Hello all,
Hello Joao Miguel,
where can I find a list of the currentlly supported --host=myHost options for cross compilation... (linux, hp, sun, cygwin, etc)
AFAIK there is no such list, however as soon as you use AC_CANONICAL_HOST in configure.ac *and* you use automake, automake will install config.sub and config.guess. The role of config.sub is to validate and canonicalize a given --host whereas the role of config.guess is to guess a canonical system name.
# Find the canonical name of mingw32 $ ./config.sub mingw32 i386-pc-mingw32 # Find the canonical name of my system $ ./config.guess i386-apple-darwin8.10.1By looking at the switch-case done by these scripts, you can figure out the various hosts recognized by --host.
By the way, I have a question to the list, AC_CANONICAL_HOST implies AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, maybe this should be mentionned in the documentation? Also, is it normal that I absolutely need to use automake in order to use AC_CANONICAL_*? Actually, as soon as you use AC_CANONICAL_*, configure will require install-sh, which is installed by automake. Thus you have to use AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE and at least add an empty Makefile.am and use AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile]).
