216 | GCC is distributed via @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/cvs.html,,CVS} and FTP |
217 | tarballs compressed with @command{gzip} or | |
6cfb3f16 | 218 | @command{bzip2}. It is possible to download a full distribution or specific |
f42974dc DW |
219 | components. |
220 | ||
221 | Please refer to our @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html,,releases web page} | |
161d7b59 | 222 | for information on how to obtain GCC@. |
f42974dc DW |
223 | |
224 | The full distribution includes the C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, | |
8ecab453 GP |
225 | and Ada (in case of GCC 3.1 and later) compilers. The full distribution |
226 | also includes runtime libraries for C++, Objective-C, Fortran, and Java. | |
227 | In GCC 3.0 and later versions, GNU compiler testsuites are also included | |
228 | in the full distribution. | |
f42974dc DW |
229 | |
230 | If you choose to download specific components, you must download the core | |
eea81d3e | 231 | GCC distribution plus any language specific distributions you wish to |
6c0a4eab | 232 | use. The core distribution includes the C language front end as well as the |
767094dd | 233 | shared components. Each language has a tarball which includes the language |
6c0a4eab | 234 | front end as well as the language runtime (when appropriate). |
f42974dc DW |
235 | |
236 | Unpack the core distribution as well as any language specific | |
237 | distributions in the same directory. | |
238 | ||
239 | If you also intend to build binutils (either to upgrade an existing | |
240 | installation or for use in place of the corresponding tools of your | |
241 | OS), unpack the binutils distribution either in the same directory or | |
242 | a separate one. In the latter case, add symbolic links to any | |
243 | components of the binutils you intend to build alongside the compiler | |

266 | @cindex Installing GCC: Configuration | |
267 | ||
268 | Like most GNU software, GCC must be configured before it can be built. | |
269 | This document describes the recommended configuration procedure | |
270 | for both native and cross targets. | |
271 | ||
38209993 LG |
272 | We use @var{srcdir} to refer to the toplevel source directory for |
273 | GCC; we use @var{objdir} to refer to the toplevel build/object directory. | |
274 | ||
275 | If you obtained the sources via CVS, @var{srcdir} must refer to the top | |
276 | @file{gcc} directory, the one where the @file{MAINTAINERS} can be found, | |
277 | and not its @file{gcc} subdirectory, otherwise the build will fail. | |
f42974dc | 278 | |
b4b0fb02 RO |
279 | If either @var{srcdir} or @var{objdir} is located on an automounted NFS |
280 | file system, the shell's built-in @command{pwd} command will return | |
281 | temporary pathnames. Using these can lead to various sorts of build | |
282 | problems. To avoid this issue, set the @env{PWDCMD} environment | |
283 | variable to an automounter-aware @command{pwd} command, e.g., | |
284 | @command{pawd} or @command{amq -w}, during the configuration and build | |
285 | phases. | |
286 | ||
102b60d1 GP |
287 | First, we @strong{highly} recommend that GCC be built into a |
288 | separate directory than the sources which does @strong{not} reside | |
289 | within the source tree. This is how we generally build GCC; building | |
290 | where @var{srcdir} == @var{objdir} should still work, but doesn't | |
291 | get extensive testing; building where @var{objdir} is a subdirectory | |
292 | of @var{srcdir} is unsupported. | |
f42974dc | 293 | |
eea81d3e | 294 | If you have previously built GCC in the same directory for a |
f85b8d1a JM |
295 | different target machine, do @samp{make distclean} to delete all files |
296 | that might be invalid. One of the files this deletes is | |
297 | @file{Makefile}; if @samp{make distclean} complains that @file{Makefile} | |
298 | does not exist, it probably means that the directory is already suitably | |
299 | clean. However, with the recommended method of building in a separate | |
300 | @var{objdir}, you should simply use a different @var{objdir} for each | |
301 | target. | |
302 | ||
38209993 LG |
303 | Second, when configuring a native system, either @command{cc} or |
304 | @command{gcc} must be in your path or you must set @env{CC} in | |
df002c7d DE |
305 | your environment before running configure. Otherwise the configuration |
306 | scripts may fail. | |
f42974dc | 307 | |
eea81d3e RO |
308 | Note that the bootstrap compiler and the resulting GCC must be link |
309 | compatible, else the bootstrap will fail with linker errors about | |
310 | incompatible object file formats. Several multilibed targets are | |
e69aa433 GP |
311 | affected by this requirement, see |
312 | @ifnothtml | |
313 | @ref{Specific, host/target specific installation notes}. | |

