151 | |
152 This document describes the generic installation procedure for GCC as well | |
153 as detailing some target specific installation instructions. | |
154 | |
155 GCC includes several components that previously were separate distributions | |
156 with their own installation instructions. This document supersedes all | |
157 package specific installation instructions. | |
158 | |
159 @emph{Before} starting the build/install procedure please check the | |
160 @ifnothtml | |
161 @ref{Specific, host/target specific installation notes}. | |

163 @ifhtml | |
164 @uref{specific.html,,host/target specific installation notes}. | |
165 @end ifhtml | |
166 We recommend you browse the entire generic installation instructions before | |
167 you proceed. | |
168 | |
169 Lists of successful builds for released versions of GCC are | |
170 available at @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html}. | |
171 These lists are updated as new information becomes available. | |
172 | |
173 The installation procedure itself is broken into five steps. | |

202 Please note that GCC does not support @samp{make uninstall} and probably | |
203 won't do so in the near future as this would open a can of worms. Instead, | |
204 we suggest that you install GCC into a directory of its own and simply | |
205 remove that directory when you do not need that specific version of GCC | |

236 | |
237 GCC requires that various tools and packages be available for use in the | |
238 build procedure. Modifying GCC sources requires additional tools | |
239 described below. | |
240 | |
241 @heading Tools/packages necessary for building GCC | |
242 @table @asis | |
243 @item ISO C90 compiler | |
244 Necessary to bootstrap GCC, although versions of GCC prior | |
245 to 3.4 also allow bootstrapping with a traditional (K&R) C compiler. | |
246 | |
247 To build all languages in a cross-compiler or other configuration where | |
248 3-stage bootstrap is not performed, you need to start with an existing | |
249 GCC binary (version 2.95 or later) because source code for language | |
250 frontends other than C might use GCC extensions. | |
251 | |
252 @item GNAT | |
253 | |
254 In order to build the Ada compiler (GNAT) you must already have GNAT | |
255 installed because portions of the Ada frontend are written in Ada (with | |
256 GNAT extensions.) Refer to the Ada installation instructions for more | |
257 specific information. | |
258 | |
259 @item A ``working'' POSIX compatible shell, or GNU bash | |
260 | |
261 Necessary when running @command{configure} because some | |
262 @command{/bin/sh} shells have bugs and may crash when configuring the | |
263 target libraries. In other cases, @command{/bin/sh} or @command{ksh} | |
264 have disastrous corner-case performance problems. This | |
265 can cause target @command{configure} runs to literally take days to | |
266 complete in some cases. | |
267 | |
268 So on some platforms @command{/bin/ksh} is sufficient, on others it | |
269 isn't. See the host/target specific instructions for your platform, or | |
270 use @command{bash} to be sure. Then set @env{CONFIG_SHELL} in your | |
271 environment to your ``good'' shell prior to running | |
272 @command{configure}/@command{make}. | |
273 | |
274 @command{zsh} is not a fully compliant POSIX shell and will not | |
275 work when configuring GCC@. | |
276 | |
277 @item A POSIX or SVR4 awk | |
278 | |
279 Necessary for creating some of the generated source files for GCC@. | |
280 If in doubt, use a recent GNU awk version, as some of the older ones | |
281 are broken. GNU awk version 3.1.5 is known to work. | |
282 | |
283 @item GNU binutils | |
284 | |
285 Necessary in some circumstances, optional in others. See the | |
286 host/target specific instructions for your platform for the exact | |
287 requirements. | |
288 | |
289 @item gzip version 1.2.4 (or later) or | |
290 @itemx bzip2 version 1.0.2 (or later) | |
291 | |
292 Necessary to uncompress GCC @command{tar} files when source code is | |
293 obtained via FTP mirror sites. | |
294 | |
295 @item GNU make version 3.80 (or later) | |
296 | |
297 You must have GNU make installed to build GCC@. | |
298 | |
299 @item GNU tar version 1.14 (or later) | |
300 | |
301 Necessary (only on some platforms) to untar the source code. Many | |
302 systems' @command{tar} programs will also work, only try GNU | |
303 @command{tar} if you have problems. | |
304 | |
305 @item GNU Multiple Precision Library (GMP) version 4.1 (or later) | |
306 | |
307 Necessary to build GCC@. If you do not have it installed in your | |
308 library search path, you will have to configure with the | |
309 @option{--with-gmp} configure option. See also @option{--with-gmp-lib} | |
310 and @option{--with-gmp-include}. Alternatively, if a GMP source | |
311 distribution is found in a subdirectory of your GCC sources named | |
312 @file{gmp}, it will be built together with GCC@. | |
313 | |
314 @item MPFR Library version 2.3.2 (or later) | |
315 | |
316 Necessary to build GCC@. It can be downloaded from | |
317 @uref{http://www.mpfr.org/}. The version of MPFR that is bundled with | |
318 GMP 4.1.x contains numerous bugs. Although GCC may appear to function | |
319 with the buggy versions of MPFR, there are a few bugs that will not be | |
320 fixed when using this version. It is strongly recommended to upgrade | |
321 to the recommended version of MPFR. | |
322 | |
323 The @option{--with-mpfr} configure option should be used if your MPFR | |
324 Library is not installed in your default library search path. See also | |
325 @option{--with-mpfr-lib} and @option{--with-mpfr-include}. | |
326 Alternatively, if a MPFR source distribution is found in a subdirectory | |
327 of your GCC sources named @file{mpfr}, it will be built together with | |
328 GCC@. | |
329 | |
330 @item Parma Polyhedra Library (PPL) version 0.10 | |
331 | |
332 Necessary to build GCC with the Graphite loop optimizations. | |
333 It can be downloaded from @uref{http://www.cs.unipr.it/ppl/Download/}. | |
334 | |
335 The @option{--with-ppl} configure option should be used if PPL is not | |
336 installed in your default library search path. | |
337 | |
338 @item CLooG-PPL version 0.15 | |
339 | |
340 Necessary to build GCC with the Graphite loop optimizations. It can | |
341 be downloaded from @uref{ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/}. | |
342 The code in @file{cloog-ppl-0.15.tar.gz} comes from a branch of CLooG | |
343 available from @uref{http://repo.or.cz/w/cloog-ppl.git}. CLooG-PPL | |
344 should be configured with @option{--with-ppl}. | |
345 | |
346 The @option{--with-cloog} configure option should be used if CLooG is | |
347 not installed in your default library search path. | |
348 | |
349 @item @command{jar}, or InfoZIP (@command{zip} and @command{unzip}) | |
350 | |
351 Necessary to build libgcj, the GCJ runtime. | |
352 | |
353 @end table | |
354 | |
355 | |
356 @heading Tools/packages necessary for modifying GCC | |
357 @table @asis | |
358 @item autoconf version 2.59 | |
359 @itemx GNU m4 version 1.4 (or later) | |
360 | |
361 Necessary when modifying @file{configure.ac}, @file{aclocal.m4}, etc.@: | |
362 to regenerate @file{configure} and @file{config.in} files. | |
363 | |
364 @item automake version 1.9.6 | |
365 | |
366 Necessary when modifying a @file{Makefile.am} file to regenerate its | |
367 associated @file{Makefile.in}. | |
368 | |
369 Much of GCC does not use automake, so directly edit the @file{Makefile.in} | |
370 file. Specifically this applies to the @file{gcc}, @file{intl}, | |
371 @file{libcpp}, @file{libiberty}, @file{libobjc} directories as well | |
372 as any of their subdirectories. | |
373 | |
374 For directories that use automake, GCC requires the latest release in | |
375 the 1.9.x series, which is currently 1.9.6. When regenerating a directory | |
376 to a newer version, please update all the directories using an older 1.9.x | |
377 to the latest released version. | |
378 | |
379 @item gettext version 0.14.5 (or later) | |
380 | |
381 Needed to regenerate @file{gcc.pot}. | |
382 | |
383 @item gperf version 2.7.2 (or later) | |
384 | |
385 Necessary when modifying @command{gperf} input files, e.g.@: | |
386 @file{gcc/cp/cfns.gperf} to regenerate its associated header file, e.g.@: | |

397 | |
398 Necessary to regenerate @file{fixinc/fixincl.x} from | |
399 @file{fixinc/inclhack.def} and @file{fixinc/*.tpl}. | |
400 | |
401 Necessary to run @samp{make check} for @file{fixinc}. | |
402 | |
403 Necessary to regenerate the top level @file{Makefile.in} file from | |
404 @file{Makefile.tpl} and @file{Makefile.def}. | |
405 | |
406 @item Flex version 2.5.4 (or later) | |
407 | |
408 Necessary when modifying @file{*.l} files. | |
409 | |
410 Necessary to build GCC during development because the generated output | |
411 files are not included in the SVN repository. They are included in | |
412 releases. | |
413 | |
414 @item Texinfo version 4.7 (or later) | |
415 | |
416 Necessary for running @command{makeinfo} when modifying @file{*.texi} | |
417 files to test your changes. | |
418 | |
419 Necessary for running @command{make dvi} or @command{make pdf} to | |
420 create printable documentation in DVI or PDF format. Texinfo version | |
421 4.8 or later is required for @command{make pdf}. | |
422 | |
423 Necessary to build GCC documentation during development because the | |
424 generated output files are not included in the SVN repository. They are | |
425 included in releases. | |
426 | |
427 @item @TeX{} (any working version) | |
428 | |
429 Necessary for running @command{texi2dvi} and @command{texi2pdf}, which | |
430 are used when running @command{make dvi} or @command{make pdf} to create | |
431 DVI or PDF files, respectively. | |
432 | |
433 @item SVN (any version) | |
434 @itemx SSH (any version) | |
435 | |

444 Necessary when targetting Darwin, building libstdc++, | |
445 and not using @option{--disable-symvers}. | |
446 Used by various scripts to generate some files included in SVN (mainly | |
447 Unicode-related and rarely changing) from source tables. | |
448 | |
449 @item GNU diffutils version 2.7 (or later) | |
450 | |
451 Useful when submitting patches for the GCC source code. | |
452 | |
453 @item patch version 2.5.4 (or later) | |
454 | |
455 Necessary when applying patches, created with @command{diff}, to one's | |
456 own sources. | |
457 | |
458 @item ecj1 | |
459 @itemx gjavah | |
460 | |
461 If you wish to modify @file{.java} files in libjava, you will need to | |
462 configure with @option{--enable-java-maintainer-mode}, and you will need | |
463 to have executables named @command{ecj1} and @command{gjavah} in your path. | |
464 The @command{ecj1} executable should run the Eclipse Java compiler via | |
465 the GCC-specific entry point. You can download a suitable jar from | |
466 @uref{ftp://sourceware.org/pub/java/}, or by running the script | |
467 @command{contrib/download_ecj}. | |
468 | |
469 @item antlr.jar version 2.7.1 (or later) | |
470 @itemx antlr binary | |
471 | |
472 If you wish to build the @command{gjdoc} binary in libjava, you will | |
473 need to have a @file{antlr.jar} library available. The library is | |
474 searched in system locations but can be configured with | |
475 @option{--with-antlr-jar=} instead. When configuring with | |
476 @option{--enable-java-maintainer-mode}, you will need to have one of | |
477 the executables named @command{cantlr}, @command{runantlr} or | |
478 @command{antlr} in your path. | |

502 | |
503 GCC is distributed via @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/svn.html,,SVN} and FTP | |
504 tarballs compressed with @command{gzip} or | |
505 @command{bzip2}. It is possible to download a full distribution or specific | |
506 components. | |
507 | |
508 Please refer to the @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html,,releases web page} | |
509 for information on how to obtain GCC@. | |
510 | |
511 The full distribution includes the C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, | |
512 and Ada (in the case of GCC 3.1 and later) compilers. The full | |
513 distribution also includes runtime libraries for C++, Objective-C, | |
514 Fortran, and Java. In GCC 3.0 and later versions, the GNU compiler | |
515 testsuites are also included in the full distribution. | |
516 | |
517 If you choose to download specific components, you must download the core | |
518 GCC distribution plus any language specific distributions you wish to | |
519 use. The core distribution includes the C language front end as well as the | |
520 shared components. Each language has a tarball which includes the language | |
521 front end as well as the language runtime (when appropriate). | |
522 | |
523 Unpack the core distribution as well as any language specific | |
524 distributions in the same directory. | |
525 | |
526 If you also intend to build binutils (either to upgrade an existing | |
527 installation or for use in place of the corresponding tools of your | |
528 OS), unpack the binutils distribution either in the same directory or | |
529 a separate one. In the latter case, add symbolic links to any | |
530 components of the binutils you intend to build alongside the compiler | |
531 (@file{bfd}, @file{binutils}, @file{gas}, @file{gprof}, @file{ld}, | |
532 @file{opcodes}, @dots{}) to the directory containing the GCC sources. | |
533 | |
534 Likewise, the GMP and MPFR libraries can be automatically built together | |
535 with GCC. Unpack the GMP and/or MPFR source distributions in the | |
536 directory containing the GCC sources and rename their directories to | |
537 @file{gmp} and @file{mpfr}, respectively (or use symbolic links with the | |
538 same name). | |

