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

Any help? Thanks
