Cannot finish configure script while trying to compile libaaio

[poliana-girl]

While trying to run the configure script I get a weird error on my system. I'm on Fedora 40.

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for working aclocal-1.4... missing

checking for working autoheader... found
checking for working makeinfo... found
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.

Here is my config.log file as well:

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

 1083 | main(){return(0);}
      | ^~~~
configure: failed program was:

#line 1081 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

main(){return(0);}

Anyone have any idea why this might be happening? Thank you.

Experiencing the same issue when running configure for libaaio with gcc (GCC) 14.1.1 20240507 on kernel 6.8.9-arch1-2.

For me, commenting lines 1107-1109 of the configure script bypasses the check and seems to allow ./configure to complete.

Probably the best fix is to add the missing int type declaration to the test C program in line 1083 (see also line 1195 etc). This isn't CDP code, so modifying the config file feels like somewthing we should consider carefully, though I have seen no evidence of it being maintained/updated by the author since 2005. RD.

I did this in libaaio src dir: export CFLAGS='-std-c89' and then ./configure --prefix=/usr/local

It compiles fine - but still having problems with the portaudio (paplay etc.) when trying to compile cdp itself.

Hello, im having trouble with the same error message. After running

sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local

I have reinstalled base-devel and tried to comment out lines 1107-1109 per defaultxr's suggestion. However im still stuck. I tried to compile a simple .c program with GCC and it worked. I have aclocal-1.17 installed.

Is this not the same problem reported earlier - edit the configure file to add "int " before "main" (there are/were two instances where this was omitted by accident: around lines 1083 and 1195). I have just tested it again on my Ubuntu setup, and it all passes. Maybe I should simply rezip libaaio with the corrected configure file? I will need to know that that edit fixes things. RD.
