The message asking about cross compilation reminded me that I have a patch
that is needed for cross compilation. Because autoconf's AC_CHECK_FILE fails
when cross compiling, it use in location the pci.ids file needs to be
surrounded in a conditional. Otherwise, the configure script never allows
the --with-pci-ids-path to be used.
Why would that fail? There are 3 test in a row, two of them are
expected to always fail. If all of them will fail, if you must specify
the thing on the commandline. That seems to work fine here.
I should not have used the term 'fail'. Rather, I should have used the
term 'die'. The AC_CHECK_FILE macro checks to see whether or not the
package is being cross compiled. If it is, then then it dies, causing
the configure script to stop.
And please never send compressed patches, especially not when the
patch is 2 kb in size. :)
No problem, I will try to remember in the future. Some mailing lists
prefer compressing patches because of the mangling that some mail list
archiving software does to text attachments. I have trouble keeping
track of which list prefers which format.
