[Qemu-devel] ./configure --help and gcc checks

[Sylvain Petreolle]

Hi people,
I have gcc 3.2.3 (run as gcc32) and gcc 4.1.0.

./configure --help runs the gcc check, thus displaying the following error :
ERROR: "gcc" looks like gcc 4.x

IMHO this should be changed to avoid running things like this :
./configure --cc=gcc32 --help

Do agree with that ?

Kind regards,

having configure check for gcc3, gcc31, gcc32, gcc33, gcc34, etc before checking
for gcc itself might work.

is it really worth the trouble to check every possible combination?

How about doing:

CC=gcc32 ./configure

why would you need to check gcc's version just for displaying help ??
in fact a bunch of /bin/echo commands...

Not for help. I meant auto-detection, so that if u have gcc 4.0 and
gcc 3.0 the script will pick the right version.

I see what you mean now :)

It would enough to just move the gcc check in the configure script to
after the help processing.
