--enable-initfini-array
Force the use of sections .init_array and .fini_array +(instead of .init and .fini) for constructors and +destructors. Option --disable-initfini-array has the +opposite effect. If neither option is specified, the configure script +will try to guess whether the .init_array and +.fini_array sections are supported and, if they are, use them. + +
--enable-maintainer-mode
The build rules that +regenerate the GCC master message catalog gcc.pot are normally disabled. This is because it can only be rebuilt if the complete source tree is present. If you have changed the sources and want to rebuild the -catalog, configuring with --enable-maintainer-mode will enable +catalog, configuring with --enable-maintainer-mode will enable this. Note that you need a recent version of the gettext tools to do so. -
--enable-version-specific-runtime-libs -

--disable-bootstrap
For a native build, the default configuration is to perform +a 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler when ‘make’ is invoked, +testing that GCC can compile itself correctly. If you want to disable +this process, you can configure with --disable-bootstrap. + +
--enable-bootstrap
In special cases, you may want to perform a 3-stage build +even if the target and host triplets are different. +This could happen when the host can run code compiled for +the target (e.g. host is i686-linux, target is i486-linux). +Starting from GCC 4.2, to do this you have to configure explicitly +with --enable-bootstrap. + +
--enable-generated-files-in-srcdir
Neither the .c and .h files that are generated from Bison and flex nor the +info manuals and man pages that are built from the .texi files are present +in the SVN development tree. When building GCC from that development tree, +or from one of our snapshots, those generated files are placed in your +build directory, which allows for the source to be in a readonly +directory. + +

If you configure with --enable-generated-files-in-srcdir then those +generated files will go into the source directory. This is mainly intended +for generating release or prerelease tarballs of the GCC sources, since it +is not a requirement that the users of source releases to have flex, Bison, +or makeinfo. + +

--enable-version-specific-runtime-libs
Specify that runtime libraries should be installed in the compiler specific -subdirectory (libsubdir) rather than the usual places.

--enable-languages=lang1,lang2,...
Specify that only a particular subset of compilers and their runtime libraries should be built. For a list of valid values for langN you can issue the following command in the -gcc directory of your GCC source tree:
-
          grep language= */config-lang.in
-          
- Currently, you can use any of the following: -ada, c, c++, f77, java, objc. -Building the Ada compiler has special requirements, see below.
-If you do not pass this flag, all languages available in the gcc -sub-tree will be configured. Re-defining LANGUAGES when calling -make bootstrap does not work anymore, as those -language sub-directories might not have been configured! - -
--disable-libgcj -
Specify that the run-time libraries -used by GCJ should not be built. This is useful in case you intend -to use GCJ with some other run-time, or you're going to install it -separately, or it just happens not to build on your particular -machine. In general, if the Java front end is enabled, the GCJ -libraries will be enabled too, unless they're known to not work on -the target platform. If GCJ is enabled but libgcj isn't built, you -may need to port it; in this case, before modifying the top-level -configure.in so that libgcj is enabled by default on this platform, -you may use --enable-libgcj to override the default. - -
--with-dwarf2 -
Specify that the compiler should +gcc directory of your GCC source tree:

+

Currently, you can use any of the following: +all, ada, c, c++, fortran, java, +objc, obj-c++. +Building the Ada compiler has special requirements, see below. +If you do not pass this flag, or specify the option all, then all +default languages available in the gcc sub-tree will be configured. +Ada and Objective-C++ are not default languages; the rest are. +Re-defining LANGUAGES when calling ‘makedoes not +work anymore, as those language sub-directories might not have been +configured! + +

--enable-stage1-languages=lang1,lang2,...
Specify that a particular subset of compilers and their runtime +libraries should be built with the system C compiler during stage 1 of +the bootstrap process, rather than only in later stages with the +bootstrapped C compiler. The list of valid values is the same as for +--enable-languages, and the option all will select all +of the languages enabled by --enable-languages. This option is +primarily useful for GCC development; for instance, when a development +version of the compiler cannot bootstrap due to compiler bugs, or when +one is debugging front ends other than the C front end. When this +option is used, one can then build the target libraries for the +specified languages with the stage-1 compiler by using make +stage1-bubble all-target, or run the testsuite on the stage-1 compiler +for the specified languages using make stage1-start check-gcc. + +
--disable-libada
Specify that the run-time libraries and tools used by GNAT should not +be built. This can be useful for debugging, or for compatibility with +previous Ada build procedures, when it was required to explicitly +do a ‘make -C gcc gnatlib_and_tools’. + +
--disable-libssp
Specify that the run-time libraries for stack smashing protection +should not be built. + +
--disable-libgomp
Specify that the run-time libraries used by GOMP should not be built. + +
--with-dwarf2
Specify that the compiler should use DWARF 2 debugging information as the default. -
--enable-win32-registry -

