I was able to compile SDL_net with an older MinGW-Msys environment nearly one year ago.

Now I decided to install the latest MinGW-Msys environment and run directly into a problem with SDL_net:

1$ ./configure
2checking build system type... i686-pc-mingw32
3checking host system type... i686-pc-mingw32
4checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c
5checking whether build environment is sane... yes
6checking for gawk... gawk
7checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
8checking for style of include used by make... GNU
9checking for gcc... gcc
10checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler
11 cannot create executables
12See `config.log' for more details.

I'm a beginner in building Dosbox, I don't know what to do now. Can somebody help me?
SDL library 1.2.14 compiled without problems.

This is the config.log :

1This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
2running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

4It was created by configure, which was
5generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59.  Invocation command line was

You might need to run ./autogen.sh first OR use development branch of SDL_net.
Maybe you don't even need SDL_net depending on your gaming needs

If all you want to do is compile DOSBox you don't need to build SDL - install this:

http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-devel-1.2.1 … -mingw32.tar.gz

Extract it to a folder, go into the folder (in MSYS, that is) and run "make native".

Alternatively I think you can just slap an SDL.dll in the folder with the code, iirc I used to do that - IIRC if you build it yourself this needs to be done, but I'm not sure if that's the right way to do it.

@yushatak, the op wrote SDL compiled fine. SDL_net is the problem.

1gcc -pipe -02

is this -O2 (as in letter o) or -02 (as in zero 2)

Hi gulikoza.
It is "Zero-two".

I doubt its a problem of the newer gcc-compiler. Has been the older gcc a special MinGW-Version? :

The compiler tells you otherwise. Why not actually READ the error messages before posting here?

How are those params generated?
I digged out the old config.log from my old MinGW-env. and there are the params missing (but it compiled without problems):

env vars, configure params, can be anything.

As Dominus already noted this is completely unrelated to dosbox so please use the respective sdl forums.

I found the problem 😁 . I did a type-mistake when setting up the environment.
For a beginner its really hard to get an overview.
Sorry for wasting your time. 😢