330 | @item | |
38209993 | 331 | GCC has code to correctly determine the correct value for @var{target} |
f9047ed3 | 332 | for nearly all native systems. Therefore, we highly recommend you not |
f42974dc DW |
333 | provide a configure target when configuring a native compiler. |
334 | ||
335 | @item | |
6cfb3f16 | 336 | @var{target} must be specified as @option{--target=@var{target}} |
f9047ed3 | 337 | when configuring a cross compiler; examples of valid targets would be |
f42974dc DW |
338 | i960-rtems, m68k-coff, sh-elf, etc. |
339 | ||
340 | @item | |
6cfb3f16 | 341 | Specifying just @var{target} instead of @option{--target=@var{target}} |
38209993 | 342 | implies that the host defaults to @var{target}. |

f42974dc DW |

409 | programs to install in @var{bindir} (see above). For example, specifying | |
410 | @option{--program-prefix=foo-} would result in @samp{gcc} | |
411 | being installed as @file{/usr/local/bin/foo-gcc}. | |
412 | ||
413 | @item --program-suffix=@var{suffix} | |
414 | Appends @var{suffix} to the names of programs to install in @var{bindir} | |
415 | (see above). For example, specifying @option{--program-suffix=-3.1} | |
416 | would result in @samp{gcc} being installed as | |
417 | @file{/usr/local/bin/gcc-3.1}. | |
418 | ||
419 | @item --program-transform-name=@var{pattern} | |
420 | Applies the @samp{sed} script @var{pattern} to be applied to the names | |
421 | of programs to install in @var{bindir} (see above). @var{pattern} has to | |
422 | consist of one or more basic @samp{sed} editing commands, separated by | |
423 | semicolons. For example, if you want the @samp{gcc} program name to be | |
424 | transformed to the installed program @file{/usr/local/bin/myowngcc} and | |
425 | the @samp{g++} program name to be transformed to | |
426 | @file{/usr/local/bin/gspecial++} without changing other program names, | |
427 | you could use the pattern | |
428 | @option{--program-transform-name='s/^gcc$/myowngcc/; s/^g++$/gspecial++/'} | |
429 | to achieve this effect. | |
430 | ||
431 | All three options can be combined and used together, resulting in more | |
432 | complex conversion patterns. As a basic rule, @var{prefix} (and | |
433 | @var{suffix}) are prepended (appended) before further transformations | |
434 | can happen with a special transformation script @var{pattern}. | |
435 | ||
8c085f6f | 436 | As currently implemented, this option only takes effect for native |
b21d216c | 437 | builds; cross compiler binaries' names are not transformed even when a |
8c085f6f | 438 | transformation is explicitly asked for by one of these options. |
b21d216c AF |
439 | |
440 | For native builds, some of the installed programs are also installed | |
441 | with the target alias in front of their name, as in | |
442 | @samp{i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc}. All of the above transformations happen | |
443 | before the target alias is prepended to the name - so, specifying | |
444 | @option{--program-prefix=foo-} and @option{program-suffix=-3.1}, the | |
445 | resulting binary would be installed as | |
446 | @file{/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-foo-gcc-3.1}. | |
447 | ||
8ecab453 | 448 | As a last shortcoming, none of the installed Ada programs are |
b21d216c AF |
449 | transformed yet, which will be fixed in some time. |