The --enable-win32-registry option enables Windows-hosted GCC -to look up installations paths in the registry using the following key: +
--enable-targets=all
--enable-targets=target_list
Some GCC targets, e.g. powerpc64-linux, build bi-arch compilers. +These are compilers that are able to generate either 64-bit or 32-bit +code. Typically, the corresponding 32-bit target, e.g. +powerpc-linux for powerpc64-linux, only generates 32-bit code. This +option enables the 32-bit target to be a bi-arch compiler, which is +useful when you want a bi-arch compiler that defaults to 32-bit, and +you are building a bi-arch or multi-arch binutils in a combined tree. +Currently, this option only affects sparc-linux, powerpc-linux and +x86-linux. -

--enable-checking -
--enable-checking=list -
When you specify this option, the compiler is built to perform checking -of tree node types when referencing fields of that node, and some other -internal consistency checks.

--enable-werror
--disable-werror
--enable-werror=yes
--enable-werror=no
When you specify this option, it controls whether certain files in the +compiler are built with -Werror in bootstrap stage2 and later. +If you don't specify it, -Werror is turned on for the main +development trunk. However it defaults to off for release branches and +final releases. The specific files which get -Werror are +controlled by the Makefiles. + +
--enable-checking
--enable-checking=list
When you specify this option, the compiler is built to perform internal +consistency checks of the requested complexity. This does not change the +generated code, but adds error checking within the compiler. This will +slow down the compiler and may only work properly if you are building +the compiler with GCC. This is ‘yes’ by default when building +from SVN or snapshots, but ‘release’ for releases. The default +for building the stage1 compiler is ‘yes’. More control +over the checks may be had by specifying list. The categories of +checks available are ‘yes’ (most common checks +‘assert,misc,tree,gc,rtlflag,runtime’), ‘no’ (no checks at +all), ‘all’ (all but ‘valgrind’), ‘release’ (cheapest +checks ‘assert,runtime’) or ‘none’ (same as ‘no’). +Individual checks can be enabled with these flags ‘assert’, +‘df’, ‘fold’, ‘gc’, ‘gcac’ ‘misc’, ‘rtl’, +‘rtlflag’, ‘runtime’, ‘tree’, and ‘valgrind’. + +

The ‘valgrind’ check requires the external valgrind +simulator, available from http://valgrind.org/. The +‘df’, ‘rtl’, ‘gcac’ and ‘valgrind’ checks are very expensive. +To disable all checking, ‘--disable-checking’ or +‘--enable-checking=none’ must be explicitly requested. Disabling +assertions will make the compiler and runtime slightly faster but +increase the risk of undetected internal errors causing wrong code to be +generated. + +

--disable-stage1-checking
--enable-stage1-checking
--enable-stage1-checking=list
If no --enable-checking option is specified the stage1 +compiler will be built with ‘yes’ checking enabled, otherwise +the stage1 checking flags are the same as specified by +--enable-checking. To build the stage1 compiler with +different checking options use --enable-stage1-checking. +The list of checking options is the same as for --enable-checking. +If your system is too slow or too small to bootstrap a released compiler +with checking for stage1 enabled, you can use ‘--disable-stage1-checking’ +to disable checking for the stage1 compiler. + +
--enable-coverage
--enable-coverage=level
With this option, the compiler is built to collect self coverage +information, every time it is run. This is for internal development +purposes, and only works when the compiler is being built with gcc. The +level argument controls whether the compiler is built optimized or +not, values are ‘opt’ and ‘noopt’. For coverage analysis you +want to disable optimization, for performance analysis you want to +enable optimization. When coverage is enabled, the default level is +without optimization. + +
--enable-gather-detailed-mem-stats
When this option is specified more detailed information on memory +allocation is gathered. This information is printed when using +-fmem-report. + +
--with-gc
--with-gc=choice
With this option you can specify the garbage collector implementation +used during the compilation process. choice can be one of +‘page’ and ‘zone’, where ‘page’ is the default. + +
--enable-nls

If NLS is enabled, and if the host lacks gettext but has the inferior catgets interface, the GCC build procedure normally ignores catgets and instead uses GCC's copy of the GNU -gettext library. The --with-catgets option causes the +gettext library. The --with-catgets option causes the build procedure to use the host's catgets in this situation. -

