It depends on what you are doing. You are providing to little details. In general, <tool> is supposed to be a native tool, while <target>-<tool> is supposed to be a cross tool targeting <target>. > and if yes, how can i force > automake/autoconf to choose a particular > - or better - in any case the > correct version ? It depends on what you are doing. For native compilation you normally want <tool>, for cross-compilation, you normally want <target>-<tool>. With properly written configure scripts and correctly set up PATH, you'll get the native versions if not specifying --host when running configure, and the cross-tools when running configure --host=<target> Ralf
