Is there some technical reason why running it doesn't do anything for a host-gcc target? I get that it doesn't actually need to, but is there some reason it can't just go ahead and set up links anyway? The reason I ask is because one of the open-source components I'm building, ppp, has this in the Makefile for pppd:
ifneq ($(wildcard /usr/include/crypt.h),)
CFLAGS += -DHAVE_CRYPT_H=1
#endif
ifneq ($(wildcard /usr/lib/libcrypt.*),)
LIBS += -lcrypt
#endif
I'll grant you that's not a terribly wonderful way for them to have done that check -- nor did they provide any mechanism to allow you to simply say, "Yes, I have that stuff" -- but, given that they did it the way they did, and given that one of Scratchbox's intentions is to be able to build open-source components without having to diddle them... :)
I can script around it, but if there's no real reason why the links couldn't be set up, it might be worth considering doing.
Thanks,Diane
