--without-machine-code should do it. Please find out why it doesn't.

But I guess you could always expand the test in Image/configure.in:

elif test "`uname -s`" = "OpenBSD"; then #nasm on OpenBSD is braindamaged AC_MSG_RESULT(no)

add another three rows and s/OpenBSD/FreeBSD...? :)

Possibly the test should be if it can compile *and* link the compiled (assembled) code with something else.

---

Hello there,

I have several non x86 platforms to maintain on FreeBSD.

Seems that even if I send --without-machine-code to configure of pike 7.4 (7.5 and 7.2 as well), the auto-configure script still wants to use nasm if it can be found on his path.

This give some "interressing" errors like this (on amd64 for example) :

Is there any "official" / good way to make configure script to avoid using nasm on non x86 platforms (I have likewise problems in : alpha, ppc, sparc64....) ?????

Thanks...
