Modifying GCC sources requires additional tools -described below. - -Tools/packages necessary for building GCC -========================================= - -ISO C90 compiler - Necessary to bootstrap GCC, although versions of GCC prior to 3.4 - also allow bootstrapping with a traditional (K&R) C compiler. - - To build all languages in a cross-compiler or other configuration - where 3-stage bootstrap is not performed, you need to start with - an existing GCC binary (version 2.95 or later) because source code - for language frontends other than C might use GCC extensions. - -GNAT - In order to build the Ada compiler (GNAT) you must already have - GNAT installed because portions of the Ada frontend are written in - Ada (with GNAT extensions.) Refer to the Ada installation - instructions for more specific information. - -A "working" POSIX compatible shell, or GNU bash - Necessary when running `configure' because some `/bin/sh' shells - have bugs and may crash when configuring the target libraries. In - other cases, `/bin/sh' or `ksh' have disastrous corner-case - performance problems. This can cause target `configure' runs to - literally take days to complete in some cases. - - So on some platforms `/bin/ksh' is sufficient, on others it isn't. - See the host/target specific instructions for your platform, or - use `bash' to be sure. Then set `CONFIG_SHELL' in your - environment to your "good" shell prior to running - `configure'/`make'. - - `zsh' is not a fully compliant POSIX shell and will not work when - configuring GCC. - -A POSIX or SVR4 awk - Necessary for creating some of the generated source files for GCC. - If in doubt, use a recent GNU awk version, as some of the older - ones are broken. GNU awk version 3.1.5 is known to work. - -GNU binutils - Necessary in some circumstances, optional in others. See the - host/target specific instructions for your platform for the exact - requirements. - -gzip version 1.2.4 (or later) or -bzip2 version 1.0.2 (or later) - Necessary to uncompress GCC `tar' files when source code is - obtained via FTP mirror sites. - -GNU make version 3.80 (or later) - You must have GNU make installed to build GCC. - -GNU tar version 1.14 (or later) - Necessary (only on some platforms) to untar the source code. Many - systems' `tar' programs will also work, only try GNU `tar' if you - have problems. - -GNU Multiple Precision Library (GMP) version 4.1 (or later) - Necessary to build GCC. If you do not have it installed in your - library search path, you will have to configure with the - `--with-gmp' configure option. See also `--with-gmp-lib' and - `--with-gmp-include'. Alternatively, if a GMP source distribution - is found in a subdirectory of your GCC sources named `gmp', it - will be built together with GCC. - -MPFR Library version 2.3.2 (or later) - Necessary to build GCC. It can be downloaded from - `http://www.mpfr.org/'. The version of MPFR that is bundled with - GMP 4.1.x contains numerous bugs. Although GCC may appear to - function with the buggy versions of MPFR, there are a few bugs - that will not be fixed when using this version. It is strongly - recommended to upgrade to the recommended version of MPFR. - - The `--with-mpfr' configure option should be used if your MPFR - Library is not installed in your default library search path. See - also `--with-mpfr-lib' and `--with-mpfr-include'. Alternatively, - if a MPFR source distribution is found in a subdirectory of your - GCC sources named `mpfr', it will be built together with GCC. - -Parma Polyhedra Library (PPL) version 0.10 - Necessary to build GCC with the Graphite loop optimizations. It - can be downloaded from `http://www.cs.unipr.it/ppl/Download/'. - - The `--with-ppl' configure option should be used if PPL is not - installed in your default library search path. - -CLooG-PPL version 0.15 - Necessary to build GCC with the Graphite loop optimizations. It - can be downloaded from `ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/'. - The code in `cloog-ppl-0.15.tar.gz' comes from a branch of CLooG - available from `http://repo.or.cz/w/cloog-ppl.git'. CLooG-PPL - should be configured with `--with-ppl'. - - The `--with-cloog' configure option should be used if CLooG is not - installed in your default library search path. - -`jar', or InfoZIP (`zip' and `unzip') - Necessary to build libgcj, the GCJ runtime. - - -Tools/packages necessary for modifying GCC -========================================== - -autoconf version 2.59 -GNU m4 version 1.4 (or later) - Necessary when modifying `configure.ac', `aclocal.m4', etc. to - regenerate `configure' and `config.in' files. - -automake version 1.9.6 - Necessary when modifying a `Makefile.am' file to regenerate its - associated `Makefile.in'. - - Much of GCC does not use automake, so directly edit the - `Makefile.in' file. Specifically this applies to the `gcc', - `intl', `libcpp', `libiberty', `libobjc' directories as well as - any of their subdirectories. - - For directories that use automake, GCC requires the latest release - in the 1.9.x series, which is currently 1.9.6. When regenerating - a directory to a newer version, please update all the directories - using an older 1.9.x to the latest released version. - -gettext version 0.14.5 (or later) - Needed to regenerate `gcc.pot'. - -gperf version 2.7.2 (or later) - Necessary when modifying `gperf' input files, e.g. - `gcc/cp/cfns.gperf' to regenerate its associated header file, e.g. - `gcc/cp/cfns.h'. - -DejaGnu 1.4.4 -Expect -Tcl - Necessary to run the GCC testsuite; see the section on testing for - details. - -autogen version 5.5.4 (or later) and -guile version 1.4.1 (or later) - Necessary to regenerate `fixinc/fixincl.x' from - `fixinc/inclhack.def' and `fixinc/*.tpl'. - - Necessary to run `make check' for `fixinc'. - - Necessary to regenerate the top level `Makefile.in' file from - `Makefile.tpl' and `Makefile.def'. - -Flex version 2.5.4 (or later) - Necessary when modifying `*.l' files. - - Necessary to build GCC during development because the generated - output files are not included in the SVN repository. They are - included in releases. - -Texinfo version 4.7 (or later) - Necessary for running `makeinfo' when modifying `*.texi' files to - test your changes. - - Necessary for running `make dvi' or `make pdf' to create printable - documentation in DVI or PDF format. Texinfo version 4.8 or later - is required for `make pdf'. - - Necessary to build GCC documentation during development because the - generated output files are not included in the SVN repository. - They are included in releases. - -TeX (any working version) - Necessary for running `texi2dvi' and `texi2pdf', which are used - when running `make dvi' or `make pdf' to create DVI or PDF files, - respectively. - -SVN (any version) -SSH (any version) - Necessary to access the SVN repository. Public releases and weekly - snapshots of the development sources are also available via FTP. - -Perl version 5.6.1 (or later) - Necessary when regenerating `Makefile' dependencies in libiberty. - Necessary when regenerating `libiberty/functions.texi'. Necessary - when generating manpages from Texinfo manuals. Necessary when - targetting Darwin, building libstdc++, and not using - `--disable-symvers'. Used by various scripts to generate some - files included in SVN (mainly Unicode-related and rarely changing) - from source tables. - -GNU diffutils version 2.7 (or later) - Useful when submitting patches for the GCC source code. - -patch version 2.5.4 (or later) - Necessary when applying patches, created with `diff', to one's own - sources. - -ecj1 -gjavah - If you wish to modify `.java' files in libjava, you will need to - configure with `--enable-java-maintainer-mode', and you will need - to have executables named `ecj1' and `gjavah' in your path. The - `ecj1' executable should run the Eclipse Java compiler via the - GCC-specific entry point. You can download a suitable jar from - `ftp://sourceware.org/pub/java/', or by running the script - `contrib/download_ecj'. - -antlr.jar version 2.7.1 (or later) -antlr binary - If you wish to build the `gjdoc' binary in libjava, you will need - to have a `antlr.jar' library available. The library is searched - in system locations but can be configured with `--with-antlr-jar=' - instead. When configuring with `--enable-java-maintainer-mode', - you will need to have one of the executables named `cantlr', - `runantlr' or `antlr' in your path. - - - -File: gccinstall.info, Node: Downloading the source, Next: Configuration, Prev: Prerequisites, Up: Installing GCC - -3 Downloading GCC -***************** - - GCC is distributed via SVN and FTP tarballs compressed with `gzip' or -`bzip2'. It is possible to download a full distribution or specific -components. - - Please refer to the releases web page for information on how to -obtain GCC. - - The full distribution includes the C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, -Java, and Ada (in the case of GCC 3.1 and later) compilers. The full -distribution also includes runtime libraries for C++, Objective-C, -Fortran, and Java. In GCC 3.0 and later versions, the GNU compiler -testsuites are also included in the full distribution. - - If you choose to download specific components, you must download the -core GCC distribution plus any language specific distributions you wish -to use. The core distribution includes the C language front end as -well as the shared components. Each language has a tarball which -includes the language front end as well as the language runtime (when -appropriate). - - Unpack the core distribution as well as any language specific -distributions in the same directory. - - If you also intend to build binutils (either to upgrade an existing -installation or for use in place of the corresponding tools of your -OS), unpack the binutils distribution either in the same directory or a -separate one. In the latter case, add symbolic links to any components -of the binutils you intend to build alongside the compiler (`bfd', -`binutils', `gas', `gprof', `ld', `opcodes', ...) to the directory -containing the GCC sources. - - Likewise, the GMP and MPFR libraries can be automatically built -together with GCC. Unpack the GMP and/or MPFR source distributions in -the directory containing the GCC sources and rename their directories to -`gmp' and `mpfr', respectively (or use symbolic links with the same -name). - - -File: gccinstall.info, Node: Configuration, Next: Building, Prev: Downloading the source, Up: Installing GCC - -4 Installing GCC: Configuration -******************************* - - Like most GNU software, GCC must be configured before it can be -built. This document describes the recommended configuration procedure -for both native and cross targets. - - We use SRCDIR to refer to the toplevel source directory for GCC; we -use OBJDIR to refer to the toplevel build/object directory. - - If you obtained the sources via SVN, SRCDIR must refer to the top -`gcc' directory, the one where the `MAINTAINERS' can be found, and not -its `gcc' subdirectory, otherwise the build will fail. - - If either SRCDIR or OBJDIR is located on an automounted NFS file -system, the shell's built-in `pwd' command will return temporary -pathnames. Using these can lead to various sorts of build problems. -To avoid this issue, set the `PWDCMD' environment variable to an -automounter-aware `pwd' command, e.g., `pawd' or `amq -w', during the -configuration and build phases. - - First, we *highly* recommend that GCC be built into a separate -directory than the sources which does *not* reside within the source -tree. This is how we generally build GCC; building where SRCDIR == -OBJDIR should still work, but doesn't get extensive testing; building -where OBJDIR is a subdirectory of SRCDIR is unsupported. - - If you have previously built GCC in the same directory for a -different target machine, do `make distclean' to delete all files that -might be invalid. One of the files this deletes is `Makefile'; if -`make distclean' complains that `Makefile' does not exist or issues a -message like "don't know how to make distclean" it probably means that -the directory is already suitably clean. However, with the recommended -method of building in a separate OBJDIR, you should simply use a -different OBJDIR for each target. - - Second, when configuring a native system, either `cc' or `gcc' must -be in your path or you must set `CC' in your environment before running -configure. Otherwise the configuration scripts may fail. - - To configure GCC: - - % mkdir OBJDIR - % cd OBJDIR - % SRCDIR/configure [OPTIONS] [TARGET] - -Distributor options -=================== - -If you will be distributing binary versions of GCC, with modifications -to the source code, you should use the options described in this -section to make clear that your version contains modifications. - -`--with-pkgversion=VERSION' - Specify a string that identifies your package. You may wish to - include a build number or build date. This version string will be - included in the output of `gcc --version'. This suffix does not - replace the default version string, only the `GCC' part. - - The default value is `GCC'. - -`--with-bugurl=URL' - Specify the URL that users should visit if they wish to report a - bug. You are of course welcome to forward bugs reported to you to - the FSF, if you determine that they are not bugs in your - modifications. - - The default value refers to the FSF's GCC bug tracker. - - -Target specification -==================== - - * GCC has code to correctly determine the correct value for TARGET - for nearly all native systems. Therefore, we highly recommend you - not provide a configure target when configuring a native compiler. - - * TARGET must be specified as `--target=TARGET' when configuring a - cross compiler; examples of valid targets would be m68k-coff, - sh-elf, etc. - - * Specifying just TARGET instead of `--target=TARGET' implies that - the host defaults to TARGET. - -Options specification -===================== - -Use OPTIONS to override several configure time options for GCC. A list -of supported OPTIONS follows; `configure --help' may list other -options, but those not listed below may not work and should not -normally be used. - - Note that each `--enable' option has a corresponding `--disable' -option and that each `--with' option has a corresponding `--without' -option. - -`--prefix=DIRNAME' - Specify the toplevel installation directory. This is the - recommended way to install the tools into a directory other than - the default. The toplevel installation directory defaults to - `/usr/local'. - - We *highly* recommend against DIRNAME being the same or a - subdirectory of OBJDIR or vice versa. If specifying a directory - beneath a user's home directory tree, some shells will not expand - DIRNAME correctly if it contains the `~' metacharacter; use - `$HOME' instead. - - The following standard `autoconf' options are supported. Normally - you should not need to use these options. - `--exec-prefix=DIRNAME' - Specify the toplevel installation directory for - architecture-dependent files. The default is `PREFIX'. - - `--bindir=DIRNAME' - Specify the installation directory for the executables called - by users (such as `gcc' and `g++'). The default is - `EXEC-PREFIX/bin'. - - `--libdir=DIRNAME' - Specify the installation directory for object code libraries - and internal data files of GCC. The default is - `EXEC-PREFIX/lib'. - - `--libexecdir=DIRNAME' - Specify the installation directory for internal executables - of GCC. The default is `EXEC-PREFIX/libexec'. - - `--with-slibdir=DIRNAME' - Specify the installation directory for the shared libgcc - library. The default is `LIBDIR'. - - `--infodir=DIRNAME' - Specify the installation directory for documentation in info - format. The default is `PREFIX/info'. - - `--datadir=DIRNAME' - Specify the installation directory for some - architecture-independent data files referenced by GCC. The - default is `PREFIX/share'. - - `--mandir=DIRNAME' - Specify the installation directory for manual pages. The - default is `PREFIX/man'. (Note that the manual pages are - only extracts from the full GCC manuals, which are provided - in Texinfo format. The manpages are derived by an automatic - conversion process from parts of the full manual.) - - `--with-gxx-include-dir=DIRNAME' - Specify the installation directory for G++ header files. The - default is `PREFIX/include/c++/VERSION'. - - -`--program-prefix=PREFIX' - GCC supports some transformations of the names of its programs when - installing them. This option prepends PREFIX to the names of - programs to install in BINDIR (see above). For example, specifying - `--program-prefix=foo-' would result in `gcc' being installed as - `/usr/local/bin/foo-gcc'. - -`--program-suffix=SUFFIX' - Appends SUFFIX to the names of programs to install in BINDIR (see - above). For example, specifying `--program-suffix=-3.1' would - result in `gcc' being installed as `/usr/local/bin/gcc-3.1'. - -`--program-transform-name=PATTERN' - Applies the `sed' script PATTERN to be applied to the names of - programs to install in BINDIR (see above). PATTERN has to consist - of one or more basic `sed' editing commands, separated by - semicolons. For example, if you want the `gcc' program name to be - transformed to the installed program `/usr/local/bin/myowngcc' and - the `g++' program name to be transformed to - `/usr/local/bin/gspecial++' without changing other program names, - you could use the pattern - `--program-transform-name='s/^gcc$/myowngcc/; s/^g++$/gspecial++/'' - to achieve this effect. - - All three options can be combined and used together, resulting in - more complex conversion patterns. As a basic rule, PREFIX (and - SUFFIX) are prepended (appended) before further transformations - can happen with a special transformation script PATTERN. - - As currently implemented, this option only takes effect for native - builds; cross compiler binaries' names are not transformed even - when a transformation is explicitly asked for by one of these - options. - - For native builds, some of the installed programs are also - installed with the target alias in front of their name, as in - `i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc'. All of the above transformations happen - before the target alias is prepended to the name--so, specifying - `--program-prefix=foo-' and `program-suffix=-3.1', the resulting - binary would be installed as - `/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-foo-gcc-3.1'. - - As a last shortcoming, none of the installed Ada programs are - transformed yet, which will be fixed in some time. - -`--with-local-prefix=DIRNAME' - Specify the installation directory for local include files. The - default is `/usr/local'. Specify this option if you want the - compiler to search directory `DIRNAME/include' for locally - installed header files _instead_ of `/usr/local/include'. - - You should specify `--with-local-prefix' *only* if your site has a - different convention (not `/usr/local') for where to put - site-specific files. - - The default value for `--with-local-prefix' is `/usr/local' - regardless of the value of `--prefix'. Specifying `--prefix' has - no effect on which directory GCC searches for local header files. - This may seem counterintuitive, but actually it is logical. - - The purpose of `--prefix' is to specify where to _install GCC_. - The local header files in `/usr/local/include'--if you put any in - that directory--are not part of GCC. They are part of other - programs--perhaps many others. (GCC installs its own header files - in another directory which is based on the `--prefix' value.) - - Both the local-prefix include directory and the GCC-prefix include - directory are part of GCC's "system include" directories. - Although these two directories are not fixed, they need to be - searched in the proper order for the correct processing of the - include_next directive. The local-prefix include directory is - searched before the GCC-prefix include directory. Another - characteristic of system include directories is that pedantic - warnings are turned off for headers in these directories. - - Some autoconf macros add `-I DIRECTORY' options to the compiler - command line, to ensure that directories containing installed - packages' headers are searched. When DIRECTORY is one of GCC's - system include directories, GCC will ignore the option so that - system directories continue to be processed in the correct order. - This may result in a search order different from what was - specified but the directory will still be searched. - - GCC automatically searches for ordinary libraries using - `GCC_EXEC_PREFIX'. Thus, when the same installation prefix is - used for both GCC and packages, GCC will automatically search for - both headers and libraries. This provides a configuration that is - easy to use. GCC behaves in a manner similar to that when it is - installed as a system compiler in `/usr'. - - Sites that need to install multiple versions of GCC may not want to - use the above simple configuration. It is possible to use the - `--program-prefix', `--program-suffix' and - `--program-transform-name' options to install multiple versions - into a single directory, but it may be simpler to use different - prefixes and the `--with-local-prefix' option to specify the - location of the site-specific files for each version. It will - then be necessary for users to specify explicitly the location of - local site libraries (e.g., with `LIBRARY_PATH'). - - The same value can be used for both `--with-local-prefix' and - `--prefix' provided it is not `/usr'. This can be used to avoid - the default search of `/usr/local/include'. - - *Do not* specify `/usr' as the `--with-local-prefix'! The - directory you use for `--with-local-prefix' *must not* contain any - of the system's standard header files. If it did contain them, - certain programs would be miscompiled (including GNU Emacs, on - certain targets), because this would override and nullify the - header file corrections made by the `fixincludes' script. - - Indications are that people who use this option use it based on - mistaken ideas of what it is for. People use it as if it - specified where to install part of GCC. Perhaps they make this - assumption because installing GCC creates the directory. - -`--enable-shared[=PACKAGE[,...]]' - Build shared versions of libraries, if shared libraries are - supported on the target platform. Unlike GCC 2.95.x and earlier, - shared libraries are enabled by default on all platforms that - support shared libraries. - - If a list of packages is given as an argument, build shared - libraries only for the listed packages. For other packages, only - static libraries will be built. Package names currently - recognized in the GCC tree are `libgcc' (also known as `gcc'), - `libstdc++' (not `libstdc++-v3'), `libffi', `zlib', `boehm-gc', - `ada', `libada', `libjava' and `libobjc'. Note `libiberty' does - not support shared libraries at all. - - Use `--disable-shared' to build only static libraries. Note that - `--disable-shared' does not accept a list of package names as - argument, only `--enable-shared' does. - -`--with-gnu-as' - Specify that the compiler should assume that the assembler it - finds is the GNU assembler. However, this does not modify the - rules to find an assembler and will result in confusion if the - assembler found is not actually the GNU assembler. (Confusion may - also result if the compiler finds the GNU assembler but has not - been configured with `--with-gnu-as'.) If you have more than one - assembler installed on your system, you may want to use this - option in connection with `--with-as=PATHNAME' or - `--with-build-time-tools=PATHNAME'. - - The following systems are the only ones where it makes a difference - whether you use the GNU assembler. On any other system, - `--with-gnu-as' has no effect. - - * `hppa1.0-ANY-ANY' - - * `hppa1.1-ANY-ANY' - - * `sparc-sun-solaris2.ANY' - - * `sparc64-ANY-solaris2.ANY' - -`--with-as=PATHNAME' - Specify that the compiler should use the assembler pointed to by - PATHNAME, rather than the one found by the standard rules to find - an assembler, which are: - * Unless GCC is being built with a cross compiler, check the - `LIBEXEC/gcc/TARGET/VERSION' directory. LIBEXEC defaults to - `EXEC-PREFIX/libexec'; EXEC-PREFIX defaults to PREFIX, which - defaults to `/usr/local' unless overridden by the - `--prefix=PATHNAME' switch described above. TARGET is the - target system triple, such as `sparc-sun-solaris2.7', and - VERSION denotes the GCC version, such as 3.0. - - * If the target system is the same that you are building on, - check operating system specific directories (e.g. - `/usr/ccs/bin' on Sun Solaris 2). - - * Check in the `PATH' for a tool whose name is prefixed by the - target system triple. - - * Check in the `PATH' for a tool whose name is not prefixed by - the target system triple, if the host and target system - triple are the same (in other words, we use a host tool if it - can be used for the target as well). - - You may want to use `--with-as' if no assembler is installed in - the directories listed above, or if you have multiple assemblers - installed and want to choose one that is not found by the above - rules. - -`--with-gnu-ld' - Same as `--with-gnu-as' but for the linker. - -`--with-ld=PATHNAME' - Same as `--with-as' but for the linker. - -`--with-stabs' - Specify that stabs debugging information should be used instead of - whatever format the host normally uses. Normally GCC uses the - same debug format as the host system. - - On MIPS based systems and on Alphas, you must specify whether you - want GCC to create the normal ECOFF debugging format, or to use - BSD-style stabs passed through the ECOFF symbol table. The normal - ECOFF debug format cannot fully handle languages other than C. - BSD stabs format can handle other languages, but it only works - with the GNU debugger GDB. - - Normally, GCC uses the ECOFF debugging format by default; if you - prefer BSD stabs, specify `--with-stabs' when you configure GCC. - - No matter which default you choose when you configure GCC, the user - can use the `-gcoff' and `-gstabs+' options to specify explicitly - the debug format for a particular compilation. - - `--with-stabs' is meaningful on the ISC system on the 386, also, if - `--with-gas' is used. It selects use of stabs debugging - information embedded in COFF output. This kind of debugging - information supports C++ well; ordinary COFF debugging information - does not. - - `--with-stabs' is also meaningful on 386 systems running SVR4. It - selects use of stabs debugging information embedded in ELF output. - The C++ compiler currently (2.6.0) does not support the DWARF - debugging information normally used on 386 SVR4 platforms; stabs - provide a workable alternative. This requires gas and gdb, as the - normal SVR4 tools can not generate or interpret stabs. - -`--disable-multilib' - Specify that multiple target libraries to support different target - variants, calling conventions, etc. should not be built. The - default is to build a predefined set of them. - - Some targets provide finer-grained control over which multilibs - are built (e.g., `--disable-softfloat'): - `arc-*-elf*' - biendian. - - `arm-*-*' - fpu, 26bit, underscore, interwork, biendian, nofmult. - - `m68*-*-*' - softfloat, m68881, m68000, m68020. - - `mips*-*-*' - single-float, biendian, softfloat. - - `powerpc*-*-*, rs6000*-*-*' - aix64, pthread, softfloat, powercpu, powerpccpu, powerpcos, - biendian, sysv, aix. - - -`--enable-threads' - Specify that the target supports threads. This affects the - Objective-C compiler and runtime library, and exception handling - for other languages like C++ and Java. On some systems, this is - the default. - - In general, the best (and, in many cases, the only known) threading - model available will be configured for use. Beware that on some - systems, GCC has not been taught what threading models are - generally available for the system. In this case, - `--enable-threads' is an alias for `--enable-threads=single'. - -`--disable-threads' - Specify that threading support should be disabled for the system. - This is an alias for `--enable-threads=single'. - -`--enable-threads=LIB' - Specify that LIB is the thread support library. This affects the - Objective-C compiler and runtime library, and exception handling - for other languages like C++ and Java. The possibilities for LIB - are: - - `aix' - AIX thread support. - - `dce' - DCE thread support. - - `gnat' - Ada tasking support. For non-Ada programs, this setting is - equivalent to `single'. When used in conjunction with the - Ada run time, it causes GCC to use the same thread primitives - as Ada uses. This option is necessary when using both Ada - and the back end exception handling, which is the default for - most Ada targets. - - `mach' - Generic MACH thread support, known to work on NeXTSTEP. - (Please note that the file needed to support this - configuration, `gthr-mach.h', is missing and thus this - setting will cause a known bootstrap failure.) - - `no' - This is an alias for `single'. - - `posix' - Generic POSIX/Unix98 thread support. - - `posix95' - Generic POSIX/Unix95 thread support. - - `rtems' - RTEMS thread support. - - `single' - Disable thread support, should work for all platforms. - - `solaris' - Sun Solaris 2 thread support. - - `vxworks' - VxWorks thread support. - - `win32' - Microsoft Win32 API thread support. - - `nks' - Novell Kernel Services thread support. - -`--enable-tls' - Specify that the target supports TLS (Thread Local Storage). - Usually configure can correctly determine if TLS is supported. In - cases where it guesses incorrectly, TLS can be explicitly enabled - or disabled with `--enable-tls' or `--disable-tls'. This can - happen if the assembler supports TLS but the C library does not, - or if the assumptions made by the configure test are incorrect. - -`--disable-tls' - Specify that the target does not support TLS. This is an alias - for `--enable-tls=no'. - -`--with-cpu=CPU' -`--with-cpu-32=CPU' -`--with-cpu-64=CPU' - Specify which cpu variant the compiler should generate code for by - default. CPU will be used as the default value of the `-mcpu=' - switch. This option is only supported on some targets, including - ARM, i386, M68k, PowerPC, and SPARC. The `--with-cpu-32' and - `--with-cpu-64' options specify separate default CPUs for 32-bit - and 64-bit modes; these options are only supported for i386 and - x86-64. - -`--with-schedule=CPU' -`--with-arch=CPU' -`--with-arch-32=CPU' -`--with-arch-64=CPU' -`--with-tune=CPU' -`--with-tune-32=CPU' -`--with-tune-64=CPU' -`--with-abi=ABI' -`--with-fpu=TYPE' -`--with-float=TYPE' - These configure options provide default values for the - `-mschedule=', `-march=', `-mtune=', `-mabi=', and `-mfpu=' - options and for `-mhard-float' or `-msoft-float'. As with - `--with-cpu', which switches will be accepted and acceptable values - of the arguments depend on the target. - -`--with-mode=MODE' - Specify if the compiler should default to `-marm' or `-mthumb'. - This option is only supported on ARM targets. - -`--with-divide=TYPE' - Specify how the compiler should generate code for checking for - division by zero. This option is only supported on the MIPS - target. The possibilities for TYPE are: - `traps' - Division by zero checks use conditional traps (this is the - default on systems that support conditional traps). - - `breaks' - Division by zero checks use the break instruction. - -`--with-llsc' - On MIPS targets, make `-mllsc' the default when no `-mno-lsc' - option is passed. This is the default for Linux-based targets, as - the kernel will emulate them if the ISA does not provide them. - -`--without-llsc' - On MIPS targets, make `-mno-llsc' the default when no `-mllsc' - option is passed. - -`--with-mips-plt' - On MIPS targets, make use of copy relocations and PLTs. These - features are extensions to the traditional SVR4-based MIPS ABIs - and require support from GNU binutils and the runtime C library. - -`--enable-__cxa_atexit' - Define if you want to use __cxa_atexit, rather than atexit, to - register C++ destructors for local statics and global objects. - This is essential for fully standards-compliant handling of - destructors, but requires __cxa_atexit in libc. This option is - currently only available on systems with GNU libc. When enabled, - this will cause `-fuse-cxa-atexit' to be passed by default. - -`--enable-target-optspace' - Specify that target libraries should be optimized for code space - instead of code speed. This is the default for the m32r platform. - -`--disable-cpp' - Specify that a user visible `cpp' program should not be installed. - -`--with-cpp-install-dir=DIRNAME' - Specify that the user visible `cpp' program should be installed in - `PREFIX/DIRNAME/cpp', in addition to BINDIR. - -`--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 this. Note that you - need a recent version of the `gettext' tools to do so. - -`--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 (`LIBDIR/gcc') rather than the usual places. - In addition, `libstdc++''s include files will be installed into - `LIBDIR' unless you overruled it by using - `--with-gxx-include-dir=DIRNAME'. Using this option is - particularly useful if you intend to use several versions of GCC in - parallel. This is currently supported by `libgfortran', - `libjava', `libmudflap', `libstdc++', and `libobjc'. - -`--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: `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 `make' *does 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-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-secureplt' - This option enables `-msecure-plt' by default for powerpc-linux. - *Note RS/6000 and PowerPC Options: (gcc)RS/6000 and PowerPC - Options, - -`--enable-cld' - This option enables `-mcld' by default for 32-bit x86 targets. - *Note i386 and x86-64 Options: (gcc)i386 and x86-64 Options, - -`--enable-win32-registry' -`--enable-win32-registry=KEY' -`--disable-win32-registry' - The `--enable-win32-registry' option enables Microsoft - Windows-hosted GCC to look up installations paths in the registry - using the following key: - - `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Free Software Foundation\KEY' - - KEY defaults to GCC version number, and can be overridden by the - `--enable-win32-registry=KEY' option. Vendors and distributors - who use custom installers are encouraged to provide a different - key, perhaps one comprised of vendor name and GCC version number, - to avoid conflict with existing installations. This feature is - enabled by default, and can be disabled by - `--disable-win32-registry' option. This option has no effect on - the other hosts. - -`--nfp' - Specify that the machine does not have a floating point unit. This - option only applies to `m68k-sun-sunosN'. On any other system, - `--nfp' has no effect. - -`--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' -`--disable-nls' - The `--enable-nls' option enables Native Language Support (NLS), - which lets GCC output diagnostics in languages other than American - English. Native Language Support is enabled by default if not - doing a canadian cross build. The `--disable-nls' option disables - NLS. - -`--with-included-gettext' - If NLS is enabled, the `--with-included-gettext' option causes the - build procedure to