451 | @item --with-local-prefix=@var{dirname} |
452 | Specify the | |
6ac48571 JM |
453 | installation directory for local include files. The default is |
454 | @file{/usr/local}. Specify this option if you want the compiler to | |
455 | search directory @file{@var{dirname}/include} for locally installed | |
456 | header files @emph{instead} of @file{/usr/local/include}. | |
457 | ||
458 | You should specify @option{--with-local-prefix} @strong{only} if your | |
459 | site has a different convention (not @file{/usr/local}) for where to put | |
460 | site-specific files. | |
461 | ||
462 | The default value for @option{--with-local-prefix} is @file{/usr/local} | |
463 | regardless of the value of @option{--prefix}. Specifying | |
464 | @option{--prefix} has no effect on which directory GCC searches for | |
465 | local header files. This may seem counterintuitive, but actually it is | |
466 | logical. | |
467 | ||
468 | The purpose of @option{--prefix} is to specify where to @emph{install | |
469 | GCC}. The local header files in @file{/usr/local/include}---if you put | |
161d7b59 | 470 | any in that directory---are not part of GCC@. They are part of other |
6ac48571 JM |
471 | programs---perhaps many others. (GCC installs its own header files in |
472 | another directory which is based on the @option{--prefix} value.) | |
473 | ||
48209ce5 JDA |
474 | Both the local-prefix include directory and the GCC-prefix include |
475 | directory are part of GCC's "system include" directories. Although these | |
476 | two directories are not fixed, they need to be searched in the proper | |
477 | order for the correct processing of the include_next directive. The | |
478 | local-prefix include directory is searched before the GCC-prefix | |
479 | include directory. Another characteristic of system include directories | |
480 | is that pedantic warnings are turned off for headers in these directories. | |
481 | ||
482 | Some autoconf macros add @option{-I @var{directory}} options to the | |
483 | compiler command line, to ensure that directories containing installed | |
484 | packages' headers are searched. When @var{directory} is one of GCC's | |
485 | system include directories, GCC will ignore the option so that system | |
486 | directories continue to be processed in the correct order. This | |
487 | may result in a search order different from what was specified but the | |
488 | directory will still be searched. | |
489 | ||
490 | GCC automatically searches for ordinary libraries using | |
491 | @env{GCC_EXEC_PREFIX}. Thus, when the same installation prefix is | |
492 | used for both GCC and packages, GCC will automatically search for | |
493 | both headers and libraries. This provides a configuration that is | |
494 | easy to use. GCC behaves in a manner similar to that when it is | |
495 | installed as a system compiler in @file{/usr}. | |
496 | ||
497 | Sites that need to install multiple versions of GCC may not want to | |
498 | use the above simple configuration. It is possible to use the | |
499 | @option{--program-prefix}, @option{--program-suffix} and | |
500 | @option{--program-transform-name} options to install multiple versions | |
501 | into a single directory, but it may be simpler to use different prefixes | |
502 | and the @option{--with-local-prefix} option to specify the location of the | |
503 | site-specific files for each version. It will then be necessary for | |
504 | users to specify explicitly the location of local site libraries | |
505 | (e.g., with @env{LIBRARY_PATH}). | |
506 | ||
507 | The same value can be used for both @option{--with-local-prefix} and | |
508 | @option{--prefix} provided it is not @file{/usr}. This can be used | |
509 | to avoid the default search of @file{/usr/local/include}. | |
510 | ||
6ac48571 JM |
511 | @strong{Do not} specify @file{/usr} as the @option{--with-local-prefix}! |
512 | The directory you use for @option{--with-local-prefix} @strong{must not} | |
513 | contain any of the system's standard header files. If it did contain | |
514 | them, certain programs would be miscompiled (including GNU Emacs, on | |
515 | certain targets), because this would override and nullify the header | |
4c64396e | 516 | file corrections made by the @command{fixincludes} script. |
6ac48571 JM |
517 | |
518 | Indications are that people who use this option use it based on mistaken | |
519 | ideas of what it is for. People use it as if it specified where to | |
161d7b59 | 520 | install part of GCC@. Perhaps they make this assumption because |
6ac48571 JM |
521 | installing GCC creates the directory. |

