How about my awk script I sent out that uses the output from ld --help to see if buildid is and option. This handles the different distro problem.
If I can get some time, I will put together a patch file with the changes to buildtarget to create a makefile.distro using awk to test ld for the buildid option. /********************* Marc Karasek MTS Sun Microsystems mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ph:770.360.6415 *********************/ ron minnich wrote: > On Dec 18, 2007 12:51 PM, Carl-Daniel Hailfinger > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >> Why not simply compile a small test.c file, look whether the output file >> contains buildid, and set a Make variable based on that? >> > > I'm not picky about how we figure it out, only that the test be run > out of buildtarget, and that it set variables in a makefile that is > included. > > short form: no running complex tests out of the build process each > time, and for sure no setting things Options.lb. > > Thanks > > ron > -- linuxbios mailing list linuxbios@linuxbios.org http://www.linuxbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
