Hello Everyone, Earlier some one had asked about compiling on Debian and I really did think about the problem. But they mentioned that they kept having a problem reporting "your compiler is unable to make executables".
Then someone reported to check the "config.log" for the complete errors. I have been having the same problem with everything I have tried to complile. I had sent a message to the list and another list and found out that the file I was missing, "crt1.o" was in the libc5 package. I re-installed the gcc, libc5 package ( the base one) and the libc5-dbg programs. But am still having the same problem. Here's on of my config.log's and it shows the "crt1.o" is my problem with compiling. Config.log: This file contains any messages produced by compilers while running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake. configure:541: checking whether make sets ${MAKE} configure:571: checking for gcc configure:648: checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works configure:662: gcc -o conftest conftest.c 1>&5 ld: cannot open crt1.o: No such file or directory configure: failed program was: #line 658 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" main(){return(0);} What package contains the "crt1.o". I am at a loss trying to figure this one out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
