I searched the mailing list archives for this question and only found one
message containing ppuxlc which didn't answer my question.
We're trying to use autoconf in a hybrid environment that includes the
CellBE. I have a configure.ac for the CellBE PPE core and one for the SPE
core. I also have some macros for setting up the compilers and their flags
since it appears that AC_PROG_CC and AC_PROG_CXX do not support these
compilers. I have what I feel are valid compiler flags for, in this case,
ppuxlc++. However, I think I have a problem with the interaction of
autoconf/libtool and cannot get my sources to compile. Below is what I see
on output.
To try and narrow down on the error "ppuxlc++: 1501-208 (S) command option D
is missing a subargument" I went through by hand and removed all of the -D
arguments, and it still failed. Finally, I removed the -MD argument and it
"compiles." Unfortunately I don't know enough about autoconf/libtool to know
what the -MD -MP -MF arguments are or where they come from. Can anyone
provide any hints or suggestions on how to figure out what is going on?
