I am faced with the pleasure of using an AT&T open source package named 'cdt' in a cross-compilation environment. It appears they have an internal tool called 'iffe' somewhat similar to autoconf. This is old news to anyone who followed the Software Carpentry competition, I suppose; see http://sc-archive.codesourcery.com/entries/config/SapCat/SapCat.html
Still, it's worth a look. Although iffe makes me want to vomit, that's just my normal reaction to any complex new tool that will be a pain for me to deal with, and they did something that I've been wanting autoconf to do for some time: they support the equivalent of AC_TRY_RUN when cross-compiling. (I suspect it'll be too much of a pain for me to use, though...) The doc's at http://www.research.att.com/~gsf/man/man1/iffe.html It's an interesting window onto an alternate universe, not unlike djb's world... - Dan -- Dan Kegel http://www.kegel.com http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/runscript/display-person.cgi?user=78045
