Linphone Compiling - configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs

Question

I am trying to compile Linphone for windows but when I run "./configure --prefix=/opt/linphone --enable-shared --disable-static" I get an error message claiming that I cannot run C compiled programs.

I am using Mingw on Windows 8, I have installed the C++ and C compilers and also the Mingw Developer Tools

Answer 1

It appears to be a target mismatch error. Mingw32 binaries cannot be run on windows 32-bit kernel. You should try installing Mingw64 binaries. Also try building from a linux or windows machine. I had this issue which I resolved later by compiling on Mac.
