Hello, when trying to compile mysql-3.23.37 on solaris 8, using either just ./configure or CC=gcc CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS=-O3 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --with-low-memory --with-extra-charset s=complex I get the message: checking return type of sprintf... configure: error: can not run test program while cross compiling I am using GNU Make version 3.78.1 and gcc version 2.95.3. The mysql is fresh off the website. My config.log file is: configure:812: checking host system type configure:833: checking target system type configure:851: checking build system type configure:886: checking for a BSD compatible install configure:939: checking whether build environment is sane configure:974: checking whether make sets ${MAKE} configure:1020: checking for working aclocal configure:1033: checking for working autoconf configure:1046: checking for working automake configure:1059: checking for working autoheader configure:1072: checking for working makeinfo configure:1174: checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles configure:1216: checking whether build environment is sane configure:1233: checking whether make sets ${MAKE} configure:1301: checking for gawk configure:1333: checking for gcc configure:1446: checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works configure:1462: gcc -o conftest conftest.c 1>&5 configure:1488: checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) is a cross-compiler configure:1493: checking whether we are using GNU C configure:1521: checking whether gcc accepts -g configure:1557: checking for c++ configure:1589: checking whether the C++ compiler (c++ -O3 ) works configure:1605: c++ -o conftest -O3 conftest.C 1>&5 configure:1631: checking whether the C++ compiler (c++ -O3 ) is a cross-compiler configure:1636: checking whether we are using GNU C++ configure:1664: checking whether c++ accepts -g configure:1696: checking how to run the C preprocessor configure:1821: checking for ranlib configure:1931: checking for ld used by GCC configure:1993: checking if the linker (/usr/ccs/bin/ld) is GNU ld configure:2009: checking for BSD-compatible nm configure:2045: checking whether ln -s works ltconfig:603: checking for object suffix ltconfig:604: gcc -c conftest.c 1>&5 ltconfig:629: checking for executable suffix ltconfig:630: gcc -o conftest conftest.c 1>&5 ltconfig:776: checking if gcc PIC flag -fPIC works ltconfig:777: gcc -c -fPIC -DPIC conftest.c 1>&5 ltconfig:829: checking if gcc supports -c -o file.o ltconfig:830: gcc -c -o out/conftest2.o conftest.c 1>&5 ltconfig:862: checking if gcc supports -c -o file.lo ltconfig:863: gcc -c -c -o conftest.lo conftest.c 1>&5 ltconfig:914: checking if gcc supports -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions ltconfig:915: gcc -c -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -c conftest.c conftest.c 1>&5 ltconfig:958: checking if gcc static flag -static works ltconfig:959: gcc -o conftest -static conftest.c 1>&5 ltconfig:1653: checking if global_symbol_pipe works ltconfig:1654: gcc -c conftest.c 1>&5 ltconfig:1657: eval "/usr/ccs/bin/nm -p conftest.o | sed -n -e /^.*[ ]\([BDT]\)[ ][ ]*\(\)\([_A-Za-z][_A-Za-z0-9]*\)$/\1 \2\3 \3/p' > conftest.nm" ltconfig:1709: gcc -o conftest -fno-builtin -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions conftest.c conftstm.o 1>&5 configure:2250: checking for a BSD compatible install configure:2308: checking for bison configure:2308: checking for byacc configure:2341: checking for pdftex configure:2369: checking return type of sprintf I tried the tips in the mysql manual, including doing CFLAGS="-O6 -mpentiumpro" CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS="-O6 -mpentiumpro -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --enable-assembler --with-mysqld-ldfla gs=-all-static or adding the line to the config.cache file. Any ideas?