--enable-decimal-float
--enable-decimal-float=yes

--disable-decimal-float
Enable (or disable) support for the C decimal floating point extension +that is in the IEEE 754-2008 standard. This is enabled by default only +on PowerPC, i386, and x86_64 GNU/Linux systems. Other systems may also +support it, but require the user to specifically enable it. You can +optionally control which decimal floating point format is used (either +‘bid’ or ‘dpd’). The ‘bid’ (binary integer decimal) +format is default on i386 and x86_64 systems, and the ‘dpd’ +(densely packed decimal) format is default on PowerPC systems. + +
--enable-fixed-point
--disable-fixed-point
Enable (or disable) support for C fixed-point arithmetic. +This option is enabled by default for some targets (such as MIPS) which +have hardware-support for fixed-point operations. On other targets, you +may enable this option manually. + +
--with-long-double-128
Specify if long double type should be 128-bit by default on selected +GNU/Linux architectures. If using --without-long-double-128, +long double will be by default 64-bit, the same as double type. +When neither of these configure options are used, the default will be +128-bit long double when built against GNU C Library 2.4 and later, +64-bit long double otherwise. + +
--with-gmp=pathname
--with-gmp-include=pathname
--with-gmp-lib=pathname
--with-mpfr=pathname
--with-mpfr-include=pathname
--with-mpfr-lib=pathname
If you do not have GMP (the GNU Multiple Precision library) and the +MPFR Libraries installed in a standard location and you want to build +GCC, you can explicitly specify the directory where they are installed +(‘--with-gmp=gmpinstalldir’, +‘--with-mpfr=mpfrinstalldir’). The +--with-gmp=gmpinstalldir option is shorthand for +--with-gmp-lib=gmpinstalldir/lib and +--with-gmp-include=gmpinstalldir/include. Likewise the +--with-mpfr=mpfrinstalldir option is shorthand for +--with-mpfr-lib=mpfrinstalldir/lib and +--with-mpfr-include=mpfrinstalldir/include. If these +shorthand assumptions are not correct, you can use the explicit +include and lib options directly. + +
--with-ppl=pathname
--with-ppl-include=pathname
--with-ppl-lib=pathname
--with-cloog=pathname
--with-cloog-include=pathname
--with-cloog-lib=pathname
If you do not have PPL (the Parma Polyhedra Library) and the CLooG +libraries installed in a standard location and you want to build GCC, +you can explicitly specify the directory where they are installed +(‘--with-ppl=pplinstalldir’, +‘--with-cloog=clooginstalldir’). The +--with-ppl=pplinstalldir option is shorthand for +--with-ppl-lib=pplinstalldir/lib and +--with-ppl-include=pplinstalldir/include. Likewise the +--with-cloog=clooginstalldir option is shorthand for +--with-cloog-lib=clooginstalldir/lib and +--with-cloog-include=clooginstalldir/include. If these +shorthand assumptions are not correct, you can use the explicit +include and lib options directly. + +
--with-host-libstdcxx=linker-args
If you are linking with a static copy of PPL, you can use this option +to specify how the linker should find the standard C++ library used +internally by PPL. Typical values of linker-args might be +‘-lstdc++’ or ‘-Wl,-Bstatic,-lstdc++,-Bdynamic -lm’. If you are +linking with a shared copy of PPL, you probably do not need this +option; shared library dependencies will cause the linker to search +for the standard C++ library automatically. + +
--with-debug-prefix-map=map
Convert source directory names using -fdebug-prefix-map when +building runtime libraries. ‘map’ is a space-separated +list of maps of the form ‘old=new’. + +
+ +

Cross-Compiler-Specific Options

+ +

The following options only apply to building cross compilers. +

+
--with-sysroot
--with-sysroot=dir
Tells GCC to consider dir as the root of a tree that contains a +(subset of) the root filesystem of the target operating system. +Target system headers, libraries and run-time object files will be +searched in there. The specified directory is not copied into the +install tree, unlike the options --with-headers and +--with-libs that this option obsoletes. The default value, +in case --with-sysroot is not given an argument, is +${gcc_tooldir}/sys-root. If the specified directory is a +subdirectory of ${exec_prefix}, then it will be found relative to +the GCC binaries if the installation tree is moved. + +
--with-build-sysroot
--with-build-sysroot=dir
Tells GCC to consider dir as the system root (see +--with-sysroot) while building target libraries, instead of +the directory specified with --with-sysroot. This option is +only useful when you are already using --with-sysroot. You +can use --with-build-sysroot when you are configuring with +--prefix set to a directory that is different from the one in +which you are installing GCC and your target libraries. + +

