Subject: configure host and target
Date: Fri, 26 May 2006 21:04:55 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200605262104.55720.okuji@enbug.org> (raw)
According to a suggestion by an autoconf developer, I think we should change
the build system in this way:
- Use "host" to represent an environment in which utilities (tools) run. This
is a natural interpretation of the meaning of "host" in autoconf.
- Use "target" to represent a native environment in which the grub kernel and
modules run. This is not very natural, but a bit easier to understand.
- Use CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, etc. for the "host". This is more intuitive.
- Use TARGET_CPPFLAGS, TARGET_CFLAGS, etc. for the "target". Usually, the user
does not need to tweak these flags manually, so they are not necessary to be
very intuitive.
If there is no objection, I will work on this issue very soon.
