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 l l wrote:
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 address@hidden" The configuration is Really useful to me!
