I happened to have a file called a.dvi in my building directory and then configure stopped with a message that my C compiler didn't produce any working code. I have autoconf version 2.50 here, haven't tried any other versions.
Silly question: Are you sure there was not a file `a.out' too?
Positive!

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.

a.dvi

I found the following lines in config.log: ------------------------------------------ configure:2209: checking for C compiler default output configure:2212: gcc -Wl,-rpath,/home.local/matsb/lib conftest.c >&5 configure:2215: $? = 0 configure:2238: result: a.dvi configure:2243: checking whether the C compiler works configure:2249: ./a.dvi ./configure: ./a.dvi: Permission denied -------------------------------------------
Can someone else confirm this problem?
I can confirm the obvious fact that autoconf is broken:
16:31:17 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/lily $ touch a.out 16:31:23 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/lily $ chmod -w a.out 16:31:35 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/lily $ clily checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking Package... LILYPOND checking builddir... /home/janneke/lily ... checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. 16:31:39 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/lily
I browsed quickly through the autoconf documentation and tried a quick search in Google but couldn't find anything directly related. Maybe I should file a bug report. Especially if anyone can confirm my results with a.dvi on the latest autoconf version.
