 Posted: Thu Jun 10, 2010 7:59 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Can't Compile Anything |
 |
|
I borked my system pretty bad I think. What I did was move my HDs from one system to another. I had to make sure I had the right kernel modules installed and stuff and got it to boot. So then I changed my CCFLAGS cause the cpu changed. I did a system update and that went great. Then I did my normal emerge --depclean and then a revdep-rebuild. And this is when things started freaking out. The compile failed with this error:
| Quote: | checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/var/tmp/portage/app-antivirus/clamav-0.96.1/work/clamav-0.96.1':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details. |
I read around for what this means and I have no idea but most things pointed to gcc. So I tried to reemerge it and got this:
| Quote: | checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: in `/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-4.4.3-r2/work/build':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details. |
If I can't compile my compiler that normally means I am screwed. So I am coming here to see if anyone can help me. I really don't want to do a rebuild. If you need output from any logs or anything just let me know.
Thank you,
Lucas

Duck Man,
I suspect your update got you a new version gcc and --depclean removed the old one, as its supposed to.
However, gcc is a slotted package, so you can have several versions installed at the same time. The downside is that you need to manually select the gcc you want to use.
Play with the gcc-config command.
If its not that, the fix is still fairly simple.

Is that normal? |

Duck Man,
Nope, what I described happened to you. --depclean removed your selected gcc.
As Jaglover says, you need to select your new one and follow the on scree instrctions.

May I recommend to get into habit of running commands with -h or --help if in doubt. Will save time.  |

| Yah I feel dumb... I ran it with nothing to see what the commands were and expected a --set or what ever like the other *-config commands I have used. Well on the plus side I am really happy it was such a small issue . Thanks a bunch. |
