#3567: Configure script looks for ld too early
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
Reporter: simonpj | Owner: igloo
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.12.1
Component: Compiler | Version: 6.10.4
Severity: normal | Keywords:
Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase:
Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
Because of #3565, I tried moving `c:/mingw` out of the way. But now
'configure' falls over saying
{{{
checking for ld... no
configure: error: cannot find ld in your PATH, no idea how to link
}}}
This is because 'configure' checks for ld before doing any of the mingw-
tar-ball-unpacking stuff. (Somehow the treatment of `gcc`, just before,
is different.)
This is a show-stopper
* because of #3565 the build fails if I have c:/mingw
* because of the above, the configure fails if I don't have c:/mingw
It'd be best to fix this before #3565; then people can at least make
progress by moving c:/mingw to something else.
Thanks
Simon