559 @cindex Installing GCC: Configuration | |
560 | |
561 Like most GNU software, GCC must be configured before it can be built. | |
562 This document describes the recommended configuration procedure | |
563 for both native and cross targets. | |
564 | |
565 We use @var{srcdir} to refer to the toplevel source directory for | |
566 GCC; we use @var{objdir} to refer to the toplevel build/object directory. | |
567 | |
568 If you obtained the sources via SVN, @var{srcdir} must refer to the top | |
569 @file{gcc} directory, the one where the @file{MAINTAINERS} can be found, | |
570 and not its @file{gcc} subdirectory, otherwise the build will fail. | |
571 | |
572 If either @var{srcdir} or @var{objdir} is located on an automounted NFS | |
573 file system, the shell's built-in @command{pwd} command will return | |
574 temporary pathnames. Using these can lead to various sorts of build | |
575 problems. To avoid this issue, set the @env{PWDCMD} environment | |
576 variable to an automounter-aware @command{pwd} command, e.g., | |
577 @command{pawd} or @samp{amq -w}, during the configuration and build | |
578 phases. | |
579 | |
580 First, we @strong{highly} recommend that GCC be built into a | |
581 separate directory than the sources which does @strong{not} reside | |
582 within the source tree. This is how we generally build GCC; building | |
583 where @var{srcdir} == @var{objdir} should still work, but doesn't | |
584 get extensive testing; building where @var{objdir} is a subdirectory | |
585 of @var{srcdir} is unsupported. | |
586 | |
587 If you have previously built GCC in the same directory for a | |
588 different target machine, do @samp{make distclean} to delete all files | |
589 that might be invalid. One of the files this deletes is @file{Makefile}; | |
590 if @samp{make distclean} complains that @file{Makefile} does not exist | |
591 or issues a message like ``don't know how to make distclean'' it probably | |
592 means that the directory is already suitably clean. However, with the | |
593 recommended method of building in a separate @var{objdir}, you should | |
594 simply use a different @var{objdir} for each target. | |
595 | |
596 Second, when configuring a native system, either @command{cc} or | |
597 @command{gcc} must be in your path or you must set @env{CC} in | |
598 your environment before running configure. Otherwise the configuration | |
599 scripts may fail. | |
600 | |
601 @ignore | |
602 Note that the bootstrap compiler and the resulting GCC must be link | |
603 compatible, else the bootstrap will fail with linker errors about | |
604 incompatible object file formats. Several multilibed targets are | |
605 affected by this requirement, see | |
606 @ifnothtml | |
607 @ref{Specific, host/target specific installation notes}. | |
608 @end ifnothtml | |
609 @ifhtml | |
610 @uref{specific.html,,host/target specific installation notes}. | |
611 @end ifhtml | |
612 @end ignore | |
613 | |
614 To configure GCC: | |
615 | |
616 @smallexample | |
617 % mkdir @var{objdir} | |
618 % cd @var{objdir} | |
619 % @var{srcdir}/configure [@var{options}] [@var{target}] | |
620 @end smallexample | |
621 | |
622 @heading Distributor options | |
623 | |
624 If you will be distributing binary versions of GCC, with modifications | |
625 to the source code, you should use the options described in this | |
626 section to make clear that your version contains modifications. | |
627 | |
628 @table @code | |
629 @item --with-pkgversion=@var{version} | |
630 Specify a string that identifies your package. You may wish | |
631 to include a build number or build date. This version string will be | |
632 included in the output of @command{gcc --version}. This suffix does | |
633 not replace the default version string, only the @samp{GCC} part. | |
634 | |
635 The default value is @samp{GCC}. | |
636 | |
637 @item --with-bugurl=@var{url} | |
638 Specify the URL that users should visit if they wish to report a bug. | |
639 You are of course welcome to forward bugs reported to you to the FSF, | |
640 if you determine that they are not bugs in your modifications. | |
641 | |
642 The default value refers to the FSF's GCC bug tracker. | |
643 | |
644 @end table | |
645 | |
646 @heading Target specification | |
647 @itemize @bullet | |
648 @item | |
649 GCC has code to correctly determine the correct value for @var{target} | |
650 for nearly all native systems. Therefore, we highly recommend you not | |
651 provide a configure target when configuring a native compiler. | |
652 | |
653 @item | |
654 @var{target} must be specified as @option{--target=@var{target}} | |
655 when configuring a cross compiler; examples of valid targets would be | |
656 m68k-coff, sh-elf, etc. | |
657 | |
658 @item | |
659 Specifying just @var{target} instead of @option{--target=@var{target}} | |
660 implies that the host defaults to @var{target}. | |
661 @end itemize | |
662 | |
663 | |
664 @heading Options specification | |
665 | |
666 Use @var{options} to override several configure time options for | |
667 GCC@. A list of supported @var{options} follows; @samp{configure | |
668 --help} may list other options, but those not listed below may not | |
669 work and should not normally be used. | |
670 | |
671 Note that each @option{--enable} option has a corresponding | |
672 @option{--disable} option and that each @option{--with} option has a | |
673 corresponding @option{--without} option. | |
674 | |
675 @table @code | |
676 @item --prefix=@var{dirname} | |
677 Specify the toplevel installation | |
678 directory. This is the recommended way to install the tools into a directory | |
679 other than the default. The toplevel installation directory defaults to | |
680 @file{/usr/local}. | |
681 | |
682 We @strong{highly} recommend against @var{dirname} being the same or a | |
683 subdirectory of @var{objdir} or vice versa. If specifying a directory | |
684 beneath a user's home directory tree, some shells will not expand | |
685 @var{dirname} correctly if it contains the @samp{~} metacharacter; use | |
686 @env{$HOME} instead. | |
687 | |
688 The following standard @command{autoconf} options are supported. Normally you | |
689 should not need to use these options. | |
690 @table @code | |
691 @item --exec-prefix=@var{dirname} | |
692 Specify the toplevel installation directory for architecture-dependent | |
693 files. The default is @file{@var{prefix}}. | |
694 | |
695 @item --bindir=@var{dirname} | |
696 Specify the installation directory for the executables called by users | |
697 (such as @command{gcc} and @command{g++}). The default is | |
698 @file{@var{exec-prefix}/bin}. | |
699 | |
700 @item --libdir=@var{dirname} | |
701 Specify the installation directory for object code libraries and | |
702 internal data files of GCC@. The default is @file{@var{exec-prefix}/lib}. | |
703 | |
704 @item --libexecdir=@var{dirname} | |
705 Specify the installation directory for internal executables of GCC@. | |
706 The default is @file{@var{exec-prefix}/libexec}. | |
707 | |
708 @item --with-slibdir=@var{dirname} | |
709 Specify the installation directory for the shared libgcc library. The | |
710 default is @file{@var{libdir}}. | |
711 | |
712 @item --infodir=@var{dirname} | |
713 Specify the installation directory for documentation in info format. | |
714 The default is @file{@var{prefix}/info}. | |
715 | |
716 @item --datadir=@var{dirname} | |
717 Specify the installation directory for some architecture-independent | |
718 data files referenced by GCC@. The default is @file{@var{prefix}/share}. | |
719 | |
720 @item --mandir=@var{dirname} | |
721 Specify the installation directory for manual pages. The default is | |
722 @file{@var{prefix}/man}. (Note that the manual pages are only extracts from | |
723 the full GCC manuals, which are provided in Texinfo format. The manpages | |
724 are derived by an automatic conversion process from parts of the full | |
725 manual.) | |
726 | |
727 @item --with-gxx-include-dir=@var{dirname} | |
728 Specify | |
729 the installation directory for G++ header files. The default is | |
730 @file{@var{prefix}/include/c++/@var{version}}. | |
731 | |
732 @end table | |
733 | |
734 @item --program-prefix=@var{prefix} | |
735 GCC supports some transformations of the names of its programs when | |
736 installing them. This option prepends @var{prefix} to the names of | |
737 programs to install in @var{bindir} (see above). For example, specifying | |
738 @option{--program-prefix=foo-} would result in @samp{gcc} | |
739 being installed as @file{/usr/local/bin/foo-gcc}. | |
740 | |
741 @item --program-suffix=@var{suffix} | |
742 Appends @var{suffix} to the names of programs to install in @var{bindir} | |
743 (see above). For example, specifying @option{--program-suffix=-3.1} | |
744 would result in @samp{gcc} being installed as | |
745 @file{/usr/local/bin/gcc-3.1}. | |
746 | |
747 @item --program-transform-name=@var{pattern} | |
748 Applies the @samp{sed} script @var{pattern} to be applied to the names | |
749 of programs to install in @var{bindir} (see above). @var{pattern} has to | |
750 consist of one or more basic @samp{sed} editing commands, separated by | |
751 semicolons. For example, if you want the @samp{gcc} program name to be | |
752 transformed to the installed program @file{/usr/local/bin/myowngcc} and | |
753 the @samp{g++} program name to be transformed to | |
754 @file{/usr/local/bin/gspecial++} without changing other program names, | |
755 you could use the pattern | |
756 @option{--program-transform-name='s/^gcc$/myowngcc/; s/^g++$/gspecial++/'} | |
757 to achieve this effect. | |
758 | |
759 All three options can be combined and used together, resulting in more | |
760 complex conversion patterns. As a basic rule, @var{prefix} (and | |
761 @var{suffix}) are prepended (appended) before further transformations | |
762 can happen with a special transformation script @var{pattern}. | |
763 | |
764 As currently implemented, this option only takes effect for native | |
765 builds; cross compiler binaries' names are not transformed even when a | |
766 transformation is explicitly asked for by one of these options. | |
767 | |
768 For native builds, some of the installed programs are also installed | |
769 with the target alias in front of their name, as in | |
770 @samp{i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc}. All of the above transformations happen | |
771 before the target alias is prepended to the name---so, specifying | |
772 @option{--program-prefix=foo-} and @option{program-suffix=-3.1}, the | |
773 resulting binary would be installed as | |
774 @file{/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-foo-gcc-3.1}. | |
775 | |
776 As a last shortcoming, none of the installed Ada programs are | |
777 transformed yet, which will be fixed in some time. | |
778 | |
779 @item --with-local-prefix=@var{dirname} | |
780 Specify the | |
781 installation directory for local include files. The default is | |
782 @file{/usr/local}. Specify this option if you want the compiler to | |
783 search directory @file{@var{dirname}/include} for locally installed | |
784 header files @emph{instead} of @file{/usr/local/include}. | |
785 | |
786 You should specify @option{--with-local-prefix} @strong{only} if your | |
787 site has a different convention (not @file{/usr/local}) for where to put | |
788 site-specific files. | |
789 | |
790 The default value for @option{--with-local-prefix} is @file{/usr/local} | |
791 regardless of the value of @option{--prefix}. Specifying | |
792 @option{--prefix} has no effect on which directory GCC searches for | |
793 local header files. This may seem counterintuitive, but actually it is | |
794 logical. | |
795 | |
796 The purpose of @option{--prefix} is to specify where to @emph{install | |
797 GCC}. The local header files in @file{/usr/local/include}---if you put | |
798 any in that directory---are not part of GCC@. They are part of other | |
799 programs---perhaps many others. (GCC installs its own header files in | |
800 another directory which is based on the @option{--prefix} value.) | |
801 | |
802 Both the local-prefix include directory and the GCC-prefix include | |
803 directory are part of GCC's ``system include'' directories. Although these | |
804 two directories are not fixed, they need to be searched in the proper | |
805 order for the correct processing of the include_next directive. The | |
806 local-prefix include directory is searched before the GCC-prefix | |
807 include directory. Another characteristic of system include directories | |
808 is that pedantic warnings are turned off for headers in these directories. | |
809 | |
810 Some autoconf macros add @option{-I @var{directory}} options to the | |
811 compiler command line, to ensure that directories containing installed | |
812 packages' headers are searched. When @var{directory} is one of GCC's | |
813 system include directories, GCC will ignore the option so that system | |
814 directories continue to be processed in the correct order. This | |
815 may result in a search order different from what was specified but the | |
816 directory will still be searched. | |
817 | |
818 GCC automatically searches for ordinary libraries using | |
819 @env{GCC_EXEC_PREFIX}. Thus, when the same installation prefix is | |
820 used for both GCC and packages, GCC will automatically search for | |
821 both headers and libraries. This provides a configuration that is | |
822 easy to use. GCC behaves in a manner similar to that when it is | |
823 installed as a system compiler in @file{/usr}. | |
824 | |
825 Sites that need to install multiple versions of GCC may not want to | |
826 use the above simple configuration. It is possible to use the | |
827 @option{--program-prefix}, @option{--program-suffix} and | |
828 @option{--program-transform-name} options to install multiple versions | |
829 into a single directory, but it may be simpler to use different prefixes | |
830 and the @option{--with-local-prefix} option to specify the location of the | |
831 site-specific files for each version. It will then be necessary for | |
832 users to specify explicitly the location of local site libraries | |
833 (e.g., with @env{LIBRARY_PATH}). | |
834 | |
835 The same value can be used for both @option{--with-local-prefix} and | |
836 @option{--prefix} provided it is not @file{/usr}. This can be used | |
837 to avoid the default search of @file{/usr/local/include}. | |
838 | |
839 @strong{Do not} specify @file{/usr} as the @option{--with-local-prefix}! | |
840 The directory you use for @option{--with-local-prefix} @strong{must not} | |
841 contain any of the system's standard header files. If it did contain | |
842 them, certain programs would be miscompiled (including GNU Emacs, on | |
843 certain targets), because this would override and nullify the header | |
844 file corrections made by the @command{fixincludes} script. | |
845 | |
846 Indications are that people who use this option use it based on mistaken | |
847 ideas of what it is for. People use it as if it specified where to | |
848 install part of GCC@. Perhaps they make this assumption because | |
849 installing GCC creates the directory. | |
850 | |
851 @item --enable-shared[=@var{package}[,@dots{}]] | |
852 Build shared versions of libraries, if shared libraries are supported on | |
853 the target platform. Unlike GCC 2.95.x and earlier, shared libraries | |
854 are enabled by default on all platforms that support shared libraries. | |
855 | |
856 If a list of packages is given as an argument, build shared libraries | |
857 only for the listed packages. For other packages, only static libraries | |
858 will be built. Package names currently recognized in the GCC tree are | |
859 @samp{libgcc} (also known as @samp{gcc}), @samp{libstdc++} (not | |
860 @samp{libstdc++-v3}), @samp{libffi}, @samp{zlib}, @samp{boehm-gc}, | |
861 @samp{ada}, @samp{libada}, @samp{libjava} and @samp{libobjc}. | |
862 Note @samp{libiberty} does not support shared libraries at all. | |
863 | |
864 Use @option{--disable-shared} to build only static libraries. Note that | |
865 @option{--disable-shared} does not accept a list of package names as | |
866 argument, only @option{--enable-shared} does. | |
867 | |
868 @item @anchor{with-gnu-as}--with-gnu-as | |
869 Specify that the compiler should assume that the | |
870 assembler it finds is the GNU assembler. However, this does not modify | |
871 the rules to find an assembler and will result in confusion if the | |
872 assembler found is not actually the GNU assembler. (Confusion may also | |
873 result if the compiler finds the GNU assembler but has not been | |
874 configured with @option{--with-gnu-as}.) If you have more than one | |
875 assembler installed on your system, you may want to use this option in | |
876 connection with @option{--with-as=@var{pathname}} or | |
877 @option{--with-build-time-tools=@var{pathname}}. | |
878 | |
879 The following systems are the only ones where it makes a difference | |
880 whether you use the GNU assembler. On any other system, | |
881 @option{--with-gnu-as} has no effect. | |
882 | |
883 @itemize @bullet | |
884 @item @samp{hppa1.0-@var{any}-@var{any}} | |
885 @item @samp{hppa1.1-@var{any}-@var{any}} | |
886 @item @samp{sparc-sun-solaris2.@var{any}} | |
887 @item @samp{sparc64-@var{any}-solaris2.@var{any}} | |
888 @end itemize | |
889 | |
890 @item @anchor{with-as}--with-as=@var{pathname} | |
891 Specify that the compiler should use the assembler pointed to by | |
892 @var{pathname}, rather than the one found by the standard rules to find | |
893 an assembler, which are: | |
894 @itemize @bullet | |
895 @item | |
896 Unless GCC is being built with a cross compiler, check the | |
897 @file{@var{libexec}/gcc/@var{target}/@var{version}} directory. | |
898 @var{libexec} defaults to @file{@var{exec-prefix}/libexec}; | |
899 @var{exec-prefix} defaults to @var{prefix}, which | |
900 defaults to @file{/usr/local} unless overridden by the | |
901 @option{--prefix=@var{pathname}} switch described above. @var{target} | |
902 is the target system triple, such as @samp{sparc-sun-solaris2.7}, and | |
903 @var{version} denotes the GCC version, such as 3.0. | |
904 | |
905 @item | |
906 If the target system is the same that you are building on, check | |
907 operating system specific directories (e.g.@: @file{/usr/ccs/bin} on | |
908 Sun Solaris 2). | |
909 | |
910 @item | |
911 Check in the @env{PATH} for a tool whose name is prefixed by the | |
912 target system triple. | |
913 | |
914 @item | |
915 Check in the @env{PATH} for a tool whose name is not prefixed by the | |
916 target system triple, if the host and target system triple are | |
917 the same (in other words, we use a host tool if it can be used for | |
918 the target as well). | |
919 @end itemize | |
920 | |
921 You may want to use @option{--with-as} if no assembler | |
922 is installed in the directories listed above, or if you have multiple | |
923 assemblers installed and want to choose one that is not found by the | |
924 above rules. | |
925 | |
926 @item @anchor{with-gnu-ld}--with-gnu-ld | |
927 Same as @uref{#with-gnu-as,,@option{--with-gnu-as}} | |
928 but for the linker. | |
929 | |
930 @item --with-ld=@var{pathname} | |
931 Same as @uref{#with-as,,@option{--with-as}} | |
932 but for the linker. | |
933 | |
934 @item --with-stabs | |
935 Specify that stabs debugging | |
936 information should be used instead of whatever format the host normally | |
937 uses. Normally GCC uses the same debug format as the host system. | |
938 | |
939 On MIPS based systems and on Alphas, you must specify whether you want | |
940 GCC to create the normal ECOFF debugging format, or to use BSD-style | |
941 stabs passed through the ECOFF symbol table. The normal ECOFF debug | |
942 format cannot fully handle languages other than C@. BSD stabs format can | |
943 handle other languages, but it only works with the GNU debugger GDB@. | |
944 | |
945 Normally, GCC uses the ECOFF debugging format by default; if you | |
946 prefer BSD stabs, specify @option{--with-stabs} when you configure GCC@. | |
947 | |
948 No matter which default you choose when you configure GCC, the user | |
949 can use the @option{-gcoff} and @option{-gstabs+} options to specify explicitly | |
950 the debug format for a particular compilation. | |
951 | |
952 @option{--with-stabs} is meaningful on the ISC system on the 386, also, if | |
953 @option{--with-gas} is used. It selects use of stabs debugging | |
954 information embedded in COFF output. This kind of debugging information | |
955 supports C++ well; ordinary COFF debugging information does not. | |
956 | |
957 @option{--with-stabs} is also meaningful on 386 systems running SVR4. It | |
958 selects use of stabs debugging information embedded in ELF output. The | |
959 C++ compiler currently (2.6.0) does not support the DWARF debugging | |
960 information normally used on 386 SVR4 platforms; stabs provide a | |
961 workable alternative. This requires gas and gdb, as the normal SVR4 | |
962 tools can not generate or interpret stabs. | |
963 | |
964 @item --disable-multilib | |
965 Specify that multiple target | |
966 libraries to support different target variants, calling | |
967 conventions, etc.@: should not be built. The default is to build a | |
968 predefined set of them. | |
969 | |
970 Some targets provide finer-grained control over which multilibs are built | |
971 (e.g., @option{--disable-softfloat}): | |
972 @table @code | |

988 | |
989 @end table | |
990 | |
991 @item --enable-threads | |
992 Specify that the target | |
993 supports threads. This affects the Objective-C compiler and runtime | |
994 library, and exception handling for other languages like C++ and Java. | |
995 On some systems, this is the default. | |
996 | |
997 In general, the best (and, in many cases, the only known) threading | |
998 model available will be configured for use. Beware that on some | |
999 systems, GCC has not been taught what threading models are generally | |
1000 available for the system. In this case, @option{--enable-threads} is an | |
1001 alias for @option{--enable-threads=single}. | |
1002 | |
1003 @item --disable-threads | |
1004 Specify that threading support should be disabled for the system. | |
1005 This is an alias for @option{--enable-threads=single}. | |
1006 | |
1007 @item --enable-threads=@var{lib} | |
1008 Specify that | |
1009 @var{lib} is the thread support library. This affects the Objective-C | |
1010 compiler and runtime library, and exception handling for other languages | |
1011 like C++ and Java. The possibilities for @var{lib} are: | |
1012 | |
1013 @table @code | |
1014 @item aix | |
1015 AIX thread support. | |
1016 @item dce | |
1017 DCE thread support. | |
1018 @item gnat | |
1019 Ada tasking support. For non-Ada programs, this setting is equivalent | |
1020 to @samp{single}. When used in conjunction with the Ada run time, it | |
1021 causes GCC to use the same thread primitives as Ada uses. This option | |
1022 is necessary when using both Ada and the back end exception handling, | |
1023 which is the default for most Ada targets. | |
1024 @item mach | |
1025 Generic MACH thread support, known to work on NeXTSTEP@. (Please note | |
1026 that the file needed to support this configuration, @file{gthr-mach.h}, is | |
1027 missing and thus this setting will cause a known bootstrap failure.) | |
1028 @item no | |
1029 This is an alias for @samp{single}. | |

1045 Novell Kernel Services thread support. | |
1046 @end table | |
1047 | |
1048 @item --enable-tls | |
1049 Specify that the target supports TLS (Thread Local Storage). Usually | |
1050 configure can correctly determine if TLS is supported. In cases where | |
1051 it guesses incorrectly, TLS can be explicitly enabled or disabled with | |
1052 @option{--enable-tls} or @option{--disable-tls}. This can happen if | |
1053 the assembler supports TLS but the C library does not, or if the | |
1054 assumptions made by the configure test are incorrect. | |
1055 | |
1056 @item --disable-tls | |
1057 Specify that the target does not support TLS. | |
1058 This is an alias for @option{--enable-tls=no}. | |
1059 | |
1060 @item --with-cpu=@var{cpu} | |
1061 @itemx --with-cpu-32=@var{cpu} | |
1062 @itemx --with-cpu-64=@var{cpu} | |
1063 Specify which cpu variant the compiler should generate code for by default. | |
1064 @var{cpu} will be used as the default value of the @option{-mcpu=} switch. | |
1065 This option is only supported on some targets, including ARM, i386, M68k, | |
1066 PowerPC, and SPARC@. The @option{--with-cpu-32} and | |
1067 @option{--with-cpu-64} options specify separate default CPUs for | |
1068 32-bit and 64-bit modes; these options are only supported for i386 and | |
1069 x86-64. | |
1070 | |
1071 @item --with-schedule=@var{cpu} | |
1072 @itemx --with-arch=@var{cpu} | |

