bug#5603: 23.1.90; value of CPP not used in configure script

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

Trying to use the LLVM variant of GCC like this:

	env PATH=/Developer/usr/bin:/sw/bin:$PATH ./configure --without-sound  
--without-dbus --without-pop --with-ns --disable-ns-self-contained --x- 
libraries=/usr/X11/libs --x-includes=/usr/X11/include/X11 --enable- 
locallisppath=/Library/Application\ Support/Emacs/calendar23:/Library/ 
Application\ Support/Emacs CC=llvm-gcc-4.2 CPP=llvm-cpp-4.2

or like this

	env PATH=/Developer/usr/bin:/sw/bin:$PATH CC=llvm-gcc-4.2 CPP=llvm- 
cpp-4.2 ./configure --without-sound --without-dbus --without-pop -- 
with-ns --disable-ns-self-contained --x-libraries=/usr/X11/libs --x- 
includes=/usr/X11/include/X11 --enable-locallisppath=/Library/ 
Application\ Support/Emacs/calendar23:/Library/Application\ Support/ 
Emacs

configure just finds:

There is also the question whether the option "-no-cpp-precomp" really  
is necessary on Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6. The version of GCC 4.2 LLVM  
uses does not recognise this option:

I can't tell what the issue is supposed to be here.
The "also the question" part is bug#9755.

Was there something else?

If not, this is a duplicate of bug#9755 (which I think is fixed in the
trunk now).

It's that I have set for configure the environment variable "CPP=llvm-cpp-4.2" because './configure --help' tells:

	Some influential environment variables:
	  CC          C compiler command
	  CFLAGS      C compiler flags
	  LDFLAGS     linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a
	              nonstandard directory <lib dir>
	  LIBS        libraries to pass to the linker, e.g. -l<library>
	  CPPFLAGS    (Objective) C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if
	              you have headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
	  CPP         C preprocessor
	  XMKMF       Path to xmkmf, Makefile generator for X Window System

But this does not seem to be true because it's

	+ ac_cv_prog_CPP='llvm-gcc-4.2 -E -no-cpp-precomp -I/sw/include -L/sw/lib'

that's used as C pre-processor. So either the configure script has a bug or its help function.


The mention of "-no-cpp-precomp" is more or less an additional remark.
