Hi, My name is Einat, and I am applications engineer in the Silicon Valley. I have Ubuntu - GNU GRUB error, that I would be very very happy, if you may help me with. I am using GNU GRUB 0.97 in OS Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and I got an error when I was in a process of building a boot loader stage 1. The “./configure” command failed with the error: “C compiler cannot create executables ”. The config.log file content indicate that “/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc ” and that “configure: failed program was: | /* confdefs.h. */”
I installed multiple tools / SW including: - GCC 4:4.4.3-1ubuntu1 (GNC Complier). - Automake 1:1.11.1-1 (tool for generating GNUS standards compliant makefiles). - binutils 2.20.1-3 ubuntu7.1 (GNU Assembler, Linker and binary Utilities). - aoutoconf 2.65-3 ubuntu1 (automatic configure script builder). - texinfo 4.13a.dfsg.1-5ubuntu1 (documentation system for an on-line information and printed output). I issued the following steps: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-0.97.tar.gz (grab the GRUB 0.97 from the web) zcat grub-0.97.tar.gz | tar xv (unbundle GRUB) cd grub-0.97 ./configure ***************Command line in Ubuntu OS: ******************************* einatbauman@einatbauman-laptop:~/grub-0.97$ ./configure checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no checking for gcc... gcc checking for gcc...