1078 @itemx --with-abi=@var{abi} | |
1079 @itemx --with-fpu=@var{type} | |
1080 @itemx --with-float=@var{type} | |
1081 These configure options provide default values for the @option{-mschedule=}, | |
1082 @option{-march=}, @option{-mtune=}, @option{-mabi=}, and @option{-mfpu=} | |
1083 options and for @option{-mhard-float} or @option{-msoft-float}. As with | |
1084 @option{--with-cpu}, which switches will be accepted and acceptable values | |
1085 of the arguments depend on the target. | |
1086 | |
1087 @item --with-mode=@var{mode} | |
1088 Specify if the compiler should default to @option{-marm} or @option{-mthumb}. | |
1089 This option is only supported on ARM targets. | |
1090 | |
1091 @item --with-divide=@var{type} | |
1092 Specify how the compiler should generate code for checking for | |
1093 division by zero. This option is only supported on the MIPS target. | |
1094 The possibilities for @var{type} are: | |
1095 @table @code | |
1096 @item traps | |
1097 Division by zero checks use conditional traps (this is the default on | |
1098 systems that support conditional traps). | |
1099 @item breaks | |
1100 Division by zero checks use the break instruction. | |
1101 @end table | |
1102 | |
1103 @c If you make --with-llsc the default for additional targets, | |
1104 @c update the --with-llsc description in the MIPS section below. | |
1105 | |
1106 @item --with-llsc | |
1107 On MIPS targets, make @option{-mllsc} the default when no | |
1108 @option{-mno-lsc} option is passed. This is the default for | |
1109 Linux-based targets, as the kernel will emulate them if the ISA does | |
1110 not provide them. | |
1111 | |
1112 @item --without-llsc | |
1113 On MIPS targets, make @option{-mno-llsc} the default when no | |
1114 @option{-mllsc} option is passed. | |
1115 | |
1116 @item --with-mips-plt | |
1117 On MIPS targets, make use of copy relocations and PLTs. | |
1118 These features are extensions to the traditional | |
1119 SVR4-based MIPS ABIs and require support from GNU binutils | |
1120 and the runtime C library. | |
1121 | |
1122 @item --enable-__cxa_atexit | |
1123 Define if you want to use __cxa_atexit, rather than atexit, to | |
1124 register C++ destructors for local statics and global objects. | |
1125 This is essential for fully standards-compliant handling of | |
1126 destructors, but requires __cxa_atexit in libc. This option is currently | |
1127 only available on systems with GNU libc. When enabled, this will cause | |
1128 @option{-fuse-cxa-atexit} to be passed by default. | |
1129 | |
1130 @item --enable-target-optspace | |
1131 Specify that target | |
1132 libraries should be optimized for code space instead of code speed. | |
1133 This is the default for the m32r platform. | |
1134 | |
1135 @item --disable-cpp | |
1136 Specify that a user visible @command{cpp} program should not be installed. | |
1137 | |
1138 @item --with-cpp-install-dir=@var{dirname} | |
1139 Specify that the user visible @command{cpp} program should be installed | |
1140 in @file{@var{prefix}/@var{dirname}/cpp}, in addition to @var{bindir}. | |
1141 | |
1142 @item --enable-initfini-array | |
1143 Force the use of sections @code{.init_array} and @code{.fini_array} | |
1144 (instead of @code{.init} and @code{.fini}) for constructors and | |
1145 destructors. Option @option{--disable-initfini-array} has the | |
1146 opposite effect. If neither option is specified, the configure script | |
1147 will try to guess whether the @code{.init_array} and | |
1148 @code{.fini_array} sections are supported and, if they are, use them. | |
1149 | |
1150 @item --enable-maintainer-mode | |
1151 The build rules that | |
1152 regenerate the GCC master message catalog @file{gcc.pot} are normally | |
1153 disabled. This is because it can only be rebuilt if the complete source | |
1154 tree is present. If you have changed the sources and want to rebuild the | |
1155 catalog, configuring with @option{--enable-maintainer-mode} will enable | |
1156 this. Note that you need a recent version of the @code{gettext} tools | |
1157 to do so. | |
1158 | |
1159 @item --disable-bootstrap | |
1160 For a native build, the default configuration is to perform | |
1161 a 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler when @samp{make} is invoked, | |
1162 testing that GCC can compile itself correctly. If you want to disable | |
1163 this process, you can configure with @option{--disable-bootstrap}. | |
1164 | |
1165 @item --enable-bootstrap | |
1166 In special cases, you may want to perform a 3-stage build | |
1167 even if the target and host triplets are different. | |
1168 This could happen when the host can run code compiled for | |
1169 the target (e.g.@: host is i686-linux, target is i486-linux). | |
1170 Starting from GCC 4.2, to do this you have to configure explicitly | |
1171 with @option{--enable-bootstrap}. | |
1172 | |
1173 @item --enable-generated-files-in-srcdir | |
1174 Neither the .c and .h files that are generated from Bison and flex nor the | |
1175 info manuals and man pages that are built from the .texi files are present | |
1176 in the SVN development tree. When building GCC from that development tree, | |
1177 or from one of our snapshots, those generated files are placed in your | |
1178 build directory, which allows for the source to be in a readonly | |
1179 directory. | |
1180 | |
1181 If you configure with @option{--enable-generated-files-in-srcdir} then those | |
1182 generated files will go into the source directory. This is mainly intended | |
1183 for generating release or prerelease tarballs of the GCC sources, since it | |
1184 is not a requirement that the users of source releases to have flex, Bison, | |
1185 or makeinfo. | |
1186 | |
1187 @item --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs | |
1188 Specify | |
1189 that runtime libraries should be installed in the compiler specific | |
1190 subdirectory (@file{@var{libdir}/gcc}) rather than the usual places. In | |
1191 addition, @samp{libstdc++}'s include files will be installed into | |
1192 @file{@var{libdir}} unless you overruled it by using | |
1193 @option{--with-gxx-include-dir=@var{dirname}}. Using this option is | |
1194 particularly useful if you intend to use several versions of GCC in | |
1195 parallel. This is currently supported by @samp{libgfortran}, | |
1196 @samp{libjava}, @samp{libmudflap}, @samp{libstdc++}, and @samp{libobjc}. | |
1197 | |
1198 @item --enable-languages=@var{lang1},@var{lang2},@dots{} | |
1199 Specify that only a particular subset of compilers and | |
1200 their runtime libraries should be built. For a list of valid values for | |
1201 @var{langN} you can issue the following command in the | |
1202 @file{gcc} directory of your GCC source tree:@* | |
1203 @smallexample | |
1204 grep language= */config-lang.in | |
1205 @end smallexample | |
1206 Currently, you can use any of the following: | |
1207 @code{all}, @code{ada}, @code{c}, @code{c++}, @code{fortran}, @code{java}, | |
1208 @code{objc}, @code{obj-c++}. | |
1209 Building the Ada compiler has special requirements, see below. | |
1210 If you do not pass this flag, or specify the option @code{all}, then all | |
1211 default languages available in the @file{gcc} sub-tree will be configured. | |
1212 Ada and Objective-C++ are not default languages; the rest are. | |
1213 Re-defining @code{LANGUAGES} when calling @samp{make} @strong{does not} | |
1214 work anymore, as those language sub-directories might not have been | |
1215 configured! | |
1216 | |
1217 @item --enable-stage1-languages=@var{lang1},@var{lang2},@dots{} | |
1218 Specify that a particular subset of compilers and their runtime | |
1219 libraries should be built with the system C compiler during stage 1 of | |
1220 the bootstrap process, rather than only in later stages with the | |
1221 bootstrapped C compiler. The list of valid values is the same as for | |
1222 @option{--enable-languages}, and the option @code{all} will select all | |
1223 of the languages enabled by @option{--enable-languages}. This option is | |
1224 primarily useful for GCC development; for instance, when a development | |
1225 version of the compiler cannot bootstrap due to compiler bugs, or when | |
1226 one is debugging front ends other than the C front end. When this | |
1227 option is used, one can then build the target libraries for the | |
1228 specified languages with the stage-1 compiler by using @command{make | |
1229 stage1-bubble all-target}, or run the testsuite on the stage-1 compiler | |
1230 for the specified languages using @command{make stage1-start check-gcc}. | |
1231 | |
1232 @item --disable-libada | |
1233 Specify that the run-time libraries and tools used by GNAT should not | |
1234 be built. This can be useful for debugging, or for compatibility with | |
1235 previous Ada build procedures, when it was required to explicitly | |
1236 do a @samp{make -C gcc gnatlib_and_tools}. | |
1237 | |
1238 @item --disable-libssp | |
1239 Specify that the run-time libraries for stack smashing protection | |
1240 should not be built. | |
1241 | |
1242 @item --disable-libgomp | |
1243 Specify that the run-time libraries used by GOMP should not be built. | |
1244 | |
1245 @item --with-dwarf2 | |
1246 Specify that the compiler should | |
1247 use DWARF 2 debugging information as the default. | |
1248 | |
1249 @item --enable-targets=all | |
1250 @itemx --enable-targets=@var{target_list} | |
1251 Some GCC targets, e.g.@: powerpc64-linux, build bi-arch compilers. | |
1252 These are compilers that are able to generate either 64-bit or 32-bit | |
1253 code. Typically, the corresponding 32-bit target, e.g.@: | |
1254 powerpc-linux for powerpc64-linux, only generates 32-bit code. This | |
1255 option enables the 32-bit target to be a bi-arch compiler, which is | |
1256 useful when you want a bi-arch compiler that defaults to 32-bit, and | |
1257 you are building a bi-arch or multi-arch binutils in a combined tree. | |
1258 Currently, this option only affects sparc-linux, powerpc-linux and | |
1259 x86-linux. | |
1260 | |
1261 @item --enable-secureplt | |
1262 This option enables @option{-msecure-plt} by default for powerpc-linux. | |

1282 @itemx --enable-win32-registry=@var{key} | |
1283 @itemx --disable-win32-registry | |
1284 The @option{--enable-win32-registry} option enables Microsoft Windows-hosted GCC | |
1285 to look up installations paths in the registry using the following key: | |
1286 | |
1287 @smallexample | |
1288 @code{HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Free Software Foundation\@var{key}} | |
1289 @end smallexample | |
1290 | |
1291 @var{key} defaults to GCC version number, and can be overridden by the | |
1292 @option{--enable-win32-registry=@var{key}} option. Vendors and distributors | |
1293 who use custom installers are encouraged to provide a different key, | |
1294 perhaps one comprised of vendor name and GCC version number, to | |
1295 avoid conflict with existing installations. This feature is enabled | |
1296 by default, and can be disabled by @option{--disable-win32-registry} | |
1297 option. This option has no effect on the other hosts. | |
1298 | |
1299 @item --nfp | |
1300 Specify that the machine does not have a floating point unit. This | |
1301 option only applies to @samp{m68k-sun-sunos@var{n}}. On any other | |
1302 system, @option{--nfp} has no effect. | |
1303 | |
1304 @item --enable-werror | |
1305 @itemx --disable-werror | |
1306 @itemx --enable-werror=yes | |
1307 @itemx --enable-werror=no | |
1308 When you specify this option, it controls whether certain files in the | |
1309 compiler are built with @option{-Werror} in bootstrap stage2 and later. | |
1310 If you don't specify it, @option{-Werror} is turned on for the main | |
1311 development trunk. However it defaults to off for release branches and | |
1312 final releases. The specific files which get @option{-Werror} are | |
1313 controlled by the Makefiles. | |
1314 | |
1315 @item --enable-checking | |
1316 @itemx --enable-checking=@var{list} | |
1317 When you specify this option, the compiler is built to perform internal | |
1318 consistency checks of the requested complexity. This does not change the | |
1319 generated code, but adds error checking within the compiler. This will | |
1320 slow down the compiler and may only work properly if you are building | |
1321 the compiler with GCC@. This is @samp{yes} by default when building | |
1322 from SVN or snapshots, but @samp{release} for releases. The default | |
1323 for building the stage1 compiler is @samp{yes}. More control | |
1324 over the checks may be had by specifying @var{list}. The categories of | |
1325 checks available are @samp{yes} (most common checks | |
1326 @samp{assert,misc,tree,gc,rtlflag,runtime}), @samp{no} (no checks at | |
1327 all), @samp{all} (all but @samp{valgrind}), @samp{release} (cheapest | |
1328 checks @samp{assert,runtime}) or @samp{none} (same as @samp{no}). | |
1329 Individual checks can be enabled with these flags @samp{assert}, | |
1330 @samp{df}, @samp{fold}, @samp{gc}, @samp{gcac} @samp{misc}, @samp{rtl}, | |
1331 @samp{rtlflag}, @samp{runtime}, @samp{tree}, and @samp{valgrind}. | |
1332 | |
1333 The @samp{valgrind} check requires the external @command{valgrind} | |
1334 simulator, available from @uref{http://valgrind.org/}. The | |
1335 @samp{df}, @samp{rtl}, @samp{gcac} and @samp{valgrind} checks are very expensive. | |
1336 To disable all checking, @samp{--disable-checking} or | |
1337 @samp{--enable-checking=none} must be explicitly requested. Disabling | |
1338 assertions will make the compiler and runtime slightly faster but | |
1339 increase the risk of undetected internal errors causing wrong code to be | |
1340 generated. | |
1341 | |
1342 @item --disable-stage1-checking | |
1343 @item --enable-stage1-checking | |
1344 @itemx --enable-stage1-checking=@var{list} | |
1345 If no @option{--enable-checking} option is specified the stage1 | |
1346 compiler will be built with @samp{yes} checking enabled, otherwise | |
1347 the stage1 checking flags are the same as specified by | |
1348 @option{--enable-checking}. To build the stage1 compiler with | |
1349 different checking options use @option{--enable-stage1-checking}. | |
1350 The list of checking options is the same as for @option{--enable-checking}. | |
1351 If your system is too slow or too small to bootstrap a released compiler | |
1352 with checking for stage1 enabled, you can use @samp{--disable-stage1-checking} | |
1353 to disable checking for the stage1 compiler. | |
1354 | |
1355 @item --enable-coverage | |
1356 @itemx --enable-coverage=@var{level} | |
1357 With this option, the compiler is built to collect self coverage | |
1358 information, every time it is run. This is for internal development | |
1359 purposes, and only works when the compiler is being built with gcc. The | |
1360 @var{level} argument controls whether the compiler is built optimized or | |
1361 not, values are @samp{opt} and @samp{noopt}. For coverage analysis you | |
1362 want to disable optimization, for performance analysis you want to | |
1363 enable optimization. When coverage is enabled, the default level is | |
1364 without optimization. | |
1365 | |
1366 @item --enable-gather-detailed-mem-stats | |
1367 When this option is specified more detailed information on memory | |
1368 allocation is gathered. This information is printed when using | |
1369 @option{-fmem-report}. | |
1370 | |
1371 @item --with-gc | |
1372 @itemx --with-gc=@var{choice} | |
1373 With this option you can specify the garbage collector implementation | |
1374 used during the compilation process. @var{choice} can be one of | |
1375 @samp{page} and @samp{zone}, where @samp{page} is the default. | |
1376 | |
1377 @item --enable-nls | |
1378 @itemx --disable-nls | |
1379 The @option{--enable-nls} option enables Native Language Support (NLS), | |
1380 which lets GCC output diagnostics in languages other than American | |
1381 English. Native Language Support is enabled by default if not doing a | |
1382 canadian cross build. The @option{--disable-nls} option disables NLS@. | |
1383 | |
1384 @item --with-included-gettext | |
1385 If NLS is enabled, the @option{--with-included-gettext} option causes the build | |
1386 procedure to prefer its copy of GNU @command{gettext}. | |
1387 | |
1388 @item --with-catgets | |
1389 If NLS is enabled, and if the host lacks @code{gettext} but has the | |
1390 inferior @code{catgets} interface, the GCC build procedure normally | |
1391 ignores @code{catgets} and instead uses GCC's copy of the GNU | |
1392 @code{gettext} library. The @option{--with-catgets} option causes the | |
1393 build procedure to use the host's @code{catgets} in this situation. | |
1394 | |
1395 @item --with-libiconv-prefix=@var{dir} | |
1396 Search for libiconv header files in @file{@var{dir}/include} and | |
1397 libiconv library files in @file{@var{dir}/lib}. | |
1398 | |
1399 @item --enable-obsolete | |
1400 Enable configuration for an obsoleted system. If you attempt to | |
1401 configure GCC for a system (build, host, or target) which has been | |
1402 obsoleted, and you do not specify this flag, configure will halt with an | |
1403 error message. | |
1404 | |
1405 All support for systems which have been obsoleted in one release of GCC | |
1406 is removed entirely in the next major release, unless someone steps | |
1407 forward to maintain the port. | |
1408 | |
1409 @item --enable-decimal-float | |
1410 @itemx --enable-decimal-float=yes | |
1411 @itemx --enable-decimal-float=no | |
1412 @itemx --enable-decimal-float=bid | |
1413 @itemx --enable-decimal-float=dpd | |
1414 @itemx --disable-decimal-float | |
1415 Enable (or disable) support for the C decimal floating point extension | |
1416 that is in the IEEE 754-2008 standard. This is enabled by default only | |
1417 on PowerPC, i386, and x86_64 GNU/Linux systems. Other systems may also | |
1418 support it, but require the user to specifically enable it. You can | |
1419 optionally control which decimal floating point format is used (either | |
1420 @samp{bid} or @samp{dpd}). The @samp{bid} (binary integer decimal) | |
1421 format is default on i386 and x86_64 systems, and the @samp{dpd} | |
1422 (densely packed decimal) format is default on PowerPC systems. | |
1423 | |
1424 @item --enable-fixed-point | |
1425 @itemx --disable-fixed-point | |
1426 Enable (or disable) support for C fixed-point arithmetic. | |
1427 This option is enabled by default for some targets (such as MIPS) which | |
1428 have hardware-support for fixed-point operations. On other targets, you | |
1429 may enable this option manually. | |
1430 | |
1431 @item --with-long-double-128 | |
1432 Specify if @code{long double} type should be 128-bit by default on selected | |
1433 GNU/Linux architectures. If using @code{--without-long-double-128}, | |
1434 @code{long double} will be by default 64-bit, the same as @code{double} type. | |
1435 When neither of these configure options are used, the default will be | |
1436 128-bit @code{long double} when built against GNU C Library 2.4 and later, | |
1437 64-bit @code{long double} otherwise. | |
1438 | |

