How do I process the configure file when cross-compiling with mingw?
- by vy32
I have a small open source program that builds with an autoconf configure script.
I ran configure I tried to compile with:
make CC="/opt/local/bin/i386-mingw32-g++"
That didn't work because the configure script found include files that were not available to the mingw system.
So then I tried:
./configure CC="/opt/local/bin/i386-mingw32-g++"
But that didn't work; the configure script gives me this error:
./configure: line 5209: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
./configure: line 5209: ` *_cv_*'
Because of this code:
# The following way of writing the cache mishandles newlines in values,
# but we know of no workaround that is simple, portable, and efficient.
# So, we kill variables containing newlines.
# Ultrix sh set writes to stderr and can't be redirected directly,
# and sets the high bit in the cache file unless we assign to the vars.
(
for ac_var in `(set) 2>&1 | sed -n 's/^\(a-zA-Z_a-zA-Z0-9_*\)=.*/\1/p'`; do
eval ac_val=\$$ac_var
case $ac_val in #(
*${as_nl}*)
case $ac_var in #(
*_cv_*
fi
Which is generated then the AC_OUTPUT is called.
Any thoughts? Is there a correct way to do this?
