config.guess
config.guess
is a shell script which attempts to deduce the host
type from which it is called, using system commands like uname
if
they are available. config.guess
is remarkably adept at
deciphering the proper configuration for your host; if you are building
a tree to run on the same host on which you're building it, we recommend
not specifying the hosttype argument.
config.guess
is called by configure
; you need never run it
by hand, unless you're curious about the output.
