RTEMS 4.6.1 on Cygwin "configure:2838: error: C compiler cannot create executables"

[Mark Dean]

Hi Joel,

   Originaly I had been trying to build only the 8260 BSP but when it wasn't working I though "what the hell! I'll build 'em all just to see what happens". Needless to say the same thing happened :-)

   regards,
      Mark.

I don't know in particular why the compiler won't satisfy autofonc but 
you should add the --enable-rtemsbsp=BSP_OF_INTEREST to your configure
line.  You will be building for hours if you build all BSPs.  Or maybe
you are really interested in the dmv177. :)

Try the steps here to check on the compiler

http://www.rtems.com/onlinedocs/releases/rtemsdocs-4.6.1/share/rtems/html/started/started00056.html

That procedure should also ask you to compile and link

main(){}

with the command "CPU-rtems-gcc main.c".

This is more or less what autoconf is attempting.  The output will help you.
