[SOLVED] Configure error:C compiler cannot create executables

Ztcoracat · 11-03-2015, 06:43 PM

I found a way in the tutorial how to fix the bug but I need help.

The instruction says to find line 77 and replace the leading spaces with a tab (make sure editor puts in a tab character) and than re-run make. This first set of text in the first code tags; is the example in the tutorial.

Code:

mkinstalldir:
        if [ ! -d $(bindir) -a X_ = X_yes ] ; then mkdir -p $(bindir) ; fi

This is what is in the /home/zebracat/voxforge/bin/htk/Makefile.in directory that's on my system.

Code:

mkinstalldirs = $(SHELL) $(top_srcdir)/mkinstalldirs
CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES =

Where exactly do I hit the tab?
After the second mkinstalldirs or after the _FILES=?

Ideas or suggestions for post # 16 anyone?

I really need to get HTK installed.

Re #16.

Code:

mkinstalldir:
        if [ ! -d $(bindir) -a X_ = X_yes ] ; then mkdir -p $(bindir) ; fi

If / when you have 8 times space before if :
Move the marker to before the i in if and do 8 times <backspace>. Then <TAB>.

* How did you solve the "64bits issue" ?
Same issue two months ago in "the other HTK-3.4.1 thread"
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...tk-4175555620/
Seems @jacintodavila solved the issues by using the Redhat compat-gcc-34-3.4.6.

"compat-gcc-34" was repacked to Ubuntu, replaces a gcc34 built with Eric Hameleers script.
Replaced because it couldn't compile some old software. I guess you were using the ~alien gcc34
http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/gcc34/ ?

Right I agree that the backspace would work and than tab....got that.
However I did not get the string with if I had this instead-

Code:

mkinstalldirs = $(SHELL) $(top_srcdir)/mkinstalldirs
CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES =

Maybe changing the string in the file to what is in the tutorial is the key?
I'll toy with it and see if make works.

I haven't solved the 64 bit issue yet but I think installing:

Code:

gcc34-3.4.6-x86_64-2compat.tgz

will help.

Re #20.

HTK-3.4.1 :
Works OK with compat-gcc-34 in Fedora 23 - 64bits. ($ export CC=gcc34 && ./configure)
( gcc-4.9.2 seems to be latest OK gcc for htk. No luck with the Fedora 23 gcc-5.1.1 )

? May be you can use gcc-4.8.2 :
64bits executable are created >>> Delete the -m32 in htk/configure, line 5507.
( Origins from the `CFLAGS="-m32 ....' in configure.ac line 111.)
So that's another bug, I guess. If the 64bits executable`s can do their job.

The HTK-3.4.1 test with gcc-4.8.2 in Slackware64 - 14.1 : OK, no issues.

It's not working for me on this Slack-64 box no matter what I try.

I deleted the -m32 in the configure script and it made no difference.
Installing gcc34-3.4.6-x86_64 didn't help either.

I think it is a bug-

-::-I'll install Simon on my CentOS box this evening and try to install HTK as well and let you know if I can get it working.-::-

knudfl · 11-04-2015, 05:02 PM

Re #23.

The test build, post #22, is done with a genuine 64bits Slackware64-14.1 : No multi-lib.

? Did you reconfigure after editing line 5507 ?

Ztcoracat · 11-04-2015, 06:31 PM

Yes I reconfigured after editing line 5507.

I'll try again:-

I won't be able to install Simon or HTK on my Centos box.
There isn't a qaccessibiltyclient pkg for Centos 7 that I could find.
The only rpm I found for qaccessibilityclient is for FC or Open Suse.

HTK is now ready to be built.

Type "make all" to build the HTK libraries

Then "make install" to install them.

The tools will be installed in /home/username/voxforge/bin/htk/bin

built. HDecode will not be built. You can build
it manually later by running 'make hdecode

I checked line 77 of the makefile and it doesn't have 8 spaces missing.

What am I doing wrong knudfl?

Code:

Makefile:77: *** missing separator (did you mean TAB instead of 8 spaces?).  Stop.

Is this the file you edit: /home/zebracat/voxforge/bin/htk/HLMTools/Makefile

knudfl · 11-04-2015, 07:05 PM

Re #26.

Probably read post #19.
No <space>`s are allowed in line 77. Must be replaced with a <TAB>.
"missing separator" : That one <TAB> is the "separator".

? Why are you using gcc34 ?

Ztcoracat · 11-04-2015, 07:07 PM

Doesn't matter if I use just ./configure or ./configure CC=gcc34 --prefix=/home/username/voxforge/bin/htk; I still get the same output in the konsole as above.

What exactly does this mean?

Code:

config.status: WARNING:  Makefile.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting

I removed -m32 from the script with Vi where the black flashing cursor is-

Thought I needed gcc34 since is was part of the cmd-
I can easily rm it.

This is line 77 in the makefile:

Where do I need to place the cursor and hit the Tab key?
At the end of (BOOK)?
