I am building the individual packages from source and am running into errors. The
source is that from running setup.exe.
I am trying to cross-compile the packages from linux to cygwin.
When configure is run, (in gettext lets say), I get the following error:
***************
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for working aclocal... found
checking for working autoconf... found
checking for working automake... found
checking for working autoheader... found
checking for working makeinfo... found
checking host system type... Invalid configuration `i686-pc-cygwin': system `cygwin'
not recognized
<snip>
***************
A quick check in the config.sub reveals this
<snip>
# Decode manufacturer-specific aliases for certain operating systems.
if x"$os" != x""
then
case $os in
<snip>
| -cygwin32* | -pe* | -psos* | -moss* | -proelf* | -rtems* \
<snip>
Looking at a different config.sub (say binutils), the same line says
| -cygwin* | -pe* | -psos* | -moss* | -proelf* | -rtems* \
I've read through many mail archive posts, and it seems to me (I may be wrong) that
cygwin32 is not generally used for a nsme for the OS anymore; just cygwin should be
sufficent. That would make the -cygwin* seem more correct, since it takes care of both
cases, with or without the 32. If I am missing some important point, kindly let me
know, for I am new to all of this.
The following list are the packages that have the -cgywin32* to anyone it might be of
interest:
./cygwin_src/gdb/readline/support/config.sub
./cygwin_src/gdbm-1.8.0-3/config.sub
./cygwin_src/gettext-0_10_35-2pl/config.sub
./cygwin_src/inetutils-1.3.2-14/config.sub
./cygwin_src/jpeg-6b-4/config.sub
./cygwin_src/readline-4.1-2/support/config.sub
./cygwin_src/squid-2.4-STABLE20010508/cfgaux/config.sub
./cygwin_src/wget-1.6-1/config.sub
