Hi all,

Hi Thomas,

What does the output from configure look like? The config.log file does not really help tell us how far into our configure script we've come.

As John pointed out, the problem here was (likely) that you were missing the needed C libraries. However, we should have a test for this in configure, and I'm surprised it didn't alert you to the problem.

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=x8664-linux-gnu --host=x8664-linux-gnu --target=x8664-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 PACKAGENAME "OpenJDK" | #define PACKAGETARNAME "openjdk" | #define PACKAGEVERSION "jdk9" | #define PACKAGESTRING "OpenJDK jdk9" | #define PACKAGEBUGREPORT "build-dev at openjdk.java.net" | #define PACKAGEURL "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
