  2. the C standard library name and version (e.g. glibc version 2.x),

  4. the generated config.log file,
  5. the generated config.h file, if it exists,
  6. the output of the make command. You can capture it by running ‘make > make-output.txt 2>&1’,
  7. any other error messages,
  8. any other information that you think could lead to solving the problem.

To report usage problems, include:

  1. all the above things you include when reporting building problems,
  2. a description of the problem that the software causes,
  3. any error messages that are displayed,
  4. any other information that you think could lead to solving the problem.