prefer its copy of GNU `gettext'. - -`--with-catgets' - 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 build procedure - to use the host's `catgets' in this situation. - -`--with-libiconv-prefix=DIR' - Search for libiconv header files in `DIR/include' and libiconv - library files in `DIR/lib'. - -`--enable-obsolete' - Enable configuration for an obsoleted system. If you attempt to - configure GCC for a system (build, host, or target) which has been - obsoleted, and you do not specify this flag, configure will halt - with an error message. - - All support for systems which have been obsoleted in one release - of GCC is removed entirely in the next major release, unless - someone steps forward to maintain the port. - -`--enable-decimal-float' -`--enable-decimal-float=yes' -`--enable-decimal-float=no' -`--enable-decimal-float=bid' -`--enable-decimal-float=dpd' -`--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. - -Java-Specific Options ---------------------- - -The following option applies to the build of the Java front end. - -`--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. - - `unicows' - Use the `WCHAR' and Win32 W functions natively. Adds - `-lunicows' to `libgcj.spec' to link with `libunicows'. - `unicows.dll' needs to be deployed on Microsoft Windows 9X - machines running built executables. `libunicows.a', an - open-source import library around Microsoft's `unicows.dll', - is obtained from `http://libunicows.sourceforge.net/', which - also gives details on getting `unicows.dll' from Microsoft. - - `unicode' - Use the `WCHAR' and Win32 W functions natively. Does _not_ - add `-lunicows' to `libgcj.spec'. The built executables will - only run on Microsoft Windows NT and above. - -AWT-Specific Options -.................... - -`--with-x' - Use the X Window System. - -`--enable-java-awt=PEER(S)' - Specifies the AWT peer library or libraries to build alongside - `libgcj'. If this option is unspecified or disabled, AWT will be - non-functional. Current valid values are `gtk' and `xlib'. - Multiple libraries should be separated by a comma (i.e. - `--enable-java-awt=gtk,xlib'). - -`--enable-gtk-cairo' - Build the cairo Graphics2D implementation on GTK. - -`--enable-java-gc=TYPE' - Choose garbage collector. Defaults to `boehm' if unspecified. - -`--disable-gtktest' - Do not try to compile and run a test GTK+ program. - -`--disable-glibtest' - Do not try to compile and run a test GLIB program. - -`--with-libart-prefix=PFX' - Prefix where libart is installed (optional). - -`--with-libart-exec-prefix=PFX' - Exec prefix where libart is installed (optional). - -`--disable-libarttest' - Do not try to compile and run a test libart program. - - - -File: gccinstall.info, Node: Building, Next: Testing, Prev: Configuration, Up: Installing GCC - -5 Building -********** - - Now that GCC is configured, you are ready to build the compiler and -runtime libraries. - - Some commands executed when making the compiler may fail (return a -nonzero status) and be ignored by `make'. These failures, which are -often due to files that were not found, are expected, and can safely be -ignored. - - It is normal to have compiler warnings when compiling certain files. -Unless you are a GCC developer, you can generally ignore these warnings -unless they cause compilation to fail. Developers should attempt to fix -any warnings encountered, however they can temporarily continue past -warnings-as-errors by specifying the configure flag `--disable-werror'. - - On certain old systems, defining certain environment variables such -as `CC' can interfere with the functioning of `make'. - - If you encounter seemingly strange errors when trying to build the -compiler in a directory other than the source directory, it could be -because you have previously configured the compiler in the source -directory. Make sure you have done all the necessary preparations. - - If you build GCC on a BSD system using a directory stored in an old -System V file system, problems may occur in running `fixincludes' if the -System V file system doesn't support symbolic links. These problems -result in a failure to fix the declaration of `size_t' in -`sys/types.h'. If you find that `size_t' is a signed type and that -type mismatches occur, this could be the cause. - - The solution is not to use such a directory for building GCC. - - Similarly, when building from SVN or snapshots, or if you modify -`*.l' files, you need the Flex lexical analyzer generator installed. -If you do not modify `*.l' files, releases contain the Flex-generated -files and you do not need Flex installed to build them. There is still -one Flex-based lexical analyzer (part of the build machinery, not of -GCC itself) that is used even if you only build the C front end. - - When building from SVN or snapshots, or if you modify Texinfo -documentation, you need version 4.7 or later of Texinfo installed if you -want Info documentation to be regenerated. Releases contain Info -documentation pre-built for the unmodified documentation in the release. - -5.1 Building a native compiler -============================== - -For a native build, the default configuration is to perform a 3-stage -bootstrap of the compiler when `make' is invoked. This will build the -entire GCC system and ensure that it compiles itself correctly. It can -be disabled with the `--disable-bootstrap' parameter to `configure', -but bootstrapping is suggested because the compiler will be tested more -completely and could also have better performance. - - The bootstrapping process will complete the following steps: - - * Build tools necessary to build the compiler. - - * Perform a 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler. This includes - building three times the target tools for use by the compiler such - as binutils (bfd, binutils, gas, gprof, ld, and opcodes) if they - have been individually linked or moved into the top level GCC - source tree before configuring. - - * Perform a comparison test of the stage2 and stage3 compilers. - - * Build runtime libraries using the stage3 compiler from the - previous step. - - - If you are short on disk space you might consider `make -bootstrap-lean' instead. The sequence of compilation is the same -described above, but object files from the stage1 and stage2 of the -3-stage bootstrap of the compiler are deleted as soon as they are no -longer needed. - - If you wish to use non-default GCC flags when compiling the stage2 -and stage3 compilers, set `BOOT_CFLAGS' on the command line when doing -`make'. For example, if you want to save additional space during the -bootstrap and in the final installation as well, you can build the -compiler binaries without debugging information as in the following -example. This will save roughly 40% of disk space both for the -bootstrap and the final installation. (Libraries will still contain -debugging information.) - - make BOOT_CFLAGS='-O' bootstrap - - You can place non-default optimization flags into `BOOT_CFLAGS'; they -are less well tested here than the default of `-g -O2', but should -still work. In a few cases, you may find that you need to specify -special flags such as `-msoft-float' here to complete the bootstrap; or, -if the native compiler miscompiles the stage1 compiler, you may need to -work around this, by choosing `BOOT_CFLAGS' to avoid the parts of the -stage1 compiler that were miscompiled, or by using `make bootstrap4' to -increase the number of stages of bootstrap. - - `BOOT_CFLAGS' does not apply to bootstrapped target libraries. -Since these are always compiled with the compiler currently being -bootstrapped, you can use `CFLAGS_FOR_TARGET' to modify their -compilation flags, as for non-bootstrapped target libraries. Again, if -the native compiler miscompiles the stage1 compiler, you may need to -work around this by avoiding non-working parts of the stage1 compiler. -Use `STAGE1_LIBCFLAGS' to this end. - - If you used the flag `--enable-languages=...' to restrict the -compilers to be built, only those you've actually enabled will be -built. This will of course only build those runtime libraries, for -which the particular compiler has been built. Please note, that -re-defining `LANGUAGES' when calling `make' *does not* work anymore! - - If the comparison of stage2 and stage3 fails, this normally indicates -that the stage2 compiler has compiled GCC incorrectly, and is therefore -a potentially serious bug which you should investigate and report. (On -a few systems, meaningful comparison of object files is impossible; they -always appear "different". If you encounter this problem, you will -need to disable comparison in the `Makefile'.) - - If you do not want to bootstrap your compiler, you can configure with -`--disable-bootstrap'. In particular cases, you may want to bootstrap -your compiler even if the target system is not the same as the one you -are building on: for example, you could build a -`powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu' toolchain on a -`powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu' host. In this case, pass -`--enable-bootstrap' to the configure script. - -5.2 Building a cross compiler -============================= - -When building a cross compiler, it is not generally possible to do a -3-stage bootstrap of the compiler. This makes for an interesting -problem as parts of GCC can only be built with GCC. - - To build a cross compiler, we first recommend building and -installing a native compiler. You can then use the native GCC compiler -to build the cross compiler. The installed native compiler needs to be -GCC version 2.95 or later. - - If the cross compiler is to be built with support for the Java -programming language and the ability to compile .java source files is -desired, the installed native compiler used to build the cross compiler -needs to be the same GCC version as the cross compiler. In addition -the cross compiler needs to be configured with `--with-ecj-jar=...'. - - Assuming you have already installed a native copy of GCC and -configured your cross compiler, issue the command `make', which -performs the following steps: - - * Build host tools necessary to build the compiler. - - * Build target tools for use by the compiler such as binutils (bfd, - binutils, gas, gprof, ld, and opcodes) if they have been - individually linked or moved into the top level GCC source tree - before configuring. - - * Build the compiler (single stage only). - - * Build runtime libraries using the compiler from the previous step. - - Note that if an error occurs in any step the make process will exit. - - If you are not building GNU binutils in the same source tree as GCC, -you will need a cross-assembler and cross-linker installed before -configuring GCC. Put them in the directory `PREFIX/TARGET/bin'. Here -is a table of the tools you should put in this directory: - -`as' - This should be the cross-assembler. - -`ld' - This should be the cross-linker. - -`ar' - This should be the cross-archiver: a program which can manipulate - archive files (linker libraries) in the target machine's format. - -`ranlib' - This should be a program to construct a symbol table in an archive - file. - - The installation of GCC will find these programs in that directory, -and copy or link them to the proper place to for the cross-compiler to -find them when run later. - - The easiest way to provide these files is to build the Binutils -package. Configure it with the same `--host' and `--target' options -that you use for configuring GCC, then build and install them. They -install their executables automatically into the proper directory. -Alas, they do not support all the targets that GCC supports. - - If you are not building a C library in the same source tree as GCC, -you should also provide the target libraries and headers before -configuring GCC, specifying the directories with `--with-sysroot' or -`--with-headers' and `--with-libs'. Many targets also require "start -files" such as `crt0.o' and `crtn.o' which are linked into each -executable. There may be several alternatives for `crt0.o', for use -with profiling or other compilation options. Check your target's -definition of `STARTFILE_SPEC' to find out what start files it uses. - -5.3 Building in parallel -======================== - -GNU Make 3.79 and above, which is necessary to build GCC, support -building in parallel. To activate this, you can use `make -j 2' -instead of `make'. You can also specify a bigger number, and in most -cases using a value greater than the number of processors in your -machine will result in fewer and shorter I/O latency hits, thus -improving overall throughput; this is especially true for slow drives -and network filesystems. - -5.4 Building the Ada compiler -============================= - -In order to build GNAT, the Ada compiler, you need a working GNAT -compiler (GCC version 3.4 or later). This includes GNAT tools such as -`gnatmake' and `gnatlink', since the Ada front end is written in Ada and -uses some GNAT-specific extensions. - - In order to build a cross compiler, it is suggested to install the -new compiler as native first, and then use it to build the cross -compiler. - - `configure' does not test whether the GNAT installation works and -has a sufficiently recent version; if too old a GNAT version is -installed, the build will fail unless `--enable-languages' is used to -disable building the Ada front end. - - `ADA_INCLUDE_PATH' and `ADA_OBJECT_PATH' environment variables must -not be set when building the Ada compiler, the Ada tools, or the Ada -runtime libraries. You can check that your build environment is clean -by verifying that `gnatls -v' lists only one explicit path in each -section. - -5.5 Building with profile feedback -================================== - -It is possible to use profile feedback to optimize the compiler itself. -This should result in a faster compiler binary. Experiments done on -x86 using gcc 3.3 showed approximately 7 percent speedup on compiling C -programs. To bootstrap the compiler with profile feedback, use `make -profiledbootstrap'. - - When `make profiledbootstrap' is run, it will first build a `stage1' -compiler. This compiler is used to build a `stageprofile' compiler -instrumented to collect execution counts of instruction and branch -probabilities. Then runtime libraries are compiled with profile -collected. Finally a `stagefeedback' compiler is built using the -information collected. - - Unlike standard bootstrap, several additional restrictions apply. -The compiler used to build `stage1' needs to support a 64-bit integral -type. It is recommended to only use GCC for this. Also parallel make -is currently not supported since collisions in profile collecting may -occur. - - -File: gccinstall.info, Node: Testing, Next: Final install, Prev: Building, Up: Installing GCC - -6 Installing GCC: Testing -************************* - - Before you install GCC, we encourage you to run the testsuites and to -compare your results with results from a similar configuration that have -been submitted to the gcc-testresults mailing list. Some of these -archived results are linked from the build status lists at -`http://gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html', although not everyone who reports -a successful build runs the testsuites and submits the results. This -step is optional and may require you to download additional software, -but it can give you confidence in your new GCC installation or point out -problems before you install and start using your new GCC. - - First, you must have downloaded the testsuites. These are part of -the full distribution, but if you downloaded the "core" compiler plus -any front ends, you must download the testsuites separately. - - Second, you must have the testing tools installed. This includes -DejaGnu, Tcl, and Expect; the DejaGnu site has links to these. - - If the directories where `runtest' and `expect' were installed are -not in the `PATH', you may need to set the following environment -variables appropriately, as in the following example (which assumes -that DejaGnu has been installed under `/usr/local'): - - TCL_LIBRARY = /usr/local/share/tcl8.0 - DEJAGNULIBS = /usr/local/share/dejagnu - - (On systems such as Cygwin, these paths are required to be actual -paths, not mounts or links; presumably this is due to some lack of -portability in the DejaGnu code.) - - Finally, you can run the testsuite (which may take a long time): - cd OBJDIR; make -k check - - This will test various components of GCC, such as compiler front -ends and runtime libraries. While running the testsuite, DejaGnu might -emit some harmless messages resembling `WARNING: Couldn't find the -global config file.' or `WARNING: Couldn't find tool init file' that -can be ignored. - - If you are testing a cross-compiler, you may want to run the -testsuite on a simulator as described at -`http://gcc.gnu.org/simtest-howto.html'. - -6.1 How can you run the testsuite on selected tests? -==================================================== - -In order to run sets of tests selectively, there are targets `make -check-gcc' and `make check-g++' in the `gcc' subdirectory of the object -directory. You can also just run `make check' in a subdirectory of the -object directory. - - A more selective way to just run all `gcc' execute tests in the -testsuite is to use - - make check-gcc RUNTESTFLAGS="execute.exp OTHER-OPTIONS" - - Likewise, in order to run only the `g++' "old-deja" tests in the -testsuite with filenames matching `9805*', you would use - - make check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="old-deja.exp=9805* OTHER-OPTIONS" - - The `*.exp' files are located in the testsuite directories of the GCC -source, the most important ones being `compile.exp', `execute.exp', -`dg.exp' and `old-deja.exp'. To get a list of the possible `*.exp' -files, pipe the output of `make check' into a file and look at the -`Running ... .exp' lines. - -6.2 Passing options and running multiple testsuites -=================================================== - -You can pass multiple options to the testsuite using the -`--target_board' option of DejaGNU, either passed as part of -`RUNTESTFLAGS', or directly to `runtest' if you prefer to work outside -the makefiles. For example, - - make check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=unix/-O3/-fmerge-constants" - - will run the standard `g++' testsuites ("unix" is the target name -for a standard native testsuite situation), passing `-O3 --fmerge-constants' to the compiler on every test, i.e., slashes -separate options. - - You can run the testsuites multiple times using combinations of -options with a syntax similar to the brace expansion of popular shells: - - ..."