Dealing with "C compiler cannot create executables" in Cygwin

Answer 1

The '-llib' seems a bit unusual to me, but I'm far from an expert. Just out of curiosity is autoconf installed? I had some problems similar to this until I installed autoconf. It seems like the configure script is incorrectly generating a '-llib' value but it's hard to say why based on just the snippets posted.

Answer 3

When I've had this problem, it has been a link error caused by Cygwin looking for "library.o" instead of "library.obj" or "library.so" instead of "library.dll".
