libide: Replace amd64 with x86_64 when constructing host system type (1.72 KB, patch)
2016-01-09 10:09 UTC, Ting-Wei Lan 		committed Details | Review

Description Ting-Wei Lan 2016-01-08 20:05:16 UTC 
This can be reproduced with a simple configure.ac and a empty Makefile.am:
AC_INIT([testpkg], [1.23])
AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([configure.ac])
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign])
AC_CANONICAL_HOST
AC_CANONICAL_BUILD
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])
AC_OUTPUT

$ ./configure --host=x86_64-freebsd
[OK]

$ ./configure --host=x86_64-unknown-freebsd
[OK]

$ ./configure --host=amd64-freebsd
Invalid configuration `amd64-freebsd': machine `amd64' not recognized

$ ./configure --host=amd64-unknown-freebsd
[OK]


Should we replace 'amd64' with 'x86_64', or add '-pc' or '-unknown'?

Hrmm, you probably know vastly more about compiling autotools projects on FreeBSD, so I'm willing to take suggestions.

However, my inclination is to translate amd64 to x86_64.

FreeBSD uname returns amd64 instead of x86_64, which is not accepted
by autoconf config.sub without specifying the vendor.
