Re: [Tinycc-devel] Help with tests... (osx build but please read anyway)

Milutin -

I had some trouble compiling your code on Lion. Here is what I did, starting from scratch:

# Clone and get into the source directory:
git clone git://repo.or.cz/tinycc.git
cd tinycc
# Check out the latest mob and create a named local branch:
git checkout origin/mob
git checkout -b mob
# Try to compile:
./configure
make

For make I get this output:
gcc -o tcc.o -c tcc.c -DTCC_TARGET_I386 -DWITHOUT_LIBTCC -Wall -g -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-pointer-sign -Wno-sign-compare -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0 -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i386 -falign-functions=0
tcc.c:1: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set
tcc.c:1: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set
tcc.c:1: error: -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 is not between 4 and 12
make: *** [tcc.o] Error 1

The errors make some sense to me, but I have no idea why the flags are set the way they are set. I just left it up to ./configure to figure out.

Any suggestions? Would any particular diagnostic output be helpful?
