Error: C compiler cannot create executables - ./configure under cygwin bash

Asked by Takasaki in Microsoft Visual C++, Unix Systems Programming, C++ Programming Language

Tags: compiler, cannot, create, c, executables

Hello,

My main goal is to configure and use the LinBox C++ linear algebra library (www.linalg.org) with VS2005.
It has a huge configure script (unix) so I installed cygwin with the bash shell.  Now, I can launch the cygwin shell and call ./configure.  Configure must be run because there are several packages which must interoperate with linbox and hence should be configured.

I've set all the PATH paths correctly (with no spaces), and ./configure can find cl.exe (VS80), but configure terminates with the error "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables"

The 'config.log' was not useful. configure failed to compile this as a test:

int main()
{
  return 0;
}

I think it is a PATH problem still.  Please lend advice.

I'm on an XP SP2 box, VS2005 SP1, latest cygwin shell (www.cygwin.com) and have the latest LinBox linear algebra library source (1.1.3 - www.linalg.org). Tips would be grateful.  Also, I have no experience with Unix but I respect it dearly.

Thanks,