1443 @itemx --with-mpfr-include=@var{pathname} | |
1444 @itemx --with-mpfr-lib=@var{pathname} | |
1445 If you do not have GMP (the GNU Multiple Precision library) and the | |
1446 MPFR Libraries installed in a standard location and you want to build | |
1447 GCC, you can explicitly specify the directory where they are installed | |
1448 (@samp{--with-gmp=@var{gmpinstalldir}}, | |
1449 @samp{--with-mpfr=@var{mpfrinstalldir}}). The | |
1450 @option{--with-gmp=@var{gmpinstalldir}} option is shorthand for | |
1451 @option{--with-gmp-lib=@var{gmpinstalldir}/lib} and | |
1452 @option{--with-gmp-include=@var{gmpinstalldir}/include}. Likewise the | |
1453 @option{--with-mpfr=@var{mpfrinstalldir}} option is shorthand for | |
1454 @option{--with-mpfr-lib=@var{mpfrinstalldir}/lib} and | |
1455 @option{--with-mpfr-include=@var{mpfrinstalldir}/include}. If these | |
1456 shorthand assumptions are not correct, you can use the explicit | |
1457 include and lib options directly. | |
1458 | |
1459 @item --with-ppl=@var{pathname} | |
1460 @itemx --with-ppl-include=@var{pathname} | |
1461 @itemx --with-ppl-lib=@var{pathname} | |

1463 @itemx --with-cloog-include=@var{pathname} | |
1464 @itemx --with-cloog-lib=@var{pathname} | |
1465 If you do not have PPL (the Parma Polyhedra Library) and the CLooG | |
1466 libraries installed in a standard location and you want to build GCC, | |
1467 you can explicitly specify the directory where they are installed | |
1468 (@samp{--with-ppl=@var{pplinstalldir}}, | |
1469 @samp{--with-cloog=@var{clooginstalldir}}). The | |
1470 @option{--with-ppl=@var{pplinstalldir}} option is shorthand for | |
1471 @option{--with-ppl-lib=@var{pplinstalldir}/lib} and | |
1472 @option{--with-ppl-include=@var{pplinstalldir}/include}. Likewise the | |
1473 @option{--with-cloog=@var{clooginstalldir}} option is shorthand for | |
1474 @option{--with-cloog-lib=@var{clooginstalldir}/lib} and | |
1475 @option{--with-cloog-include=@var{clooginstalldir}/include}. If these | |
1476 shorthand assumptions are not correct, you can use the explicit | |
1477 include and lib options directly. | |
1478 | |
1479 @item --with-host-libstdcxx=@var{linker-args} | |
1480 If you are linking with a static copy of PPL, you can use this option | |
1481 to specify how the linker should find the standard C++ library used | |
1482 internally by PPL. Typical values of @var{linker-args} might be | |
1483 @samp{-lstdc++} or @samp{-Wl,-Bstatic,-lstdc++,-Bdynamic -lm}. If you are | |
1484 linking with a shared copy of PPL, you probably do not need this | |
1485 option; shared library dependencies will cause the linker to search | |
1486 for the standard C++ library automatically. | |
1487 | |
1488 @item --with-debug-prefix-map=@var{map} | |
1489 Convert source directory names using @option{-fdebug-prefix-map} when | |
1490 building runtime libraries. @samp{@var{map}} is a space-separated | |
1491 list of maps of the form @samp{@var{old}=@var{new}}. | |
1492 | |
1493 @end table | |
1494 | |
1495 @subheading Cross-Compiler-Specific Options | |
1496 The following options only apply to building cross compilers. | |
1497 @table @code | |
1498 @item --with-sysroot | |
1499 @itemx --with-sysroot=@var{dir} | |
1500 Tells GCC to consider @var{dir} as the root of a tree that contains a | |
1501 (subset of) the root filesystem of the target operating system. | |
1502 Target system headers, libraries and run-time object files will be | |
1503 searched in there. The specified directory is not copied into the | |
1504 install tree, unlike the options @option{--with-headers} and | |
1505 @option{--with-libs} that this option obsoletes. The default value, | |
1506 in case @option{--with-sysroot} is not given an argument, is | |
1507 @option{$@{gcc_tooldir@}/sys-root}. If the specified directory is a | |
1508 subdirectory of @option{$@{exec_prefix@}}, then it will be found relative to | |
1509 the GCC binaries if the installation tree is moved. | |
1510 | |
1511 @item --with-build-sysroot | |
1512 @itemx --with-build-sysroot=@var{dir} | |
1513 Tells GCC to consider @var{dir} as the system root (see | |
1514 @option{--with-sysroot}) while building target libraries, instead of | |
1515 the directory specified with @option{--with-sysroot}. This option is | |
1516 only useful when you are already using @option{--with-sysroot}. You | |
1517 can use @option{--with-build-sysroot} when you are configuring with | |
1518 @option{--prefix} set to a directory that is different from the one in | |
1519 which you are installing GCC and your target libraries. | |
1520 | |
1521 This option affects the system root for the compiler used to build | |
1522 target libraries (which runs on the build system); it does not affect | |
1523 the compiler which is used to build GCC itself. | |
1524 | |
1525 @item --with-headers | |
1526 @itemx --with-headers=@var{dir} | |
1527 Deprecated in favor of @option{--with-sysroot}. | |
1528 Specifies that target headers are available when building a cross compiler. | |
1529 The @var{dir} argument specifies a directory which has the target include | |
1530 files. These include files will be copied into the @file{gcc} install | |
1531 directory. @emph{This option with the @var{dir} argument is required} when | |
1532 building a cross compiler, if @file{@var{prefix}/@var{target}/sys-include} | |
1533 doesn't pre-exist. If @file{@var{prefix}/@var{target}/sys-include} does | |
1534 pre-exist, the @var{dir} argument may be omitted. @command{fixincludes} | |
1535 will be run on these files to make them compatible with GCC@. | |
1536 | |
1537 @item --without-headers | |
1538 Tells GCC not use any target headers from a libc when building a cross | |
1539 compiler. When crossing to GNU/Linux, you need the headers so GCC | |
1540 can build the exception handling for libgcc. | |
1541 | |
1542 @item --with-libs | |
1543 @itemx --with-libs=``@var{dir1} @var{dir2} @dots{} @var{dirN}'' | |
1544 Deprecated in favor of @option{--with-sysroot}. | |
1545 Specifies a list of directories which contain the target runtime | |
1546 libraries. These libraries will be copied into the @file{gcc} install | |
1547 directory. If the directory list is omitted, this option has no | |
1548 effect. | |
1549 | |
1550 @item --with-newlib | |
1551 Specifies that @samp{newlib} is | |
1552 being used as the target C library. This causes @code{__eprintf} to be | |
1553 omitted from @file{libgcc.a} on the assumption that it will be provided by | |
1554 @samp{newlib}. | |
1555 | |
1556 @item --with-build-time-tools=@var{dir} | |
1557 Specifies where to find the set of target tools (assembler, linker, etc.) | |
1558 that will be used while building GCC itself. This option can be useful | |
1559 if the directory layouts are different between the system you are building | |
1560 GCC on, and the system where you will deploy it. | |
1561 | |
1562 For example, on a @option{ia64-hp-hpux} system, you may have the GNU | |
1563 assembler and linker in @file{/usr/bin}, and the native tools in a | |
1564 different path, and build a toolchain that expects to find the | |
1565 native tools in @file{/usr/bin}. | |
1566 | |
1567 When you use this option, you should ensure that @var{dir} includes | |
1568 @command{ar}, @command{as}, @command{ld}, @command{nm}, | |
1569 @command{ranlib} and @command{strip} if necessary, and possibly | |
1570 @command{objdump}. Otherwise, GCC may use an inconsistent set of | |
1571 tools. | |
1572 @end table | |
1573 | |
1574 @subheading Java-Specific Options | |
1575 | |
1576 The following option applies to the build of the Java front end. | |
1577 | |
1578 @table @code | |
1579 @item --disable-libgcj | |
1580 Specify that the run-time libraries | |
1581 used by GCJ should not be built. This is useful in case you intend | |
1582 to use GCJ with some other run-time, or you're going to install it | |
1583 separately, or it just happens not to build on your particular | |
1584 machine. In general, if the Java front end is enabled, the GCJ | |
1585 libraries will be enabled too, unless they're known to not work on | |
1586 the target platform. If GCJ is enabled but @samp{libgcj} isn't built, you | |
1587 may need to port it; in this case, before modifying the top-level | |
1588 @file{configure.in} so that @samp{libgcj} is enabled by default on this platform, | |
1589 you may use @option{--enable-libgcj} to override the default. | |
1590 | |
1591 @end table | |
1592 | |
1593 The following options apply to building @samp{libgcj}. | |
1594 | |
1595 @subsubheading General Options | |
1596 | |
1597 @table @code | |
1598 @item --enable-java-maintainer-mode | |
1599 By default the @samp{libjava} build will not attempt to compile the | |
1600 @file{.java} source files to @file{.class}. Instead, it will use the | |
1601 @file{.class} files from the source tree. If you use this option you | |
1602 must have executables named @command{ecj1} and @command{gjavah} in your path | |
1603 for use by the build. You must use this option if you intend to | |
1604 modify any @file{.java} files in @file{libjava}. | |
1605 | |
1606 @item --with-java-home=@var{dirname} | |
1607 This @samp{libjava} option overrides the default value of the | |
1608 @samp{java.home} system property. It is also used to set | |
1609 @samp{sun.boot.class.path} to @file{@var{dirname}/lib/rt.jar}. By | |
1610 default @samp{java.home} is set to @file{@var{prefix}} and | |
1611 @samp{sun.boot.class.path} to | |
1612 @file{@var{datadir}/java/libgcj-@var{version}.jar}. | |
1613 | |
1614 @item --with-ecj-jar=@var{filename} | |
1615 This option can be used to specify the location of an external jar | |
1616 file containing the Eclipse Java compiler. A specially modified | |
1617 version of this compiler is used by @command{gcj} to parse | |
1618 @file{.java} source files. If this option is given, the | |
1619 @samp{libjava} build will create and install an @file{ecj1} executable | |
1620 which uses this jar file at runtime. | |
1621 | |
1622 If this option is not given, but an @file{ecj.jar} file is found in | |
1623 the topmost source tree at configure time, then the @samp{libgcj} | |
1624 build will create and install @file{ecj1}, and will also install the | |
1625 discovered @file{ecj.jar} into a suitable place in the install tree. | |
1626 | |
1627 If @file{ecj1} is not installed, then the user will have to supply one | |
1628 on his path in order for @command{gcj} to properly parse @file{.java} | |
1629 source files. A suitable jar is available from | |
1630 @uref{ftp://sourceware.org/pub/java/}. | |
1631 | |
1632 @item --disable-getenv-properties | |
1633 Don't set system properties from @env{GCJ_PROPERTIES}. | |
1634 | |
1635 @item --enable-hash-synchronization | |
1636 Use a global hash table for monitor locks. Ordinarily, | |
1637 @samp{libgcj}'s @samp{configure} script automatically makes | |
1638 the correct choice for this option for your platform. Only use | |
1639 this if you know you need the library to be configured differently. | |
1640 | |
1641 @item --enable-interpreter | |
1642 Enable the Java interpreter. The interpreter is automatically | |
1643 enabled by default on all platforms that support it. This option | |
1644 is really only useful if you want to disable the interpreter | |
1645 (using @option{--disable-interpreter}). | |
1646 | |
1647 @item --disable-java-net | |
1648 Disable java.net. This disables the native part of java.net only, | |
1649 using non-functional stubs for native method implementations. | |
1650 | |
1651 @item --disable-jvmpi | |
1652 Disable JVMPI support. | |
1653 | |
1654 @item --disable-libgcj-bc | |
1655 Disable BC ABI compilation of certain parts of libgcj. By default, | |
1656 some portions of libgcj are compiled with @option{-findirect-dispatch} | |
1657 and @option{-fno-indirect-classes}, allowing them to be overridden at | |
1658 run-time. | |
1659 | |
1660 If @option{--disable-libgcj-bc} is specified, libgcj is built without | |
1661 these options. This allows the compile-time linker to resolve | |
1662 dependencies when statically linking to libgcj. However it makes it | |
1663 impossible to override the affected portions of libgcj at run-time. | |
1664 | |
1665 @item --enable-reduced-reflection | |
1666 Build most of libgcj with @option{-freduced-reflection}. This reduces | |
1667 the size of libgcj at the expense of not being able to do accurate | |
1668 reflection on the classes it contains. This option is safe if you | |
1669 know that code using libgcj will never use reflection on the standard | |
1670 runtime classes in libgcj (including using serialization, RMI or CORBA). | |
1671 | |
1672 @item --with-ecos | |
1673 Enable runtime eCos target support. | |
1674 | |
1675 @item --without-libffi | |
1676 Don't use @samp{libffi}. This will disable the interpreter and JNI | |
1677 support as well, as these require @samp{libffi} to work. | |
1678 | |
1679 @item --enable-libgcj-debug | |
1680 Enable runtime debugging code. | |
1681 | |
1682 @item --enable-libgcj-multifile | |
1683 If specified, causes all @file{.java} source files to be | |
1684 compiled into @file{.class} files in one invocation of | |
1685 @samp{gcj}. This can speed up build time, but is more | |
1686 resource-intensive. If this option is unspecified or | |
1687 disabled, @samp{gcj} is invoked once for each @file{.java} | |
1688 file to compile into a @file{.class} file. | |
1689 | |
1690 @item --with-libiconv-prefix=DIR | |
1691 Search for libiconv in @file{DIR/include} and @file{DIR/lib}. | |
1692 | |
1693 @item --enable-sjlj-exceptions | |
1694 Force use of the @code{setjmp}/@code{longjmp}-based scheme for exceptions. | |
1695 @samp{configure} ordinarily picks the correct value based on the platform. | |
1696 Only use this option if you are sure you need a different setting. | |
1697 | |
1698 @item --with-system-zlib | |
1699 Use installed @samp{zlib} rather than that included with GCC@. | |
1700 | |
1701 @item --with-win32-nlsapi=ansi, unicows or unicode | |
1702 Indicates how MinGW @samp{libgcj} translates between UNICODE | |
1703 characters and the Win32 API@. | |
1704 | |
1705 @item --enable-java-home | |
1706 If enabled, this creates a JPackage compatible SDK environment during install. | |
1707 Note that if --enable-java-home is used, --with-arch-directory=ARCH must also | |
1708 be specified. | |
1709 | |
1710 @item --with-arch-directory=ARCH | |
1711 Specifies the name to use for the @file{jre/lib/ARCH} directory in the SDK | |
1712 environment created when --enable-java-home is passed. Typical names for this | |
1713 directory include i386, amd64, ia64, etc. | |
1714 | |
1715 @item --with-os-directory=DIR | |
1716 Specifies the OS directory for the SDK include directory. This is set to auto | |
1717 detect, and is typically 'linux'. | |
1718 | |
1719 @item --with-origin-name=NAME | |
1720 Specifies the JPackage origin name. This defaults to the 'gcj' in | |
1721 java-1.5.0-gcj. | |
1722 | |
1723 @item --with-arch-suffix=SUFFIX | |
1724 Specifies the suffix for the sdk directory. Defaults to the empty string. | |
1725 Examples include '.x86_64' in 'java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0.x86_64'. | |
1726 | |
1727 @item --with-jvm-root-dir=DIR | |
1728 Specifies where to install the SDK. Default is $(prefix)/lib/jvm. | |
1729 | |
1730 @item --with-jvm-jar-dir=DIR | |
1731 Specifies where to install jars. Default is $(prefix)/lib/jvm-exports. | |
1732 | |
1733 @item --with-python-dir=DIR | |
1734 Specifies where to install the Python modules used for aot-compile. DIR should | |
1735 not include the prefix used in installation. For example, if the Python modules | |
1736 are to be installed in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages, then | |
1737 --with-python-dir=/lib/python2.5/site-packages should be passed. If this is | |
1738 not specified, then the Python modules are installed in $(prefix)/share/python. | |
1739 | |
1740 @item --enable-aot-compile-rpm | |
1741 Adds aot-compile-rpm to the list of installed scripts. | |
1742 | |
1743 @table @code | |
1744 @item ansi | |

