| > My opinion is that AC_PROG_CC_WIN32 should contain an AC_REQUIRE of | > AC_CANONICAL_HOST, and should ensure the case $host itself. | | Why? To make it easier to read and write where it is used. | There is no side effect if it is tested for on platforms other than | cygwin. Nor in my proposal. I'm just saying the AC_CANONICAL_HOST and case should get into it, nothing more. | And by being a little bit more generic less changes will be | needed to work with (say) WINE. Or on a cross-compile chain. We are probably misunderstanding each other. I don't understand what you mean here. | And the developer writing the configure test will still need to decide | what to do if it fails && they are compiling on cygwin, so they still | need a case statement. It was not clear to me that ac_cc_win32 was the main point, I understood that setting CC was the main point. So if that's the case, then I have further comments to make. Don't use the ac_cc name space at all when interacting with the user. Use some upper case thing such as CC_MWIN32. I have no idea about it, but I guess the C++ compiler will also want something similar?