This option affects the system root for the compiler used to build +target libraries (which runs on the build system); it does not affect +the compiler which is used to build GCC itself. + +

--with-headers
--with-headers=dir
Deprecated in favor of --with-sysroot. +Specifies that target headers are available when building a cross compiler. +The dir argument specifies a directory which has the target include +files. These include files will be copied into the gcc install +directory. This option with the dir argument is required when +building a cross compiler, if prefix/target/sys-include +doesn't pre-exist. If prefix/target/sys-include does +pre-exist, the dir argument may be omitted. fixincludes +will be run on these files to make them compatible with GCC. + +
--without-headers
Tells GCC not use any target headers from a libc when building a cross +compiler. When crossing to GNU/Linux, you need the headers so GCC +can build the exception handling for libgcc. + +
--with-libs
--with-libs=``dir1 dir2 ... dirN''
Deprecated in favor of --with-sysroot. +Specifies a list of directories which contain the target runtime +libraries. These libraries will be copied into the gcc install +directory. If the directory list is omitted, this option has no +effect. + +
--with-newlib
Specifies that ‘newlib’ is +being used as the target C library. This causes __eprintf to be +omitted from libgcc.a on the assumption that it will be provided by +‘newlib’. + +
--with-build-time-tools=dir
Specifies where to find the set of target tools (assembler, linker, etc.) +that will be used while building GCC itself. This option can be useful +if the directory layouts are different between the system you are building +GCC on, and the system where you will deploy it. + +

For example, on a ia64-hp-hpux system, you may have the GNU +assembler and linker in /usr/bin, and the native tools in a +different path, and build a toolchain that expects to find the +native tools in /usr/bin. + +

When you use this option, you should ensure that dir includes +ar, as, ld, nm, +ranlib and strip if necessary, and possibly +objdump. Otherwise, GCC may use an inconsistent set of +tools.

Some options which only apply to building cross compilers: +

Java-Specific Options

+ +

The following option applies to the build of the Java front end. +

-
--with-headers=dir -
Specifies a directory -which has target include files. -This option is required when building a cross -compiler, if prefix/target/sys-include doesn't pre-exist. -These include files will be copied into the gcc install directory. -fixincludes will be run on these files to make them compatible with -GCC. -
--with-libs=``dir1 dir2 ... dirN'' -
Specifies a list of directories which contain the target runtime -libraries. These libraries will be copied into the gcc install -directory. -
--with-newlib -
Specifies that newlib is -being used as the target C library. This causes __eprintf to be -omitted from libgcc.a on the assumption that it will be provided by -newlib. +
--disable-libgcj
Specify that the run-time libraries +used by GCJ should not be built. This is useful in case you intend +to use GCJ with some other run-time, or you're going to install it +separately, or it just happens not to build on your particular +machine. In general, if the Java front end is enabled, the GCJ +libraries will be enabled too, unless they're known to not work on +the target platform. If GCJ is enabled but ‘libgcj’ isn't built, you +may need to port it; in this case, before modifying the top-level +configure.in so that ‘libgcj’ is enabled by default on this platform, +you may use --enable-libgcj to override the default. + +
+ +

The following options apply to building ‘libgcj’. + +

General Options
+ +
+
--enable-java-maintainer-mode
By default the ‘libjava’ build will not attempt to compile the +.java source files to .class. Instead, it will use the +.class files from the source tree. If you use this option you +must have executables named ecj1 and gjavah in your path +for use by the build. You must use this option if you intend to +modify any .java files in libjava. + +
--with-java-home=dirname
This ‘libjava’ option overrides the default value of the +‘java.home’ system property. It is also used to set +‘sun.boot.class.path’ to dirname/lib/rt.jar. By +default ‘java.home’ is set to prefix and +‘sun.boot.class.path’ to +datadir/java/libgcj-version.jar. + +
--with-ecj-jar=filename
This option can be used to specify the location of an external jar +file containing the Eclipse Java compiler. A specially modified +version of this compiler is used by gcj to parse +.java source files. If this option is given, the +‘libjava’ build will create and install an ecj1 executable +which uses this jar file at runtime. + +

