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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
