The full naming scheme for hosts encodes three pieces of information in the following pattern:
architecture-vendor-os
For example, the full name for a Sun SPARCstation running SunOS 4.1.3 is
sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3
Remember that you can type configure
without specifying a
hosttype and your host will be divined by configure
(see section config.guess
). In fact, we recommend this
procedure on most systems.
Warning:
configure
can represent a very large number of combinations of architecture, vendor, and operating system. There is by no means support for all possible combinations!
The following combinations refer to hosts supported by Cygnus Support. Some common short aliases are included, but these may be obsolete in the future. (For a matrix which shows all supported host/target combinations, see section `Overview' in Release Notes.)