If this option is not given, but an ecj.jar file is found in +the topmost source tree at configure time, then the ‘libgcj’ +build will create and install ecj1, and will also install the +discovered ecj.jar into a suitable place in the install tree. + +

If ecj1 is not installed, then the user will have to supply one +on his path in order for gcj to properly parse .java +source files. A suitable jar is available from +ftp://sourceware.org/pub/java/. + +

--disable-getenv-properties
Don't set system properties from GCJ_PROPERTIES. + +
--enable-hash-synchronization
Use a global hash table for monitor locks. Ordinarily, +‘libgcj’'s ‘configure’ script automatically makes +the correct choice for this option for your platform. Only use +this if you know you need the library to be configured differently. + +
--enable-interpreter
Enable the Java interpreter. The interpreter is automatically +enabled by default on all platforms that support it. This option +is really only useful if you want to disable the interpreter +(using --disable-interpreter). + +
--disable-java-net
Disable java.net. This disables the native part of java.net only, +using non-functional stubs for native method implementations. + +
--disable-jvmpi
Disable JVMPI support. + +
--disable-libgcj-bc
Disable BC ABI compilation of certain parts of libgcj. By default, +some portions of libgcj are compiled with -findirect-dispatch +and -fno-indirect-classes, allowing them to be overridden at +run-time. + +

If --disable-libgcj-bc is specified, libgcj is built without +these options. This allows the compile-time linker to resolve +dependencies when statically linking to libgcj. However it makes it +impossible to override the affected portions of libgcj at run-time. + +

--enable-reduced-reflection
Build most of libgcj with -freduced-reflection. This reduces +the size of libgcj at the expense of not being able to do accurate +reflection on the classes it contains. This option is safe if you +know that code using libgcj will never use reflection on the standard +runtime classes in libgcj (including using serialization, RMI or CORBA). + +
--with-ecos
Enable runtime eCos target support. + +
--without-libffi
Don't use ‘libffi’. This will disable the interpreter and JNI +support as well, as these require ‘libffi’ to work. + +
--enable-libgcj-debug
Enable runtime debugging code. + +
--enable-libgcj-multifile
If specified, causes all .java source files to be +compiled into .class files in one invocation of +‘gcj’. This can speed up build time, but is more +resource-intensive. If this option is unspecified or +disabled, ‘gcj’ is invoked once for each .java +file to compile into a .class file. + +
--with-libiconv-prefix=DIR
Search for libiconv in DIR/include and DIR/lib. + +
--enable-sjlj-exceptions
Force use of the setjmp/longjmp-based scheme for exceptions. +‘configure’ ordinarily picks the correct value based on the platform. +Only use this option if you are sure you need a different setting. + +
--with-system-zlib
Use installed ‘zlib’ rather than that included with GCC. + +
--with-win32-nlsapi=ansi, unicows or unicode
Indicates how MinGW ‘libgcj’ translates between UNICODE +characters and the Win32 API. + +
--enable-java-home
If enabled, this creates a JPackage compatible SDK environment during install. +Note that if –enable-java-home is used, –with-arch-directory=ARCH must also +be specified. + +
--with-arch-directory=ARCH
Specifies the name to use for the jre/lib/ARCH directory in the SDK +environment created when –enable-java-home is passed. Typical names for this +directory include i386, amd64, ia64, etc. + +
--with-os-directory=DIR
Specifies the OS directory for the SDK include directory. This is set to auto +detect, and is typically 'linux'. + +
--with-origin-name=NAME
Specifies the JPackage origin name. This defaults to the 'gcj' in +java-1.5.0-gcj. + +
--with-arch-suffix=SUFFIX
Specifies the suffix for the sdk directory. Defaults to the empty string. +Examples include '.x86_64' in 'java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0.x86_64'. + +
--with-jvm-root-dir=DIR
Specifies where to install the SDK. Default is $(prefix)/lib/jvm. + +
--with-jvm-jar-dir=DIR
Specifies where to install jars. Default is $(prefix)/lib/jvm-exports. + +
--with-python-dir=DIR
Specifies where to install the Python modules used for aot-compile. DIR should +not include the prefix used in installation. For example, if the Python modules +are to be installed in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages, then +–with-python-dir=/lib/python2.5/site-packages should be passed. If this is +not specified, then the Python modules are installed in $(prefix)/share/python. + +
--enable-aot-compile-rpm
Adds aot-compile-rpm to the list of installed scripts. + +
+
ansi
Use the single-byte char and the Win32 A functions natively, +translating to and from UNICODE when using these functions. If +unspecified, this is the default. + +
