NAME
config.guess - guess the build system triplet
SYNOPSIS
config.guess [OPTION]
DESCRIPTION
The GNU build system distinguishes three types
of machines, the `build' machine on which the compilers are run,
the `host' machine on which the package being built will run, and,
exclusively when you build a compiler, assembler etc., the `target'
machine, for which the compiler being built will produce code.
This script will guess the type of the `build' machine.
Output the configuration name of the system `config.guess' is
run on.
Operation modes:
- -h, --help
- print this help, then exit
- -t, --time-stamp
- print date of last modification, then exit
- -v, --version
- print version number, then exit
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
config.guess might need to compile
and run C code, hence it needs a compiler for the `build' machine:
use the environment variable `CC_FOR_BUILD' to specify the compiler
for the build machine. If `CC_FOR_BUILD' is not specified, `CC'
will be used. Be sure to specify `CC_FOR_BUILD' is `CC' is a
cross-compiler to the `host' machine.
CC_FOR_BUILD a native C compiler, defaults to `cc'
CC a native C compiler, the previous variable is preferred
