C Compiler Cannot Create Executables
Posted: Mon Dec 09, 2013 3:51 pm
I recently changed from Xubuntu to Linux Mint. Now whenever I try to compile a program (GCC cross compiler in this case, it also does it with other programs), I get this message from running configure: C compiler cannot create executables.
It creates a config.log file, which is shown below:
It appears to me that there is something wrong with the GCC installed. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? Should I try reinstalling GCC?
It creates a config.log file, which is shown below:
Code: Select all
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 2.64. Invocation command line was
$ ../binutils-2.24/configure
