Bug 61179 – lcms: the configure script doesn't recognise the compiler in a uclibc env

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Christian Zoffoli (RETIRED) 2004-08-21 10:59:53 UTC]

I can't compile lcms in a uclibc env, the configure script doesn't recognise i386-pc-linux-uclibc compiler.

here is the error:
----
>>> Source unpacked.
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.sub i386-pc-linux-uclibc failed

vs. patching config.sub/.guess (unwritten policy we try to avoid) try a simple 

'inherit gnuconfig' and in the src_unpack() function add 'gnuconfig_update'
