c compiler can not create executable files while installing madplay

[Gödel]

try doing it like this, I am not root at any stage (replace "USER" by your user name "narendra")

$ mkdir temp
$ cd temp
$ wget ftp://ftp.mars.org/pub/mpeg/libid3tag-0.15.1b.tar.gz
$ wget ftp://ftp.mars.org/pub/mpeg/libmad-0.15.1b.tar.gz
$ wget ftp://ftp.mars.org/pub/mpeg/madplay-0.15.1b.tar.gz

$ tar xvf libmad-0.15.1b.tar.gz
$ tar xvf libid3tag-0.15.1b.tar.gz
$ tar xvf madplay-0.15.1b.tar.gz

$ cd libmad-0.15.1b/
$ ./configure --prefix=/home/USER/temp/

$ vi Makefile (remove '-force-mem' option from CFLAGS on line 129, it causes gcc 4.3+ to fail)

$ make -j2
$ make install

$ cd ../libid3tag-0.15.1b/
$ ./configure --prefix=/home/USER/temp/
$ make -j2
$ make install

$ cd ../madplay-0.15.1b/
$ ./configure --prefix=/home/USER/temp/ CPPFLAGS="-I/home/USER/temp/include/" LDFLAGS="-L/home/USER/temp/lib"
$ make -j2

(Note, CPPFLAGS is right, I was confused with CXXFLAGS above)

But that will give you a x86 native binary, if you want to cross-compile for arm you need a cross-compiler
