Hi all, I got a configure error on a fresh, virgin Linux Mint 18.3 install. I have not yet installed anything on that box (the only thing I installed is autoconf).
This fails at a point where normally I would get suggestions about which tools to install with apt-get (which, btw, is really nice). config.log contains this: ------- Configured with: ../src/configure -v --with-pkgversion='Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.5' --with-bugurl=file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-5/README.Bugs --enable-languages=c,ada,c++,java,go,d,fortran,objc,obj-c++ --prefix=/usr --program-suffix=-5 --enable-shared --enable-linker-build-id --libexecdir=/usr/lib --without-included-gettext --enable-threads=posix --libdir=/usr/lib --enable-nls --with-sysroot=/ --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-libstdcxx-time=yes --with-default-libstdcxx-abi=new --enable-gnu-unique-object --disable-vtable-verify --enable-libmpx --enable-plugin --with-system-zlib --disable-browser-plugin --enable-java-awt=gtk --enable-gtk-cairo --with-java-home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-gcj-5-amd64/jre --enable-java-home --with-jvm-root-dir=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-gcj-5-amd64 --with-jvm-jar-dir=/usr/lib/jvm-exports/java-1.5.0-gcj-5-amd64 --with-arch-directory=amd64 --with-ecj-jar=/usr/share/java/eclipse-ecj.jar --enable-objc-gc --enable-multiarch --disable-werror --with-arch-32=i686 --with-abi=m64 --with-multilib-list=m32,m64,mx32 --enable-multilib --with-tune=generic --enable-checking=release --build=x86_64-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-linux-gnu Thread model: posix gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.5) configure:35364: $? = 0 configure:35353: /usr/bin/gcc -V >&5 gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-V' gcc: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated. configure:35364: $? = 1 configure:35353: /usr/bin/gcc -qversion >&5 gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-qversion' gcc: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated. configure:35364: $? = 1 configure:35384: checking whether the C compiler works configure:35406: /usr/bin/gcc -m64 -m64 conftest.c >&5 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find crt1.o: No such file or directory /usr/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc /usr/bin/ld: cannot find crtn.o: No such file or directory collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status configure:35410: $? = 1 configure:35448: result: no configure: failed program was: | /* confdefs.h */ | #define PACKAGE_NAME "OpenJDK" | #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "openjdk" | #define PACKAGE_VERSION "jdk9" | #define PACKAGE_STRING "OpenJDK jdk9" | #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "build-dev@openjdk.java.net" | #define PACKAGE_URL "http://openjdk.java.net"; | /* end confdefs.h. */ | | int | main () | { | | ; | return 0; | } configure:35453: error: in `/shared/projects/openjdk/jdk-jdk/output-fastdebug': configure:35455: error: C compiler cannot create executables ----------------- Weirdly enough the compiler is ran once with -qversion, which is an AIX-only option, and once with -V, which is not valid either. Has anyone seen this already? (Note that I used Mint18.3 as development machine before and it just worked). Thanks, Thomas
