• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2004-10-15 06:53:42 UTC]

With CHOST="i386-pc-linux-uclibc", iftop compilation fails :

-------------------------iftop---------------------------
./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i386-pc-linux-uclibc
--mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share
--sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --prefix=/usr
configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host.
    If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be used.
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... Invalid configuration
`i386-pc-linux-uclibc': machine `i386-pc-linux' not recognized
configure: error: /bin/sh config/config.sub i386-pc-linux-uclibc failed

Created attachment 41866 [details]
New ebuild

The solution is to use gnuconfig_update to update the config.sub and .guess
files.
