If not, then... If yes, then proceed as follows. Do +something like ``PATH=$PATH:/where/the/viengoos/build/is/bin'' to make sure +that `i686-pc-viengoos-gnu-gcc' can be found via `$PATH'. As the master GNU +system-guessing scripts don't know about Viengoos (yet), you have to link the +package's `config.guess' and `config.sub' to the Viengoos ones. That's what +`fix_config_guess_and_sub' (see `Makefoo.am') does, used in +`newlib/Makefile.am', for example. After that, configuring the to-be-built +package with ``--host=i686-pc-viengoos-gnu'' is all that *should* be needed, +for a portable package. Otherwise you'll see things explode. + + Installation on ia32 -------------------- |
