I am trying to build zlib on an "old" linux box, to be run on a "new" linux box. Therefore, I run: % configure --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for a BSD-compatible install... /auto/andatcd/coreutils/5.0/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking how to suppress newlines using echo... option checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc... i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no which is wrong - in this case the build machine has a 2.2 glibc while the host machine has a 2.3 glibc, so none of the "compile and run" tests will work unless we are in cross-compile more. Thoughts? H _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
