I'm tempted to say that if you don't have the machines, you don't need to know! From a practical viewpoint, anybody can try cross-compiling for architectures they don't have, and sometimes find problems, but without the hardware you can't prove that it will work. :) > In Cross-LFS book there are various architectures supported, and I need > to know what's exactly the input of the "uname -m" for each arch. > > Well, for x86 is "i.86" and for x86-64 is "x86_64" (the only machines I > have), but for the others: On a point of order, I don't think an unpatched uname will return i.86 although clearly you can use i.86 in a regex to match it. > examples: > passing "uname -m" on a powerpc what's the output and does it differ for > 32 and 64, for mips the same, for alpha I think that the output should > be "alpha" and for arm it should be "arm". > For powerpc, 'ppc' for 32-bit, 'ppc64' for 64-bit. If you are going to process this in the shell, some of the :Linux values in /usr/share/automake-1.9/config.guess might prove helpful. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce _______________________________________________ Clfs-support mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cross-lfs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clfs-support
