BlitzMax with ArchLinux -> g++ Error

Hey

tried to compile any sample with blitzmax, but everytime i got an error message :

g++: Error : unrecognized option »--eh-frame-hdr«



perhaps error appears becouse of active compositing.....but it's just a theory

building moduls finished without errors.

I'm running Archlinux
kernel 2.6.38
gnome-shell

hope somebody finds a solution for my little problem

THX !

ps: i tried with gnome-shell @ ubuntu 11.04 . At ubuntu, everything works fine....
but would be nice to find a solution for archlinux !

I have just the same problem with Arch Linux. My friend says problem is because Arch Linux keeps most up toi date version of all software including g++. Blitz team must repair this. It's only way to get it working.

Here is my uname -a
Linux ArskaPC 2.6.39-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jun 6 22:37:55 CEST 2011 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 630 Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux


For now i have to use Windows for programming... :(

This is because in GCC versions prior to 4.6.0 you could just pass linker options to gcc which would then pass any unknown option to the linker, which is actually pretty stupid if you think about it. (Think of typos)
In GCC 4.6.0, this has changed. Apparently BlitzResearchLTD is too busy bringing out new products to support older ones.

Please guys, you already forced me to switch to BlitzMax, I don't want to switch to monkey.

No worries. I send support ticket and i got answer:
Hi,

Thanks for letting us know. I've forwarded your email on to Mark Sibly.

Regards,
Simon Harrison,
Blitz Research.

I got this email 25.6. Hopefully they fix it soon. :)

I've sent an email (well 3 to be correct) too yesterday, Mark Sibly responded me and he's working on a fix.

Im running arch linux with the latest GCC and blitzmax IDE wont open,
'unable to determine blitzmax version'