1819 @cindex Installing GCC: Building | |
1820 | |
1821 Now that GCC is configured, you are ready to build the compiler and | |
1822 runtime libraries. | |
1823 | |
1824 Some commands executed when making the compiler may fail (return a | |
1825 nonzero status) and be ignored by @command{make}. These failures, which | |
1826 are often due to files that were not found, are expected, and can safely | |
1827 be ignored. | |
1828 | |
1829 It is normal to have compiler warnings when compiling certain files. | |
1830 Unless you are a GCC developer, you can generally ignore these warnings | |
1831 unless they cause compilation to fail. Developers should attempt to fix | |
1832 any warnings encountered, however they can temporarily continue past | |
1833 warnings-as-errors by specifying the configure flag | |
1834 @option{--disable-werror}. | |
1835 | |
1836 On certain old systems, defining certain environment variables such as | |
1837 @env{CC} can interfere with the functioning of @command{make}. | |
1838 | |
1839 If you encounter seemingly strange errors when trying to build the | |
1840 compiler in a directory other than the source directory, it could be | |
1841 because you have previously configured the compiler in the source | |
1842 directory. Make sure you have done all the necessary preparations. | |
1843 | |
1844 If you build GCC on a BSD system using a directory stored in an old System | |
1845 V file system, problems may occur in running @command{fixincludes} if the | |
1846 System V file system doesn't support symbolic links. These problems | |
1847 result in a failure to fix the declaration of @code{size_t} in | |
1848 @file{sys/types.h}. If you find that @code{size_t} is a signed type and | |
1849 that type mismatches occur, this could be the cause. | |
1850 | |
1851 The solution is not to use such a directory for building GCC@. | |
1852 | |
1853 Similarly, when building from SVN or snapshots, or if you modify | |
1854 @file{*.l} files, you need the Flex lexical analyzer generator | |
1855 installed. If you do not modify @file{*.l} files, releases contain | |
1856 the Flex-generated files and you do not need Flex installed to build | |
1857 them. There is still one Flex-based lexical analyzer (part of the | |
1858 build machinery, not of GCC itself) that is used even if you only | |
1859 build the C front end. | |
1860 | |
1861 When building from SVN or snapshots, or if you modify Texinfo | |
1862 documentation, you need version 4.7 or later of Texinfo installed if you | |
1863 want Info documentation to be regenerated. Releases contain Info | |
1864 documentation pre-built for the unmodified documentation in the release. | |
1865 | |
1866 @section Building a native compiler | |
1867 | |
1868 For a native build, the default configuration is to perform | |
1869 a 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler when @samp{make} is invoked. | |
1870 This will build the entire GCC system and ensure that it compiles | |
1871 itself correctly. It can be disabled with the @option{--disable-bootstrap} | |
1872 parameter to @samp{configure}, but bootstrapping is suggested because | |
1873 the compiler will be tested more completely and could also have | |
1874 better performance. | |
1875 | |
1876 The bootstrapping process will complete the following steps: | |
1877 | |
1878 @itemize @bullet | |
1879 @item | |
1880 Build tools necessary to build the compiler. | |
1881 | |
1882 @item | |
1883 Perform a 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler. This includes building | |
1884 three times the target tools for use by the compiler such as binutils | |
1885 (bfd, binutils, gas, gprof, ld, and opcodes) if they have been | |
1886 individually linked or moved into the top level GCC source tree before | |
1887 configuring. | |
1888 | |
1889 @item | |
1890 Perform a comparison test of the stage2 and stage3 compilers. | |
1891 | |
1892 @item | |
1893 Build runtime libraries using the stage3 compiler from the previous step. | |
1894 | |
1895 @end itemize | |
1896 | |
1897 If you are short on disk space you might consider @samp{make | |
1898 bootstrap-lean} instead. The sequence of compilation is the | |
1899 same described above, but object files from the stage1 and | |
1900 stage2 of the 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler are deleted as | |
1901 soon as they are no longer needed. | |
1902 | |
1903 If you wish to use non-default GCC flags when compiling the stage2 | |
1904 and stage3 compilers, set @code{BOOT_CFLAGS} on the command line when | |
1905 doing @samp{make}. For example, if you want to save additional space | |
1906 during the bootstrap and in the final installation as well, you can | |
1907 build the compiler binaries without debugging information as in the | |
1908 following example. This will save roughly 40% of disk space both for | |
1909 the bootstrap and the final installation. (Libraries will still contain | |
1910 debugging information.) | |
1911 | |
1912 @smallexample | |
1913 make BOOT_CFLAGS='-O' bootstrap | |
1914 @end smallexample | |
1915 | |
1916 You can place non-default optimization flags into @code{BOOT_CFLAGS}; they | |
1917 are less well tested here than the default of @samp{-g -O2}, but should | |
1918 still work. In a few cases, you may find that you need to specify special | |
1919 flags such as @option{-msoft-float} here to complete the bootstrap; or, | |
1920 if the native compiler miscompiles the stage1 compiler, you may need | |
1921 to work around this, by choosing @code{BOOT_CFLAGS} to avoid the parts | |
1922 of the stage1 compiler that were miscompiled, or by using @samp{make | |
1923 bootstrap4} to increase the number of stages of bootstrap. | |
1924 | |
1925 @code{BOOT_CFLAGS} does not apply to bootstrapped target libraries. | |
1926 Since these are always compiled with the compiler currently being | |
1927 bootstrapped, you can use @code{CFLAGS_FOR_TARGET} to modify their | |
1928 compilation flags, as for non-bootstrapped target libraries. | |
1929 Again, if the native compiler miscompiles the stage1 compiler, you may | |
1930 need to work around this by avoiding non-working parts of the stage1 | |
1931 compiler. Use @code{STAGE1_LIBCFLAGS} to this end. | |
1932 | |
1933 If you used the flag @option{--enable-languages=@dots{}} to restrict | |
1934 the compilers to be built, only those you've actually enabled will be | |
1935 built. This will of course only build those runtime libraries, for | |
1936 which the particular compiler has been built. Please note, | |
1937 that re-defining @env{LANGUAGES} when calling @samp{make} | |
1938 @strong{does not} work anymore! | |
1939 | |
1940 If the comparison of stage2 and stage3 fails, this normally indicates | |
1941 that the stage2 compiler has compiled GCC incorrectly, and is therefore | |
1942 a potentially serious bug which you should investigate and report. (On | |
1943 a few systems, meaningful comparison of object files is impossible; they | |
1944 always appear ``different''. If you encounter this problem, you will | |
1945 need to disable comparison in the @file{Makefile}.) | |
1946 | |
1947 If you do not want to bootstrap your compiler, you can configure with | |
1948 @option{--disable-bootstrap}. In particular cases, you may want to | |
1949 bootstrap your compiler even if the target system is not the same as | |
1950 the one you are building on: for example, you could build a | |
1951 @code{powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu} toolchain on a | |
1952 @code{powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu} host. In this case, pass | |
1953 @option{--enable-bootstrap} to the configure script. | |
1954 | |
1955 | |
1956 @section Building a cross compiler | |
1957 | |
1958 When building a cross compiler, it is not generally possible to do a | |
1959 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler. This makes for an interesting problem | |
1960 as parts of GCC can only be built with GCC@. | |
1961 | |
1962 To build a cross compiler, we first recommend building and installing a | |
1963 native compiler. You can then use the native GCC compiler to build the | |
1964 cross compiler. The installed native compiler needs to be GCC version | |
1965 2.95 or later. | |
1966 | |
1967 If the cross compiler is to be built with support for the Java | |
1968 programming language and the ability to compile .java source files is | |
1969 desired, the installed native compiler used to build the cross | |
1970 compiler needs to be the same GCC version as the cross compiler. In | |
1971 addition the cross compiler needs to be configured with | |
1972 @option{--with-ecj-jar=@dots{}}. | |
1973 | |
1974 Assuming you have already installed a native copy of GCC and configured | |
1975 your cross compiler, issue the command @command{make}, which performs the | |
1976 following steps: | |
1977 | |
1978 @itemize @bullet | |
1979 @item | |
1980 Build host tools necessary to build the compiler. | |
1981 | |
1982 @item | |
1983 Build target tools for use by the compiler such as binutils (bfd, | |
1984 binutils, gas, gprof, ld, and opcodes) | |
1985 if they have been individually linked or moved into the top level GCC source | |
1986 tree before configuring. | |
1987 | |
1988 @item | |
1989 Build the compiler (single stage only). | |
1990 | |
1991 @item | |
1992 Build runtime libraries using the compiler from the previous step. | |
1993 @end itemize | |
1994 | |
1995 Note that if an error occurs in any step the make process will exit. | |
1996 | |
1997 If you are not building GNU binutils in the same source tree as GCC, | |
1998 you will need a cross-assembler and cross-linker installed before | |
1999 configuring GCC@. Put them in the directory | |
2000 @file{@var{prefix}/@var{target}/bin}. Here is a table of the tools | |
2001 you should put in this directory: | |
2002 | |
2003 @table @file | |
2004 @item as | |
2005 This should be the cross-assembler. | |
2006 | |
2007 @item ld | |
2008 This should be the cross-linker. | |
2009 | |
2010 @item ar | |
2011 This should be the cross-archiver: a program which can manipulate | |
2012 archive files (linker libraries) in the target machine's format. | |
2013 | |
2014 @item ranlib | |
2015 This should be a program to construct a symbol table in an archive file. | |
2016 @end table | |
2017 | |
2018 The installation of GCC will find these programs in that directory, | |
2019 and copy or link them to the proper place to for the cross-compiler to | |
2020 find them when run later. | |
2021 | |
2022 The easiest way to provide these files is to build the Binutils package. | |
2023 Configure it with the same @option{--host} and @option{--target} | |
2024 options that you use for configuring GCC, then build and install | |
2025 them. They install their executables automatically into the proper | |
2026 directory. Alas, they do not support all the targets that GCC | |
2027 supports. | |
2028 | |
2029 If you are not building a C library in the same source tree as GCC, | |
2030 you should also provide the target libraries and headers before | |
2031 configuring GCC, specifying the directories with | |
2032 @option{--with-sysroot} or @option{--with-headers} and | |
2033 @option{--with-libs}. Many targets also require ``start files'' such | |
2034 as @file{crt0.o} and | |
2035 @file{crtn.o} which are linked into each executable. There may be several | |
2036 alternatives for @file{crt0.o}, for use with profiling or other | |
2037 compilation options. Check your target's definition of | |
2038 @code{STARTFILE_SPEC} to find out what start files it uses. | |
2039 | |
2040 @section Building in parallel | |
2041 | |
2042 GNU Make 3.79 and above, which is necessary to build GCC, support | |
2043 building in parallel. To activate this, you can use @samp{make -j 2} | |
2044 instead of @samp{make}. You can also specify a bigger number, and | |
2045 in most cases using a value greater than the number of processors in | |
2046 your machine will result in fewer and shorter I/O latency hits, thus | |
2047 improving overall throughput; this is especially true for slow drives | |
2048 and network filesystems. | |
2049 | |
2050 @section Building the Ada compiler | |
2051 | |
2052 In order to build GNAT, the Ada compiler, you need a working GNAT | |
2053 compiler (GCC version 3.4 or later). | |
2054 This includes GNAT tools such as @command{gnatmake} and | |
2055 @command{gnatlink}, since the Ada front end is written in Ada and | |
2056 uses some GNAT-specific extensions. | |
2057 | |
2058 In order to build a cross compiler, it is suggested to install | |
2059 the new compiler as native first, and then use it to build the cross | |
2060 compiler. | |
2061 | |
2062 @command{configure} does not test whether the GNAT installation works | |
2063 and has a sufficiently recent version; if too old a GNAT version is | |
2064 installed, the build will fail unless @option{--enable-languages} is | |
2065 used to disable building the Ada front end. | |
2066 | |
2067 @env{ADA_INCLUDE_PATH} and @env{ADA_OBJECT_PATH} environment variables | |
2068 must not be set when building the Ada compiler, the Ada tools, or the | |
2069 Ada runtime libraries. You can check that your build environment is clean | |
2070 by verifying that @samp{gnatls -v} lists only one explicit path in each | |
2071 section. | |
2072 | |
2073 @section Building with profile feedback | |
2074 | |
2075 It is possible to use profile feedback to optimize the compiler itself. This | |
2076 should result in a faster compiler binary. Experiments done on x86 using gcc | |
2077 3.3 showed approximately 7 percent speedup on compiling C programs. To | |
2078 bootstrap the compiler with profile feedback, use @code{make profiledbootstrap}. | |
2079 | |
2080 When @samp{make profiledbootstrap} is run, it will first build a @code{stage1} | |
2081 compiler. This compiler is used to build a @code{stageprofile} compiler | |
2082 instrumented to collect execution counts of instruction and branch | |
2083 probabilities. Then runtime libraries are compiled with profile collected. | |
2084 Finally a @code{stagefeedback} compiler is built using the information collected. | |
2085 | |
2086 Unlike standard bootstrap, several additional restrictions apply. The | |
2087 compiler used to build @code{stage1} needs to support a 64-bit integral type. | |
2088 It is recommended to only use GCC for this. Also parallel make is currently | |
2089 not supported since collisions in profile collecting may occur. | |

2110 @cindex Installing GCC: Testing | |
2111 @cindex Testsuite | |
2112 | |
2113 Before you install GCC, we encourage you to run the testsuites and to | |
2114 compare your results with results from a similar configuration that have | |
2115 been submitted to the | |
2116 @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/,,gcc-testresults mailing list}. | |
2117 Some of these archived results are linked from the build status lists | |
2118 at @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html}, although not everyone who | |
2119 reports a successful build runs the testsuites and submits the results. | |
2120 This step is optional and may require you to download additional software, | |
2121 but it can give you confidence in your new GCC installation or point out | |
2122 problems before you install and start using your new GCC@. | |
2123 | |
2124 First, you must have @uref{download.html,,downloaded the testsuites}. | |
2125 These are part of the full distribution, but if you downloaded the | |
2126 ``core'' compiler plus any front ends, you must download the testsuites | |
2127 separately. | |
2128 | |
2129 Second, you must have the testing tools installed. This includes | |
2130 @uref{http://www.gnu.org/software/dejagnu/,,DejaGnu}, Tcl, and Expect; | |
2131 the DejaGnu site has links to these. | |
2132 | |
2133 If the directories where @command{runtest} and @command{expect} were | |
2134 installed are not in the @env{PATH}, you may need to set the following | |
2135 environment variables appropriately, as in the following example (which | |
2136 assumes that DejaGnu has been installed under @file{/usr/local}): | |
2137 | |
2138 @smallexample | |
2139 TCL_LIBRARY = /usr/local/share/tcl8.0 | |
2140 DEJAGNULIBS = /usr/local/share/dejagnu | |
2141 @end smallexample | |
2142 | |
2143 (On systems such as Cygwin, these paths are required to be actual | |
2144 paths, not mounts or links; presumably this is due to some lack of | |
2145 portability in the DejaGnu code.) | |
2146 | |
2147 | |
2148 Finally, you can run the testsuite (which may take a long time): | |
2149 @smallexample | |
2150 cd @var{objdir}; make -k check | |
2151 @end smallexample | |
2152 | |
2153 This will test various components of GCC, such as compiler | |
2154 front ends and runtime libraries. While running the testsuite, DejaGnu | |
2155 might emit some harmless messages resembling | |
2156 @samp{WARNING: Couldn't find the global config file.} or | |
2157 @samp{WARNING: Couldn't find tool init file} that can be ignored. | |
2158 | |
2159 If you are testing a cross-compiler, you may want to run the testsuite | |
2160 on a simulator as described at @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/simtest-howto.html}. | |
2161 | |
2162 @section How can you run the testsuite on selected tests? | |
2163 | |
2164 In order to run sets of tests selectively, there are targets | |
2165 @samp{make check-gcc} and @samp{make check-g++} | |
2166 in the @file{gcc} subdirectory of the object directory. You can also | |
2167 just run @samp{make check} in a subdirectory of the object directory. | |
2168 | |
2169 | |
2170 A more selective way to just run all @command{gcc} execute tests in the | |
2171 testsuite is to use | |
2172 | |
2173 @smallexample | |
2174 make check-gcc RUNTESTFLAGS="execute.exp @var{other-options}" | |
2175 @end smallexample | |
2176 | |
2177 Likewise, in order to run only the @command{g++} ``old-deja'' tests in | |
2178 the testsuite with filenames matching @samp{9805*}, you would use | |
2179 | |
2180 @smallexample | |
2181 make check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="old-deja.exp=9805* @var{other-options}" | |
2182 @end smallexample | |
2183 | |
2184 The @file{*.exp} files are located in the testsuite directories of the GCC | |
2185 source, the most important ones being @file{compile.exp}, | |
2186 @file{execute.exp}, @file{dg.exp} and @file{old-deja.exp}. | |
2187 To get a list of the possible @file{*.exp} files, pipe the | |
2188 output of @samp{make check} into a file and look at the | |

