Caution: MSYSTEM=MINGW64 will be used for identifying i86_64-pc-mingw64 in config.guess; I submitted a patch for it to the maintainers of config.guess and config.sub last year. MSYSTEM=MINGW-W64 is what this should be set to for that project! > Also, if MSYSTEM is user-changeable (it is), then patching > config.guess to rely on MSYSTEM is not a good decision. config.guess > should not rely on random user-defined strings to detect the system > triplet. Correct!! The correct thing would be to correct config.guess based on the uname -s value. Be more specific. But also be sure you have the most current config.guess from the repository and not one from some package. Currently config.guess is looking at mingw* to identify the system. Clearly a mingw-w64 needs some attention and care in config.guess and config.sub. -- Earnie -- https://sites.google.com/site/earnieboyd ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Own the Future-Intel(R) Level Up Game Demo Contest 2013 Rise to greatness in Intel's independent game demo contest.
