C compiler can not create executables?

[ItecKid]

Hello,

I am trying to compile wine from source. When I run

sudo ./configure

I get this output:

checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for gcc... gcc -m32
checking for C compiler default output file name... 
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

A quick search on Goggle reveals that I need gcc and g++ installed; I installed both of these through yum.

I have looked through config.log, however I do not know what to look for in there for something that might be the problem.

Thanks for the help.

The code is checking for 32-bit output from gcc, but your build environment is 64-bit.

I don't know why the configure script was asking for 32-bit output though. You may have to install the 32-bit compiler and libraries.

How do I go about doing that?

In general maintaining multilib support is difficult. I don't know if installing gcc.i686, glibc.i686 and libstdc++.i686 is enough.

Here's an old article explaining the difficulties one may encounter when trying to set up a multilib environment.

Maybe you can get better info from the developers of the package about multilib support.
