RE: [ECOS] Host Tools Build Problem - Fedora 8

[Jay Foster <jay at systech dot com>]

Yes, but there seems to be some 'sub-configures' that aren't getting the
--host= argument passed to them, and do the guess host thing, which guesses
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu again, which fails.

I'm also concerned that even if I could get past this, it would fail finding
TCL and TK, since there doesn't seem to be a tclConfig.sh or tkConfig.sh
file anywhere on the installation.  Yes, I did install TCL and TK (version
8.4).

I'd be a little surprised if someone had :-)

Did you try forcing the host to be just x86-linux-gnu?  The
process will probably work just as well with that setting.
