The iOS toolchain does not use the host prefix naming convention. We add a
new option `--enable-cross-compile` that forces cross-compile even without
a cross_prefix.

I mean, still introduce the "cross_compile=yes" variable, just omit the new options. Thomas

That seems less intuitive for people trying to find this option. If --help lists --enable-cross-compile I can guess what that means but there's no way I could guess --cros-prefix="" unless I've been told or searched and stumbled upon it. So unless it's a big problem I like the explicit options better. Or is that a convention in other projects to use empty prefix to enable cross compile that I don't know about? Regards, BALATON Zoltan
Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't the following test still fail with --cross-prefix="" if test -n "$cross_prefix"; then ... That was my main reason for making this change. -j On Mon, Oct 19, 2020 at 4:24 AM BALATON Zoltan <balaton@eik.bme.hu> wrote: > > On Mon, 19 Oct 2020, Thomas Huth wrote: > > On 19/10/2020 10.07, Thomas Huth wrote: > >> On 19/10/2020 03.39, Joelle van Dyne wrote: > >>> From: osy <osy86@users.noreply.github.com> > >>> > >>> The iOS toolchain does not use the host prefix naming convention.

I don't think that --cross-prefix is a "standard" option... Most other (GNU-tools related) projects use "--build" and "--host" instead... so I guess we're free to chose here. Let's see whether other people here have an opionion on this... Thomas

Yeah, the way GNU tools do it is that you specify --build and --host, and --host triggers cross compilation. I'm not sure how they'd handle the situation where the cross prefix is empty. For QEMU, I agree with Thomas that --cross-prefix="" is enough. Paolo
As the patch stands --cross-prefix="" works but I like having the --enable-cross-compile option because it's more clear of the intention (in logs and such). I've been struggling to come up with a concise modification to the help text for --cross-prefix that explains that empty PREFIX is allowed and why you would want to do that. -j On Tue, Oct 20, 2020 at 1:35 AM Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> wrote: > > On 20/10/20 07:15, Thomas Huth wrote: > >>>>>> + ;; > >>>>>> + --enable-cross-compile) cross_compile="yes" > >>>>>> + ;; > >>>>>> + --disable-cross-compile) cross_compile="no" > >>>>> > >>>>> Can't you simply use --cros-prefix="" instead? > >>>> > >>>> I mean, still introduce the "cross_compile=yes" variable, just omit the new > >>>> options. > >>> > >>> That seems less intuitive for people trying to find this option.

--cross-prefix=PREFIX enable cross compilation, using PREFIX
in front of compile tools
Paolo
Just to be clear, you're in favor of removing the --enable-cross-compile option? I can do that if others agree but I'm not sure what the downside of adding this extra option is? -j On Mon, Oct 26, 2020 at 12:54 AM Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> wrote: > > On 25/10/20 20:24, Joelle van Dyne wrote: > > As the patch stands --cross-prefix="" works but I like having the > > --enable-cross-compile option because it's more clear of the intention > > (in logs and such).

I agree with Paolo ... two options sound rather confusing to me than just having one option. And the amount of options of the configure script is too big already anyway, so I'd recommend to drop --enable-cross-compile. Thomas
