Gycwin: c compiler cannot create executables - tidalcycles installation - c

I'm trying to install tidalcycles (http://tidalcycles.org/getting_started.html), but i had problems running the cabal install tidal command.
Originally i had an issue due to windows10 compatibility, so I installed Cygwin and i tried to run the command from his shell. But then this occurs:
Andrea#Pc_di_Andrea ~
$ cabal install tidal

So, it says that the

is the problem. I'm running the 32bit version, and the c compiler should be installed, since i get this reply from the system:

I'm a total newbie to this 'cygwin enviroment' and I apologize if my question is not appropriate, but I read some guides about this c compiler problem and i didn't understand what i'm doing wrong, at all.

Found the problem: I didn't complete Haskell installation editing the cabal config.file, with
extra-prog-path: C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\8.0.1\msys\usr\bin
extra-lib-dirs: C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\8.0.1\mingw\lib

As you can see, I already have GCC installed, so I'm a bit lost on how to solve this issue.
Edit: I've already tried to download directly from git using apt-get, but the program is running into trouble with invalidated GPG keys. I've also tried using make as a different su, and that runs into the same error as I've shown above. If anyone has answers to either the apt-get issue (--allow-inauthenticated hasn't worked either) or the error I've pasted above, please help me out!

MacOS "configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs"

I am pretty new to the MacOS environment and I previously had some issue compiling C scripts. I had the following issue:
fatal error: stdio.h: No such file or directory
#include <stdio.h>
^
compilation terminated.
I tried to re-install xcode-select --install but keep telling me
xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates
I updated everything and nothing. Apparently it is because I don't have the /usr/includes file. I found a way to compile my software by using
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/g++ XXXX.cpp
However, now I am trying to ./compile and make another software but I don't know how to use this gcc interpreter by default. When I try to ./configure I got this error
configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs. If you meant to
cross compile, use '--host'. See 'config.log' for more details
So when I do look into config.log :

Do you have any ideas of how I can fix it ?
Thanks a lot !
It's really easy to miss the answer from melpomene in the small comments to this question so let me post this here for everyone to see. This error usually means you're missing compiler tools (headers actually) that have been removed from Xcode.
You can find them in /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/ since their name might be different depending on your version of macOS in the future.
Assuming you're running macOS Mojave (10.14), you need to run:
open /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg
And an macOS-style package installer will start, asking you for your adminstrator password. This is an official Apple package and although it might be weird to install something out of a random directory, you can trust it. You don't have to take my word for it though. Apple buried this change in the Xcode 10 release notes and you can find their explanation here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode_release_notes/xcode_10_release_notes#3035623
I'll reproduce this here in case this link ever goes away or gets changed:
The Command Line Tools package installs the macOS system headers inside the macOS SDK. Software that compiles with the installed tools will search for headers within the macOS SDK provided by either Xcode at:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk
or the Command Line Tools at:
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk
depending on which is selected using xcode-select.
The command line tools will search the SDK for system headers by default. However, some software may fail to build correctly against the SDK and require macOS headers to be installed in the base system under /usr/include. If you are the maintainer of such software, we encourage you to update your project to work with the SDK or file a bug report for issues that are preventing you from doing so. As a workaround, an extra package is provided which will install the headers to the base system. In a future release, this package will no longer be provided. You can find this package at:
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg

> To make sure that you're using the intended version of the command line tools, run xcode-select -s or xcode select -s /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools after installing.

Compiling C Program to WebAssembly Program with "Error: No available targets are compatible with this triple" on Ubuntu 16.10

Following this tutorial, I tried to compile a C program to WebAssembly by using the following command.
emcc hello.c -s WASM=1 -o hello.html
But I ecounter the "No available targets are compatible with this triple." problem.
$ emcc hello.c -s WASM=1 -o hello.html
WARNING root: LLVM version appears incorrect (seeing "(https://github.com/kripken/emscripten-fastcomp-clang/", expected "3.4")
INFO root: (Emscripten: Running sanity checks)
WARNING root: Assigning a non-existent settings attribute "WASM"
WARNING root: - did you mean one of ASM_JS?

EMCC Version
$ emcc --version
emcc (Emscripten GCC-like replacement) 1.22.1 ()
Copyright (C) 2014 the Emscripten authors (see AUTHORS.txt)
This is free and open source software under the MIT license.
There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
Basic Information
OS : Ubuntu 16.10
emcc Location: /usr/bin/emcc
You're running emcc version 1.22.1 which dates back from 8/7/2014, before WebAssembly was started.
emsdk in the instruction you followed must have installed a very recent emscripten version (this is what sdk-incoming-64bit from these instructions does: incoming is the latest branch), but an older emscripten is found in your system.
Run:
which emcc
echo $PATH
What do they say? I suspect you have an old emscripten lying in there. You probably also want to check and/or delete your ~/.emscripten file which may also contain obsolete information.
You can alter your path, delete the older emscripten, or invoke the SDK's emscripten using its absolute path (though this may fail later if other scripts pick up older versions along the path).
Don't forget (from the tutorial's instructions) to activate the SDK you've installed:
./emsdk activate --build=Release sdk-incoming-64bit binaryen-master-64bit
And run:
source ./emsdk_env.sh
This last command needs to be run for every shell session. If you open a new shell you need to re-source then SDK.

You haven't specified how to build the project. For a C project, the default is the standard autotools-style ./configure && make, but your project doesn't have a configure script (or a Makefile).
You can just add something like
build: cc file1.c file2.c …
To call the C compiler directly, but if you want the project to be useful to other people you should provide a Makefile (or use a build system like autotools, CMake, waf, etc.), then just do
build: make

error installing BRugs "C compiler cannot create executables"

I am trying to install the R library BRugs on my Ubuntu 12.04 desktop.

R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22)
Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit)
But I get the following error:

Warning in install.packages("BRugs") :

The downloaded source packages are in

Here is a link to config.log. It is difficult to tell what the error is, except that the errors starts with gcc: error: unrecognized option '-V'.
How can I get around this error (and install BRugs)?
According to the package description:
Versions running on Linux and on 64-bit R under Windows are in "beta"
status and less efficient.
And it looks like configure is trying to build the package using 32-bit executables (note the -m32 flags). It's probably best if you contact the package maintainer(s) and ask them how to build the 32-bit executable under 64-bit Ubuntu.
