>Can you give more context? How did the question come up? I noticed that, possibly due to "misconfigured" (non-standard, non-conventional) placement of the s/w (compiler, binutils, libraries, includes) on my system, which has both native and cross-compiler gcc, unless I use the shell script with env vars, pointing to the right "full-path", the ./configure does not "guess" correctly that "user wants" the native compiler to be used (rather then cross-compiler), even with the "options hint", having all 3 options (--build, --host and --target) being all set pointing to the "native" architecture ... The ./configure still picks the wrong compiler, fails the tests, pics wrong incudes, etc ... . Also the "cache persistency" is the problem (IMHO) - if the options or env vars got changed - the "cached info" needs to be not used by "configure' ... (at least I would like to have such behaviour) -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Kegel [mailto:dank@kegel.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2004 3:11 PM To: Povolotsky, Alexander Cc: 'crossgcc' Subject: Re: autoconf usage question Povolotsky, Alexander wrote: > If downloaded package has "configure" script generated by the "older" (than > available on the "host" computer} > version of "autoconf" - could such "configure" script be "upgraded" on the > "host" computer ? Not unless you run into a problem that can't be solved any other way. Autoconf is a bit fragile, best not mess with it unless you're serious. Sometimes I backport tiny fixes into the configure script as patches to avoid having to run autoconf. Can you give more context? How did the question come up?- Dan ------ Want more information?
