Here is report by a GMP-ECM user that uses MPIR about a strange effect when trying to compile on mingw64 without giving it a CPU hint. Not sure if this is a mingw thing or something that can be fixed in the config script.
The original post: http://www.mersenneforum.org/showpost.php?p=264649&postcount=253 Summary: "I use: ./configure --build=penryn-w64-mingw32 --host=penryn-w64-mingw32 --enable-gmpcompat it doesn't work for me without --enable-gmpcompat. ./config.guess in MPIR always gives the best cpu it seems, but I noticed if I didn't use --build and --host it uses i686-pc-mingw32 further down: $ ./config.guess penryn-w64-mingw32 $ ./configure --enable-gmpcompat checking build system type... penryn-w64-mingw32 checking host system type... penryn-w64-mingw32 checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes . . checking for msgmerge... no checking build system type... i686-pc-mingw32 checking host system type... i686-pc-mingw32 checking for ld used by GCC... c:/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe checking if the linker (c:/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe) is GNU ld... yes" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mpir-devel" group.
