Help with Compiling in KDE

[dwessell]

Hey all..

I'm trying to compile in KDE, but am running into some issues, as I'm not over familiar with Linux as of yet, and was hoping that someone could offer some advice.. When compiling I get:

configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
*** Exited with status: 77 ***


I will post the config.log below..

Thanks
David

You can start by searching for each missing item in Synaptic/Adept. Usually there is a README file or some other list of dependencies provided with the source or on their web page.

Have you already installed build-essential?

It's actually a homework assignment that I'm working on.. I usually use Codewarrior in Windows.. There it's just a matter of compiling, and Codewarrior handles everything else.. I'll keep working on it, thanks for the input..

Thanks

The C++ compiler the configure script is trying to use is i586-mingw32msvc-c++, which you don't have installed.

Did you tell kdevelop that you want to build a Windows application or something?

[dwessell]

toojays..

Well.. I hadn't thought so.. But I looked in the makefile and found:

# the library search path.
hwk5_LDFLAGS = -mwindows $(all_libraries)
noinst_HEADERS = stack.h

So I guess I must have somewhere.. I think I'll start a new project, and see what happens...

Thanks for the tip..
