I'm trying out YACS to build some potato CD's on a powerpc box (that's all I really have available) and it requires apt 0.3.11.1. Building from the latest CVS apt yields the following: ----- two00:/usr/local/src/apt# autoconf configure.in:98: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross compiling two00:/usr/local/src/apt# ./configure loading cache ./config.cache ./configure: tl_CHECK_TOOL_PREFIX: command not found ./configure: tl_PROG_CC: command not found checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... yes checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) is a cross-compiler... no checking whether we are using GNU C... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for POSIXized ISC... no ./configure: tl_CANONICAL_HOST: command not found ./configure: tl_CHECK_TOOL_PREFIX: command not found ./configure: tl_PROG_CXX: command not found checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... g++ -E checking for X... libraries /usr/X11R6/lib, headers /usr/X11R6/include checking for dnet_ntoa in -ldnet... no checking for dnet_ntoa in -ldnet_stub... no checking for gethostbyname... yes checking for connect... yes checking for remove... yes checking for shmat... yes checking for IceConnectionNumber in -lICE... yes checking for XpmLibraryVersion in -lXpm... yes checking for SLang_Version in -lslang... no checking for Gpm_Open in -lgpm... yes checking system architecture... configure: error: failed: use --host= two00:/usr/local/src/apt#
At this point explicitly passing the host platform doesn't help at all, same problem configuring. I sure would be happy to hear what dumb mistake I'm making. :) Thanks, -- Matt Porter [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is Linux Country. On a quiet night, you can hear Windows reboot.
