[SOLVED] Successully building an ADA compiler

Question

Hi *
I'm trying to compile the gnat ada compiler and to do this i followed the arch wiki.
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Suc … er_in_Arch
But i get the following error:
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
I followed the troubleshooting section which describes this error, and made the necessary changes to my makepkg.conf file but the error still persists.
So I then looked in the config.log file:
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.
It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59. Invocation command line was
$ ../configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,objc,obj-c++,treelang,ada --enable-threads=posix --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-multilib --libdir=/usr/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --enable-clocale=gnu --disable-libstdcxx-pch --with-tune=generic

mmm maybe the wiki page is outdated. I reccomend to use this PKGBUILD [#1]
Do this:
# pacman -S base-devel
$ wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gcc-ada/gcc-ada.tar.gz
$ tar xf gcc-ada.tar.gz
$ cd gcc-ada
$ makepkg
Take a coffee
And a gcc-ada package will be created, just install with pacman -U
