[csw-users] configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

[Maciej Bliziński]

I'm trying to build a package using gcc4. Running configure...

checking build system type... i386-pc-solaris2.10

checking host system type... i386-pc-solaris2.10



configuring for rxvt 9.06



checking for gcc... /opt/csw/gcc4/bin/gcc

checking for C compiler default output file name...

configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

See `config.log' for more details.

gmake[1]: *** [configure-work/build-isa-i386/rxvt-unicode-9.06/configure]

Looking into config.log:

My guess is that instead of /opt/csw/bin/gld, /usr/ccs/bin/ld is used.
My Makefile is:

===========================================================
GARNAME = rxvt-unicode

GARVERSION = 9.06

CATEGORIES = x11



# http://dist.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/rxvt-unicode-9.06.tar.bz2



DESCRIPTION = Unicode-enabled terminal emulator

define BLURB

  LONG DESCRIPTION

endef



MASTER_SITES = http://dist.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/

DISTFILES  = $(GARNAME)-$(GARVERSION).tar.bz2

DISTFILES += $(call admfiles,CSWurxvt,)



# We define upstream file regex so we can be notifed of new upstream
software release

UFILES_REGEX = $(GARNAME)-(\d+(?:\.\d+)*).tar.gz



CONFIGURE_ARGS = $(DIRPATHS)

CONFIGURE_ARGS += --disable-perl



GARCOMPILER = GNU



include gar/category.mk

===========================================================

and files/CSWurxvt.gspec:

===========================================================
%var            bitname urxvt

%var            pkgname CSWurxvt

%include        url file://%{PKGLIB}/csw_dyndepend.gspec

%copyright      url file://%{WORKSRC}/COPYING
===========================================================

As a workaround, I could use:

chmod 644 /usr/ccs/bin/ld
cd /opt/csw/bin/
ln -s gld ld

But it's ugly. Do you have any better ideas?

I looked into the configure script of my software package, but it
doesn't have any option to specify the ld binary.