--target_board=arm-sim\{-mhard-float,-msoft-float\}\{-O1,-O2,-O3,\}" - - (Note the empty option caused by the trailing comma in the final -group.) The following will run each testsuite eight times using the -`arm-sim' target, as if you had specified all possible combinations -yourself: - - --target_board=arm-sim/-mhard-float/-O1 - --target_board=arm-sim/-mhard-float/-O2 - --target_board=arm-sim/-mhard-float/-O3 - --target_board=arm-sim/-mhard-float - --target_board=arm-sim/-msoft-float/-O1 - --target_board=arm-sim/-msoft-float/-O2 - --target_board=arm-sim/-msoft-float/-O3 - --target_board=arm-sim/-msoft-float - - They can be combined as many times as you wish, in arbitrary ways. -This list: - - ..."--target_board=unix/-Wextra\{-O3,-fno-strength\}\{-fomit-frame,\}" - - will generate four combinations, all involving `-Wextra'. - - The disadvantage to this method is that the testsuites are run in -serial, which is a waste on multiprocessor systems. For users with GNU -Make and a shell which performs brace expansion, you can run the -testsuites in parallel by having the shell perform the combinations and -`make' do the parallel runs. Instead of using `--target_board', use a -special makefile target: - - make -jN check-TESTSUITE//TEST-TARGET/OPTION1/OPTION2/... - - For example, - - make -j3 check-gcc//sh-hms-sim/{-m1,-m2,-m3,-m3e,-m4}/{,-nofpu} - - will run three concurrent "make-gcc" testsuites, eventually testing -all ten combinations as described above. Note that this is currently -only supported in the `gcc' subdirectory. (To see how this works, try -typing `echo' before the example given here.) - -6.3 Additional testing for Java Class Libraries -=============================================== - -The Java runtime tests can be executed via `make check' in the -`TARGET/libjava/testsuite' directory in the build tree. - - The Mauve Project provides a suite of tests for the Java Class -Libraries. This suite can be run as part of libgcj testing by placing -the Mauve tree within the libjava testsuite at -`libjava/testsuite/libjava.mauve/mauve', or by specifying the location -of that tree when invoking `make', as in `make MAUVEDIR=~/mauve check'. - -6.4 How to interpret test results -================================= - -The result of running the testsuite are various `*.sum' and `*.log' -files in the testsuite subdirectories. The `*.log' files contain a -detailed log of the compiler invocations and the corresponding results, -the `*.sum' files summarize the results. These summaries contain -status codes for all tests: - - * PASS: the test passed as expected - - * XPASS: the test unexpectedly passed - - * FAIL: the test unexpectedly failed - - * XFAIL: the test failed as expected - - * UNSUPPORTED: the test is not supported on this platform - - * ERROR: the testsuite detected an error - - * WARNING: the testsuite detected a possible problem - - It is normal for some tests to report unexpected failures. At the -current time the testing harness does not allow fine grained control -over whether or not a test is expected to fail. This problem should be -fixed in future releases. - -6.5 Submitting test results -=========================== - -If you want to report the results to the GCC project, use the -`contrib/test_summary' shell script. Start it in the OBJDIR with - - SRCDIR/contrib/test_summary -p your_commentary.txt \ - -m gcc-testresults@gcc.gnu.org |sh - - This script uses the `Mail' program to send the results, so make -sure it is in your `PATH'. The file `your_commentary.txt' is prepended -to the testsuite summary and should contain any special remarks you -have on your results or your build environment. Please do not edit the -testsuite result block or the subject line, as these messages may be -automatically processed. - - -File: gccinstall.info, Node: Final install, Prev: Testing, Up: Installing GCC - -7 Installing GCC: Final installation -************************************ - - Now that GCC has been built (and optionally tested), you can install -it with - cd OBJDIR; make install - - We strongly recommend to install into a target directory where there -is no previous version of GCC present. Also, the GNAT runtime should -not be stripped, as this would break certain features of the debugger -that depend on this debugging information (catching Ada exceptions for -instance). - - That step completes the installation of GCC; user level binaries can -be found in `PREFIX/bin' where PREFIX is the value you specified with -the `--prefix' to configure (or `/usr/local' by default). (If you -specified `--bindir', that directory will be used instead; otherwise, -if you specified `--exec-prefix', `EXEC-PREFIX/bin' will be used.) -Headers for the C++ and Java libraries are installed in -`PREFIX/include'; libraries in `LIBDIR' (normally `PREFIX/lib'); -internal parts of the compiler in `LIBDIR/gcc' and `LIBEXECDIR/gcc'; -documentation in info format in `INFODIR' (normally `PREFIX/info'). - - When installing cross-compilers, GCC's executables are not only -installed into `BINDIR', that is, `EXEC-PREFIX/bin', but additionally -into `EXEC-PREFIX/TARGET-ALIAS/bin', if that directory exists. -Typically, such "tooldirs" hold target-specific binutils, including -assembler and linker. - - Installation into a temporary staging area or into a `chroot' jail -can be achieved with the command - - make DESTDIR=PATH-TO-ROOTDIR install - -where PATH-TO-ROOTDIR is the absolute path of a directory relative to -which all installation paths will be interpreted. Note that the -directory specified by `DESTDIR' need not exist yet; it will be created -if necessary. - - There is a subtle point with tooldirs and `DESTDIR': If you relocate -a cross-compiler installation with e.g. `DESTDIR=ROOTDIR', then the -directory `ROOTDIR/EXEC-PREFIX/TARGET-ALIAS/bin' will be filled with -duplicated GCC executables only if it already exists, it will not be -created otherwise. This is regarded as a feature, not as a bug, -because it gives slightly more control to the packagers using the -`DESTDIR' feature. - - If you are bootstrapping a released version of GCC then please -quickly review the build status page for your release, available from -`http://gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html'. If your system is not listed for -the version of GCC that you built, send a note to -indicating that you successfully built and installed GCC. Include the -following information: - - * Output from running `SRCDIR/config.guess'. Do not send that file - itself, just the one-line output from running it. - - * The output of `gcc -v' for your newly installed `gcc'. This tells - us which version of GCC you built and the options you passed to - configure. - - * Whether you enabled all languages or a subset of them. If you - used a full distribution then this information is part of the - configure options in the output of `gcc -v', but if you downloaded - the "core" compiler plus additional front ends then it isn't - apparent which ones you built unless you tell us about it. - - * If the build was for GNU/Linux, also include: - * The distribution name and version (e.g., Red Hat 7.1 or - Debian 2.2.3); this information should be available from - `/etc/issue'. - - * The version of the Linux kernel, available from `uname - --version' or `uname -a'. - - * The version of glibc you used; for RPM-based systems like Red - Hat, Mandrake, and SuSE type `rpm -q glibc' to get the glibc - version, and on systems like Debian and Progeny use `dpkg -l - libc6'. - For other systems, you can include similar information if you - think it is relevant. - - * Any other information that you think would be useful to people - building GCC on the same configuration. The new entry in the - build status list will include a link to the archived copy of your - message. - - We'd also like to know if the *note host/target specific -installation notes: Specific. didn't include your host/target -information or if that information is incomplete or out of date. Send -a note to detailing how the information should be -changed. - - If you find a bug, please report it following the bug reporting -guidelines. - - If you want to print the GCC manuals, do `cd OBJDIR; make dvi'.

Not all supported hosts and targets are listed here, -only the ones that require host-specific or target-specific information -are. - -alpha*-*-* -========== - -This section contains general configuration information for all -alpha-based platforms using ELF (in particular, ignore this section for -DEC OSF/1, Digital UNIX and Tru64 UNIX). In addition to reading this -section, please read all other sections that match your target. - - We require binutils 2.11.2 or newer. Previous binutils releases had -a number of problems with DWARF 2 debugging information, not the least -of which is incorrect linking of shared libraries. - -alpha*-dec-osf* -=============== - -Systems using processors that implement the DEC Alpha architecture and -are running the DEC/Compaq Unix (DEC OSF/1, Digital UNIX, or Compaq -Tru64 UNIX) operating system, for example the DEC Alpha AXP systems. - - As of GCC 3.2, versions before `alpha*-dec-osf4' are no longer -supported. (These are the versions which identify themselves as DEC -OSF/1.) - - In Digital Unix V4.0, virtual memory exhausted bootstrap failures -may be fixed by configuring with `--with-gc=simple', reconfiguring -Kernel Virtual Memory and Swap parameters per the `/usr/sbin/sys_check' -Tuning Suggestions, or applying the patch in -`http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-08/msg00822.html'. - - In Tru64 UNIX V5.1, Compaq introduced a new assembler that does not -currently (2001-06-13) work with `mips-tfile'. As a workaround, we -need to use the old assembler, invoked via the barely documented -`-oldas' option. To bootstrap GCC, you either need to use the Compaq C -Compiler: - - % CC=cc SRCDIR/configure [OPTIONS] [TARGET] - - or you can use a copy of GCC 2.95.3 or higher built on Tru64 UNIX -V4.0: - - % CC=gcc -Wa,-oldas SRCDIR/configure [OPTIONS] [TARGET] - - As of GNU binutils 2.11.2, neither GNU `as' nor GNU `ld' are -supported on Tru64 UNIX, so you must not configure GCC with -`--with-gnu-as' or `--with-gnu-ld'. - - GCC writes a `.verstamp' directive to the assembler output file -unless it is built as a cross-compiler. It gets the version to use from -the system header file `/usr/include/stamp.h'. If you install a new -version of DEC Unix, you should rebuild GCC to pick up the new version -stamp. - - `make compare' may fail on old versions of DEC Unix unless you add -`-save-temps' to `BOOT_CFLAGS'. On these systems, the name of the -assembler input file is stored in the object file, and that makes -comparison fail if it differs between the `stage1' and `stage2' -compilations. The option `-save-temps' forces a fixed name to be used -for the assembler input file, instead of a randomly chosen name in -`/tmp'. Do not add `-save-temps' unless the comparisons fail without -that option. If you add `-save-temps', you will have to manually -delete the `.i' and `.s' files after each series of compilations. - - GCC now supports both the native (ECOFF) debugging format used by DBX -and GDB and an encapsulated STABS format for use only with GDB. See the -discussion of the `--with-stabs' option of `configure' above for more -information on these formats and how to select them. - - There is a bug in DEC's assembler that produces incorrect line -numbers for ECOFF format when the `.align' directive is used. To work -around this problem, GCC will not emit such alignment directives while -writing ECOFF format debugging information even if optimization is -being performed. Unfortunately, this has the very undesirable -side-effect that code addresses when `-O' is specified are different -depending on whether or not `-g' is also specified. - - To avoid this behavior, specify `-gstabs+' and use GDB instead of -DBX. DEC is now aware of this problem with the assembler and hopes to -provide a fix shortly. - -arc-*-elf -========= - -Argonaut ARC processor. This configuration is intended for embedded -systems. - -arm-*-elf -========= - -ARM-family processors. Subtargets that use the ELF object format -require GNU binutils 2.13 or newer.

You need to get the complete -compilation package DJGPP, which includes binaries as well as sources, -and includes all the necessary compilation tools and libraries. - -*-*-freebsd* -============ - -The version of binutils installed in `/usr/bin' probably works with -this release of GCC. However, on FreeBSD 4, bootstrapping against the -latest FSF binutils is known to improve overall testsuite results; and, -on FreeBSD/alpha, using binutils 2.14 or later is required to build -libjava. - - Support for FreeBSD 1 was discontinued in GCC 3.2. - - Support for FreeBSD 2 will be discontinued after GCC 3.4. The -following was true for GCC 3.1 but the current status is unknown. For -FreeBSD 2 or any mutant a.out versions of FreeBSD 3: All configuration -support and files as shipped with GCC 2.95 are still in place. FreeBSD -2.2.7 has been known to bootstrap completely; however, it is unknown -which version of binutils was used (it is assumed that it was the -system copy in `/usr/bin') and C++ EH failures were noted. - - For FreeBSD using the ELF file format: DWARF 2 debugging is now the -default for all CPU architectures. It had been the default on -FreeBSD/alpha since its inception. You may use `-gstabs' instead of -`-g', if you really want the old debugging format. There are no known -issues with mixing object files and libraries with different debugging -formats. Otherwise, this release of GCC should now match more of the -configuration used in the stock FreeBSD configuration of GCC. In -particular, `--enable-threads' is now configured by default. However, -as a general user, do not attempt to replace the system compiler with -this release. Known to bootstrap and check with good results on -FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE and 5-CURRENT. In the past, known to bootstrap and -check with good results on FreeBSD 3.0, 3.4, 4.0, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, -4.8-STABLE. - - In principle, `--enable-threads' is now compatible with -`--enable-libgcj' on FreeBSD. However, it has only been built and -tested on `i386-*-freebsd[45]' and `alpha-*-freebsd[45]'. The static -library may be incorrectly built (symbols are missing at link time). -There is a rare timing-based startup hang (probably involves an -assumption about the thread library). Multi-threaded boehm-gc -(required for libjava) exposes severe threaded signal-handling bugs on -FreeBSD before 4.5-RELEASE. Other CPU architectures supported by -FreeBSD will require additional configuration tuning in, at the very -least, both boehm-gc and libffi. - - Shared `libgcc_s.so' is now built and installed by default. - -h8300-hms -========= - -Renesas H8/300 series of processors. - - Please have a look at the binaries page. - - The calling convention and structure layout has changed in release -2.6. All code must be recompiled. The calling convention now passes -the first three arguments in function calls in registers. Structures -are no longer a multiple of 2 bytes. - -hppa*-hp-hpux* -============== - -Support for HP-UX version 9 and older was discontinued in GCC 3.4. - - We require using gas/binutils on all hppa platforms. Version 2.19 or -later is recommended. - - It may be helpful to configure GCC with the `--with-gnu-as' and -`--with-as=...' options to ensure that GCC can find GAS. - - The HP assembler should not be used with GCC. It is rarely tested -and may not work. It shouldn't be used with any languages other than C -due to its many limitations. - - Specifically, `-g' does not work (HP-UX uses a peculiar debugging -format which GCC does not know about). It also inserts timestamps into -each object file it creates, causing the 3-stage comparison test to -fail during a bootstrap. You should be able to continue by saying -`make all-host all-target' after getting the failure from `make'. - - Various GCC features are not supported. For example, it does not -support weak symbols or alias definitions. As a result, explicit -template instantiations are required when using C++. This makes it -difficult if not impossible to build many C++ applications. - - There are two default scheduling models for instructions. These are -PROCESSOR_7100LC and PROCESSOR_8000. They are selected from the pa-risc -architecture specified for the target machine when configuring. -PROCESSOR_8000 is the default. PROCESSOR_7100LC is selected when the -target is a `hppa1*' machine. - - The PROCESSOR_8000 model is not well suited to older processors. -Thus, it is important to completely specify the machine architecture -when configuring