I'm afraid that the post, as written, appeared to be off-topic.] Background: I'm trying to build the GNU tools on my W2K machine and configure them so that I can do some embedded development for an ARM target. I'm building the GNU toolchain from within the Cygwin 1.3.11-3 environment. My installation of Cygwin is basically the default configuration. I am following a procedure as set out here http://billgatliff.com/articles/gnu/gnu-arm7t.html/index.html I'm getting an error when I attempt to configure and install the assembler and linker that are part of GNU's binutils package. The command issued is: $ ../binutils-2.11.2/configure --target=$TARGET --prefix=$PREFIX and the error: "Can only configure for one host and one target at a time." I've set the value of TARGET (arm-elf) and PREFIX (my install dir), and I assume that configure would normally be able to sort out the host. (Other followers of this procedure have had no problems on their UNIX machines.) So, it appears to me that somehow Cygwin is not behaving like a perfect emulation of UNIX (not that it can). Does anyone know what the issue is here? Should I be posting to a GNU list? Motivus __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Sign up for SBC Yahoo!
