host guess damaged in CVS?

host guess damaged in CVS?

[Jeroen Ruigrok/asmodai]

I am trying the latest CVS sources on my HP AlphaServer ES40 with 5.1a
of Tru64 and I am getting this:

loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type;
you must specify one

Did this unintentionally get damaged or am I being dense after a hard
day's work? :)

Not intentionally.  What exactly fails?  src/config.guess (which can be 
run standalone)?

Yes, that fails.

It calls config.guess from configure.  I even did a chmod o+x on the
entire src/* dir due to a ftp problem (long story).

I'll test some more tomorrow.

All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusions is called a
philosopher.

You can do:

$ sh GDB/src/config.guess
i686-pc-linux-gnu

so it sounds like, for you, it isn't returning valid output.  If that's 
the problem then the place to report this is:

http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config

once the master config.guess has been fixed the local version can be 
updated.

Funny:

bentss@benremedy04 (/usr/users/bentss/asmodai/src-test) # ls -asl config*
 41 -rwxr-xr-x   1 bentss   bentss     41025 Feb 19 09:42 config.guess
136 -rwxr-xr-x   1 bentss   bentss    136859 Feb 19 09:42 configure

bentss@benremedy04 (/usr/users/bentss/asmodai/src-test) # ./configure --prefix=/usr/users/bentss/asmodai --disable-nls
loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type; you must specify one

bentss@benremedy04 (/usr/users/bentss/asmodai/src-test) # ./config.guess
alphaev67-dec-osf5.1

autoconf issue perhaps then?

Anything becomes possible, after you find the courage to admit that
nothing is certain.

Well, there goes that theory :-(

Yes, or SH bug.

Using current sources, can you isolate this down to a single 
subdirectory and then use `sh -x' on it?

Hmm, can you also try configuring in a separate directory vis:

cd /tmp
/path/to/configure ....

it might be that.

FYI, I tried on our machine, and we don't have any problem:

% ~/act/gdb-public/configure
creating cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... alphaev67-dec-osf5.1
checking target system type... alphaev67-dec-osf5.1
checking build system type... alphaev67-dec-osf5.1
checking for alphaev67-dec-osf5.1-ar... no
checking for ar... ar
[...]

Can you try the following?

% /bin/sh -x configure

Apologies for crying wolf, must've been some sort of corruption in
between my box and the box I am compiling on.  Everything detected as it
should.
