Hi,
This is a slightly different issue, but here is a feature to please
keep,
or give a new way of doing if it will be changed.
I often have situations where I have to give some dummy host triplet
and then explicitly specify the compiler eg for Cray XT3 builds:
CC="qk-gcc" CXX="qk-g++" --host=x86_64-none-none --build=x86_64-suse-linux
Here I want cross compilation and the compilers have nothing to do with the
host triplet etc.
Given that I don't actually ask autoconf to guess CC and CXX but specify
it most concretely this may be an irrelevant comment but I just wanted
to be sure to let you all know.
- I do not use the 'guess' features nearly as much as specifying things.
In cross compiling guessing doesn't always work well anyway
- I cross compile most of the time eg for:
- Computers with different front and back ends
- Computers where front and back end are architectually similar,
but have different environments (eg back end is behind a queue and so
tests cannot be run)
Ciao,
B

Hi,
"configure: WARNING: In the future, Autoconf will not detect cross-tools
whose name does not start with the host triplet. If you think this
configuration is useful to you, please write to autoconf@xxxxxxxx"
The configuration is Really useful to me!
TIA
