comparison acinclude/ax_gcc_archflag.m4 @ 5029:5d7d48157be7

Greg Jandl to SDL I did some digging, and I think I've found a better solution. By including some additional .m4 macros in the acinclude directory (http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_check_compiler_flags.html, http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_gcc_archflag.html and http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_gcc_x86_cpuid.html) then using the patch below (same as previous patch + one line change to configure.in), SDL will build correctly out of the box. The arch can then be overridden by --with-gcc-arch=<arch> (most will probably want to build with i686 there for general distribution) or --without-gcc-arch, to disable setting the arch all together. On my Atom netbook, I get -march=PentiumPro by default, which works great, as does --with-gcc-arch=i686.

5 # SYNOPSIS
6 #
7 # AX_GCC_ARCHFLAG([PORTABLE?], [ACTION-SUCCESS], [ACTION-FAILURE])
8 #
9 # DESCRIPTION
10 #
11 # This macro tries to guess the "native" arch corresponding to the target
12 # architecture for use with gcc's -march=arch or -mtune=arch flags. If
13 # found, the cache variable $ax_cv_gcc_archflag is set to this flag and
14 # ACTION-SUCCESS is executed; otherwise $ax_cv_gcc_archflag is is set to
15 # "unknown" and ACTION-FAILURE is executed. The default ACTION-SUCCESS is
16 # to add $ax_cv_gcc_archflag to the end of $CFLAGS.
17 #
18 # PORTABLE? should be either [yes] (default) or [no]. In the former case,
19 # the flag is set to -mtune (or equivalent) so that the architecture is
20 # only used for tuning, but the instruction set used is still portable. In
21 # the latter case, the flag is set to -march (or equivalent) so that
22 # architecture-specific instructions are enabled.
23 #
24 # The user can specify --with-gcc-arch=<arch> in order to override the
25 # macro's choice of architecture, or --without-gcc-arch to disable this.
26 #
27 # When cross-compiling, or if $CC is not gcc, then ACTION-FAILURE is
28 # called unless the user specified --with-gcc-arch manually.
29 #
30 # Requires macros: AX_CHECK_COMPILER_FLAGS, AX_GCC_X86_CPUID
31 #
32 # (The main emphasis here is on recent CPUs, on the principle that doing
33 # high-performance computing on old hardware is uncommon.)
