Compiling With MinGW Results In "cannot find native C compiler" #18

Open saphtea opened 8 years ago

saphtea commented 8 years ago

Hey! So I've been able to compile sf2dlib, sfillib, libpng portlib, and libjpeg-turbo just fine, but when I come to compile sftdlib it gives me the error "configure: error: cannot find native C compiler". I am using MinGW so I imagine that could be apart of the issue, but it seems like I should still be able to compile and it may be an issue with the makefile. Thanks for reading this!

Also, here's an image of the error and some of the lines surrounding it. image

You shouldn't be compiling Freetype yourself (and you are building it for your host...). Use https://github.com/devkitPro/3ds_portlibs instead.

Wait yeah sorry I completely reported this to the wrong repository I'm so sorry, this was while I was compiling Freetype from the repository you linked to o_O. Also why not compile Freetype myself out of curiosity? Are their precompiled versions out there? Sorry again and seriously thanks for looking at this xP.

EDIT: Also what do you mean by building it for my host? I've tried to google around a bit, but wasn't able to understand exactly what you meant. Thanks again!

noted from the INSTALL.CROSS of the freetype-2.10.1:" A C compiler for a self-build is required also, to build a tool (`apinames') that is executed during the build procedure. " So my advice is to run: "sudo apt-get install build-essential" before "./configure"
