1 --no-info 2 3 [name] 4 config.guess \- guess the build system triplet 5 6 [Environment variables] 7 config.guess might need to compile and run C code, hence it needs a 8 compiler for the `build' machine: use the environment variable 9 `CC_FOR_BUILD' to specify the compiler for the build machine. If 10 `CC_FOR_BUILD' is not specified, `CC' will be used. Be sure to 11 specify `CC_FOR_BUILD' is `CC' is a cross-compiler to the `host' 12 machine. 13 14 CC_FOR_BUILD a native C compiler, defaults to `cc' 15 CC a native C compiler, the previous variable is preferred 16 17 [description] 18 The GNU build system distinguishes three types of machines, the 19 `build' machine on which the compilers are run, the `host' machine 20 on which the package being built will run, and, exclusively when you 21 build a compiler, assembler etc., the `target' machine, for which the 22 compiler being built will produce code. 23 24 This script will guess the type of the `build' machine. 25
