CONFIG.GUESS(1)                                 User Commands                                CONFIG.GUESS(1)



NAME
       config.guess - guess the build system triplet

SYNOPSIS
       config.guess [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION
       The  GNU build system distinguishes three types of machines, the `build' machine on which the compil-ers compilers
       ers are run, the `host' machine on which the package being built will run, and, exclusively when  you
       build  a compiler, assembler etc., the `target' machine, for which the compiler being built will pro-duce produce
       duce code.

       This script will guess the type of the `build' machine.

       Output the configuration name of the system `config.guess' is run on.

   Operation modes:
       -h, --help
              print this help, then exit

       -t, --time-stamp
              print date of last modification, then exit

       -v, --version
              print version number, then exit

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       config.guess might need to compile and run C code, hence it needs a compiler for the `build' machine:
       use  the  environment  variable  `CC_FOR_BUILD'  to  specify  the compiler for the build machine.  If
       `CC_FOR_BUILD' is not specified, `CC' will be used.  Be sure to specify `CC_FOR_BUILD' is `CC'  is  a
       cross-compiler to the `host' machine.

         CC_FOR_BUILD    a native C compiler, defaults to `cc'
         CC              a native C compiler, the previous variable is preferred
