eggdrop on debian[solved]

Rhedd · Post by **Rhedd** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 6:24 pm

Hi I have downloaded and untared eggdrop . My problem is when I go to do ./configure
I get the following :

configure result:
configure result: This is Eggdrop's GNU configure script.
configure result: It's going to run a bunch of tests to hopefully make your compile
configure result: work without much twiddling.
configure result:
configure checking for gcc
configure result: no
configure checking for cc
configure found /usr/bin/cc
configure result: cc

configure cc --version </dev/null >&5

configure $? = 1

tcc: file '/usr/lib/crt1.o' not found
tcc: file '/usr/lib/crti.o' not found
tcc: file '/usr/lib/crtn.o' not found
configure $? = 0
configure result: b.out
configure checking whether the C compiler works
configure ./b.out
./configure: line 1817: ./b.out: No such file or directory
configure $? = 127
configure error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details.

Any suggestions please ?

If possible, try to install gcc rather than relying on tcc. It would seem the autoconf script is having alot of problems figuring out how to use it.

It would also seem some standard libraries are not found, suggesting your system is missing 'libc'.

Something is seriously amiss with your devel setup.. I didn't know debian was shipping with other than GCC/glibc, but, perhaps it would be useful to remove the tcc packages/deps and make sure all of your GCC packages are installed.

Here's a bit from the gcc manpage about your error:

-V version
The argument version specifies which version of GCC to run. This is useful when multiple versions are installed. For example, version might be 2.0, meaning to run GCC version 2.0.

The -V and -b options work by running the machine>-gcc-<version> executable, so there's no real reason to use them if you can just run that directly.

Looks like configure is still finding multiple *cc's to try, so its getting confused.

I can only assume you ran configure with no extra params, and those being shown are what configure picked out, which seems a bit unusual. If you did specify commandline options, try running configure without any.

you're still missing glibc...
