Trouble compiling aMSN-CVS (Make Error 77)

I was trying to install aMSN-CVS from the latest AUR package and I keep running into this error:

checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
make: *** [Makefile] Error 77
==> ERROR: Build Failed.  Aborting...

Following the trail, I checked out config.log to see what was going wrong and this is the part that seems to be causing the issue:

Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?  I'm rather stumped.  I can post the whole config.log if that would help.

I've tried some basic tests with other things and everything else I've tried to compile works just fine, it only seems to be the aMSN package having the issues, yet it looks like it's a problem with the GCC config and not aMSN.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Trouble compiling aMSN-CVS (Make Error 77)

Ok this is driving me nuts.. can some other users please try building amsn-cvs from AUR?

when I makepkg or even use yaourt it fails with the errors above. but if I just makepkg
then manually enter the src/amsn and src/amsn-build directory's and do the following

./configure --prefix=/usr
make all

it compiles just fine.  This is the same lines used in the PKGBUILD.

Is there a problem with my setup somewhere or is it the PKGBUILD?
If someone would try to build amsn-svn real quick and check if it builds as expected it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You wink

Re: Trouble compiling aMSN-CVS (Make Error 77)

I can tell you it's a problem with your setup, I've had this myself on some installs. The problem is quite pesky to point out though... I can't help with that I'm afraid.

Re: Trouble compiling aMSN-CVS (Make Error 77)

This happened to me too, i can't update it using versionpkg anymore. Has anyone found a solution?
PS: package name is amsn-svn, not amsn-cvs.

Re: Trouble compiling aMSN-CVS (Make Error 77)

Same problem here, with a fresh installation. If it is really a configuration problem, could somebody help us to check what is the problem ?

The config.log extract posted by Locri is missing some information, probably due to the use of nano... wink
Here is an extract from mine :

Re: Trouble compiling aMSN-CVS (Make Error 77)

I had to comment out my CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS in /etc/makepkg.conf to avoid the error.

Re: Trouble compiling aMSN-CVS (Make Error 77)

I know this is an old thread, but I was having a similar problem and wanted to share my solution so that other googlers could benefit.  For me, I completely uninstalled binutils (pacman -Rd binutils) and reinstalled it.
