Have a look into the sources of zlib. You will find a usage example of $CHOST in ./configure. zlib is an interesting case, anyway. The default case of the unpatched sources builds on Cygwin, but if you set the $CHOST correctly it runs into a special CYGWIN case. It forgets to set $LDSHARED and the Makefile breaks. Hence, you find a big patch for Cygwin. Al --=20 Caution crosser: =A0Runnig Gentoo/Prefix on Cygwin/Vista. All stupid questions are related to that context. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