if you want a model other than PROCESSOR_8000. The -macro TARGET_SCHED_DEFAULT can be defined in BOOT_CFLAGS if a different -default scheduling model is desired. - - As of GCC 4.0, GCC uses the UNIX 95 namespace for HP-UX 10.10 -through 11.00, and the UNIX 98 namespace for HP-UX 11.11 and later. -This namespace change might cause problems when bootstrapping with an -earlier version of GCC or the HP compiler as essentially the same -namespace is required for an entire build. This problem can be avoided -in a number of ways. With HP cc, `UNIX_STD' can be set to `95' or -`98'. Another way is to add an appropriate set of predefines to `CC'. -The description for the `munix=' option contains a list of the -predefines used with each standard. - - More specific information to `hppa*-hp-hpux*' targets follows. - -hppa*-hp-hpux10 -=============== - -For hpux10.20, we _highly_ recommend you pick up the latest sed patch -`PHCO_19798' from HP. HP has two sites which provide patches free of -charge: - - * `http://us.itrc.hp.com/service/home/home.do' US, Canada, - Asia-Pacific, and Latin-America. - - * `http://europe.itrc.hp.com/service/home/home.do' Europe. - - The C++ ABI has changed incompatibly in GCC 4.0. COMDAT subspaces -are used for one-only code and data. This resolves many of the previous -problems in using C++ on this target. However, the ABI is not -compatible with the one implemented under HP-UX 11 using secondary -definitions. - -hppa*-hp-hpux11 -=============== - -GCC 3.0 and up support HP-UX 11. GCC 2.95.x is not supported and cannot -be used to compile GCC 3.0 and up. - - The libffi and libjava libraries haven't been ported to 64-bit HP-UX -and don't build. - - Refer to binaries for information about obtaining precompiled GCC -binaries for HP-UX. Precompiled binaries must be obtained to build the -Ada language as it can't be bootstrapped using C. Ada is only -available for the 32-bit PA-RISC runtime. - - Starting with GCC 3.4 an ISO C compiler is required to bootstrap. -The bundled compiler supports only traditional C; you will need either -HP's unbundled compiler, or a binary distribution of GCC. - - It is possible to build GCC 3.3 starting with the bundled HP -compiler, but the process requires several steps. GCC 3.3 can then be -used to build later versions. The fastjar program contains ISO C code -and can't be built with the HP bundled compiler. This problem can be -avoided by not building the Java language. For example, use the -`--enable-languages="c,c++,f77,objc"' option in your configure command. - - There are several possible approaches to building the distribution. -Binutils can be built first using the HP tools. Then, the GCC -distribution can be built. The second approach is to build GCC first -using the HP tools, then build binutils, then rebuild GCC. There have -been problems with various binary distributions, so it is best not to -start from a binary distribution. - - On 64-bit capable systems, there are two distinct targets. Different -installation prefixes must be used if both are to be installed on the -same system. The `hppa[1-2]*-hp-hpux11*' target generates code for the -32-bit PA-RISC runtime architecture and uses the HP linker. The -`hppa64-hp-hpux11*' target generates 64-bit code for the PA-RISC 2.0 -architecture. - - The script config.guess now selects the target type based on the -compiler detected during configuration. You must define `PATH' or `CC' -so that configure finds an appropriate compiler for the initial -bootstrap. When `CC' is used, the definition should contain the -options that are needed whenever `CC' is used. - - Specifically, options that determine the runtime architecture must be -in `CC' to correctly select the target for the build. It is also -convenient to place many other compiler options in `CC'. For example, -`CC="cc -Ac +DA2.0W -Wp,-H16376 -D_CLASSIC_TYPES -D_HPUX_SOURCE"' can -be used to bootstrap the GCC 3.3 branch with the HP compiler in 64-bit -K&R/bundled mode. The `+DA2.0W' option will result in the automatic -selection of the `hppa64-hp-hpux11*' target. The macro definition -table of cpp needs to be increased for a successful build with the HP -compiler. _CLASSIC_TYPES and _HPUX_SOURCE need to be defined when -building with the bundled compiler, or when using the `-Ac' option. -These defines aren't necessary with `-Ae'. - - It is best to explicitly configure the `hppa64-hp-hpux11*' target -with the `--with-ld=...' option. This overrides the standard search -for ld. The two linkers supported on this target require different -commands. The default linker is determined during configuration. As a -result, it's not possible to switch linkers in the middle of a GCC -build. This has been reported to sometimes occur in unified builds of -binutils and GCC. - - A recent linker patch must be installed for the correct operation of -GCC 3.3 and later. `PHSS_26559' and `PHSS_24304' are the oldest linker -patches that are known to work. They are for HP-UX 11.00 and 11.11, -respectively. `PHSS_24303', the companion to `PHSS_24304', might be -usable but it hasn't been tested. These patches have been superseded. -Consult the HP patch database to obtain the currently recommended -linker patch for your system. - - The patches are necessary for the support of weak symbols on the -32-bit port, and for the running of initializers and finalizers. Weak -symbols are implemented using SOM secondary definition symbols. Prior -to HP-UX 11, there are bugs in the linker support for secondary symbols. -The patches correct a problem of linker core dumps creating shared -libraries containing secondary symbols, as well as various other -linking issues involving secondary symbols. - - GCC 3.3 uses the ELF DT_INIT_ARRAY and DT_FINI_ARRAY capabilities to -run initializers and finalizers on the 64-bit port. The 32-bit port -uses the linker `+init' and `+fini' options for the same purpose. The -patches correct various problems with the +init/+fini options, -including program core dumps. Binutils 2.14 corrects a problem on the -64-bit port resulting from HP's non-standard use of the .init and .fini -sections for array initializers and finalizers. - - Although the HP and GNU linkers are both supported for the -`hppa64-hp-hpux11*' target, it is strongly recommended that the HP -linker be used for link editing on this target. - - At this time, the GNU linker does not support the creation of long -branch stubs. As a result, it can't successfully link binaries -containing branch offsets larger than 8 megabytes. In addition, there -are problems linking shared libraries, linking executables with -`-static', and with dwarf2 unwind and exception support. It also -doesn't provide stubs for internal calls to global functions in shared -libraries, so these calls can't be overloaded. - - The HP dynamic loader does not support GNU symbol versioning, so -symbol versioning is not supported. It may be necessary to disable -symbol versioning with `--disable-symvers' when using GNU ld. - - POSIX threads are the default. The optional DCE thread library is -not supported, so `--enable-threads=dce' does not work. - -*-*-linux-gnu -============= - -Versions of libstdc++-v3 starting with 3.2.1 require bug fixes present -in glibc 2.2.5 and later. More information is available in the -libstdc++-v3 documentation. - -i?86-*-linux* -============= - -As of GCC 3.3, binutils 2.13.1 or later is required for this platform. -See bug 10877 for more information. - - If you receive Signal 11 errors when building on GNU/Linux, then it -is possible you have a hardware problem. Further information on this -can be found on www.bitwizard.nl. - -i?86-*-solaris2.10 -================== - -Use this for Solaris 10 or later on x86 and x86-64 systems. This -configuration is supported by GCC 4.0 and later versions only. - - It is recommended that you configure GCC to use the GNU assembler in -`/usr/sfw/bin/gas' but the Sun linker, using the options `--with-gnu-as ---with-as=/usr/sfw/bin/gas --without-gnu-ld --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld'. - -ia64-*-linux -============ - -IA-64 processor (also known as IPF, or Itanium Processor Family) -running GNU/Linux. - - If you are using the installed system libunwind library with -`--with-system-libunwind', then you must use libunwind 0.98 or later. - - None of the following versions of GCC has an ABI that is compatible -with any of the other versions in this list, with the exception that -Red Hat 2.96 and Trillian 000171 are compatible with each other: 3.1, -3.0.2, 3.0.1, 3.0, Red Hat 2.96, and Trillian 000717. This primarily -affects C++ programs and programs that create shared libraries. GCC -3.1 or later is recommended for compiling linux, the kernel. As of -version 3.1 GCC is believed to be fully ABI compliant, and hence no -more major ABI changes are expected. - -ia64-*-hpux* -============ - -Building GCC on this target requires the GNU Assembler. The bundled HP -assembler will not work. To prevent GCC from using the wrong assembler, -the option `--with-gnu-as' may be necessary. - - The GCC libunwind library has not been ported to HPUX. This means -that for GCC versions 3.2.3 and earlier, `--enable-libunwind-exceptions' -is required to build GCC. For GCC 3.3 and later, this is the default. -For gcc 3.4.3 and later, `--enable-libunwind-exceptions' is removed and -the system libunwind library will always be used. - -*-ibm-aix* -========== - -Support for AIX version 3 and older was discontinued in GCC 3.4. - - "out of memory" bootstrap failures may indicate a problem with -process resource limits (ulimit). Hard limits are configured in the -`/etc/security/limits' system configuration file. - - To speed up the configuration phases of bootstrapping and installing -GCC, one may use GNU Bash instead of AIX `/bin/sh', e.g., - - % CONFIG_SHELL=/opt/freeware/bin/bash - % export CONFIG_SHELL - - and then proceed as described in the build instructions, where we -strongly recommend specifying an absolute path to invoke -SRCDIR/configure. - - Because GCC on AIX is built as a 32-bit executable by default, -(although it can generate 64-bit programs) the GMP and MPFR libraries -required by gfortran must be 32-bit libraries. Building GMP and MPFR -as static archive libraries works better than shared libraries. - - Errors involving `alloca' when building GCC generally are due to an -incorrect definition of `CC' in the Makefile or mixing files compiled -with the native C compiler and GCC. During the stage1 phase of the -build, the native AIX compiler *must* be invoked as `cc' (not `xlc'). -Once `configure' has been informed of `xlc', one needs to use `make -distclean' to remove the configure cache files and ensure that `CC' -environment variable does not provide a definition that will confuse -`configure'. If this error occurs during stage2 or later, then the -problem most likely is the version of Make (see above). - - The native `as' and `ld' are recommended for bootstrapping on AIX 4 -and required for bootstrapping on AIX 5L. The GNU Assembler reports -that it supports WEAK symbols on AIX 4, which causes GCC to try to -utilize weak symbol functionality although it is not supported. The GNU -Assembler and Linker do not support AIX 5L sufficiently to bootstrap -GCC. The native AIX tools do interoperate with GCC. - - Building `libstdc++.a' requires a fix for an AIX Assembler bug APAR -IY26685 (AIX 4.3) or APAR IY25528 (AIX 5.1). It also requires a fix -for another AIX Assembler bug and a co-dependent AIX Archiver fix -referenced as APAR IY53606 (AIX 5.2) or a APAR IY54774 (AIX 5.1) - - `libstdc++' in GCC 3.4 increments the major version number of the -shared object and GCC installation places the `libstdc++.a' shared -library in a common location which will overwrite the and GCC 3.3 -version of the shared library. Applications either need to be -re-linked against the new shared library or the GCC 3.1 and GCC 3.3 -versions of the `libstdc++' shared object needs to be available to the -AIX runtime loader. The GCC 3.1 `libstdc++.so.4', if present, and GCC -3.3 `libstdc++.so.5' shared objects can be installed for runtime -dynamic loading using the following steps to set the `F_LOADONLY' flag -in the shared object for _each_ multilib `libstdc++.a' installed: - - Extract the shared objects from the currently installed -`libstdc++.a' archive: - % ar -x libstdc++.a libstdc++.so.4 libstdc++.so.5 - - Enable the `F_LOADONLY' flag so that the shared object will be -available for runtime dynamic loading, but not linking: - % strip -e libstdc++.so.4 libstdc++.so.5 - - Archive the runtime-only shared object in the GCC 3.4 `libstdc++.a' -archive: - % ar -q libstdc++.a libstdc++.so.4 libstdc++.so.5 - - Linking executables and shared libraries may produce warnings of -duplicate symbols. The assembly files generated by GCC for AIX always -have included multiple symbol definitions for certain global variable -and function declarations in the original program. The warnings should -not prevent the linker from producing a correct library or runnable -executable. - - AIX 4.3 utilizes a "large format" archive to support both 32-bit and -64-bit object modules. The routines provided in AIX 4.3.0 and AIX 4.3.1 -to parse archive libraries did not handle the new format correctly. -These routines are used by GCC and result in error messages during -linking such as "not a COFF file". The version of the routines shipped -with AIX 4.3.1 should work for a 32-bit environment. The `-g' option -of the archive command may be used to create archives of 32-bit objects -using the original "small format". A correct version of the routines -is shipped with AIX 4.3.2 and above. - - Some versions of the AIX binder (linker) can fail with a relocation -overflow severe error when the `-bbigtoc' option is used to link -GCC-produced object files into an executable that overflows the TOC.

Compilers and -assemblers use NLS to support locale-specific representations of -various data formats including floating-point numbers (e.g., `.' vs -`,' for separating decimal fractions). There have been problems -reported where GCC does not produce the same floating-point formats -that the assembler expects. If one encounters this problem, set the -`LANG' environment variable to `C' or `En_US'. - - By default, GCC for AIX 4.1 and above produces code that can be used -on both Power or PowerPC processors. - - A default can be specified with the `-mcpu=CPU_TYPE' switch and -using the configure option `--with-cpu-CPU_TYPE'. - -iq2000-*-elf -============ - -Vitesse IQ2000 processors. These are used in embedded applications. -There are no standard Unix configurations. - -m32c-*-elf -========== - -Renesas M32C processor. This configuration is intended for embedded -systems. - -m32r-*-elf -========== - -Renesas M32R processor. This configuration is intended for embedded -systems. - -m6811-elf -========= - -Motorola 68HC11 family micro controllers. These are used in embedded -applications. There are no standard Unix configurations. - -m6812-elf -========= - -Motorola 68HC12 family micro controllers. These are used in embedded -applications. There are no standard Unix configurations. - -m68k-*-* -======== - -By default, `m68k-*-aout', `m68k-*-coff*', `m68k-*-elf*', -`m68k-*-rtems', `m68k-*-uclinux' and `m68k-*-linux' build libraries -for both M680x0 and ColdFire processors. If you only need the M680x0 -libraries, you can omit the ColdFire ones by passing `--with-arch=m68k' -to `configure'. Alternatively, you can omit the M680x0 libraries by -passing `--with-arch=cf' to `configure'. These targets default to 5206 -or 5475 code as appropriate for the target system when configured with -`--with-arch=cf' and 68020 code otherwise. - - The `m68k-*-netbsd' and `m68k-*-openbsd' targets also support the -`--with-arch' option. They will generate ColdFire CFV4e code when -configured with `--with-arch=cf' and 68020 code otherwise. - - You can override the default processors listed above by configuring -with `--with-cpu=TARGET'. This TARGET can either be a `-mcpu' argument -or one of the following values: `m68000', `m68010', `m68020', `m68030', -`m68040', `m68060', `m68020-40' and `m68020-60'. - -m68k-*-uclinux -============== - -GCC 4.3 changed the uClinux configuration so that it uses the -`m68k-linux-gnu' ABI rather than the `m68k-elf' ABI. It also added -improved support for C++ and flat shared libraries, both of which were -ABI changes. However, you can still use the original ABI by -configuring for `m68k-uclinuxoldabi' or `m68k-VENDOR-uclinuxoldabi'. - -mips-*-* -======== - -If on a MIPS system you get an error message saying "does not have gp -sections for all it's [sic] sectons [sic]", don't worry about it. This -happens whenever you use GAS with the MIPS linker, but there is not -really anything wrong, and it is okay to use the output file. You can -stop such warnings by installing the GNU linker. - - It would be nice to extend GAS to produce the gp tables, but they are -optional, and there should not be a warning about their absence. - - The libstdc++ atomic locking routines for MIPS targets requires MIPS -II and later. A patch went in just after the GCC 3.3 release to make -`mips*-*-*' use the generic implementation instead. You can also -configure for `mipsel-elf' as a workaround. The `mips*-*-linux*' -target continues to use the MIPS II routines. More work on this is -expected in future releases. - - The built-in `__sync_*' functions are available on MIPS II and later -systems and others that support the `ll', `sc' and `sync' instructions. -This can be overridden by passing `--with-llsc' or `--without-llsc' -when configuring GCC. Since the Linux kernel emulates these -instructions if they are missing, the default for `mips*-*-linux*' -targets