今天学习GDB的过程中,发现了了一个configure的问题,就是configure中build,target,host到底代表什么意思.在往上搜索到了这篇文档.
可以参考:http://www.airs.com/ian/configure/configure_toc.html

Nope. See `info standards' for the definition of $build*, $host* and
$target* macros. Basically, $build* refer to the system compilation is
being performed on, $host* refer to the system compiled binaries are to
run on and $target* refer to the system compiled binaries will handle. As
such $target* usually have a meaning a meaning for developemt tool only.
$target* macros. Basically, $build* refer to the system compilation is

So far packages that make use of $target* I know of are binutils, gcc,
gdb and ksymoops (a Linux run-time error disassembler). Let's take
binutils as an example. I compile it in several ways, following are
examples of configure invocations:
gdb and ksymoops (a Linux run-time error disassembler). Let's take
binutils as an example. I compile it in several ways, following are
examples of configure invocations:
1. `./configure --build=mipsel-linux --host=mipsel-linux --target=mipsel-linux' will build native mipsel-linux binutils on mipsel-linux.
2. `./configure --build=i386-linux --host=mipsel-linux --target=mipsel-linux' will cross-build native mipsel-linux binutils on i386-linux.
3. `./configure --build=i386-linux --host=i386-linux --target=mipsel-linux' will build mipsel-linux cross-binutils on i386-linux.
4. `./configure --build=mipsel-linux --host=i386-linux --target=mipsel-linux' will cross-build mipsel-linux cross-binutils for i386-linux on mipsel-linux.
As you see, only if $build != $host a cross-compilation is performed.
具体解释一下,build就是你正在使用的机器,host就是你编译好的程序可以运行的平台,target就是你编译的程序可以处理的平台.这个build和host比较好理解,但是target就不好办了,到底什么意思呢?一般来说,我们平时所说的交差编译用不到他target的,比如./configure --build=i386-linux,--host=arm-linux就可以了,在386的平台上编译可以运行在arm板的程序.但是,一般我们都是编译程序,而不是编译工具,如果我们编译工具,比如gcc,这个target就有用了.如果我们需要在一个我们的机器上为arm开发板编译一个可以处理mips程序的gcc,那么target就是mips了.不知道我的解释是否正确,如果大家看到了这篇帖子,觉得不对,批评指正.
总结:
build:自动测试在用平台名称,若无法检测出来则需要指定。
host:若无指定,自动使用 build 的结果。
build 和 host 相同时表示本地编译,若不相同则表示交叉编译。
target:表示需要处理的目标平台名称,若无指定使用 host 相同名称,gcc、binutils 等于平台指令相关软件有此参数,多 数软件此参数无用处。