2191 @section Passing options and running multiple testsuites | |
2192 | |
2193 You can pass multiple options to the testsuite using the | |
2194 @samp{--target_board} option of DejaGNU, either passed as part of | |
2195 @samp{RUNTESTFLAGS}, or directly to @command{runtest} if you prefer to | |
2196 work outside the makefiles. For example, | |
2197 | |
2198 @smallexample | |
2199 make check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=unix/-O3/-fmerge-constants" | |
2200 @end smallexample | |
2201 | |
2202 will run the standard @command{g++} testsuites (``unix'' is the target name | |
2203 for a standard native testsuite situation), passing | |
2204 @samp{-O3 -fmerge-constants} to the compiler on every test, i.e., | |
2205 slashes separate options. | |
2206 | |
2207 You can run the testsuites multiple times using combinations of options | |
2208 with a syntax similar to the brace expansion of popular shells: | |
2209 | |
2210 @smallexample | |
2211 @dots{}"--target_board=arm-sim\@{-mhard-float,-msoft-float\@}\@{-O1,-O2,-O3,\@}" | |
2212 @end smallexample | |
2213 | |
2214 (Note the empty option caused by the trailing comma in the final group.) | |
2215 The following will run each testsuite eight times using the @samp{arm-sim} | |
2216 target, as if you had specified all possible combinations yourself: | |
2217 | |
2218 @smallexample | |
2219 --target_board=arm-sim/-mhard-float/-O1 | |
2220 --target_board=arm-sim/-mhard-float/-O2 | |
2221 --target_board=arm-sim/-mhard-float/-O3 | |
2222 --target_board=arm-sim/-mhard-float | |
2223 --target_board=arm-sim/-msoft-float/-O1 | |
2224 --target_board=arm-sim/-msoft-float/-O2 | |
2225 --target_board=arm-sim/-msoft-float/-O3 | |
2226 --target_board=arm-sim/-msoft-float | |
2227 @end smallexample | |
2228 | |
2229 They can be combined as many times as you wish, in arbitrary ways. This | |
2230 list: | |
2231 | |
2232 @smallexample | |
2233 @dots{}"--target_board=unix/-Wextra\@{-O3,-fno-strength\@}\@{-fomit-frame,\@}" | |
2234 @end smallexample | |
2235 | |
2236 will generate four combinations, all involving @samp{-Wextra}. | |
2237 | |
2238 The disadvantage to this method is that the testsuites are run in serial, | |
2239 which is a waste on multiprocessor systems. For users with GNU Make and | |
2240 a shell which performs brace expansion, you can run the testsuites in | |
2241 parallel by having the shell perform the combinations and @command{make} | |
2242 do the parallel runs. Instead of using @samp{--target_board}, use a | |
2243 special makefile target: | |
2244 | |
2245 @smallexample | |
2246 make -j@var{N} check-@var{testsuite}//@var{test-target}/@var{option1}/@var{option2}/@dots{} | |
2247 @end smallexample | |
2248 | |
2249 For example, | |
2250 | |
2251 @smallexample | |
2252 make -j3 check-gcc//sh-hms-sim/@{-m1,-m2,-m3,-m3e,-m4@}/@{,-nofpu@} | |
2253 @end smallexample | |
2254 | |
2255 will run three concurrent ``make-gcc'' testsuites, eventually testing all | |
2256 ten combinations as described above. Note that this is currently only | |
2257 supported in the @file{gcc} subdirectory. (To see how this works, try | |
2258 typing @command{echo} before the example given here.) | |
2259 | |
2260 | |
2261 @section Additional testing for Java Class Libraries | |
2262 | |
2263 The Java runtime tests can be executed via @samp{make check} | |
2264 in the @file{@var{target}/libjava/testsuite} directory in | |
2265 the build tree. | |
2266 | |
2267 The @uref{http://sourceware.org/mauve/,,Mauve Project} provides | |
2268 a suite of tests for the Java Class Libraries. This suite can be run | |
2269 as part of libgcj testing by placing the Mauve tree within the libjava | |
2270 testsuite at @file{libjava/testsuite/libjava.mauve/mauve}, or by | |
2271 specifying the location of that tree when invoking @samp{make}, as in | |
2272 @samp{make MAUVEDIR=~/mauve check}. | |
2273 | |
2274 @section How to interpret test results | |
2275 | |
2276 The result of running the testsuite are various @file{*.sum} and @file{*.log} | |
2277 files in the testsuite subdirectories. The @file{*.log} files contain a | |
2278 detailed log of the compiler invocations and the corresponding | |
2279 results, the @file{*.sum} files summarize the results. These summaries | |
2280 contain status codes for all tests: | |
2281 | |
2282 @itemize @bullet | |
2283 @item | |
2284 PASS: the test passed as expected | |
2285 @item | |
2286 XPASS: the test unexpectedly passed | |
2287 @item | |
2288 FAIL: the test unexpectedly failed | |
2289 @item | |
2290 XFAIL: the test failed as expected | |
2291 @item | |
2292 UNSUPPORTED: the test is not supported on this platform | |
2293 @item | |
2294 ERROR: the testsuite detected an error | |
2295 @item | |
2296 WARNING: the testsuite detected a possible problem | |
2297 @end itemize | |
2298 | |
2299 It is normal for some tests to report unexpected failures. At the | |
2300 current time the testing harness does not allow fine grained control | |
2301 over whether or not a test is expected to fail. This problem should | |
2302 be fixed in future releases. | |
2303 | |
2304 | |
2305 @section Submitting test results | |
2306 | |
2307 If you want to report the results to the GCC project, use the | |
2308 @file{contrib/test_summary} shell script. Start it in the @var{objdir} with | |
2309 | |
2310 @smallexample | |
2311 @var{srcdir}/contrib/test_summary -p your_commentary.txt \ | |
2312 -m gcc-testresults@@gcc.gnu.org |sh | |
2313 @end smallexample | |
2314 | |
2315 This script uses the @command{Mail} program to send the results, so | |
2316 make sure it is in your @env{PATH}. The file @file{your_commentary.txt} is | |
2317 prepended to the testsuite summary and should contain any special | |
2318 remarks you have on your results or your build environment. Please | |
2319 do not edit the testsuite result block or the subject line, as these | |
2320 messages may be automatically processed. | |

2338 @chapter Installing GCC: Final installation | |
2339 @end ifnothtml | |
2340 | |
2341 Now that GCC has been built (and optionally tested), you can install it with | |
2342 @smallexample | |
2343 cd @var{objdir}; make install | |
2344 @end smallexample | |
2345 | |
2346 We strongly recommend to install into a target directory where there is | |
2347 no previous version of GCC present. Also, the GNAT runtime should not | |
2348 be stripped, as this would break certain features of the debugger that | |
2349 depend on this debugging information (catching Ada exceptions for | |
2350 instance). | |
2351 | |
2352 That step completes the installation of GCC; user level binaries can | |
2353 be found in @file{@var{prefix}/bin} where @var{prefix} is the value | |
2354 you specified with the @option{--prefix} to configure (or | |
2355 @file{/usr/local} by default). (If you specified @option{--bindir}, | |
2356 that directory will be used instead; otherwise, if you specified | |
2357 @option{--exec-prefix}, @file{@var{exec-prefix}/bin} will be used.) | |
2358 Headers for the C++ and Java libraries are installed in | |
2359 @file{@var{prefix}/include}; libraries in @file{@var{libdir}} | |
2360 (normally @file{@var{prefix}/lib}); internal parts of the compiler in | |
2361 @file{@var{libdir}/gcc} and @file{@var{libexecdir}/gcc}; documentation | |
2362 in info format in @file{@var{infodir}} (normally | |
2363 @file{@var{prefix}/info}). | |
2364 | |
2365 When installing cross-compilers, GCC's executables | |
2366 are not only installed into @file{@var{bindir}}, that | |
2367 is, @file{@var{exec-prefix}/bin}, but additionally into | |
2368 @file{@var{exec-prefix}/@var{target-alias}/bin}, if that directory | |
2369 exists. Typically, such @dfn{tooldirs} hold target-specific | |
2370 binutils, including assembler and linker. | |
2371 | |
2372 Installation into a temporary staging area or into a @command{chroot} | |
2373 jail can be achieved with the command | |
2374 | |
2375 @smallexample | |
2376 make DESTDIR=@var{path-to-rootdir} install | |
2377 @end smallexample | |
2378 | |
2379 @noindent where @var{path-to-rootdir} is the absolute path of | |
2380 a directory relative to which all installation paths will be | |
2381 interpreted. Note that the directory specified by @code{DESTDIR} | |
2382 need not exist yet; it will be created if necessary. | |
2383 | |
2384 There is a subtle point with tooldirs and @code{DESTDIR}: | |
2385 If you relocate a cross-compiler installation with | |
2386 e.g.@: @samp{DESTDIR=@var{rootdir}}, then the directory | |
2387 @file{@var{rootdir}/@var{exec-prefix}/@var{target-alias}/bin} will | |
2388 be filled with duplicated GCC executables only if it already exists, | |
2389 it will not be created otherwise. This is regarded as a feature, | |
2390 not as a bug, because it gives slightly more control to the packagers | |
2391 using the @code{DESTDIR} feature. | |
2392 | |
2393 If you are bootstrapping a released version of GCC then please | |
2394 quickly review the build status page for your release, available from | |
2395 @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html}. | |
2396 If your system is not listed for the version of GCC that you built, | |
2397 send a note to | |
2398 @email{gcc@@gcc.gnu.org} indicating | |
2399 that you successfully built and installed GCC@. | |
2400 Include the following information: | |
2401 | |
2402 @itemize @bullet | |
2403 @item | |
2404 Output from running @file{@var{srcdir}/config.guess}. Do not send | |
2405 that file itself, just the one-line output from running it. | |
2406 | |
2407 @item | |
2408 The output of @samp{gcc -v} for your newly installed @command{gcc}. | |
2409 This tells us which version of GCC you built and the options you passed to | |
2410 configure. | |
2411 | |
2412 @item | |
2413 Whether you enabled all languages or a subset of them. If you used a | |
2414 full distribution then this information is part of the configure | |
2415 options in the output of @samp{gcc -v}, but if you downloaded the | |
2416 ``core'' compiler plus additional front ends then it isn't apparent | |
2417 which ones you built unless you tell us about it. | |
2418 | |
2419 @item | |
2420 If the build was for GNU/Linux, also include: | |
2421 @itemize @bullet | |
2422 @item | |
2423 The distribution name and version (e.g., Red Hat 7.1 or Debian 2.2.3); | |
2424 this information should be available from @file{/etc/issue}. | |
2425 | |
2426 @item | |
2427 The version of the Linux kernel, available from @samp{uname --version} | |
2428 or @samp{uname -a}. | |
2429 | |
2430 @item | |
2431 The version of glibc you used; for RPM-based systems like Red Hat, | |
2432 Mandrake, and SuSE type @samp{rpm -q glibc} to get the glibc version, | |
2433 and on systems like Debian and Progeny use @samp{dpkg -l libc6}. | |
2434 @end itemize | |
2435 For other systems, you can include similar information if you think it is | |
2436 relevant. | |
2437 | |
2438 @item | |
2439 Any other information that you think would be useful to people building | |
2440 GCC on the same configuration. The new entry in the build status list | |

2457 | |
2458 If you want to print the GCC manuals, do @samp{cd @var{objdir}; make | |
2459 dvi}. You will need to have @command{texi2dvi} (version at least 4.7) | |
2460 and @TeX{} installed. This creates a number of @file{.dvi} files in | |
2461 subdirectories of @file{@var{objdir}}; these may be converted for | |
2462 printing with programs such as @command{dvips}. Alternately, by using | |
2463 @samp{make pdf} in place of @samp{make dvi}, you can create documentation | |
2464 in the form of @file{.pdf} files; this requires @command{texi2pdf}, which | |
2465 is included with Texinfo version 4.8 and later. You can also | |
2466 @uref{http://www.gnu.org/order/order.html,,buy printed manuals from the | |
2467 Free Software Foundation}, though such manuals may not be for the most | |
2468 recent version of GCC@. | |

2470 If you would like to generate online HTML documentation, do @samp{cd | |

2755 | |
2756 We require binutils 2.11.2 or newer. | |
2757 Previous binutils releases had a number of problems with DWARF 2 | |
2758 debugging information, not the least of which is incorrect linking of | |
2759 shared libraries. | |

2765 Systems using processors that implement the DEC Alpha architecture and | |
2766 are running the DEC/Compaq Unix (DEC OSF/1, Digital UNIX, or Compaq | |
2767 Tru64 UNIX) operating system, for example the DEC Alpha AXP systems. | |
2768 | |
2769 As of GCC 3.2, versions before @code{alpha*-dec-osf4} are no longer | |
2770 supported. (These are the versions which identify themselves as DEC | |
2771 OSF/1.) | |
2772 | |
2773 In Digital Unix V4.0, virtual memory exhausted bootstrap failures | |
2774 may be fixed by configuring with @option{--with-gc=simple}, | |
2775 reconfiguring Kernel Virtual Memory and Swap parameters | |
2776 per the @command{/usr/sbin/sys_check} Tuning Suggestions, | |
2777 or applying the patch in | |
2778 @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-08/msg00822.html}. | |
2779 | |
2780 In Tru64 UNIX V5.1, Compaq introduced a new assembler that does not | |
2781 currently (2001-06-13) work with @command{mips-tfile}. As a workaround, | |
2782 we need to use the old assembler, invoked via the barely documented | |
2783 @option{-oldas} option. To bootstrap GCC, you either need to use the | |
2784 Compaq C Compiler: | |
2785 | |
2786 @smallexample | |
2787 % CC=cc @var{srcdir}/configure [@var{options}] [@var{target}] | |
2788 @end smallexample | |
2789 | |
2790 or you can use a copy of GCC 2.95.3 or higher built on Tru64 UNIX V4.0: | |
2791 | |
2792 @smallexample | |
2793 % CC=gcc -Wa,-oldas @var{srcdir}/configure [@var{options}] [@var{target}] | |
2794 @end smallexample | |
2795 | |
2796 As of GNU binutils 2.11.2, neither GNU @command{as} nor GNU @command{ld} | |
2797 are supported on Tru64 UNIX, so you must not configure GCC with | |
2798 @option{--with-gnu-as} or @option{--with-gnu-ld}. | |
2799 | |
2800 GCC writes a @samp{.verstamp} directive to the assembler output file | |
2801 unless it is built as a cross-compiler. It gets the version to use from | |
2802 the system header file @file{/usr/include/stamp.h}. If you install a | |
2803 new version of DEC Unix, you should rebuild GCC to pick up the new version | |
2804 stamp. | |
2805 | |
2806 @samp{make compare} may fail on old versions of DEC Unix unless you add | |
2807 @option{-save-temps} to @code{BOOT_CFLAGS}. On these systems, the name | |
2808 of the assembler input file is stored in the object file, and that makes | |
2809 comparison fail if it differs between the @code{stage1} and | |
2810 @code{stage2} compilations. The option @option{-save-temps} forces a | |
2811 fixed name to be used for the assembler input file, instead of a | |
2812 randomly chosen name in @file{/tmp}. Do not add @option{-save-temps} | |
2813 unless the comparisons fail without that option. If you add | |
2814 @option{-save-temps}, you will have to manually delete the @samp{.i} and | |
2815 @samp{.s} files after each series of compilations. | |
2816 | |
2817 GCC now supports both the native (ECOFF) debugging format used by DBX | |
2818 and GDB and an encapsulated STABS format for use only with GDB@. See the | |
2819 discussion of the @option{--with-stabs} option of @file{configure} above | |
2820 for more information on these formats and how to select them. | |
2821 | |
2822 There is a bug in DEC's assembler that produces incorrect line numbers | |
2823 for ECOFF format when the @samp{.align} directive is used. To work | |
2824 around this problem, GCC will not emit such alignment directives | |
2825 while writing ECOFF format debugging information even if optimization is | |
2826 being performed. Unfortunately, this has the very undesirable | |
2827 side-effect that code addresses when @option{-O} is specified are | |
2828 different depending on whether or not @option{-g} is also specified. | |
2829 | |
2830 To avoid this behavior, specify @option{-gstabs+} and use GDB instead of | |
2831 DBX@. DEC is now aware of this problem with the assembler and hopes to | |
2832 provide a fix shortly. | |

2999 The version of binutils installed in @file{/usr/bin} probably works with | |
3000 this release of GCC@. However, on FreeBSD 4, bootstrapping against the | |
3001 latest FSF binutils is known to improve overall testsuite results; and, | |
3002 on FreeBSD/alpha, using binutils 2.14 or later is required to build libjava. | |
3003 | |
3004 Support for FreeBSD 1 was discontinued in GCC 3.2. | |
3005 | |
3006 Support for FreeBSD 2 will be discontinued after GCC 3.4. The | |
3007 following was true for GCC 3.1 but the current status is unknown. | |
3008 For FreeBSD 2 or any mutant a.out versions of FreeBSD 3: All | |
3009 configuration support and files as shipped with GCC 2.95 are still in | |
3010 place. FreeBSD 2.2.7 has been known to bootstrap completely; however, | |
3011 it is unknown which version of binutils was used (it is assumed that it | |
3012 was the system copy in @file{/usr/bin}) and C++ EH failures were noted. | |
3013 | |
3014 For FreeBSD using the ELF file format: DWARF 2 debugging is now the | |
3015 default for all CPU architectures. It had been the default on | |
3016 FreeBSD/alpha since its inception. You may use @option{-gstabs} instead | |
3017 of @option{-g}, if you really want the old debugging format. There are | |
3018 no known issues with mixing object files and libraries with different | |
3019 debugging formats. Otherwise, this release of GCC should now match more | |
3020 of the configuration used in the stock FreeBSD configuration of GCC@. In | |
3021 particular, @option{--enable-threads} is now configured by default. | |
3022 However, as a general user, do not attempt to replace the system | |
3023 compiler with this release. Known to bootstrap and check with good | |
3024 results on FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE and 5-CURRENT@. In the past, known to | |
3025 bootstrap and check with good results on FreeBSD 3.0, 3.4, 4.0, 4.2, | |
3026 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.8-STABLE@. | |
3027 | |
3028 In principle, @option{--enable-threads} is now compatible with | |
3029 @option{--enable-libgcj} on FreeBSD@. However, it has only been built | |
3030 and tested on @samp{i386-*-freebsd[45]} and @samp{alpha-*-freebsd[45]}. | |
3031 The static | |
3032 library may be incorrectly built (symbols are missing at link time). | |
3033 There is a rare timing-based startup hang (probably involves an | |
3034 assumption about the thread library). Multi-threaded boehm-gc (required for | |
3035 libjava) exposes severe threaded signal-handling bugs on FreeBSD before | |
3036 4.5-RELEASE@. Other CPU architectures | |
3037 supported by FreeBSD will require additional configuration tuning in, at | |
3038 the very least, both boehm-gc and libffi. | |
3039 | |
3040 Shared @file{libgcc_s.so} is now built and installed by default. | |

3072 Specifically, @option{-g} does not work (HP-UX uses a peculiar debugging | |
3073 format which GCC does not know about). It also inserts timestamps | |
3074 into each object file it creates, causing the 3-stage comparison test to | |
3075 fail during a bootstrap. You should be able to continue by saying | |
3076 @samp{make all-host all-target} after getting the failure from @samp{make}. | |
3077 | |
3078 Various GCC features are not supported. For example, it does not support weak | |
3079 symbols or alias definitions. As a result, explicit template instantiations | |
3080 are required when using C++. This makes it difficult if not impossible to | |
3081 build many C++ applications. | |
3082 | |
3083 There are two default scheduling models for instructions. These are | |
3084 PROCESSOR_7100LC and PROCESSOR_8000. They are selected from the pa-risc | |
3085 architecture specified for the target machine when configuring. | |
3086 PROCESSOR_8000 is the default. PROCESSOR_7100LC is selected when | |
3087 the target is a @samp{hppa1*} machine. | |
3088 | |
3089 The PROCESSOR_8000 model is not well suited to older processors. Thus, | |
3090 it is important to completely specify the machine architecture when | |
3091 configuring if you want a model other than PROCESSOR_8000. The macro | |
3092 TARGET_SCHED_DEFAULT can be defined in BOOT_CFLAGS if a different | |
3093 default scheduling model is desired. | |
3094 | |
3095 As of GCC 4.0, GCC uses the UNIX 95 namespace for HP-UX 10.10 | |
3096 through 11.00, and the UNIX 98 namespace for HP-UX 11.11 and later. | |
3097 This namespace change might cause problems when bootstrapping with | |
3098 an earlier version of GCC or the HP compiler as essentially the same | |
3099 namespace is required for an entire build. This problem can be avoided | |
3100 in a number of ways. With HP cc, @env{UNIX_STD} can be set to @samp{95} | |
3101 or @samp{98}. Another way is to add an appropriate set of predefines | |
3102 to @env{CC}. The description for the @option{munix=} option contains | |
3103 a list of the predefines used with each standard. | |