is `--with-llsc'. The `--with-llsc' and `--without-llsc' -configure options may be overridden at compile time by passing the -`-mllsc' or `-mno-llsc' options to the compiler. - - MIPS systems check for division by zero (unless -`-mno-check-zero-division' is passed to the compiler) by generating -either a conditional trap or a break instruction. Using trap results -in smaller code, but is only supported on MIPS II and later. Also, -some versions of the Linux kernel have a bug that prevents trap from -generating the proper signal (`SIGFPE'). To enable the use of break, -use the `--with-divide=breaks' `configure' option when configuring GCC. -The default is to use traps on systems that support them. - - Cross-compilers for the MIPS as target using the MIPS assembler -currently do not work, because the auxiliary programs `mips-tdump.c' -and `mips-tfile.c' can't be compiled on anything but a MIPS. It does -work to cross compile for a MIPS if you use the GNU assembler and -linker. - - The assembler from GNU binutils 2.17 and earlier has a bug in the way -it sorts relocations for REL targets (o32, o64, EABI). This can cause -bad code to be generated for simple C++ programs. Also the linker from -GNU binutils versions prior to 2.17 has a bug which causes the runtime -linker stubs in very large programs, like `libgcj.so', to be -incorrectly generated. GNU Binutils 2.18 and later (and snapshots made -after Nov. 9, 2006) should be free from both of these problems. - -mips-sgi-irix5 -============== - -In order to compile GCC on an SGI running IRIX 5, the `compiler_dev.hdr' -subsystem must be installed from the IDO CD-ROM supplied by SGI. It is -also available for download from -`ftp://ftp.sgi.com/sgi/IRIX5.3/iris-development-option-5.3.tardist'. - - If you use the MIPS C compiler to bootstrap, it may be necessary to -increase its table size for switch statements with the `-Wf,-XNg1500' -option. If you use the `-O2' optimization option, you also need to use -`-Olimit 3000'. - - To enable debugging under IRIX 5, you must use GNU binutils 2.15 or -later, and use the `--with-gnu-ld' `configure' option when configuring -GCC. You need to use GNU `ar' and `nm', also distributed with GNU -binutils. - - Some users have reported that `/bin/sh' will hang during bootstrap. -This problem can be avoided by running the commands: - - % CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh - % export CONFIG_SHELL - - before starting the build. - -mips-sgi-irix6 -============== - -If you are using SGI's MIPSpro `cc' as your bootstrap compiler, you must -ensure that the N32 ABI is in use. To test this, compile a simple C -file with `cc' and then run `file' on the resulting object file. The -output should look like: - - test.o: ELF N32 MSB ... - - If you see: - - test.o: ELF 32-bit MSB ... - - or - - test.o: ELF 64-bit MSB ... - - then your version of `cc' uses the O32 or N64 ABI by default. You -should set the environment variable `CC' to `cc -n32' before -configuring GCC. - - If you want the resulting `gcc' to run on old 32-bit systems with -the MIPS R4400 CPU, you need to ensure that only code for the `mips3' -instruction set architecture (ISA) is generated. While GCC 3.x does -this correctly, both GCC 2.95 and SGI's MIPSpro `cc' may change the ISA -depending on the machine where GCC is built. Using one of them as the -bootstrap compiler may result in `mips4' code, which won't run at all -on `mips3'-only systems. For the test program above, you should see: - - test.o: ELF N32 MSB mips-3 ... - - If you get: - - test.o: ELF N32 MSB mips-4 ... - - instead, you should set the environment variable `CC' to `cc -n32 --mips3' or `gcc -mips3' respectively before configuring GCC. - - MIPSpro C 7.4 may cause bootstrap failures, due to a bug when -inlining `memcmp'. Either add `-U__INLINE_INTRINSICS' to the `CC' -environment variable as a workaround or upgrade to MIPSpro C 7.4.1m. - - GCC on IRIX 6 is usually built to support the N32, O32 and N64 ABIs. -If you build GCC on a system that doesn't have the N64 libraries -installed or cannot run 64-bit binaries, you need to configure with -`--disable-multilib' so GCC doesn't try to use them. This will disable -building the O32 libraries, too. Look for `/usr/lib64/libc.so.1' to -see if you have the 64-bit libraries installed. - - To enable debugging for the O32 ABI, you must use GNU `as' from GNU -binutils 2.15 or later. You may also use GNU `ld', but this is not -required and currently causes some problems with Ada. - - The `--enable-libgcj' option is disabled by default: IRIX 6 uses a -very low default limit (20480) for the command line length. Although -`libtool' contains a workaround for this problem, at least the N64 -`libgcj' is known not to build despite this, running into an internal -error of the native `ld'. A sure fix is to increase this limit -(`ncargs') to its maximum of 262144 bytes. If you have root access, -you can use the `systune' command to do this. - - `wchar_t' support in `libstdc++' is not available for old IRIX 6.5.x -releases, x < 19. The problem cannot be autodetected and in order to -build GCC for such targets you need to configure with -`--disable-wchar_t'. - - See `http://freeware.sgi.com/' for more information about using GCC -on IRIX platforms. - -powerpc-*-* -=========== - -You can specify a default version for the `-mcpu=CPU_TYPE' switch by -using the configure option `--with-cpu-CPU_TYPE'. - - You will need binutils 2.15 or newer for a working GCC. - -powerpc-*-darwin* -================= - -PowerPC running Darwin (Mac OS X kernel). - - Pre-installed versions of Mac OS X may not include any developer -tools, meaning that you will not be able to build GCC from source. Tool -binaries are available at -`http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/compiler/' (free -registration required). - - This version of GCC requires at least cctools-590.36. The -cctools-590.36 package referenced from -`http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2006-03/msg00507.html' will not work on -systems older than 10.3.9 (aka darwin7.9.0). - -powerpc-*-elf -============= - -PowerPC system in big endian mode, running System V.4. - -powerpc*-*-linux-gnu* -===================== - -PowerPC system in big endian mode running Linux. - -powerpc-*-netbsd* -================= - -PowerPC system in big endian mode running NetBSD. - -powerpc-*-eabisim -================= - -Embedded PowerPC system in big endian mode for use in running under the -PSIM simulator. - -powerpc-*-eabi -============== - -Embedded PowerPC system in big endian mode. - -powerpcle-*-elf -=============== - -PowerPC system in little endian mode, running System V.4. - -powerpcle-*-eabisim -=================== - -Embedded PowerPC system in little endian mode for use in running under -the PSIM simulator. - -powerpcle-*-eabi -================ - -Embedded PowerPC system in little endian mode. - -s390-*-linux* -============= - -S/390 system running GNU/Linux for S/390. - -s390x-*-linux* -============== - -zSeries system (64-bit) running GNU/Linux for zSeries. - -s390x-ibm-tpf* -============== - -zSeries system (64-bit) running TPF. This platform is supported as -cross-compilation target only. - -*-*-solaris2* -============= - -Sun does not ship a C compiler with Solaris 2. To bootstrap and install -GCC you first have to install a pre-built compiler, see the binaries -page for details. - - The Solaris 2 `/bin/sh' will often fail to configure `libstdc++-v3', -`boehm-gc' or `libjava'. We therefore recommend using the following -initial sequence of commands - - % CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh - % export CONFIG_SHELL - - and proceed as described in the configure instructions. In addition -we strongly recommend specifying an absolute path to invoke -SRCDIR/configure. - - Solaris 2 comes with a number of optional OS packages. Some of these -are needed to use GCC fully, namely `SUNWarc', `SUNWbtool', `SUNWesu', -`SUNWhea', `SUNWlibm', `SUNWsprot', and `SUNWtoo'. If you did not -install all optional packages when installing Solaris 2, you will need -to verify that the packages that GCC needs are installed. - - To check whether an optional package is installed, use the `pkginfo' -command. To add an optional package, use the `pkgadd' command. For -further details, see the Solaris 2 documentation. - - Trying to use the linker and other tools in `/usr/ucb' to install -GCC has been observed to cause trouble. For example, the linker may -hang indefinitely. The fix is to remove `/usr/ucb' from your `PATH'. - - The build process works more smoothly with the legacy Sun tools so, -if you have `/usr/xpg4/bin' in your `PATH', we recommend that you place -`/usr/bin' before `/usr/xpg4/bin' for the duration of the build. - - We recommend the use of GNU binutils 2.14 or later, or the vendor -tools (Sun `as', Sun `ld'). Note that your mileage may vary if you use -a combination of the GNU tools and the Sun tools: while the combination -GNU `as' + Sun `ld' should reasonably work, the reverse combination Sun -`as' + GNU `ld' is known to cause memory corruption at runtime in some -cases for C++ programs. - - The stock GNU binutils 2.15 release is broken on this platform -because of a single bug. It has been fixed on the 2.15 branch in the -CVS repository. You can obtain a working version by checking out the -binutils-2_15-branch from the CVS repository or applying the patch -`http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2004-09/msg00036.html' to the -release. - - We recommend the use of GNU binutils 2.16 or later in conjunction -with GCC 4.x, or the vendor tools (Sun `as', Sun `ld'). However, for -Solaris 10 and above, an additional patch is required in order for the -GNU linker to be able to cope with a new flavor of shared libraries. -You can obtain a working version by checking out the -binutils-2_16-branch from the CVS repository or applying the patch -`http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2005-07/msg00122.html' to the -release. - - Sun bug 4296832 turns up when compiling X11 headers with GCC 2.95 or -newer: `g++' will complain that types are missing. These headers -assume that omitting the type means `int'; this assumption worked for -C89 but is wrong for C++, and is now wrong for C99 also. - - `g++' accepts such (invalid) constructs with the option -`-fpermissive'; it will assume that any missing type is `int' (as -defined by C89). - - There are patches for Solaris 7 (108376-21 or newer for SPARC, -108377-20 for Intel), and Solaris 8 (108652-24 or newer for SPARC, -108653-22 for Intel) that fix this bug. - - Sun bug 4927647 sometimes causes random spurious testsuite failures -related to missing diagnostic output. This bug doesn't affect GCC -itself, rather it is a kernel bug triggered by the `expect' program -which is used only by the GCC testsuite driver. When the bug causes -the `expect' program to miss anticipated output, extra testsuite -failures appear. - - There are patches for Solaris 8 (117350-12 or newer for SPARC, -117351-12 or newer for Intel) and Solaris 9 (117171-11 or newer for -SPARC, 117172-11 or newer for Intel) that address this problem. - -sparc-sun-solaris2* -=================== - -When GCC is configured to use binutils 2.14 or later the binaries -produced are smaller than the ones produced using Sun's native tools; -this difference is quite significant for binaries containing debugging -information. - - Starting with Solaris 7, the operating system is capable of executing -64-bit SPARC V9 binaries. GCC 3.1 and later properly supports this; -the `-m64' option enables 64-bit code generation. However, if all you -want is code tuned for the UltraSPARC CPU, you should try the -`-mtune=ultrasparc' option instead, which produces code that, unlike -full 64-bit code, can still run on non-UltraSPARC machines. - - When configuring on a Solaris 7 or later system that is running a -kernel that supports only 32-bit binaries, one must configure with -`--disable-multilib', since we will not be able to build the 64-bit -target libraries. - - GCC 3.3 and GCC 3.4 trigger code generation bugs in earlier versions -of the GNU compiler (especially GCC 3.0.x versions), which lead to the -miscompilation of the stage1 compiler and the subsequent failure of the -bootstrap process. A workaround is to use GCC 3.2.3 as an intermediary -stage, i.e. to bootstrap that compiler with the base compiler and then -use it to bootstrap the final compiler. - - GCC 3.4 triggers a code generation bug in versions 5.4 (Sun ONE -Studio 7) and 5.5 (Sun ONE Studio 8) of the Sun compiler, which causes -a bootstrap failure in form of a miscompilation of the stage1 compiler -by the Sun compiler. This is Sun bug 4974440. This is fixed with -patch 112760-07. - - GCC 3.4 changed the default debugging format from STABS to DWARF-2 -for 32-bit code on Solaris 7 and later. If you use the Sun assembler, -this change apparently runs afoul of Sun bug 4910101 (which is -referenced as a x86-only problem by Sun, probably because they do not -use DWARF-2). A symptom of the problem is that you cannot compile C++ -programs like `groff' 1.19.1 without getting messages similar to the -following: - - ld: warning: relocation error: R_SPARC_UA32: ... - external symbolic relocation against non-allocatable section - .debug_info cannot be processed at runtime: relocation ignored. - - To work around this problem, compile with `-gstabs+' instead of -plain `-g'. - - When configuring the GNU Multiple Precision Library (GMP) or the MPFR -library on a Solaris 7 or later system, the canonical target triplet -must be specified as the `build' parameter on the configure line. This -triplet can be obtained by invoking ./config.guess in the toplevel -source directory of GCC (and not that of GMP or MPFR). For example on -a Solaris 7 system: - - % ./configure --build=sparc-sun-solaris2.7 --prefix=xxx - -sparc-sun-solaris2.7 -==================== - -Sun patch 107058-01 (1999-01-13) for Solaris 7/SPARC triggers a bug in -the dynamic linker. This problem (Sun bug 4210064) affects GCC 2.8 and -later, including all EGCS releases. Sun formerly recommended 107058-01 -for all Solaris 7 users, but around 1999-09-01 it started to recommend -it only for people who use Sun's compilers. - - Here are some workarounds to this problem: - * Do not install Sun patch 107058-01 until after Sun releases a - complete patch for bug 4210064. This is the simplest course to - take, unless you must also use Sun's C compiler. Unfortunately - 107058-01 is preinstalled on some new Solaris 7-based hosts, so - you may have to back it out. - - * Copy the original, unpatched Solaris 7 `/usr/ccs/bin/as' into - `/usr/local/libexec/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/3.4/as', adjusting - the latter name to fit your local conventions and software version - numbers. - - * Install Sun patch 106950-03 (1999-05-25) or later. Nobody with - both 107058-01 and 106950-03 installed has reported the bug with - GCC and Sun's dynamic linker. This last course of action is - riskiest, for two reasons. First, you must install 106950 on all - hosts that run code generated by GCC; it doesn't suffice to - install it only on the hosts that run GCC itself. Second, Sun - says that 106950-03 is only a partial fix for bug 4210064, but Sun - doesn't know whether the partial fix is adequate for GCC. - Revision -08 or later should fix the bug. The current (as of - 2004-05-23) revision is -24, and is included in the Solaris 7 - Recommended Patch Cluster. - - GCC 3.3 triggers a bug in version 5.0 Alpha 03/27/98 of the Sun -assembler, which causes a bootstrap failure when linking the 64-bit -shared version of libgcc. A typical error message is: - - ld: fatal: relocation error: R_SPARC_32: file libgcc/sparcv9/_muldi3.o: - symbol : offset 0xffffffff7ec133e7 is non-aligned. - - This bug has been fixed in the final 5.0 version of the assembler. - - A similar problem was reported for version Sun WorkShop 6 99/08/18 -of the Sun assembler, which causes a bootstrap failure with GCC 4.0.0: - - ld: fatal: relocation error: R_SPARC_DISP32: - file .libs/libstdc++.lax/libsupc++convenience.a/vterminate.o: - symbol : offset 0xfccd33ad is non-aligned - - This bug has been fixed in more recent revisions of the assembler. - -sparc-*-linux* -============== - -GCC versions 3.0 and higher require binutils 2.11.2 and glibc 2.2.4 or -newer on this platform. All earlier binutils and glibc releases -mishandled unaligned relocations on `sparc-*-*' targets. - -sparc64-*-solaris2* -=================== - -When configuring the GNU Multiple Precision Library (GMP) or the MPFR -library, the canonical target triplet must be specified as the `build' -parameter on the configure line. For example on a Solaris 7 system: - - % ./configure --build=sparc64-sun-solaris2.7 --prefix=xxx - - The following compiler flags must be specified in the configure step -in order to bootstrap this target with the Sun compiler: - - % CC="cc -xarch=v9 -xildoff" SRCDIR/configure [OPTIONS] [TARGET] - - `-xarch=v9' specifies the SPARC-V9 architecture to the Sun toolchain -and `-xildoff' turns off the incremental linker. - -sparcv9-*-solaris2* -=================== - -This is a synonym for sparc64-*-solaris2*. - -*-*-vxworks* -============ - -Support for VxWorks is in flux. At present GCC supports _only_ the -very recent VxWorks 5.5 (aka Tornado 2.2) release, and only on PowerPC. -We welcome patches for other architectures supported by VxWorks 5.5. -Support for VxWorks AE would also be welcome; we believe this is merely -a matter of writing an appropriate "configlette" (see below). We are -not interested in supporting older, a.out or COFF-based, versions of -VxWorks in GCC 3. - - VxWorks comes with an older version of GCC