BUILD FAIL: configure cannot guess build type
xctan opened this issue · comments
The config.guess file contains in the source code is too old that fail to build on latest architecture, such as RISC-V. This can be fixed by generating new tarball by latest autotools.
The autotools generated files provided with the source code are there for ease of use and nothing blocks users from generating the files with a more recent version of autotools when necessary (as you appear to have found). Currently those will get updated whenever the autotools version in Ubuntu LTS (the distribution that I use in my development environment) changes so around every 2 years.
