Re: [Crash-utility] PPC64 compiler question

----- Original Message ----- Actually the crash-6.0.3 Makefile change that set "ifeq (${TARGET}, PPC64)" is the problem at hand. The very first time that "make" is run on a virgin crash source tree the "TARGET" is not known/set. So on a RHEL5 system, configure.c is compiled as a 32-bit binary, and therefore thinks it's 32-bit host. The Makefile needs to be restored to the way it used to work -- by checking "ifeq (${ARCH}, ppc64)" -- where ARCH gets set in the Makefile just above it based upon a "uname -m" shell call. When I originally tested the crash-6.0.3 patches that were posted, I used a RHEL6 ppc64 host, where it worked by luck. For cross-compile, if the user enters "make target=PPC", then the configure program will override the host ARCH. And upon subsequent builds, it will override the host ARCH by checking the "gdb-7.3.1/crash.target" file that was created by the first build. That way, the target is "sticky" so that you don't have to keep entering "make target=PPC" after it has been done the first time. Dave
