[SOLVED] Configure error:C compiler cannot create executables

Ztcoracat · 11-03-2015, 02:23 PM

Hi:

I'm trying to install HTK for Simon but I don't understand this error or the config.log.

Here's HTK and the instructions I'm following.
http://www.voxforge.org/home/dev/aco...orial/download

Code:

ash-4.2$ cd /home/zebracat/voxforge/bin/htk/
bash-4.2$ ls

The config.log-

Code:

For the record I have gcc installed-

Code:

Looking for gcc in package list. Please wait... DONE

The list below shows all packages with name matching "gcc".

[ installed ] - gcc-4.8.2-x86_64-1

It says it is finding your C compiler which would normally be "gcc" (GNU C compiler) as "gcc34" and is then attempting to execute gcc34 but saying it is not found.

Based on that:
Run 'which gcc' to determine what gcc command it found.
Run 'gcc --version' to see if that is gcc34.
Run 'which gcc34' - presumably it will say not found.
Run 'find / -name "gcc*" to see if it finds any gcc or gcc34 file.
Run 'echo $PATH' to see what directories (separated by colon) are in your PATH.
If you found gcc34 in a directory NOT listed in your PATH you can add its directory to your PATH by typing 'PATH=$PATH:<newdirectory>' where you replace the last bit with the directory you found gcc34 in.
Alternatively if the 'which gcc' tells you the directory where gcc is and that directory does NOT have gcc34 in it you could create a symbolic link by typing 'ln -s <directory>/gcc <directory>/gcc34.

You could review the configure script itself and see what it is doing between lines 1859 and 18886 that is making it say gcc34.

bash-4.2$

There isn't anything in between 1859 and 18886-

Code:

configure:1800: result: gawk
configure:1859: checking for gcc
configure:1886: result: gcc34
configure:2124: checking for C compiler version

I didn't create a symbolic link because which gcc34 returned "no gcc34"

HTK builds OK with gcc-4.9.2 !

A bug, HTK-3.4.1 :
htk/HLMTools/Makefile.in, line 77 starts with 8 spaces : Must be one <TAB>.

Hi knudfl

Thanks for chiming in.
So.... installing gcc 4.9.2 is what I need to do?
http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14...pment/avr-gcc/

How to fix the bug?

I looked in /home/zebracat/voxforge/bin/htk/HLMTools/Makefile.in
and I don't have 77 lines.

knudfl · 11-03-2015, 04:51 PM

Re #6.

GCC-4.9.2 : Then all new versions can be used, I guess. Also your gcc-4.8.

Editing Makefile.in : That's for HTK-3.4.1 = latest stable version, March 2009.
? Are you using an ancient version ? http://htk.eng.cam.ac.uk/

I downloaded HTK 3.4.1 from the link you posted yesterday and assumed it was the correct one.
If that is the ancient version than I need to find the most recent.

Tried installing it a different way other than the instructions by just running ./configure.

Code:

config.status: WARNING:  HTKLVRec/Makefile.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: WARNING:  Makefile.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting
**************************************************

HTK is now ready to be built.

Type "make all" to build the HTK libraries
and tools.

Then "make install" to install them.

The tools will be installed in /usr/local/bin

Build notes: Language Modelling tools will be
built. HDecode will not be built. You can build
it manually later by running 'make hdecode
install-hdecode'

Wish this wasn't so difficult to install-

Are you in a pure 64-bit system?

Yes

Code:

bash-4.2$ uname -m
x86_64
bash-4.2$

Also when I run cat /proc/cpuinfo
the lm flag is present.

Then you have to figure out how to avoid building 32-bit counterpart, your error compiler cannot create executables is because it cannot build 32-bit binaries.

Lovely; well thanks for telling me but I honestly don't know how to avoid building the 32-bit counterpart.

Ideas or suggestions?

Ztcoracat · 11-03-2015, 06:02 PM

I found this but I'm not sure if it's the answer.

Use (which I've never done) the -m32 flag to compile a 32-bit binary?

There may be a bug preventing the build on pure 64 bit systems. There is certainly a way to file a bug or contact author, but you should see the docs first to make sure you haven't overlooked anything.
