Yaourt/configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

marzecki · 2012-08-28 22:49:19

I lived with this error some time... Trying to fix it by myself, reading quite a few of forums, wiki, and - enough
Better idea it to ask you, and maybe someone can find a simple solution???

Everytime I try to build something from AUR (and other PKGBUILDs) comes an error message as in example below
(Marked with "<==" on the right side).

# yaourt -S uae

==> Downloading uae PKGBUILD from AUR...

Some stuff: (may be useful)
Sorry for spam, but I just feel that someone will maybe need those texts.

Thanks a lot in advance!

[edit]
Forgott to say that this problem started after THIS:
http://www.archlinux.org/news/the-lib-d … a-symlink/
which (I think) I've done well but franckly I'm not that sure.

This isn't the archlinux-arm forum, and the error message is quite obvious in your config.log

You probably shouldn't be trying to copy your makepkg.conf over from an x86 machine.

I don't even expected that from You.

, and the error message is quite obvious in your config.log

If I understand it, every PKGBUILD is trying to compile with my arm compiler? I don't even know what means a line which you quoted. Please tell me what to do. This is not an archlinux-arm, it should be an error since I'm using my Arch to compile programs for arm founded in Khepera III robots. I'll try to find if some configurations disrupted my common compilation process.