installed in -`$WIND_BASE/host'; we recommend you do not overwrite it. Choose an -installation PREFIX entirely outside $WIND_BASE. Before running -`configure', create the directories `PREFIX' and `PREFIX/bin'. Link or -copy the appropriate assembler, linker, etc. into `PREFIX/bin', and set -your PATH to include that directory while running both `configure' and -`make'. - - You must give `configure' the `--with-headers=$WIND_BASE/target/h' -switch so that it can find the VxWorks system headers. Since VxWorks -is a cross compilation target only, you must also specify -`--target=TARGET'. `configure' will attempt to create the directory -`PREFIX/TARGET/sys-include' and copy files into it; make sure the user -running `configure' has sufficient privilege to do so. - - GCC's exception handling runtime requires a special "configlette" -module, `contrib/gthr_supp_vxw_5x.c'. Follow the instructions in that -file to add the module to your kernel build. (Future versions of -VxWorks will incorporate this module.) - -x86_64-*-*, amd64-*-* -===================== - -GCC supports the x86-64 architecture implemented by the AMD64 processor -(amd64-*-* is an alias for x86_64-*-*) on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD. -On GNU/Linux the default is a bi-arch compiler which is able to generate -both 64-bit x86-64 and 32-bit x86 code (via the `-m32' switch). - -xtensa*-*-elf -============= - -This target is intended for embedded Xtensa systems using the `newlib' -C library. It uses ELF but does not support shared objects. -Designed-defined instructions specified via the Tensilica Instruction -Extension (TIE) language are only supported through inline assembly. - - The Xtensa configuration information must be specified prior to -building GCC. The `include/xtensa-config.h' header file contains the -configuration information. If you created your own Xtensa -configuration with the Xtensa Processor Generator, the downloaded files -include a customized copy of this header file, which you can use to -replace the default header file. - -xtensa*-*-linux* -================ - -This target is for Xtensa systems running GNU/Linux. It supports ELF -shared objects and the GNU C library (glibc). It also generates -position-independent code (PIC) regardless of whether the `-fpic' or -`-fPIC' options are used. In other respects, this target is the same -as the `xtensa*-*-elf' target. - -Microsoft Windows -================= - -Intel 16-bit versions ---------------------- - -The 16-bit versions of Microsoft Windows, such as Windows 3.1, are not -supported. - - However, the 32-bit port has limited support for Microsoft Windows -3.11 in the Win32s environment, as a target only. See below. - -Intel 32-bit versions ---------------------- - -The 32-bit versions of Windows, including Windows 95, Windows NT, -Windows XP, and Windows Vista, are supported by several different target -platforms. These targets differ in which Windows subsystem they target -and which C libraries are used. - - * Cygwin *-*-cygwin: Cygwin provides a user-space Linux API - emulation layer in the Win32 subsystem. - - * Interix *-*-interix: The Interix subsystem provides native support - for POSIX. - - * MinGW *-*-mingw: MinGW is a native GCC port for the Win32 - subsystem that provides a subset of POSIX. - - * MKS i386-pc-mks: NuTCracker from MKS. See - `http://www.mkssoftware.com/' for more information. - -Intel 64-bit versions ---------------------- - -GCC contains support for x86-64 using the mingw-w64 runtime library, -available from `http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/'. This library -should be used with the target triple x86_64-pc-mingw32. - - Presently Windows for Itanium is not supported. - -Windows CE ----------- - -Windows CE is supported as a target only on ARM (arm-wince-pe), Hitachi -SuperH (sh-wince-pe), and MIPS (mips-wince-pe). - -Other Windows Platforms ------------------------ - -GCC no longer supports Windows NT on the Alpha or PowerPC. - - GCC no longer supports the Windows POSIX subsystem. However, it does -support the Interix subsystem. See above. - - Old target names including *-*-winnt and *-*-windowsnt are no longer -used. - - PW32 (i386-pc-pw32) support was never completed, and the project -seems to be inactive. See `http://pw32.sourceforge.net/' for more -information. - - UWIN support has been removed due to a lack of maintenance. - -*-*-cygwin -========== - -Ports of GCC are included with the Cygwin environment. - - GCC will build under Cygwin without modification; it does not build -with Microsoft's C++ compiler and there are no plans to make it do so. - - Cygwin can be compiled with i?86-pc-cygwin. - -*-*-interix -=========== - -The Interix target is used by OpenNT, Interix, Services For UNIX (SFU), -and Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications (SUA). Applications compiled -with this target run in the Interix subsystem, which is separate from -the Win32 subsystem. This target was last known to work in GCC 3.3. - - For more information, see `http://www.interix.com/'. - -*-*-mingw32 -=========== - -GCC will build with and support only MinGW runtime 3.12 and later. -Earlier versions of headers are incompatible with the new default -semantics of `extern inline' in `-std=c99' and `-std=gnu99' modes. - -OS/2 -==== - -GCC does not currently support OS/2. However, Andrew Zabolotny has been -working on a generic OS/2 port with pgcc. The current code can be found -at http://www.goof.com/pcg/os2/. - -Older systems -============= - -GCC contains support files for many older (1980s and early 1990s) Unix -variants. For the most part, support for these systems has not been -deliberately removed, but it has not been maintained for several years -and may suffer from bitrot. - - Starting with GCC 3.1, each release has a list of "obsoleted" -systems. Support for these systems is still present in that release, -but `configure' will fail unless the `--enable-obsolete' option is -given. Unless a maintainer steps forward, support for these systems -will be removed from the next release of GCC. - - Support for old systems as hosts for GCC can cause problems if the -workarounds for compiler, library and operating system bugs affect the -cleanliness or maintainability of the rest of GCC. In some cases, to -bring GCC up on such a system, if still possible with current GCC, may -require first installing an old version of GCC which did work on that -system, and using it to compile a more recent GCC, to avoid bugs in the -vendor compiler. Old releases of GCC 1 and GCC 2 are available in the -`old-releases' directory on the GCC mirror sites. Header bugs may -generally be avoided using `fixincludes', but bugs or deficiencies in -libraries and the operating system may still cause problems. - - Support for older systems as targets for cross-compilation is less -problematic than support for them as hosts for GCC; if an enthusiast -wishes to make such a target work again (including resurrecting any of -the targets that never worked with GCC 2, starting from the last -version before they were removed), patches following the usual -requirements would be likely to be accepted, since they should not -affect the support for more modern targets. - - For some systems, old versions of GNU binutils may also be useful, -and are available from `pub/binutils/old-releases' on sourceware.org -mirror sites. - - Some of the information on specific systems above relates to such -older systems, but much of the information about GCC on such systems -(which may no longer be applicable to current GCC) is to be found in -the GCC texinfo manual. - -all ELF targets (SVR4, Solaris 2, etc.) -======================================= - -C++ support is significantly better on ELF targets if you use the GNU -linker; duplicate copies of inlines, vtables and template -instantiations will be discarded automatically. - - -File: gccinstall.info, Node: Old, Next: GNU Free Documentation License, Prev: Specific, Up: Top - -10 Old installation documentation -********************************* - - Note most of this information is out of date and superseded by the -previous chapters of this manual. It is provided for historical -reference only, because of a lack of volunteers to merge it into the -main manual. - -* Menu: - -* Configurations:: Configurations Supported by GCC. - - Here is the procedure for installing GCC on a GNU or Unix system. - - 1. If you have chosen a configuration for GCC which requires other GNU - tools (such as GAS or the GNU linker) instead of the standard - system tools, install the required tools in the build directory - under the names `as', `ld' or whatever is appropriate. - - Alternatively, you can do subsequent compilation using a value of - the `PATH' environment variable such that the necessary GNU tools - come before the standard system tools. - - 2. Specify the host, build and target machine configurations. You do - this when you run the `configure' script. - - The "build" machine is the system which you are using, the "host" - machine is the system where you want to run the resulting compiler - (normally the build machine), and the "target" machine is the - system for which you want the compiler to generate code. - - If you are building a compiler to produce code for the machine it - runs on (a native compiler), you normally do not need to specify - any operands to `configure'; it will try to guess the type of - machine you are on and use that as the build, host and target - machines. So you don't need to specify a configuration when - building a native compiler unless `configure' cannot figure out - what your configuration is or guesses wrong. - - In those cases, specify the build machine's "configuration name" - with the `--host' option; the host and target will default to be - the same as the host machine. - - Here is an example: - - ./configure --host=sparc-sun-sunos4.1 - - A configuration name may be canonical or it may be more or less - abbreviated. - - A canonical configuration name has three parts, separated by - dashes. It looks like this: `CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM'. (The three - parts may themselves contain dashes; `configure' can figure out - which dashes serve which purpose.) For example, - `m68k-sun-sunos4.1' specifies a Sun 3. - - You can also replace parts of the configuration by nicknames or - aliases. For example, `sun3' stands for `m68k-sun', so - `sun3-sunos4.1' is another way to specify a Sun 3. - - You can specify a version number after any of the system types, - and some of the CPU types. In most cases, the version is - irrelevant, and will be ignored. So you might as well specify the - version if you know it. - - See *note Configurations::, for a list of supported configuration - names and notes on many of the configurations. You should check - the notes in that section before proceeding any further with the - installation of GCC. - - - -File: gccinstall.info, Node: Configurations, Up: Old - -10.1 Configurations Supported by GCC -==================================== - - Here are the possible CPU types: - - 1750a, a29k, alpha, arm, avr, cN, clipper, dsp16xx, elxsi, fr30, - h8300, hppa1.0, hppa1.1, i370, i386, i486, i586, i686, i786, i860, - i960, ip2k, m32r, m68000, m68k, m6811, m6812, m88k, mcore, mips, - mipsel, mips64, mips64el, mn10200, mn10300, ns32k, pdp11, powerpc, - powerpcle, romp, rs6000, sh, sparc, sparclite, sparc64, v850, vax, - we32k. - - Here are the recognized company names. As you can see, customary -abbreviations are used rather than the longer official names. - - acorn, alliant, altos, apollo, apple, att, bull, cbm, convergent, - convex, crds, dec, dg, dolphin, elxsi, encore, harris, hitachi, - hp, ibm, intergraph, isi, mips, motorola, ncr, next, ns, omron, - plexus, sequent, sgi, sony, sun, tti, unicom, wrs. - - The company name is meaningful only to disambiguate when the rest of -the information supplied is insufficient. You can omit it, writing -just `CPU-SYSTEM', if it is not needed. For example, `vax-ultrix4.2' -is equivalent to `vax-dec-ultrix4.2'. - - Here is a list of system types: - - 386bsd, aix, acis, amigaos, aos, aout, aux, bosx, bsd, clix, coff, - ctix, cxux, dgux, dynix, ebmon, ecoff, elf, esix, freebsd, hms, - genix, gnu, linux, linux-gnu, hiux, hpux, iris, irix, isc, luna, - lynxos, mach, minix, msdos, mvs, netbsd, newsos, nindy, ns, osf, - osfrose, ptx, riscix, riscos, rtu, sco, sim, solaris, sunos, sym, - sysv, udi, ultrix, unicos, uniplus, unos, vms, vsta, vxworks, - winnt, xenix. - -You can omit the system type; then `configure' guesses the operating -system from the CPU and company. - - You can add a version number to the system type; this may or may not -make a difference. For example, you can write `bsd4.3' or `bsd4.4' to -distinguish versions of BSD. In practice, the version number is most -needed for `sysv3' and `sysv4', which are often treated differently. - - `linux-gnu' is the canonical name for the GNU/Linux target; however -GCC will also accept `linux'. The version of the kernel in use is not -relevant on these systems. A suffix such as `libc1' or `aout' -distinguishes major versions of the C library; all of the suffixed -versions are obsolete. - - If you specify an impossible combination such as `i860-dg-vms', then -you may get an error message from `configure', or it may ignore part of -the information and do the best it can with the rest. `configure' -always prints the canonical name for the alternative that it used. GCC -does not support all possible alternatives. - - Often a particular model of machine has a name. Many machine names -are recognized as aliases for CPU/company combinations. Thus, the -machine name `sun3', mentioned above, is an alias for `m68k-sun'. -Sometimes we accept a company name as a machine name, when the name is -popularly used for a particular machine. Here is a table of the known -machine names: - - 3300, 3b1, 3bN, 7300, altos3068, altos, apollo68, att-7300, - balance, convex-cN, crds, decstation-3100, decstation, delta, - encore, fx2800, gmicro, hp7NN, hp8NN, hp9k2NN, hp9k3NN, hp9k7NN, - hp9k8NN, iris4d, iris, isi68, m3230, magnum, merlin, miniframe, - mmax, news-3600, news800, news, next, pbd, pc532, pmax, powerpc, - powerpcle, ps2, risc-news, rtpc, sun2, sun386i, sun386, sun3, - sun4, symmetry, tower-32, tower. - -Remember that a machine name specifies both the cpu type and the company -name. If you want to install your own homemade configuration files, -you can use `local' as the company name to access them. If you use -configuration `CPU-local', the configuration name without the cpu prefix -is used to form the configuration file names. - - Thus, if you specify `m68k-local', configuration uses files -`m68k.md', `local.h', `m68k.c', `xm-local.h', `t-local', and `x-local', -all in the directory `config/m68k'. - - -File: gccinstall.info, Node: GNU Free Documentation License, Next: Concept Index, Prev: Old, Up: Top - -GNU Free Documentation License -****************************** - - Version 1.2, November 2002 - - Copyright (C) 2000,2001,2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc. - 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA - - Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies - of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. - - 0. PREAMBLE - - The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other - functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to - assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, - with or without modifying it, either commercially or - noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the - author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not - being considered responsible for modifications made by others. - - This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative - works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. - It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft - license designed for free software. - - We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for - free software, because free software needs free documentation: a - free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms - that the software does. But this License is not limited to - software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless - of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. - We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is - instruction or reference. - - 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS - - This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, - that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it - can be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice - grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, - to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The - "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member - of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". You - accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a - way requiring permission under copyright law. - - A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the - Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with - modifications and/or translated into another language. - - A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section - of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the - publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall - subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could - fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document - is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not - explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of - historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or - of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position - regarding them. - - The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose - titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in - the notice that says that the Document is released under this - License. If a section does not fit the above definition of - Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. - The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document - does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none. - - The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are - listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice - that says that the Document is released under this License. A - Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may - be at most 25 words. - - A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, - represented in a format whose specification is available to the - general public, that is suitable for revising the document - straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images - composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some - widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to - text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of - formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an - otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of - markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent - modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is - not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A - copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque". - - Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain - ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, - SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and - standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for - human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include - PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that - can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or - XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally - available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF - produced by some word processors for output purposes only. - - The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, - plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the - material this License requires to appear in the title page. For - works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title - Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the - work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text. - - A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document - whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses - following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ - stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as - "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) - To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the - Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according - to this definition. - - The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice - which states that this License applies to the Document. These - Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in - this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other - implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and - has no effect on the meaning of this License. - - 2. VERBATIM COPYING - - You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either - commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the - copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License - applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you - add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You - may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading - or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, - you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you - distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow - the conditions in section 3. - - You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, - and you may publicly display copies. - - 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY - - If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly - have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and - the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must - enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all - these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and - Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly - and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The - front cover must present the full title with all words of the - title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material - on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the - covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and - satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in - other respects. - - If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit - legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit - reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto - adjacent pages. - - If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document - numbering more than 100, you must either include a - machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or - state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from - which the general network-using public has access to download - using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent - copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the - latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you - begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that - this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated - location until at least one year after the last time you - distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or - retailers) of that edition to the public. - - It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of - the Document well before redistributing any large number of - copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated - version of the Document. - - 4. MODIFICATIONS - - You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document - under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you - release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with - the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus - licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to - whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these - things in the Modified Version: - - A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title - distinct from that of the Document, and from those of - previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed - in the History section of the Document). You may use the - same title as a previous version if the original publisher of - that version gives permission. - - B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or - entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in - the Modified Version, together with at least five of the - principal authors of the Document (all of its principal - authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you - from this requirement. - - C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the - Modified Version, as the publisher. - - D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. - - E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications - adjacent to the other copyright notices. - - F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license - notice giving the public permission to use the Modified - Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in - the Addendum below. - - G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant - Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's - license notice. - - H. Include an unaltered copy of this License. - - I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, - and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new - authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on - the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled "History" in - the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, - and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, - then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in - the previous sentence. - - J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document - for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and - likewise the network locations given in the Document for - previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in - the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a - work that was published at least four years before the - Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version - it refers to gives permission. - - K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", - Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the - section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor - acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein. - - L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, - unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers - or the equivalent are not considered part of the section - titles. - - M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section - may not be included in the Modified Version. - - N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled - "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant - Section. - - O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers. - - If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or - appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no - material copied from the Document, you may at your option - designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, - add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified - Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any - other section titles. - - You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains - nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various - parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text - has been approved by an organization as the authoritative - definition of a standard. - - You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, - and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end - of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one - passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be - added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the - Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, - previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity - you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may - replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous - publisher that added the old one. - - The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this - License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to - assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version. - - 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS - - You may combine the Document with other documents released under - this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for - modified versions, provided that you include in the combination - all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, - unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your - combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all - their Warranty Disclaimers. - - The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and - multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single - copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name - but different contents, make the title of each such section unique - by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the - original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a - unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in - the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the - combined work. - - In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled - "History" in the various original documents, forming one section - Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled - "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You - must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements." - - 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS - - You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other - documents released under this License, and replace the individual - copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy - that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the - rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the - documents in all other respects. - - You may extract a single document from such a collection, and - distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert - a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow - this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of - that document. - - 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS - - A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other - separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of - a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the - copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the - legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual - works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this - License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which - are not themselves derivative works of the Document. - - If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these - copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half - of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed - on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the - electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic - form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket - the whole aggregate. - - 8. TRANSLATION - - Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may - distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section - 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special - permission from their copyright holders, but you may include - translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the - original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a - translation of this License, and all the license notices in the - Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also - include the original English version of this License and the - original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a - disagreement between the translation and the original version of - this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will - prevail. - - If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements", - "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to - Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the - actual title. - - 9. TERMINATION - - You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document - except as expressly provided for under this License. Any other - attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is - void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this - License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, - from you under this License will not have their licenses - terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. - - 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE - - The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of - the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new - versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may - differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See - `http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/'. - - Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version - number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered - version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you - have the option of following the terms and conditions either of - that specified version or of any later version that has been - published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If - the Document does not specify a version number of this License, - you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the - Free Software Foundation. - -ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents -==================================================== - -To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of -the License in the document and put the following copyright and license -notices just after the title page: - - Copyright (C) YEAR YOUR NAME. - Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document - under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 - or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; - with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover - Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU - Free Documentation License''. - - If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover -Texts, replace the "with...Texts." line with this: - - with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with - the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts - being LIST. - - If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other -combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the -situation. - - If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we -recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of -free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to -permit their use in free software. - - -File: gccinstall.info, Node: Concept Index, Prev: GNU Free Documentation License, Up: Top - -Concept Index -************* - -[index] -* Menu: - -* Binaries: Binaries.
