[Devel] Confused configure system type 'host' setting

[CYLiang]

Hi,

           I used the command “configure” to create *.mk files as below ( wish to compile in Red-Hat Linux for arm target platform):

./configure –target=arm-elf –host=arm-elf –build= i686-pc-linux-gnu –prefix=/home/user/local CFLAGS=”-I/usr/local/arm_tools/arm-elf/inc”

 

If I changed the above setting “–host=arm-elf” as “–host= i686-pc-linux-gnu”, the created unix-cc.mk contains wrong statement as “CC :=gcc”. ( correct: CC := arm-elf-gcc). But in cross compile concept, “host” is the compiler environment system type, “target” is the deploy platform system type, so I felt some confusion.

 

Please give me some comment.

 

 

Best regards,

（Chris Liang）
