checking whether the C compiler works... no

what I am doing wrong?

the first error I see in a log is: gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-V'

I have tried to follow some advices from google - but nothing helps....

I have already installed:

  • gcc-4.8.4-arm-1
  • gcc-solibs-4.8.4-arm-1
  • automake-1.15-arm-1
  • make-3.81-arm-1
  • autoconf-2.68-arm-01
  • libconfig-1.4.9-arm-1
  • mpfr-3.1.0-arm-1
  • binutils-2.23.1-arm-1

Output:

root@NAS:/i-data/md0/admin/sshpass-1.06# ./configure checking for a BSD-compatible install... /ffp/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /ffp/bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking whether make supports nested variables... yes checking for style of include used by make...

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by sshpass configure 1.06, which was generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69. Invocation command line was

The crux of the problem is not having a C++ compiler installed.

On Debian/Ubnutu systems, it's as simple as installing one:

sudo apt install gobjc++ 
2

I was seeing this while setting up a React Native project. Here is what worked for me.

sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app 

I had a similar problem.

I solved it by typing the following commands into a terminal:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall build-essential

sudo apt-get install --reinstall gcc

sudo dpkg-reconfigure build-essential

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gcc

After I had no problem.
