Description Chris Slycord 2007-07-26 18:36:18 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #186635 +++

During the compile phase for deltup (version 0.4.3), g++ is invoked instead of a CHOST-specific command (like i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++). This could cause troubles if trying to do, say, a cross-compile and the system cc gets called (since normally it would use the CHOST for the cross compiler).

Note: the compiler name, g++, is hardcoded in the Makefile

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install deltup
2. Look at output during compile phase
3.

Actual Results:  
g++ is invoked

Expected Results:  
A CHOST-specific compiler name to be invoked

instead of filing more bugs could you please try to build some patches to fix the issues. Should be rather easy to do so :)

It feels like a kludge to put CC=$(tc-getCXX) but this is to override the fact that the Makefile implicitly has CC = g++.

jep you might want to do the makefile modification and send that upstream too, thanks. I have committed your patch for now.

I'd love to. But upstream is dead (the upstream website doesn't even resolve).
