Re: configure errors

I'm having trouble adding support for a new platform to newlib.

I have added entries in config.sub, configure.in,
libgloss/configure.in and more, but I can't seem to regenerate
libgloss/configure. Doing autoconf in the libgloss dir fails, and
doing it in the main dir does not affect libgloss.

I am probably missing something obvious, but please, enlighten me! I'm stuck!

Is the entry in the newlib FAQ about porting newlib up-to-date (i.e. I
don't have to modify any other configuration files than those listed
there)? What is the correct way of regenerating the configure files,
both in the main dir and in libgloss, newlib &co?
It is impossible for anybody to help you without knowing more information. What are the patches you made? What errors did you get from autoconf in libgloss? Do you have a risc-elf toolchain built? What options did you specify to configure newlib? Are you using the CVS repository or a newlib snapshot?

For information regarding how to regenerate configuration files, see the README file in newlib.
