[Mesa-users] MESA FAQ

[Warrick Ball]

Hi Calum,

I'm not a build expert but in a bid to try to help (others have already 
pointed you to other relevant parts of the website), have you looked at

http://mesa.sourceforge.net/faq.html#why-do-i-get-the-error-c-compiler-cannot-create-executables

also in the FAQ?  In particular,

"If you receive the error ... during the MESA installation of crlibm, 
please check that you are not using an unsupported 32-bit system."

In particular, the lines

     checking build system type... i386-apple-darwin17.2.0
     checking host system type... i386-apple-darwin17.2.0

in your `tester.log` suggests to me that you're on a 32-bit system, on 
which MESA isn't supported.

Cheers,
Warrick
