How to run Saint ?

[Daniel Simard]

Hi,
I've downloaded saint 4.2.1 and tried to get it going on our Hp-11.00 server.

The read-me says to run ./configure but I get an error message..

The error message is..
./configure
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for gcc... (cached) gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.


I was wondering if you guys could help me with the error and / or suggest a compiler that can create executables.

Thanks,

[Robert-Jan Goossens]

Daniel,

You can download this compiled version here.

Hope it helps,

Robert-Jan.

first check if yout gcc is working.

Create a small C-program

main()
{
printf ("Hello World\n");
}

store this in file world.c and
try compiling

gcc world.c

This caught my eye.

C compiler cannot create executables.


Permissions problems?

Next, check your path, check the swverify -l product on the compiler.

With the exception of Saint itself, gcc and other prerequisites were installed on our systems from depots.

Finding a good Saint release that I could make work on 11 or 11.11 was hard, I had to use a tar file from a security class I took back in 2001.
