yes. I am after the triplet for the host system. I don't see a way to automatically obtain the triplet for an arbitrary target. I have added options to the config file which I can use (in addition to configure.build_arch) to derive the appropriate triplets for an iOS device and the iOS simulator. I suppose I'll add one more option to allow for an explicit specification of the parts of the triplet besides the build_arch.
just a thought.... Is there a way to deduce the information for the triplet by invoking the target's compiler without having to actually run code on the target device? -James On Jan 26, 2011, at 2:40 AM, Rainer Müller wrote: > On 2011-01-26 00:24 , James Gregurich wrote: >> howdy! >> >> I note that there is a config.guess at: >> >> var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/base/config.guess >> >> Is that file part of the macports software stack that I can call from >> portconfigure.tcl?
