Date: Tue, 15 Jul 1997 10:58:01 +0200 (METDST) From: Robert Hoehne To: DJGPP workers Subject: Canonical systemname for DJGPP Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Precedence: bulk During my port for binutils 2.8.1 I made a patch to config.guess which evaluates now when running under DJGPP to the canonical name i386-pc-msdosdjgpp. Richard Stallmann wrote me today that he applied the patch. That means, that anyone who will make in the future any ports of the GNU packages should use (and eventually modify some configuration scripts) to use that name so that we can come to a common base. For instance until now there was (and is) a difference between binutils and gcc because they they use different target names for DJGPP so making a cross development system was not so easy. Here is the patch which I have made: --- binutils-2.8.1/config.guess~ Wed Apr 30 18:57:44 1997 +++ binutils-2.8.1/config.guess Tue Jul 8 16:11:54 1997 @@ -514,6 +514,14 @@ echo ${UNAME_MACHINE}-pc-sysv32 fi exit 0 ;; +# uname -m prints for DJGPP always 'pc', but it prints nothing about +# the processor, I do it safe by assuming i386 (and not i[45..]86) +# I echo here now i386-pc-msdosdjgpp, because I think, this should be +# the right string for DJGPP, and NOT i386-*-go32 which was former +# used + pc:*:*:*) + echo i386-pc-msdosdjgpp + exit 0 ;; Intel:Mach:3*:*) echo i386-pc-mach3 exit 0 ;; ***************************************************************** * Robert Hoehne, Fakultaet fuer Mathematik, TU-Chemnitz-Zwickau * * Post: Am Berg 3, D-09573 Dittmannsdorf * * e-Mail: Robert DOT Hoehne AT Mathematik DOT TU-Chemnitz DOT DE * * WWW: http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~rho * *****************************************************************