3130 The C++ ABI has changed incompatibly in GCC 4.0. COMDAT subspaces are | |
3131 used for one-only code and data. This resolves many of the previous | |
3132 problems in using C++ on this target. However, the ABI is not compatible | |
3133 with the one implemented under HP-UX 11 using secondary definitions. | |

3140 GCC 3.0 and up support HP-UX 11. GCC 2.95.x is not supported and cannot | |
3141 be used to compile GCC 3.0 and up. | |
3142 | |
3143 The libffi and libjava libraries haven't been ported to 64-bit HP-UX@ | |
3144 and don't build. | |
3145 | |
3146 Refer to @uref{binaries.html,,binaries} for information about obtaining | |
3147 precompiled GCC binaries for HP-UX@. Precompiled binaries must be obtained | |
3148 to build the Ada language as it can't be bootstrapped using C@. Ada is | |
3149 only available for the 32-bit PA-RISC runtime. | |
3150 | |
3151 Starting with GCC 3.4 an ISO C compiler is required to bootstrap. The | |
3152 bundled compiler supports only traditional C; you will need either HP's | |
3153 unbundled compiler, or a binary distribution of GCC@. | |
3154 | |
3155 It is possible to build GCC 3.3 starting with the bundled HP compiler, | |
3156 but the process requires several steps. GCC 3.3 can then be used to | |
3157 build later versions. The fastjar program contains ISO C code and | |
3158 can't be built with the HP bundled compiler. This problem can be | |
3159 avoided by not building the Java language. For example, use the | |
3160 @option{--enable-languages="c,c++,f77,objc"} option in your configure | |
3161 command. | |
3162 | |
3163 There are several possible approaches to building the distribution. | |
3164 Binutils can be built first using the HP tools. Then, the GCC | |
3165 distribution can be built. The second approach is to build GCC | |
3166 first using the HP tools, then build binutils, then rebuild GCC@. | |
3167 There have been problems with various binary distributions, so it | |
3168 is best not to start from a binary distribution. | |
3169 | |
3170 On 64-bit capable systems, there are two distinct targets. Different | |
3171 installation prefixes must be used if both are to be installed on | |
3172 the same system. The @samp{hppa[1-2]*-hp-hpux11*} target generates code | |
3173 for the 32-bit PA-RISC runtime architecture and uses the HP linker. | |
3174 The @samp{hppa64-hp-hpux11*} target generates 64-bit code for the | |
3175 PA-RISC 2.0 architecture. | |
3176 | |
3177 The script config.guess now selects the target type based on the compiler | |
3178 detected during configuration. You must define @env{PATH} or @env{CC} so | |
3179 that configure finds an appropriate compiler for the initial bootstrap. | |
3180 When @env{CC} is used, the definition should contain the options that are | |
3181 needed whenever @env{CC} is used. | |
3182 | |
3183 Specifically, options that determine the runtime architecture must be | |
3184 in @env{CC} to correctly select the target for the build. It is also | |
3185 convenient to place many other compiler options in @env{CC}. For example, | |
3186 @env{CC="cc -Ac +DA2.0W -Wp,-H16376 -D_CLASSIC_TYPES -D_HPUX_SOURCE"} | |
3187 can be used to bootstrap the GCC 3.3 branch with the HP compiler in | |
3188 64-bit K&R/bundled mode. The @option{+DA2.0W} option will result in | |
3189 the automatic selection of the @samp{hppa64-hp-hpux11*} target. The | |
3190 macro definition table of cpp needs to be increased for a successful | |
3191 build with the HP compiler. _CLASSIC_TYPES and _HPUX_SOURCE need to | |
3192 be defined when building with the bundled compiler, or when using the | |
3193 @option{-Ac} option. These defines aren't necessary with @option{-Ae}. | |
3194 | |
3195 It is best to explicitly configure the @samp{hppa64-hp-hpux11*} target | |
3196 with the @option{--with-ld=@dots{}} option. This overrides the standard | |
3197 search for ld. The two linkers supported on this target require different | |
3198 commands. The default linker is determined during configuration. As a | |
3199 result, it's not possible to switch linkers in the middle of a GCC build. | |
3200 This has been reported to sometimes occur in unified builds of binutils | |
3201 and GCC@. | |
3202 | |
3203 A recent linker patch must be installed for the correct operation of | |
3204 GCC 3.3 and later. @code{PHSS_26559} and @code{PHSS_24304} are the | |
3205 oldest linker patches that are known to work. They are for HP-UX | |
3206 11.00 and 11.11, respectively. @code{PHSS_24303}, the companion to | |
3207 @code{PHSS_24304}, might be usable but it hasn't been tested. These | |
3208 patches have been superseded. Consult the HP patch database to obtain | |
3209 the currently recommended linker patch for your system. | |
3210 | |
3211 The patches are necessary for the support of weak symbols on the | |
3212 32-bit port, and for the running of initializers and finalizers. Weak | |
3213 symbols are implemented using SOM secondary definition symbols. Prior | |
3214 to HP-UX 11, there are bugs in the linker support for secondary symbols. | |
3215 The patches correct a problem of linker core dumps creating shared | |
3216 libraries containing secondary symbols, as well as various other | |
3217 linking issues involving secondary symbols. | |
3218 | |
3219 GCC 3.3 uses the ELF DT_INIT_ARRAY and DT_FINI_ARRAY capabilities to | |
3220 run initializers and finalizers on the 64-bit port. The 32-bit port | |
3221 uses the linker @option{+init} and @option{+fini} options for the same | |
3222 purpose. The patches correct various problems with the +init/+fini | |
3223 options, including program core dumps. Binutils 2.14 corrects a | |
3224 problem on the 64-bit port resulting from HP's non-standard use of | |
3225 the .init and .fini sections for array initializers and finalizers. | |
3226 | |
3227 Although the HP and GNU linkers are both supported for the | |
3228 @samp{hppa64-hp-hpux11*} target, it is strongly recommended that the | |
3229 HP linker be used for link editing on this target. | |
3230 | |
3231 At this time, the GNU linker does not support the creation of long | |
3232 branch stubs. As a result, it can't successfully link binaries | |
3233 containing branch offsets larger than 8 megabytes. In addition, | |
3234 there are problems linking shared libraries, linking executables | |
3235 with @option{-static}, and with dwarf2 unwind and exception support. | |
3236 It also doesn't provide stubs for internal calls to global functions | |
3237 in shared libraries, so these calls can't be overloaded. | |
3238 | |
3239 The HP dynamic loader does not support GNU symbol versioning, so symbol | |
3240 versioning is not supported. It may be necessary to disable symbol | |
3241 versioning with @option{--disable-symvers} when using GNU ld. | |
3242 | |
3243 POSIX threads are the default. The optional DCE thread library is not | |
3244 supported, so @option{--enable-threads=dce} does not work. | |

3318 Support for AIX version 3 and older was discontinued in GCC 3.4. | |

3320 ``out of memory'' bootstrap failures may indicate a problem with | |
3321 process resource limits (ulimit). Hard limits are configured in the | |
3322 @file{/etc/security/limits} system configuration file. | |
3323 | |
3324 To speed up the configuration phases of bootstrapping and installing GCC, | |
3325 one may use GNU Bash instead of AIX @command{/bin/sh}, e.g., | |
3326 | |
3327 @smallexample | |
3328 % CONFIG_SHELL=/opt/freeware/bin/bash | |
3329 % export CONFIG_SHELL | |
3330 @end smallexample | |
3331 | |
3332 and then proceed as described in @uref{build.html,,the build | |
3333 instructions}, where we strongly recommend specifying an absolute path | |
3334 to invoke @var{srcdir}/configure. | |
3335 | |
3336 Because GCC on AIX is built as a 32-bit executable by default, | |
3337 (although it can generate 64-bit programs) the GMP and MPFR libraries | |
3338 required by gfortran must be 32-bit libraries. Building GMP and MPFR | |
3339 as static archive libraries works better than shared libraries. | |
3340 | |
3341 Errors involving @code{alloca} when building GCC generally are due | |
3342 to an incorrect definition of @code{CC} in the Makefile or mixing files | |
3343 compiled with the native C compiler and GCC@. During the stage1 phase of | |
3344 the build, the native AIX compiler @strong{must} be invoked as @command{cc} | |
3345 (not @command{xlc}). Once @command{configure} has been informed of | |
3346 @command{xlc}, one needs to use @samp{make distclean} to remove the | |
3347 configure cache files and ensure that @env{CC} environment variable | |
3348 does not provide a definition that will confuse @command{configure}. | |
3349 If this error occurs during stage2 or later, then the problem most likely | |
3350 is the version of Make (see above). | |
3351 | |
3352 The native @command{as} and @command{ld} are recommended for bootstrapping | |
3353 on AIX 4 and required for bootstrapping on AIX 5L@. The GNU Assembler | |
3354 reports that it supports WEAK symbols on AIX 4, which causes GCC to try to | |
3355 utilize weak symbol functionality although it is not supported. The GNU | |
3356 Assembler and Linker do not support AIX 5L sufficiently to bootstrap GCC@. | |
3357 The native AIX tools do interoperate with GCC@. | |
3358 | |
3359 Building @file{libstdc++.a} requires a fix for an AIX Assembler bug | |
3360 APAR IY26685 (AIX 4.3) or APAR IY25528 (AIX 5.1). It also requires a | |
3361 fix for another AIX Assembler bug and a co-dependent AIX Archiver fix | |
3362 referenced as APAR IY53606 (AIX 5.2) or a APAR IY54774 (AIX 5.1) | |
3363 | |
3364 @samp{libstdc++} in GCC 3.4 increments the major version number of the | |
3365 shared object and GCC installation places the @file{libstdc++.a} | |
3366 shared library in a common location which will overwrite the and GCC | |
3367 3.3 version of the shared library. Applications either need to be | |
3368 re-linked against the new shared library or the GCC 3.1 and GCC 3.3 | |
3369 versions of the @samp{libstdc++} shared object needs to be available | |
3370 to the AIX runtime loader. The GCC 3.1 @samp{libstdc++.so.4}, if | |
3371 present, and GCC 3.3 @samp{libstdc++.so.5} shared objects can be | |
3372 installed for runtime dynamic loading using the following steps to set | |
3373 the @samp{F_LOADONLY} flag in the shared object for @emph{each} | |
3374 multilib @file{libstdc++.a} installed: | |
3375 | |
3376 Extract the shared objects from the currently installed | |
3377 @file{libstdc++.a} archive: | |
3378 @smallexample | |
3379 % ar -x libstdc++.a libstdc++.so.4 libstdc++.so.5 | |
3380 @end smallexample | |
3381 | |
3382 Enable the @samp{F_LOADONLY} flag so that the shared object will be | |
3383 available for runtime dynamic loading, but not linking: | |
3384 @smallexample | |
3385 % strip -e libstdc++.so.4 libstdc++.so.5 | |
3386 @end smallexample | |
3387 | |
3388 Archive the runtime-only shared object in the GCC 3.4 | |
3389 @file{libstdc++.a} archive: | |
3390 @smallexample | |
3391 % ar -q libstdc++.a libstdc++.so.4 libstdc++.so.5 | |
3392 @end smallexample | |
3393 | |
3394 Linking executables and shared libraries may produce warnings of | |
3395 duplicate symbols. The assembly files generated by GCC for AIX always | |
3396 have included multiple symbol definitions for certain global variable | |
3397 and function declarations in the original program. The warnings should | |
3398 not prevent the linker from producing a correct library or runnable | |
3399 executable. | |
3400 | |
3401 AIX 4.3 utilizes a ``large format'' archive to support both 32-bit and | |
3402 64-bit object modules. The routines provided in AIX 4.3.0 and AIX 4.3.1 | |
3403 to parse archive libraries did not handle the new format correctly. | |
3404 These routines are used by GCC and result in error messages during | |
3405 linking such as ``not a COFF file''. The version of the routines shipped | |
3406 with AIX 4.3.1 should work for a 32-bit environment. The @option{-g} | |
3407 option of the archive command may be used to create archives of 32-bit | |
3408 objects using the original ``small format''. A correct version of the | |
3409 routines is shipped with AIX 4.3.2 and above. | |
3410 | |
3411 Some versions of the AIX binder (linker) can fail with a relocation | |
3412 overflow severe error when the @option{-bbigtoc} option is used to link | |
3413 GCC-produced object files into an executable that overflows the TOC@. A fix | |
3414 for APAR IX75823 (OVERFLOW DURING LINK WHEN USING GCC AND -BBIGTOC) is | |

3420 with a segmentation fault when invoked by any version of GCC@. A fix for | |
3421 APAR IX87327 is available from IBM Customer Support and from its | |

3424 | |
3425 The initial assembler shipped with AIX 4.3.0 generates incorrect object | |
3426 files. A fix for APAR IX74254 (64BIT DISASSEMBLED OUTPUT FROM COMPILER FAILS | |

3430 | |
3431 AIX provides National Language Support (NLS)@. Compilers and assemblers | |
3432 use NLS to support locale-specific representations of various data | |
3433 formats including floating-point numbers (e.g., @samp{.} vs @samp{,} for | |
3434 separating decimal fractions). There have been problems reported where | |
3435 GCC does not produce the same floating-point formats that the assembler | |
3436 expects. If one encounters this problem, set the @env{LANG} | |
3437 environment variable to @samp{C} or @samp{En_US}. | |
3438 | |
3439 By default, GCC for AIX 4.1 and above produces code that can be used on | |
3440 both Power or PowerPC processors. | |
3441 | |
3442 A default can be specified with the @option{-mcpu=@var{cpu_type}} | |
3443 switch and using the configure option @option{--with-cpu-@var{cpu_type}}. | |

3487 build libraries for both M680x0 and ColdFire processors. If you only | |
3488 need the M680x0 libraries, you can omit the ColdFire ones by passing | |
3489 @option{--with-arch=m68k} to @command{configure}. Alternatively, you | |
3490 can omit the M680x0 libraries by passing @option{--with-arch=cf} to | |

3512 It also added improved support for C++ and flat shared libraries, | |
3513 both of which were ABI changes. However, you can still use the | |
3514 original ABI by configuring for @samp{m68k-uclinuxoldabi} or | |
3515 @samp{m68k-@var{vendor}-uclinuxoldabi}. | |

3521 If on a MIPS system you get an error message saying ``does not have gp | |
3522 sections for all it's [sic] sectons [sic]'', don't worry about it. This | |
3523 happens whenever you use GAS with the MIPS linker, but there is not | |
3524 really anything wrong, and it is okay to use the output file. You can | |
3525 stop such warnings by installing the GNU linker. | |
3526 | |
3527 It would be nice to extend GAS to produce the gp tables, but they are | |
3528 optional, and there should not be a warning about their absence. | |
3529 | |
3530 The libstdc++ atomic locking routines for MIPS targets requires MIPS II | |
3531 and later. A patch went in just after the GCC 3.3 release to | |
3532 make @samp{mips*-*-*} use the generic implementation instead. You can also | |
3533 configure for @samp{mipsel-elf} as a workaround. The | |
3534 @samp{mips*-*-linux*} target continues to use the MIPS II routines. More | |
3535 work on this is expected in future releases. | |
3536 | |
3537 @c If you make --with-llsc the default for another target, please also | |
3538 @c update the description of the --with-llsc option. | |
3539 | |
3540 The built-in @code{__sync_*} functions are available on MIPS II and | |
3541 later systems and others that support the @samp{ll}, @samp{sc} and | |
3542 @samp{sync} instructions. This can be overridden by passing | |
3543 @option{--with-llsc} or @option{--without-llsc} when configuring GCC. | |
3544 Since the Linux kernel emulates these instructions if they are | |
3545 missing, the default for @samp{mips*-*-linux*} targets is | |
3546 @option{--with-llsc}. The @option{--with-llsc} and | |
3547 @option{--without-llsc} configure options may be overridden at compile | |
3548 time by passing the @option{-mllsc} or @option{-mno-llsc} options to | |
3549 the compiler. | |
3550 | |
3551 MIPS systems check for division by zero (unless | |
3552 @option{-mno-check-zero-division} is passed to the compiler) by | |
3553 generating either a conditional trap or a break instruction. Using | |
3554 trap results in smaller code, but is only supported on MIPS II and | |
3555 later. Also, some versions of the Linux kernel have a bug that | |
3556 prevents trap from generating the proper signal (@code{SIGFPE}). To enable | |
3557 the use of break, use the @option{--with-divide=breaks} | |
3558 @command{configure} option when configuring GCC@. The default is to | |
3559 use traps on systems that support them. | |
3560 | |
3561 Cross-compilers for the MIPS as target using the MIPS assembler | |
3562 currently do not work, because the auxiliary programs | |
3563 @file{mips-tdump.c} and @file{mips-tfile.c} can't be compiled on | |
3564 anything but a MIPS@. It does work to cross compile for a MIPS | |
3565 if you use the GNU assembler and linker. | |
3566 | |
3567 The assembler from GNU binutils 2.17 and earlier has a bug in the way | |
3568 it sorts relocations for REL targets (o32, o64, EABI). This can cause | |
3569 bad code to be generated for simple C++ programs. Also the linker | |
3570 from GNU binutils versions prior to 2.17 has a bug which causes the | |
3571 runtime linker stubs in very large programs, like @file{libgcj.so}, to | |
3572 be incorrectly generated. GNU Binutils 2.18 and later (and snapshots | |
3573 made after Nov. 9, 2006) should be free from both of these problems. | |

