Rare OS's in config.guess

2007-07-17 Thread Gary Kumfert 


Hi,

How does one get new build system triplets cannonized
into config.guess?  Its not clear to me which of the
autotools tools (autoconf, automake, or libtool) owns this.

I ask because supercomputers my software goes onto are
are increasingly cross-compiled systems.  They have a
linux-based head nodes but compute nodes run
a lean-as-you-can-get OS (think stripped
down program loader).  There's no UNIX shell on these
compute nodes, so we're trying to figure out the "right"
way to get './configure --target=HW-VENDOR-OS' into
the autotools system (assuming its not in a pre-release
already.)

For example, the Cray XT3's & XT4's are coming up
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
and should be
x86_64-cray-linux-gnu
for head nodes and I can imagine something like
./configure --target=x85_64-cray-catamount-3.0
for compute nodes.

Similar for IBM's BlueGene,
powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu
should be something like
powerpc64-ibm-linux-gnu
for compute nodes and
powerpc64-ibm-bgl_cnk   (BlueGene/L Compute Node Kernel)
for compute nodes.

Help?

Gary

Hi Gary,

The config project owns config.guess. See 
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config for more information.

the header of the file should already contain the mailing list for contact ... 
wonder if we should add the project URL as well ...
