Hi!

I'm trying to install Wine for a client, a Mac house, who run some software only
supported under Windows or Classic. With the recent introduction of Intel Macs
(that no longer support Classic) into the business, the Windows version is,
unfortunately, their only upgrade path.

I have C development experience and am familiar with compiling C applications
under unix, although that was some years ago and processes seem to have changed
somewhat. In particular, I am unfamiliar with the 'configure' executable
described in your installation manual, which is raising an error.

Could you please look briefly at the attached config.log? I would be interested
to know if this is an issue to which I can attend, or whether it is a
deficiency in the configuration process itself. I would also appreciate a
workaround, if possible.

Thanks in anticipation of your assistance.

Hi Colin,

This script is produced by autoconf.  It's the way many (most?)
packages are built these days.

I'm afraid I can't provide very direct assistance, but your configure
log indicates something pretty basic is screwed up:

configure:2404: checking for C compiler default output file name
configure:2431: gcc    conftest.c  >&5
/usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -lcrt1.o
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

It reports the failed program was:
| /* confdefs.h.  */
| #define PACKAGE_NAME "Wine"
| #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "wine"
| #define PACKAGE_VERSION "0.9.37"
| #define PACKAGE_STRING "Wine 0.9.37"
| #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "[e-mail]"
| /* end confdefs.h.  */
|
| int
| main ()
| {
|
|   ;
|   return 0;
| }

This is as basic a program as it gets.

So, try creating a similarly empty .c file by hand, and compiling it
yourself.  If you get a similar error, figure out what's wrong with
your compiler installation, and fix that.  If you don't, I don't know
what to tell you.

Good luck,
--Juan

You're probably missing the libc6-dev and/or libgcc1 packages (the 
package names may be slightly different on your distribution).

uname -s = Darwin
uname -v = Darwin Kernel Version 8.10.1: Wed May 23 16:33:00 PDT 2007; 
root:xnu-792.22.5~1/RELEASE_I386

It is a mac it seems. Is Xcode installed?

you need the development files for the c runtime library
(this is "libc6-dev" here)

--- cut ---
GNU C Library: Development Libraries and Header Files
Contains the symlinks, headers, and object files needed to compile
and link programs which use the standard C library.
