first off i downloaded the source from here
http://www.zophar.net/unix/Files/gens-rc2.tar.gz
i ran ./configure and that did't work so then i tried sh ./congifure
result:
Code:
chris@linux:~/Misc/Downloads/gens-linux-2.12a> sh ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details.
i looked in the config.log and here is the output:
Code:
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.
It was created by configure, which was
