Re: [gentoo-osx] Configure issues continued....

[Michael Haubenwallner]

Hi,

I'm subscribed to gentoo-osx, appreciating all this 'spam' ;)

Matt, as Ralf said, the interesting part is config.log.
What else could be done is to add 'set -xv' in the 2nd line, or before
the critical part of configure script, and you will get huge debug
output from configure itself to stderr, which may also be very
interesting.

Well, did you run the toolsbox's environment scripts before ?

Or, if you have installed gcc already through portage,
did you run gcc-config, and sourced $prefix/etc/profile ?

PS: Will be back to prefix-development soon (hopefully)...
