I recently had a similar problem compiling QEMU on a freshly installed
system, where I only had a normal C compiler, but no C++ installed yet.
In rules.mak, you can find these lines:
# If we have a CXX we might have some C++ objects, in which case we
# must link with the C++ compiler, not the plain C compiler.
LINKPROG = $(or $(CXX),$(CC))
So that's ok, it sets LINKPROG to the c++ compiler if the variable is
set, and to the C compiler if not.
But now have a look at the configure script:
if test -z "${CXX}${cross_prefix}"; then
cxx="c++"
else
cxx="${CXX-${cross_prefix}g++}"
fi
[...]
echo "CXX=$cxx" >> $config_host_mak
That seems to always set the CXX variable! I think the above
if-statement is wrong, it should set cxx only if the c++ program is
really available.
