configure scripts and cross-compiling

2001-05-23 Thread Mike Culbertson
Could somone specify what it is generic configure script would have to find in order to think that the compiler I am using (gcc 2.95-3 on sun/sparc solaris 8) is a cross-compiler? I have a fairly standard install of everything, and I am using no proprietary tools with the exception of a few in

Re: configure scripts and cross-compiling

2001-05-23 Thread Guido Draheim
You are doing fine, just some configure-checks are not ready for cross-compiling, and that's what you are warned about. Basically, the package that you are trying to cross-compile has not been made ready for cross-compiling. Two approaches: a) learn about config.site or cache-file, and let it

Auto-tools Win32 Borland C++ Builder

2001-05-23 Thread Axel Thimm
sorry for the excessive addressing, but this topic touches all auto-tools. I am in the process of convincing some people to move their Borland based source code development to proprietary free models. As you may guess, this is an extremly difficult task, requiring more pedagogical than technical

This is not restricted to borland compilers, there are quite some C-compilers on unix-systems that quite some people like to see supported, however most of the autotools developers do live in a quite gnu'ish/gcc'ish environment, and every now and then, a gmake'ish/gcc pecularity slips in that