3580 In order to compile GCC on an SGI running IRIX 5, the @samp{compiler_dev.hdr} | |
3581 subsystem must be installed from the IDO CD-ROM supplied by SGI@. | |
3582 It is also available for download from | |
3583 @uref{ftp://ftp.sgi.com/sgi/IRIX5.3/iris-development-option-5.3.tardist}. | |
3584 | |
3585 If you use the MIPS C compiler to bootstrap, it may be necessary | |
3586 to increase its table size for switch statements with the | |
3587 @option{-Wf,-XNg1500} option. If you use the @option{-O2} | |
3588 optimization option, you also need to use @option{-Olimit 3000}. | |
3589 | |
3590 To enable debugging under IRIX 5, you must use GNU binutils 2.15 or | |
3591 later, and use the @option{--with-gnu-ld} @command{configure} option | |
3592 when configuring GCC@. You need to use GNU @command{ar} and @command{nm}, | |
3593 also distributed with GNU binutils. | |
3594 | |
3595 Some users have reported that @command{/bin/sh} will hang during bootstrap. | |
3596 This problem can be avoided by running the commands: | |
3597 | |
3598 @smallexample | |
3599 % CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh | |
3600 % export CONFIG_SHELL | |
3601 @end smallexample | |
3602 | |
3603 before starting the build. | |

3609 | |
3610 If you are using SGI's MIPSpro @command{cc} as your bootstrap compiler, you must | |
3611 ensure that the N32 ABI is in use. To test this, compile a simple C | |
3612 file with @command{cc} and then run @command{file} on the | |
3613 resulting object file. The output should look like: | |
3614 | |
3615 @smallexample | |
3616 test.o: ELF N32 MSB @dots{} | |
3617 @end smallexample | |
3618 | |
3619 If you see: | |
3620 | |
3621 @smallexample | |
3622 test.o: ELF 32-bit MSB @dots{} | |
3623 @end smallexample | |
3624 | |
3625 or | |
3626 | |
3627 @smallexample | |
3628 test.o: ELF 64-bit MSB @dots{} | |
3629 @end smallexample | |
3630 | |
3631 then your version of @command{cc} uses the O32 or N64 ABI by default. You | |
3632 should set the environment variable @env{CC} to @samp{cc -n32} | |
3633 before configuring GCC@. | |
3634 | |
3635 If you want the resulting @command{gcc} to run on old 32-bit systems | |
3636 with the MIPS R4400 CPU, you need to ensure that only code for the @samp{mips3} | |
3637 instruction set architecture (ISA) is generated. While GCC 3.x does | |
3638 this correctly, both GCC 2.95 and SGI's MIPSpro @command{cc} may change | |
3639 the ISA depending on the machine where GCC is built. Using one of them | |
3640 as the bootstrap compiler may result in @samp{mips4} code, which won't run at | |
3641 all on @samp{mips3}-only systems. For the test program above, you should see: | |
3642 | |
3643 @smallexample | |
3644 test.o: ELF N32 MSB mips-3 @dots{} | |
3645 @end smallexample | |
3646 | |
3647 If you get: | |
3648 | |
3649 @smallexample | |
3650 test.o: ELF N32 MSB mips-4 @dots{} | |
3651 @end smallexample | |
3652 | |
3653 instead, you should set the environment variable @env{CC} to @samp{cc | |
3654 -n32 -mips3} or @samp{gcc -mips3} respectively before configuring GCC@. | |
3655 | |
3656 MIPSpro C 7.4 may cause bootstrap failures, due to a bug when inlining | |
3657 @code{memcmp}. Either add @code{-U__INLINE_INTRINSICS} to the @env{CC} | |
3658 environment variable as a workaround or upgrade to MIPSpro C 7.4.1m. | |
3659 | |
3660 GCC on IRIX 6 is usually built to support the N32, O32 and N64 ABIs. If | |
3661 you build GCC on a system that doesn't have the N64 libraries installed | |
3662 or cannot run 64-bit binaries, | |
3663 you need to configure with @option{--disable-multilib} so GCC doesn't | |
3664 try to use them. This will disable building the O32 libraries, too. | |
3665 Look for @file{/usr/lib64/libc.so.1} to see if you | |
3666 have the 64-bit libraries installed. | |
3667 | |
3668 To enable debugging for the O32 ABI, you must use GNU @command{as} from | |
3669 GNU binutils 2.15 or later. You may also use GNU @command{ld}, but | |
3670 this is not required and currently causes some problems with Ada. | |
3671 | |
3672 The @option{--enable-libgcj} | |
3673 option is disabled by default: IRIX 6 uses a very low default limit | |
3674 (20480) for the command line length. Although @command{libtool} contains a | |
3675 workaround for this problem, at least the N64 @samp{libgcj} is known not | |
3676 to build despite this, running into an internal error of the native | |
3677 @command{ld}. A sure fix is to increase this limit (@samp{ncargs}) to | |
3678 its maximum of 262144 bytes. If you have root access, you can use the | |
3679 @command{systune} command to do this. | |
3680 | |
3681 @code{wchar_t} support in @samp{libstdc++} is not available for old | |
3682 IRIX 6.5.x releases, @math{x < 19}. The problem cannot be autodetected | |
3683 and in order to build GCC for such targets you need to configure with | |
3684 @option{--disable-wchar_t}. | |
3685 | |

3793 @c SunOS 4 releases which we don't use to avoid confusion. Solaris | |
3794 @c alone is too unspecific and must be avoided. | |
3795 @heading @anchor{x-x-solaris2}*-*-solaris2* | |
3796 | |
3797 Sun does not ship a C compiler with Solaris 2. To bootstrap and install | |
3798 GCC you first have to install a pre-built compiler, see the | |
3799 @uref{binaries.html,,binaries page} for details. | |
3800 | |
3801 The Solaris 2 @command{/bin/sh} will often fail to configure | |
3802 @file{libstdc++-v3}, @file{boehm-gc} or @file{libjava}. We therefore | |
3803 recommend using the following initial sequence of commands | |
3804 | |
3805 @smallexample | |
3806 % CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh | |
3807 % export CONFIG_SHELL | |
3808 @end smallexample | |
3809 | |
3810 and proceed as described in @uref{configure.html,,the configure instructions}. | |
3811 In addition we strongly recommend specifying an absolute path to invoke | |
3812 @var{srcdir}/configure. | |
3813 | |
3814 Solaris 2 comes with a number of optional OS packages. Some of these | |
3815 are needed to use GCC fully, namely @code{SUNWarc}, | |
3816 @code{SUNWbtool}, @code{SUNWesu}, @code{SUNWhea}, @code{SUNWlibm}, | |
3817 @code{SUNWsprot}, and @code{SUNWtoo}. If you did not install all | |
3818 optional packages when installing Solaris 2, you will need to verify that | |
3819 the packages that GCC needs are installed. | |
3820 | |
3821 To check whether an optional package is installed, use | |
3822 the @command{pkginfo} command. To add an optional package, use the | |
3823 @command{pkgadd} command. For further details, see the Solaris 2 | |
3824 documentation. | |
3825 | |
3826 Trying to use the linker and other tools in | |
3827 @file{/usr/ucb} to install GCC has been observed to cause trouble. | |
3828 For example, the linker may hang indefinitely. The fix is to remove | |
3829 @file{/usr/ucb} from your @env{PATH}. | |
3830 | |
3831 The build process works more smoothly with the legacy Sun tools so, if you | |
3832 have @file{/usr/xpg4/bin} in your @env{PATH}, we recommend that you place | |
3833 @file{/usr/bin} before @file{/usr/xpg4/bin} for the duration of the build. | |
3834 | |
3835 We recommend the use of GNU binutils 2.14 or later, or the vendor tools | |
3836 (Sun @command{as}, Sun @command{ld}). Note that your mileage may vary | |
3837 if you use a combination of the GNU tools and the Sun tools: while the | |
3838 combination GNU @command{as} + Sun @command{ld} should reasonably work, | |
3839 the reverse combination Sun @command{as} + GNU @command{ld} is known to | |
3840 cause memory corruption at runtime in some cases for C++ programs. | |
3841 | |
3842 The stock GNU binutils 2.15 release is broken on this platform because of a | |
3843 single bug. It has been fixed on the 2.15 branch in the CVS repository. | |
3844 You can obtain a working version by checking out the binutils-2_15-branch | |
3845 from the CVS repository or applying the patch | |
3846 @uref{http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2004-09/msg00036.html} to the | |
3847 release. | |
3848 | |
3849 We recommend the use of GNU binutils 2.16 or later in conjunction with GCC | |
3850 4.x, or the vendor tools (Sun @command{as}, Sun @command{ld}). However, | |
3851 for Solaris 10 and above, an additional patch is required in order for the | |
3852 GNU linker to be able to cope with a new flavor of shared libraries. You | |
3853 can obtain a working version by checking out the binutils-2_16-branch from | |
3854 the CVS repository or applying the patch | |
3855 @uref{http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2005-07/msg00122.html} to the | |
3856 release. | |
3857 | |
3858 Sun bug 4296832 turns up when compiling X11 headers with GCC 2.95 or | |
3859 newer: @command{g++} will complain that types are missing. These headers | |
3860 assume that omitting the type means @code{int}; this assumption worked for | |

3887 When GCC is configured to use binutils 2.14 or later the binaries | |
3888 produced are smaller than the ones produced using Sun's native tools; | |
3889 this difference is quite significant for binaries containing debugging | |
3890 information. | |
3891 | |
3892 Starting with Solaris 7, the operating system is capable of executing | |
3893 64-bit SPARC V9 binaries. GCC 3.1 and later properly supports | |
3894 this; the @option{-m64} option enables 64-bit code generation. | |
3895 However, if all you want is code tuned for the UltraSPARC CPU, you | |
3896 should try the @option{-mtune=ultrasparc} option instead, which produces | |
3897 code that, unlike full 64-bit code, can still run on non-UltraSPARC | |
3898 machines. | |
3899 | |
3900 When configuring on a Solaris 7 or later system that is running a kernel | |
3901 that supports only 32-bit binaries, one must configure with | |
3902 @option{--disable-multilib}, since we will not be able to build the | |
3903 64-bit target libraries. | |
3904 | |
3905 GCC 3.3 and GCC 3.4 trigger code generation bugs in earlier versions of | |
3906 the GNU compiler (especially GCC 3.0.x versions), which lead to the | |
3907 miscompilation of the stage1 compiler and the subsequent failure of the | |
3908 bootstrap process. A workaround is to use GCC 3.2.3 as an intermediary | |
3909 stage, i.e.@: to bootstrap that compiler with the base compiler and then | |
3910 use it to bootstrap the final compiler. | |
3911 | |
3912 GCC 3.4 triggers a code generation bug in versions 5.4 (Sun ONE Studio 7) | |
3913 and 5.5 (Sun ONE Studio 8) of the Sun compiler, which causes a bootstrap | |
3914 failure in form of a miscompilation of the stage1 compiler by the Sun | |
3915 compiler. This is Sun bug 4974440. This is fixed with patch 112760-07. | |
3916 | |
3917 GCC 3.4 changed the default debugging format from STABS to DWARF-2 for | |
3918 32-bit code on Solaris 7 and later. If you use the Sun assembler, this | |
3919 change apparently runs afoul of Sun bug 4910101 (which is referenced as | |
3920 a x86-only problem by Sun, probably because they do not use DWARF-2). | |
3921 A symptom of the problem is that you cannot compile C++ programs like | |
3922 @command{groff} 1.19.1 without getting messages similar to the following: | |
3923 | |
3924 @smallexample | |
3925 ld: warning: relocation error: R_SPARC_UA32: @dots{} | |
3926 external symbolic relocation against non-allocatable section | |
3927 .debug_info cannot be processed at runtime: relocation ignored. | |
3928 @end smallexample | |
3929 | |
3930 To work around this problem, compile with @option{-gstabs+} instead of | |
3931 plain @option{-g}. | |
3932 | |
3933 When configuring the GNU Multiple Precision Library (GMP) or the MPFR | |
3934 library on a Solaris 7 or later system, the canonical target triplet | |
3935 must be specified as the @command{build} parameter on the configure | |
3936 line. This triplet can be obtained by invoking ./config.guess in | |
3937 the toplevel source directory of GCC (and not that of GMP or MPFR). | |
3938 For example on a Solaris 7 system: | |
3939 | |
3940 @smallexample | |
3941 % ./configure --build=sparc-sun-solaris2.7 --prefix=xxx | |

3949 Sun patch 107058-01 (1999-01-13) for Solaris 7/SPARC triggers a bug in | |
3950 the dynamic linker. This problem (Sun bug 4210064) affects GCC 2.8 | |
3951 and later, including all EGCS releases. Sun formerly recommended | |
3952 107058-01 for all Solaris 7 users, but around 1999-09-01 it started to | |
3953 recommend it only for people who use Sun's compilers. | |
3954 | |
3955 Here are some workarounds to this problem: | |
3956 @itemize @bullet | |
3957 @item | |
3958 Do not install Sun patch 107058-01 until after Sun releases a | |
3959 complete patch for bug 4210064. This is the simplest course to take, | |
3960 unless you must also use Sun's C compiler. Unfortunately 107058-01 | |
3961 is preinstalled on some new Solaris 7-based hosts, so you may have to | |
3962 back it out. | |
3963 | |
3964 @item | |
3965 Copy the original, unpatched Solaris 7 | |
3966 @command{/usr/ccs/bin/as} into | |
3967 @command{/usr/local/libexec/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/3.4/as}, | |
3968 adjusting the latter name to fit your local conventions and software | |
3969 version numbers. | |
3970 | |
3971 @item | |
3972 Install Sun patch 106950-03 (1999-05-25) or later. Nobody with | |
3973 both 107058-01 and 106950-03 installed has reported the bug with GCC | |
3974 and Sun's dynamic linker. This last course of action is riskiest, | |
3975 for two reasons. First, you must install 106950 on all hosts that | |
3976 run code generated by GCC; it doesn't suffice to install it only on | |
3977 the hosts that run GCC itself. Second, Sun says that 106950-03 is | |
3978 only a partial fix for bug 4210064, but Sun doesn't know whether the | |
3979 partial fix is adequate for GCC@. Revision -08 or later should fix | |
3980 the bug. The current (as of 2004-05-23) revision is -24, and is included in | |
3981 the Solaris 7 Recommended Patch Cluster. | |

4051 Support for VxWorks is in flux. At present GCC supports @emph{only} the | |
4052 very recent VxWorks 5.5 (aka Tornado 2.2) release, and only on PowerPC@. | |
4053 We welcome patches for other architectures supported by VxWorks 5.5. | |
4054 Support for VxWorks AE would also be welcome; we believe this is merely | |
4055 a matter of writing an appropriate ``configlette'' (see below). We are | |
4056 not interested in supporting older, a.out or COFF-based, versions of | |
4057 VxWorks in GCC 3. | |
4058 | |
4059 VxWorks comes with an older version of GCC installed in | |
4060 @file{@var{$WIND_BASE}/host}; we recommend you do not overwrite it. | |
4061 Choose an installation @var{prefix} entirely outside @var{$WIND_BASE}. | |
4062 Before running @command{configure}, create the directories @file{@var{prefix}} | |
4063 and @file{@var{prefix}/bin}. Link or copy the appropriate assembler, | |
4064 linker, etc.@: into @file{@var{prefix}/bin}, and set your @var{PATH} to | |
4065 include that directory while running both @command{configure} and | |
4066 @command{make}. | |
4067 | |
4068 You must give @command{configure} the | |
4069 @option{--with-headers=@var{$WIND_BASE}/target/h} switch so that it can | |
4070 find the VxWorks system headers. Since VxWorks is a cross compilation | |
4071 target only, you must also specify @option{--target=@var{target}}. | |
4072 @command{configure} will attempt to create the directory | |
4073 @file{@var{prefix}/@var{target}/sys-include} and copy files into it; | |
4074 make sure the user running @command{configure} has sufficient privilege | |
4075 to do so. | |
4076 | |
4077 GCC's exception handling runtime requires a special ``configlette'' | |
4078 module, @file{contrib/gthr_supp_vxw_5x.c}. Follow the instructions in | |
4079 that file to add the module to your kernel build. (Future versions of | |

4226 | |
4227 GCC contains support files for many older (1980s and early | |
4228 1990s) Unix variants. For the most part, support for these systems | |
4229 has not been deliberately removed, but it has not been maintained for | |
4230 several years and may suffer from bitrot. | |
4231 | |
4232 Starting with GCC 3.1, each release has a list of ``obsoleted'' systems. | |
4233 Support for these systems is still present in that release, but | |
4234 @command{configure} will fail unless the @option{--enable-obsolete} | |
4235 option is given. Unless a maintainer steps forward, support for these | |
4236 systems will be removed from the next release of GCC@. | |
4237 | |
4238 Support for old systems as hosts for GCC can cause problems if the | |
4239 workarounds for compiler, library and operating system bugs affect the | |
4240 cleanliness or maintainability of the rest of GCC@. In some cases, to | |
4241 bring GCC up on such a system, if still possible with current GCC, may | |
4242 require first installing an old version of GCC which did work on that | |
4243 system, and using it to compile a more recent GCC, to avoid bugs in the | |
4244 vendor compiler. Old releases of GCC 1 and GCC 2 are available in the | |
4245 @file{old-releases} directory on the @uref{../mirrors.html,,GCC mirror | |
4246 sites}. Header bugs may generally be avoided using | |
4247 @command{fixincludes}, but bugs or deficiencies in libraries and the | |
4248 operating system may still cause problems. | |
4249 | |
4250 Support for older systems as targets for cross-compilation is less | |
4251 problematic than support for them as hosts for GCC; if an enthusiast | |
4252 wishes to make such a target work again (including resurrecting any of | |
4253 the targets that never worked with GCC 2, starting from the last | |
4254 version before they were removed), patches | |
4255 @uref{../contribute.html,,following the usual requirements} would be | |
4256 likely to be accepted, since they should not affect the support for more | |
4257 modern targets. | |
4258 | |
4259 For some systems, old versions of GNU binutils may also be useful, | |
4260 and are available from @file{pub/binutils/old-releases} on | |
4261 @uref{http://sourceware.org/mirrors.html,,sourceware.org mirror sites}. | |
4262 | |
4263 Some of the information on specific systems above relates to | |
4264 such older systems, but much of the information | |
4265 about GCC on such systems (which may no longer be applicable to | |
4266 current GCC) is to be found in the GCC texinfo manual. | |
