Compilation fails with gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-V' about isa-l

[gbtucker]

Can you post more of the configure output? Were there warnings before this? I think you may be missing some basic setup.

Hi Thanks for looking into this. I have followed the below procedure to compile the code:

yum install autoconf ;
yum install libtool ;
yum install yasm-1.2.0-4.el7.x86_64.rpm;
unzip isa-l-master.zip;
cd ./isa-l-master/
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64
make;
make install

I have followed the same procedure in another setup and it worked fine. In the working setup I have different gcc version : gcc-4.8.5-28.el7.x86_64.

Please find the attached config.log , command output and installed RPM list.

Here is the Linux version:

Looking at your config log I don't think the issue is lack of -V. Configure checks lots of things that can fail just looking for availability. The real problem is when it fails a simple compiler works test as below, just trying to compile a hello world app. You may not have the full linker or libc installed. You might try your own hello world app to see if the default paths work.

configure:3405: checking whether the C compiler works

Hi Greg
You are right!! I tried the below "hello world" code snippet and compilation failed with errors. Can you please advise me how to fix this ? What could be possibly going wrong here ?

Hello world snippet

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
// printf() displays the string inside quotation
printf("Hello, World!");
return 0;
}

Compile Error

gcc hello_world.c

In file included from /usr/include/features.h:399:0,
from /usr/include/stdio.h:27,
from hello_world.c:1:
/usr/include/gnu/stubs.h:10:27: fatal error: gnu/stubs-64.h: No such file or directory

include <gnu/stubs-64.h>

                       ^

compilation terminated.

Hi Greg,

The issue has now been resolved now.

Fix:

1. Install glibc-devel.x86_64
   # yum install glibc-devel.x86_64
2. create a soft link to the linker program in /usr/bin/ pointing to /etc/alternatives/ld
   # cd /usr/bin/

   ln -s /etc/alternatives/ld

    # which ld
       /usr/bin/ld 
    # ls -l /usr/bin/ld
        lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Apr 19 16:50 /usr/bin/ld -> /etc/alternatives/ld
   

It is weird that the link is missing in the first place. But after performing the above steps compilation completed successfully. Thank you for looking into the issue and your guidance. Appreciate you quick reply too.

Good to hear. Perhaps binutils was installed incorrectly.
