Configure fails: checking whether the C compiler works... no Ubuntu 22.04

[garfunkel445]

Trying to run configure script on Ubuntu 22.04 for wine 7.15 and receiving this:

checking build system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/home/david/Downloads/wine-7.15':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details

I have tried reinstalling gcc and build-essential to no avail. The config log is as follows:

I didn't paste the rest of the config log but this is the section I think is most relevant. I see that cc1:execvp is not found so tried reinstalling build-essential again with no luck.

Hi, just a fellow user here. Yeah, it is showing a bunch off gcc related errors there. It looks like some are just complaining about the right --version flag and aren't impactful as it tries the next way. So, like you pointed out, the real culprit looks like it isn't able to compile that test program. I compiled the test file on my system and it did work.

It could be helpful for you to try this standalone and see what's going wrong, but something looks wrong with your gcc install.

conftest.c:

Code: Select all

/* confdefs.h */
#define PACKAGE_NAME "Wine"
#define PACKAGE_TARNAME "wine"
#define PACKAGE_VERSION "7.15"
#define PACKAGE_STRING "Wine 7.15"
#define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "[email protected]"
#define PACKAGE_URL "https://www.winehq.org"
/* end confdefs.h. */

int
main (void)
{

;
return 0;
}

Code: Select all

gcc -march=native -O2 -pipe conftest.c

On my machine it doesn't produce any errors, and produces a.out. Then run a.out even though it doesn't do anything:

Code: Select all

./a.out

I tried poking around to help pinpoint it further, but came up empty.

It looks like you are missing some packages. cc1 is part of cpp
The easiest way is to install the build-essential package.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall build-essential

The WineHQ Wiki lists the other packages you will need.

Quite interesting information

For the end user, WineHQ creates ready-to-use packages. Compiling Wine is only necessary if you want to modify the code yourself.
