Description Bertrand Jacquin 2011-07-03 00:48:27 UTC
configure.ac use AC_RUN_IFELSE to determine if the system is Solaris,
BSDi .. but AC_RUN_IFELSE always fail when cross-compiling cause code is
building to TARGET and so can't be executed on BUILD host. And we can't
set a default value if this is a cross compiling build.

So here is a patch to make possible to cache if system is Solaris & so
on and assume that the system is not if cross-compiling, but let users
define ac_cv_os_solaris=yes if they want to.

the cross-compile fallback case should look at $host_os to guess a good value

the rest of the patch looks pretty good and should go upstream

You made a point but I don't known those os $host_os :/ Do you have some kind of list ? This could make to configure really more simple

patch have been reported upstream to main developer as mailing list seems to be down

  Fix cross-compiling by Bertrand Jacquin (bug #374085). Set RDEPEND. Show

So that was a different cross-compile bug? Any progress on this one?

I couldn't have been more precise. You filed bug #374085 after this one, but this bug is not fixed yet while that one is.
