[gnugo-devel] Gnugo compile failed

[Richard Johnson]

I have the following error message when attempting to compile gnugo:

cc -g -O2 -o mkpat mkpat.o transform.o dfa.o ../utils/libutils.a -lm

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

make: *** [Makefile:371: mkpat] Error 1

All other folders compile without complaint

Unfortunately my comfort level in working with C is not nearly as high as it is with python.

Any guidance on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
