Hello,
while cross-building a package I noticed a warning emitted by configure:
...
checking for arm-v7a-linux-gnueabihf-file... no
checking for file... file
configure: WARNING: using cross tools not prefixed with host triplet
This was added in commit da2e35273572 ("libtool: replace some references
to /usr/bin/file and /bin/sh") by using AC_CHECK_TOOL to find the file
program (included in libtool 2.4.7).
I wonder if using AC_CHECK_PROG would be more appropriate here. Or is it
really expected that file is installed as a cross tool using a host
triplet prefix? The commit log doesn't mention anything in that
direction (and before that commit "/usr/bin/file" was used).
I'm not familiar with libtool development, so didn't even try to prepare
a patch.
Best regards
Uwe
