配置失败，显示“ C编译器无法创建可执行文件”

Question

Right now I'm trying to compile the google protocol buffers from source with MinGW but when I try:

Matthew@RaRemoz-8 /e/workspace/protobuf-2.5.0
$ ./configure
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... yes
checking build system type... i686-pc-mingw32
checking host system type... i686-pc-mingw32
checking target system type... i686-pc-mingw32
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for gcc... gcc

checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/e/workspace/protobuf-2.5.0':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details

and the config says: This

it seems to fail around this

configure:3474: checking whether the C compiler works
configure:3496: gcc    conftest.c  >&5
gcc.exe: error: CreateProcess: No such file or directory
configure:3500: $? = 1
configure:3538: result: no

heres the output of -v:

$ gcc -v helloworld.c

anyone encountered this or can help with this?

There's something wrong with your MinGW install, or maybe it's just that your PATH environment variable isn't set up quite right.

• COLLECT_GCC indicates that gcc is in E:\\MinGW\\bin\\gcc.exe
• COLLECT_GCC_OPTIONS indicates that gcc couldn't locate cc1.exe , so it's trying to execute it as a simple cc1 command hoping that the system will find it by a normal PATH search. The system doesn't find it, so you get the CreateProcess error. Because the Target that GCC is built for is mingw32 , I'd expect that cc1.exe would be located in E:\\MinGW\\libexec\\gcc\\mingw32\\4.8.1\\cc1.exe .

There's something else interesting about the cc1 invocation: it specifies the option -iprefix E:\\MinGWmingw32/4.8.1/ .

I'd expect it to look like: -iprefix E:\\MinGW\\bin\\../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.8.1/

Something is munging the -iprefix option, but I'm not sure what.

I'd suggest reinstalling MinGW. As mentioned in one of my comments, I'd choose one of the following distributions since they've always installed in a straightforward manner for me. I can't say the same thing for the standard MinGW distribution installer, though I hear it's been greatly improved over the past few years.

• nuwen.net's MinGW Distro - note that recent versions of this are 64-bit native, so it will only run on 64-bit machines and apparently will only build 64-bit binaries (distro versions before 11.0 were 32-bit native and only built 32-bit binaries). One very nice thing about nuwen MinGW is that installation is simply unpacking the archive and setting the path appropriately. There's a set_distro_paths.bat that will add it to the path for you. Nuwen's distribution also includes several libraries, including Boost. Unfortunately C++11 threads don't seem to be supported just yet.

• TDM MinGW - you have a choice of 32-bit or 64-bit versions. The 64-bit version will build either 32 or 64-bit targets. The toolchain itself is a 32-bit build, so it doesn't need a 64-bit machine to perform the compile/link steps. Use the -m32 option to build a 32-bit target. The installer for TDM is a wizard-style installer. C++ 11 threads are supported, but Boost isn't included.
