Re: [Mingw-cross-env-list] Specifying --build (was: make curl fails)

Hello Tony,

Thanks for your work regarding the config.guess issue.
However, I think there's something strange in the current
dev version:

This changeset introduces the creation of config.site:

    [...]
    echo "ac_cv_build=`$(1)/config.guess`" > 
'$(PREFIX)/$(TARGET)/share/config.site'

It was meant to replace the direct calls to config.guess:

    ./configure \
        --build="`config.guess`" \
        [...]

However, according to Mark the config.site script isn't really
used. So I guess the config.site file should be removed, shouldn't
it? Or are you still looking for a way to remove the "--build" lines?


Greets,
Volker
