Re: [Rpcemu] Rpcemu Digest, Vol 85, Issue 1

David, Philip

Many thanks but still struggling.

I have 'hg cloned' the latest the latest release from www.home.marutan.net/hg/rpcemu to my local drive per the instructions, but when I do the configure step I get:

./configure --enable-dynarec
checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c

configure: error: in `/home/bruno/rpcemu/src':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details

Any ideas ?  If it helps, I'm running Linux Mint 17

Cheers

This is RPCEmu's current developer's site :-    http://marutan.net/rpcemuspoon/      RISC OS 5 resources are at :-    https://www.riscosopen.org/content/downloads    The ROM is under "RiscPC/A7000", the icon is the clue. A   self-extracting !Boot is under "Miscellaneous".    OS5.20 is the stable release, OS5.21 is the development beta.
