13.4.6 config.guess
, config.sub
at top level
You need to add the GNU config.guess
and config.sub
files
to your distribution. They are needed because the AM_ICONV
macro
contains knowledge about specific platforms and therefore needs to
identify the platform.
You can obtain the newest version of config.guess
and
config.sub
from the ‘config
’ project at
https://savannah.gnu.org/
. The commands to fetch them are
$ wget -O config.guess 'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD' $ wget -O config.sub 'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.sub;hb=HEAD'
Less recent versions are also contained in the GNU automake
and
GNU libtool
packages.
Normally, config.guess
and config.sub
are put at the
top level of a distribution. But it is also possible to put them in a
subdirectory, altogether with other configuration support files like
install-sh
, ltconfig
, ltmain.sh
or missing
.
All you need to do, other than moving the files, is to add the following line
to your configure.ac
.
AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([subdir])
