Configure script looks for ld too early
Because of #3565 (closed), I tried moving c:/mingw
out of the way. But now 'configure' falls over saying
checking for ld... no
configure: error: cannot find ld in your PATH, no idea how to link
This is because 'configure' checks for ld before doing any of the mingw-tar-ball-unpacking stuff. (Somehow the treatment of gcc
, just before, is different.)
This is a show-stopper
- because of #3565 (closed) the build fails if I have c:/mingw
- because of the above, the configure fails if I don't have c:/mingw
It'd be best to fix this before #3565 (closed); then people can at least make progress by moving c:/mingw to something else.
Thanks
Simon
