NAME
config.guess - guess the build system triplet
SYNOPSIS
config.guess [OPTION]
DESCRIPTION
The GNU build system distinguishes three types of machines, the build machine on which the compilers are run, the host machine on which the package being built will run, and, exclusively when you build a compiler, assembler etc., the target machine, for which the compiler being built will produce code.
This script will guess the type of the build machine.
Output the configuration name of the system config.guess is run on.
Operation modes:
-h, --help | print this help, then exit |
-t, --time-stamp | |
print date of last modification, then exit | |
-v, --version | |
print version number, then exit | |
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
config.guess might need to compile and run C code, hence it needs a compiler for the build machine: use the environment variable CC_FOR_BUILD to specify the compiler for the build machine. If CC_FOR_BUILD is not specified, CC will be used. Be sure to specify CC_FOR_BUILD is CC is a cross-compiler to the host machine.
CC_FOR_BUILD a native C compiler, defaults to cc CC a native C compiler, the previous variable is preferred
