to find a solution, I think it's pretty simple though. I've checked for libc6 and libc6-dev and they both appear to be installed, IIRC they fixed a previous ./configure issue I had with some other source. mason@mason-desktop:~/Desktop/wine-1.0-rc1$ ./configure checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for gcc... gcc -m32 checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. All I'm really trying to do it compile the dinput_test file from dlls/dinput/test and I am not very experienced at compiling, likely missed something basic. What I concluded is that I need to configure from the root of the source before I'll be able to compile the dinput_test, which may be a bad conclusion :) This is the top of the config.log: Thanks in advance for any info, sorry if I left something important out.
