binutils installation patch for cross-compiling
- To: binutils at sourceware dot cygnus dot com
- Subject: binutils installation patch for cross-compiling
- From: Tom Williams <binutilstom at yahoo dot com>

The attached patch fixes a problem where
cross-compiling binutils from Unix targetting Mingw32
causes the cross tools to be installed with the ".exe"
file extension instead of no file extension at all
(i.e. i386-mingw-size.exe instead of
i386-mingw32-size).
With the configure command line options of:
--target=i386-mingw32 --host=i586-pc-linux-gnu
--build=i586-pc-linux-gnu, opcodes/configure was
passing "target" to ltconfig as "host" and ltconfig
thought the ".exe" was required because Mingw32 was
being targetted. The patch passes "host" to ltconfig
in addition to "target" and ltconfig was changed to
make sure "target" *and* "host" were platforms which
required the ".exe" file extension.
Here is my attempt at a ChangeLog entry:
2000-07-20 Tom Williams <binutilstom@yahoo.com>
* configure (call to ../ltconfig): Changed call to
../ltconfig
to set a new environment variable, "CROSSHOST", to
assist
../ltconfig in determing the proper file extension
for the
bintuils programs when cross compiling and targetting
a Win32
target.
The patch is attached in GNU tar/GZip format.
Peace......
Tom
