I am trying to compile vile on a web hosting system where I have a
Linux ssh login account. The C preprocessor is problematic:-
bash-3.2$ pwd
/var/sites/o/oasis41.co.uk/tmp/vile-9.8
bash-3.2$ ./configure
checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Configuring for linux-gnu
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for executable suffix...
checking for object suffix... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking how to run the C preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
bash-3.2$
Are there any obvious things to try in order to get round this problem?
Alternatively is there a way to create an executable image which
includes all libraries etc., like appimage format? The system reports
its architecture etc. as:-
bash-3.2$ uname -a
Linux shell3.gridhost.co.uk 2.6.32-754.27.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jan 28
14:11:45 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
