C compiler cannot create executables (cygwin, rtorrent, windows) - cygwin

I was following "rTorrent on Windows" tutorial, and i think i installed all requested packages for rTorrent, though i am not 100% sure.
Problem starts with installing and configuring libsigc++
./configure
user#computer ~
$ cd /usr/local/src/libsigc++-2.2.10
user#computer /usr/local/src/libsigc++-2.2.10

Did i miss any package or something else?
I am hoping for help. This is my first time with cygwin and rtorrent... obviously i need to figure things out before going further :O

You're missing a C compiler in your cygwin environment. Run the cygwin setup again and choose to install g++, and you should see progress.

Getting error while building package checking for set-gcc... no

I've tried to build some packages from source code. I've been solving many error so far but I reach one point where I can't find any solution even after spending hours of searching online. I think the problem is the line "checking for set-gcc... no" but what is "set-gcc". I've tried "apt install set-gcc" but it is not the package name.

Build Pulseaudio-11.1 and intltool >= 0.35.0 bug

Im trying to build pulseaudio-11.1 because firefox asks for it to play audio on video.
Im using knoppix 8.1, 64 bit installation, but it runs in 32bits.
When I configure the pulseaudio source, I get a message stating that intltool is too old. Despite having met their version requirement at 0.35.0. I installed from source version 0.51.0 and 0.50.2 but neither installation satisfied the demand. I get the same message at the end when I run bootstrap.sh

checking for intltool >= 0.35.0... found
configure: error: Your intltool is too old. You need intltool 0.35.0 or later.
This was before and after I removed version 0.35.0 of intltool that was pre-installed and then installed the newer versions, 0.51.0, then 0.50.2 to try a slightly older version if there was something wrong with the newest release, which is ironically quite old dating back to 2015.
Also bizarrly to top it off as you can see in the output before stating that the version is too old that it had found exactly what it is saying it does not have.
So in conclusion pulseaudio asks for intltool >= 0.35.0 which it finds and says right afterwards that it has not, which remained true across 3 seperate instances that satisfied their request on version 0.35.0, 0.51.0 and 0.50.2
Any help is appreciated.
At installation 'NetworkManager-l2tp-master' i stumbled upon an error:
configure: error: Your intltool is too old. You need intltool 0.35 or later.
I used intermediate commands:
./configure
sudo apt update
sudo apt install intltool imagemagick libmagickcore-dev pstoedit libpstoedit-dev
git clone https://github.com/autotrace/autotrace.git
cd autotrace
#unnecessary command for clarification should bugs be introduced later
git rev-parse HEAD
#t86c9c80c4h669302cb2571c0cab0rer7a102731
./autogen.sh
cd .. # necessarily exit from 'autotrace' directory
autoreconf -i
./configure # again
after that, the error is resolved and indicates to:
configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-3.0 >= 3.4) were not met:
No package 'gtk+-3.0' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GTK_CFLAGS
and GTK_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
This alert indicates that possible it is not installed pkg-config (corresponding version of Linux).

When building GCC on Alpine without root user, I am getting an error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

Thanks in advance!
I had the same error while installing python in alpine, I fixed it with this:
apk --update add gcc make g++ zlib-dev
But what I want is to create a script to build GCC for non-root
environment
Well, then create a user (May be you already did), and install {gcc, g++, etc. build requirements} with apk , and do the build in /home/[name]/gcc-build/ with
1) ../gcc-5.4.0/configure --prefix=/home/[name]/gcc54 --program-suffix=54 --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-multilib
2) make
GCC version 5 or lower is suggested. Note : If e.g. gcc-4.9.x, the configuring command, etc. is different.

Configure options for building MinGW-64 on linux-64 for linux-64 (ultimately targetting windows-64)

I want to build MinGW-w64 where:
A: I want to compile MinGW itself on Linux (64-bit).
B: I want the MinGW tools (compiler, etc) to run on Linux (64-bit).
C: I want the MinGW tools (compiler, etc) to produce code that runs on Windows 64-bit (Win7 & Win8).
I'm having trouble at the configure stage. I've googled around a bit but I can't find out what options I need to pass to configure.
I have downloaded the source for MinGW-w64 SVN from (https://svn.code.sf.net/p/mingw-w64/code/trunk/).
(AFAICT this is the current official repo).
The source has a text help (mingw-w64-doc/howto-build/mingw-w64-howto-build.txt). However, this is primarily intended for those wanting to run MinGW tools on Windows.
The example options (for a non-multilib w64 target) are: --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --target=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --disable-multilib
But I think I want the host option to refer to linux (right?). I've tried --host=x86_64-linux-gnuand --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu but no luck.
I get the error:
configure: error: Please check if the mingw-w64 header set and the build/host option are set properly.
configure: error: ../../../svn/mingw-w64-v6615-2014-05-07/mingw-w64-crt/configure failed for mingw-w64-crt

NOTE: I can successfully compile native GCC & Clang from source.
Purpose:
My ultimate goal is to use the latest Clang to produce C++14 code for Windows 7/8 64-bit (including D3D11 & OpenGL).
I want to build trunk MinGW because the latest Clang produces assembly code that the default MinGW cannot assemble (mainly "junk at end of line" errors).
As of 2014-05-07 (today), only Clang offers full C++14 support, and I am making use of features only available in Clang (eg: variable templates).
Yet, Clang relies on GCC / MinGW for assembling and linking.
Info:
OS: Linux Mint 16 64-bit (XFCE).
Thanks for all assistance.
Old question, but an answer might be helpful to those coming from google.
The host and build flags are a bit misleading. The info from the help page at mingw-w64-crt/configure --help shows:
System types:
--build=BUILD configure for building on BUILD [guessed]
--host=HOST cross-compile to build programs to run on HOST [BUILD]
So we want to leave --build alone, and specify the windows system we wish to cross-compile for with --host.
So, the way to build for 64bit windows, and include both 32bit and 64bit libraries and std::experimental features is with:
./configure --enable-lib32 --enable-lib64 --enable-experimental --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32
It's very similar if you want to build for 32bit windows, but of course you can't enable 64bit mode:
./configure --enable-lib32 --enable-experimental --host=i686-w64-mingw32
https://github.com/Zeranoe/mingw-w64-build
I think your answer is here:
./mingw-w64-build x86_64 for 64bit;
or
./mingw-w64-build x86_64 i686 for 32bit.
I met the same error while configuring. After reading the shell in mingw-w64-build this file, I think you will have to execute:
./configure in folder ../x86_64-w64-v8.0.0/mingw-w64-headers,
then
./configure in folder ../x86_64-w64-v8.0.0/mingw-w64-crt,
and finally
./configure in folder ../x86_64-w64-v8.0.0/mingw-w64-libraries/winpthreads.
I did not verify the whole process manually, because this shell file just did the job.
Maybe you could try this - its the latest version of mingw and you dont have to compile it by yourself:
https://github.com/Zeranoe/mingw-w64-build
it supports almost all distros...
