Re: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2010-01/msg00039.html I also want to use autoconf for an embedded system code base and I want to force my configure script to set the cross compile environment correctly. I'm trying to get a team to adopt autotools for a rather large embedded project, but I need to make sure the default execution of 'configure' does the right thing without forcing the setting of 'CC' and --host and a few other defaults. I have set the following in my 'configure.ac': <snip> host=mips-elf host_alias=mips-elf ac_tool_prefix=mips-elf- cross_compiling=yes AC_PROG_CC </snip> This does work, but is this the best approach? comments please...
