Well just after the part you quoted from me, I thought I made it clear
that the output of config.guess is used as an argument for config.sub
So you just need both. At least as long as autoconf doestn't get
changed.
Exactly. I originally said that config.guess was required by configure
even though the output not used. As you pointed out to me, config.sub
output is used.
This all goes back to the overall build process. I've been thinking
about it a lot, but I'm not ready to offer any suggestions yet.
What is exactly the problem?
Using automake without Makefile.am is non-standard and not provided for
within automake. The only thing we use automake for is to copy
config.{guess,sub} to the root of the root of the source.
Also, building as one large monolithic Makefile with includes built via
scripts is probably not optimal from a comprehension point of view.
Our use of config.{guess,sub} is pretty standard,
at least as far as invoking the scripts is concerned.
Yes, as we discussed, they are used in configure.
