For example: MACHINE_ARCH=m68k MACHINE=mvme68k or in FreeBSD: MACHINE_ARCH=i386 MACHINE=pc98 MACHINE_ARCH=i386 MACHINE=i386 MACHINE_ARCH=alpha MACHINE=alpha Note that non-i386 versions of `make' have MACHINE_ARCH in-built. For i386, MACHINE_ARCH isn't actually defined in `make'. -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
