[Solved]Lightning for Thunderbird:C compiler cannot create executables

rafaelgp · 2009-10-02 13:48:58

Thanks very much in advance.

I am trying to install Lightning in Thunderbird but no luck so far.
The xpi file from their website is not for 64 bits.
The link for the 64 bits version doesn't work
I've tried with AUR and yaourt but both return the following error (look at the end):

I've searched in forums and on the Internet but I am a newby and I have no idea how to fix the c compiler...

Thanks again

Notice the missing space between -Wl,--as-needed and -lXrender. I guess you can sed fix that.

This was an oversight on my part while using += to set the LDFLAGS. It should be fixed now in the PKGBUILD.

Very impressive! Thanks for such a fast response.

But I'm afraid it still doesn't work. After compiling for 10 minutes it couldn't finish:

Hope this helps.

I just tested it, and this problem comes up when you use the --as-needed flag. I may just overwrite LDFLAGS completely in the PKGBUILD since there's no way of knowing which linker flags the user is using.

Well done! It is installed and working!

Arch community and developers are the best!

A donation is on the way!

I actually just downloaded this from aur about 2 hours ago and am getting a similar build error as rafaelgp was.
