Hello

Sorry if I am being so noob in asking this.

I want to build mpich for armv7 and in doing so, I want to specify arm related flags specifically, CFLAGS="-O2 –march=armv7-a –mtune=cortex-a8 –mfpu=neon

–mfloat-abi=hard –fomit-frame-pointer"

But when I configure mpich and specify CFLAGS it fails to start by throwing this error.

linaro@weiser1:/mnt/nfs/install/mpich-3.0.4$ ./configure --prefix=/mnt/nfs/install/mpich-install/4.8/ CFLAGS="-O2 -march=armv7-a -mtune=cortex-a9 -mfpu=neon -float-abi=hard -fomit-frame-pointer"

Any help?

Thanks
