hi all

i am trying to configure ecos in my system
i am doing this with the tar file ecos-latest.tar.gz
when i configure with the command

../configure --prefix=/opt/ecos-tools

i get the follwing error

checking whether the C++ compiler (g++ ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler cannot create executables.
configure: error: ../../../../../../../../packages/hal/synth/arch/current/host/configure failed for packages/hal/synth/arch/current/host

but g++ and gcc is installed in my system

can any one give me some idea about the error

thanx in advance

inside your source directory ( the one your running configure from) it made a file called config.log. gonna need to see that. gcc and g++ are not all the pieces you need to create an executable. Most likely, your missing a couple packages from your development environment.

i went through the config.log
it contains only these contents, with i couldn't find anything

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

configure:554: checking host system type
configure:586: checking for a BSD compatible install
configure:639: checking whether build environment is sane
configure:696: checking whether make sets ${MAKE}
configure:735: checking for working aclocal
configure:748: checking for working autoconf
configure:761: checking for working automake
configure:774: checking for working autoheader
configure:787: checking for working makeinfo
configure:801: checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles
configure:825: checking that a separate build tree is being used

that is the entire contents of the file? there are no "failed program was" statements? what distro is this by the way?

Indeed, you need more than just gcc and g++ to create executables

. Make sure libc and libstdc++ is installed as well. It is quite a common known problem.

grtz,

i am trying to configure ecos to my system
i actually need redboot bootloader for hitachi sh7751 processor
i came to know that only if we install ecos we can get redboot binary image
but the initial stage itself i have a problem
that is the whole of config.log
there is nothing else in this file

is there any other way to get redboot bootloader

thanx in advance

abirami · 02-24-2005, 05:38 AM

ya both libc and libstdc++ is installed in the system

__J · 02-24-2005, 05:41 AM

binutils? ( you'll definitely need this one)
libtool ( shouldn't cause your problem but you'll probably need it before long) ?

what distro is this?

--> Apart from this and automake, autoconf and libtool (which are according to your config.log are in place), I don't think you need anything else, so that's strange.

--> You still did not tell us what distro you are using.

as far as what's needed, it completely depends on what the package wants to use. binutils is essential, without it no executables can be created. depending on the package, m4, make ( which is required for nearly everything), flex, gawk, sed, perl, and others might be needed.

this is the tar file used

ecos-latest.tar.gz

first thing you need to tell us: what distro are you running.

next, do the following commands so we can see where your problem is.

Code:

echo 'main(){}' >> test.cpp

Code:

g++ -v test.cpp

where does the error occur?

abirami · 02-24-2005, 06:03 AM

the gcc version in my system is
gcc version 3.0.1

elluva · 02-24-2005, 06:05 AM

try 'g++ -o test test.cpp'

oh , u guessed it right im getting an error
this is output , i got
i guess there is some link problem
but how to overcome this
