and what's on line 6680 in that configure?

I know, it's not right, but solution is temporaly hardcode configure in xbmc/screensavers/rsxs-0.9/configure..

........ line
else
lt_cv_path_LD="$LD" # Let the user override the test with a path.
fi
fi

lt_cv_path_LD="/usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.5/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld"
LD="$lt_cv_path_LD"
if test -n "$LD"; then
{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: $LD" >&5
$as_echo "$LD" >&6; }
else
{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: no" >&5
$as_echo "no" >&6; }
fi
test -z "$LD" && as_fn_error $? "no acceptable ld found in \$PATH" "$LINENO" 5
{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: checking if the linker ($LD) is GNU ld" >&5
$as_echo_n "checking if the linker ($LD) is GNU ld... " >&6; }


after that xbmc compiles and works correctly .. problem is somwhere in /bin/ld detection ...

I use openSUSE 11.4 x86_64 and got same issue when today tried to update XBMC from the git repo.

I read topic and propose new solution on how-to temporary fix the issue: just setup right path to the `ld`, before running `./configure`, in other words:

Code:

$ LD=/usr/`uname -m`-suse-linux/bin/ld ./configure --disable-pulse --enable-mid

This solution works for me and I hope that would be worked for other openSUSE 11.4 users. But also I hope that issue would be fixed by the XBMC core team.

----

BTW, for updating XBMC from the git repo I used little shell script, placed here. Feel free to use it too

[ivonovak]

problem is there :

ac_prog=ld
if test "$GCC" = yes; then
# Check if gcc -print-prog-name=ld gives a path.
{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: checking for ld used by $CC" >&5
$as_echo_n "checking for ld used by $CC... " >&6; }
case $host in
*-*-mingw*)
# gcc leaves a trailing carriage return which upsets mingw
ac_prog=`($CC -print-prog-name=ld) 2>&5 | tr -d '\015'` ;;
*)
ac_prog=`($CC -print-prog-name=ld) 2>&5` ;;
esac
echo ac_prog: $ac_prog
case $ac_prog in
# Accept absolute paths.
[\\/]* | ?:[\\/]*)
re_direlt='/[^/][^/]*/\.\./'
# Canonicalize the pathname of ld
ac_prog=`$ECHO "$ac_prog" | $SED 's%\\\\%/%g'`

echo ac_prog: $ac_prog
echo re_direlt: $re_direlt


and echoes returns :
ac_prog: /usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.5/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld
/usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.5/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld: no input files
ac_prog:
re_direlt: /[^/][^/]*/\.\./

problem is in "sed" , this command nulls ac_prog !!!!

But when this command I paste into commandline, this works ....
echo "/usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.5/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld" | sed 's%\\\\%/%g'

returns : /usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.5/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld
......Any temporaly is not good It would be correct coded in master repository ...
