Folks,
We figured we'd upgrade some older SW. So we grabbed GNU Make, and
tried the simple configure line we'd always used and got the weirest
error:
./configure --target=alpha-dec-osf1
gave:
[...]
checking for strsignal... no
checking for sys_siglist... no
checking for _sys_siglist... no
checking for working alloca.h... no
checking for alloca... no
checking whether alloca needs Cray hooks... no
checking stack direction for C alloca... 0
checking for vfork.h... no
checking for working vfork... no
checking whether setvbuf arguments are reversed... configure: error: can not run test program while cross compiling
Well, since we are not cross-compiling, has anyone else ever seen this
error? Is there a way to tell the configure to specifically look
at ALPHA-DEC-OSF headers and ignore ALL ELSE!!
Many thanks in advance!
