1.7.2 Scripts

Variable: CONFIG_GUESS_SCRIPT

CONFIG_GUESS_SCRIPT is the absolute path to the config.guess script within the Makefile Package; this script is used to determine host and target platform information. The Makefile Package executes this script to determine the values of the host platform variables: GNUSTEP_HOST, GNUSTEP_HOST_CPU, GNUSTEP_HOST_VENDOR, GNUSTEP_HOST_OS, and the target platform variables: GNUSTEP_TARGET, GNUSTEP_TARGET_CPU, GNUSTEP_TARGET_VENDOR, GNUSTEP_TARGET_OS; generally the user does not need to execute this script because the Makefile Package executes it automatically.

Variable: CONFIG_SUB_SCRIPT

CONFIG_SUB_SCRIPT is the absolute path to the config.sub script within the Makefile Package; this script takes a platform name and canonicalizes it, i.e. it puts the name in a standard form. The Makefile Package uses this script when the user specifies a target platform for compilation; the target platform name is canonicalized so that the Makefile Package can properly parse the name into its different components. Generally the user does not execute this script.

Variable: CONFIG_CPU_SCRIPT

CONFIG_CPU_SCRIPT is the absolute path to the cpu.sh script within the Makefile Package; this script extracts the CPU name from a canonicalized platform name. Generally the user does not execute this script; it is used internally by the Makefile Package.

Variable: CONFIG_VENDOR_SCRIPT

CONFIG_VENDOR_SCRIPT is the absolute path to the vendor.sh script within the Makefile Package; this script extracts the vendor name from a canonicalized platform name. Generally the user does not execute this script; it is used internally by the Makefile Package.

Variable: CONFIG_OS_SCRIPT

CONFIG_OS_SCRIPT is the absolute path to the os.sh script within the Makefile Package; this script extracts the operating system name from a canonicalized platform name. Generally the user does not execute this script; it is used internally by the Makefile Package.

Variable: CLEAN_CPU_SCRIPT

CLEAN_CPU_SCRIPT is the absolute path to the clean_cpu.sh script within the Makefile Package; this script takes a platform CPU name and cleans it for use by the Makefile Package. The process of cleaning refers to the situation where numerous equivalent processors, which have different names, are mapped to a single name. For example, the Intel line of processors: i386, i486, Pentium, all have different CPU names, but the Makefile Package considers them equivalent and cleans those names so that the single name ix86 is used. Generally the user does not execute this script; it is used internally by the Makefile Package.

Variable: CLEAN_VENDOR_SCRIPT

CLEAN_VENDOR_SCRIPT is the absolute path to the clean_vendor.sh script within the Makefile Package; this script takes a platform vendor name and cleans it for use by the Makefile Package. The process of cleaning refers to the situation where numerous equivalent vendors, which have different names, are mapped to a single name. Generally the user does not execute this script; it is used internally by the Makefile Package.

Variable: CLEAN_OS_SCRIPT

CLEAN_OS_SCRIPT is the absolute path to the clean_os.sh script within the Makefile Package; this script takes a platform operating system name and cleans it for use by the Makefile Package. The process of cleaning refers to the situation where numerous equivalent operating systems, which have different names, are mapped to a single name. Generally the user does not execute this script; it is used internally by the Makefile Package.
