How to build QuantLib on mac os x 10.9.5 - c++

So far I'm unable to build QuantLib 1.5 on os x 10.9.5 following the official instructions http://quantlib.org/install/macosx.shtml

So what may be wrong? And how can I fix it?

See `config.log' for more details

If you have this problem
checking whether the C compiler works... no
It means that you have not installed the command line tools properly for your Xcode. Please download and install it.

Your clue is in the config.log: "clang: error: unknown argument: '-stlib=libstdc++' "
change -stlib to -stdlib, it should compile and build.

See this related answer on how to configure gcc. The reason is, like me, you probably installed GCC with homebrew or something, therefore not using Apple's default.
I installed GCC 5.3 with homebrew.
Worked for me by just taking out -stdlib option all together.

Configure Error on KLEE Docker: C compiler cannot create executables

I'm trying to build Coreutils with LLVM, using klee docker based on step 3 on https://klee.github.io/tutorials/testing-coreutils/.
But I found a problem on running:
CC=wllvm ../configure --disable-nls CFLAGS="-g -O1 -Xclang -disable-llvm-passes -D__NO_STRING_INLINES -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0 -U__OPTIMIZE__"
it says
checking for gcc... wllvm
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/home/klee/coreutils-8.0/obj2':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
before running the code above I have install wllvm before through
pip install --upgrade wllvm
and already installed
Requirement already up-to-date: wllvm in /home/klee/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
But although I already installed it, it still produces error, and I don't know how to handle it,
I have use the solution provided in C compiler cannot create executables during build of Coreutils with LLVM, but nothing different,
after that I follow instruction in https://github.com/travitch/whole-program-llvm/issues/68, said to use clang rather than wllvm. The program was running after that, but error again on execute
find . -executable -type f | xargs -I '{}' extract-bc '{}'
that say
xargs: extract-bc: No such file or directory
After searching any source, I still can't solve it.
this is part of the config.log when wllvm not found

It seems that wllvm is simply not in your $PATH. You can check that with which; for example for me it is:
$ which wllvm
/home/#####/.local/bin/wllvm

When building the library matio, the configure script throws the error "C compiler cannot create executables"

For building the library matio, I first need to execute a configure script and afterwards run make. The configure script however throws the following error:
configure: error: in `/home/user/matio-master':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
More specifically, the error happens while executing core tests. Below you see a section of the config.log. What could be the reason for the fail and how can I fix it?

Mingw32 not recognizing wx-widgets

I'm trying to use mingw32 to compile an application for windows32. It has a makefile, and when I normally use ./configure, it works fine.
However, when I set the host as --host=i686-w64-mingw32, this happens:

wxWidgets does not seem to be installed on your system.
If you think wxWidgets >= 2.8.9 is installed,
please check that wx-config is in path, the directory
where wxWidgets libraries are installed (returned by
'wx-config --libs' command) is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or
equivalent variable.
What's causing this? As you can see from the successful ./configure, I have wxWidgets 3.0.2 installed. MinGW version 4.0.4-2 is installed. Do these versions work with each other? Obviously wxWidgets is configured and everything because it normally works. I can't figure out why it suddenly can't find wxwidgets just because the host is different.

You're trying to cross-compile from Linux to Windows. For this to work, you need a Windows version of wxWidgets and not the native Linux one which is found in your first example.
Do you actually want to cross-compile? Your phrase about "just because the host is different" leaves a doubt about whether you actually do it intentionally.

Install System C to Cygwin

I am trying to install System C 2.3.0 to Cygwin (1.7.25). I am running the ../configure in the objdir (as many tutorials online state) but i get the following error:
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

Any help would be appreciated!
I figured out my issue. In my .cshrc file, I had modified the $path variable and actually removed gcc and g++. Thus, gcc and g++ both were not working and so the configure script was failing when it tried to run them.
I fixed up my cshrc and the $path variable now has /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/g++ and the configure script runs successfully.

C Compiler cannot create executables, OpenSolaris Erlang/OTP ./configure error

I have gcc4 installed, in the $PATH, installed libgcc installed, but still getting this error. searching the web got me to try adding /usr/ccs/bin in order to locate the ld.so file (probably got to do with C++ Compiler or linker). Could some one help me out

See `config.log' for more details.
Your linker cannot find the values-Xa.o object file.
According to this FAQ, it either means your system is missing a package required by the compiler, or that the required packages are installed but your default library path does not reflect it.
As a quick check, you can try adding /usr/ccs/lib to the library path:
./configure LDFLAGS="-L/usr/ccs/lib"
