[SOLVED] Successully building an ADA compiler

cupcake · 2009-04-15 02:14:49

Hi *

I'm trying to compile the gnat ada compiler and to do this i followed the arch wiki.

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Suc … er_in_Arch

But i get the following error:

configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

I followed the troubleshooting section which describes this error, and made the necessary changes to my makepkg.conf file but the error still persists.

So I then looked in the config.log file:

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by configure, which was 
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59.  Invocation command line was

  $ ../configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,objc,obj-c++,treelang,ada --enable-threads=posix --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-multilib --libdir=/usr/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --enable-clocale=gnu --disable-libstdcxx-pch --with-tune=generic

But i'm still unsure what the problem is!

mmm maybe the wiki page is outdated. I reccomend to use this PKGBUILD [#1]

Do this:

# pacman -S base-devel

$ wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gcc-ada/gcc-ada.tar.gz
$ tar xf gcc-ada.tar.gz
$ cd gcc-ada
$ makepkg

Take a coffee

And a gcc-ada package will be created, just install with pacman -U

Thank you djgera, this worked :-)

i guess you could put this in the wiki if you wanted to.

For me it still does not compile. It reports the same error, it cannot find the cc1 executable. Though I'm trying to compile gcc-ada 4.4.1
Thank you very much
