Daniel, you can have configure use i686-pc-mingw32 or any other host triplet by specifying it in your environment rather than on the command line. Then config.guess doesn't have to guess. export ac_cv_host=i686-pc-mingw32 ./configure The same is true for build as well. If host == build then it is considered native else it is considered a cross compile. -- Earnie -- https://sites.google.com/site/earnieboyd _______________________________________________ config-patches mailing list config-patches@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/config-patches
