Linker Not Found

Mozilla Build Tools blends a *nix build environment with Microsoft’s Visual Studio build tools. Many packages though, aren’t aware of Microsoft’s build tools. A common error is:


configure: error: no acceptable ld found in $PATH

A quick and easy fix for this is to run the ‘./configure’ command as:


LD=link.exe ./configure

where ‘link.exe’ point to the path of your linker.