535 | @samp{libjava}. Note that @samp{libobjc} does not recognize itself by | |

f42974dc | 614 | |
8c26c999 JM |
615 | On MIPS based systems and on Alphas, you must specify whether you want |
616 | GCC to create the normal ECOFF debugging format, or to use BSD-style | |
617 | stabs passed through the ECOFF symbol table. The normal ECOFF debug | |
161d7b59 JM |
618 | format cannot fully handle languages other than C@. BSD stabs format can |
619 | handle other languages, but it only works with the GNU debugger GDB@. | |
8c26c999 JM |
620 | |
621 | Normally, GCC uses the ECOFF debugging format by default; if you | |
161d7b59 | 622 | prefer BSD stabs, specify @option{--with-stabs} when you configure GCC@. |
8c26c999 JM |
623 | |
624 | No matter which default you choose when you configure GCC, the user | |
625 | can use the @option{-gcoff} and @option{-gstabs+} options to specify explicitly | |
626 | the debug format for a particular compilation. | |
627 | ||
628 | @option{--with-stabs} is meaningful on the ISC system on the 386, also, if | |
629 | @option{--with-gas} is used. It selects use of stabs debugging | |
630 | information embedded in COFF output. This kind of debugging information | |
631 | supports C++ well; ordinary COFF debugging information does not. | |
632 | ||
633 | @option{--with-stabs} is also meaningful on 386 systems running SVR4. It | |
634 | selects use of stabs debugging information embedded in ELF output. The | |
635 | C++ compiler currently (2.6.0) does not support the DWARF debugging | |
636 | information normally used on 386 SVR4 platforms; stabs provide a | |
637 | workable alternative. This requires gas and gdb, as the normal SVR4 | |

38209993 | 764 | |
ef88b07d JM |
765 | @item --enable-languages=@var{lang1},@var{lang2},@dots{} |
766 | Specify that only a particular subset of compilers and | |
767094dd | 767 | their runtime libraries should be built. For a list of valid values for |
6cfb3f16 | 768 | @var{langN} you can issue the following command in the |
eea81d3e RO |
769 | @file{gcc} directory of your GCC source tree:@* |
770 | @example | |
771 | grep language= */config-lang.in | |
772 | @end example | |
773 | Currently, you can use any of the following: | |
e23381df | 774 | @code{ada}, @code{c}, @code{c++}, @code{f77}, @code{java}, @code{objc}. |
8ecab453 | 775 | Building the Ada compiler has special requirements, see below.@* |
38209993 | 776 | If you do not pass this flag, all languages available in the @file{gcc} |
6cfb3f16 | 777 | sub-tree will be configured. Re-defining @code{LANGUAGES} when calling |
ef88b07d | 778 | @samp{make bootstrap} @strong{does not} work anymore, as those |
38209993 | 779 | language sub-directories might not have been configured! |
f42974dc | 780 | |
ef88b07d JM |
781 | @item --disable-libgcj |
782 | Specify that the run-time libraries | |
f42974dc DW |
783 | used by GCJ should not be built. This is useful in case you intend |
784 | to use GCJ with some other run-time, or you're going to install it | |
785 | separately, or it just happens not to build on your particular | |
6c0a4eab | 786 | machine. In general, if the Java front end is enabled, the GCJ |
f42974dc | 787 | libraries will be enabled too, unless they're known to not work on |
eea81d3e | 788 | the target platform. If GCJ is enabled but @samp{libgcj} isn't built, you |
f42974dc | 789 | may need to port it; in this case, before modifying the top-level |
eea81d3e | 790 | @file{configure.in} so that @samp{libgcj} is enabled by default on this platform, |
f42974dc DW |
791 | you may use @option{--enable-libgcj} to override the default. |

6cfb3f16 | 800 | The @option{--enable-win32-registry} option enables Windows-hosted GCC |
f85b8d1a JM |
801 | to look up installations paths in the registry using the following key: |

f85b8d1a JM |
805 | @end smallexample |
806 | ||
eea81d3e RO |
807 | @var{key} defaults to GCC version number, and can be overridden by the |
808 | @option{--enable-win32-registry=@var{key}} option. Vendors and distributors | |
f85b8d1a JM |
809 | who use custom installers are encouraged to provide a different key, |
810 | perhaps one comprised of vendor name and GCC version number, to | |
767094dd | 811 | avoid conflict with existing installations. This feature is enabled |
6cfb3f16 | 812 | by default, and can be disabled by @option{--disable-win32-registry} |
f85b8d1a JM |
813 | option. This option has no effect on the other hosts. |
814 | ||
815 | @item --nfp | |
816 | Specify that the machine does not have a floating point unit. This | |
817 | option only applies to @samp{m68k-sun-sunos@var{n}} and | |
6cfb3f16 | 818 | @samp{m68k-isi-bsd}. On any other system, @option{--nfp} has no effect. |
f85b8d1a JM |
819 | |
820 | @item --enable-checking | |
821 | @itemx --enable-checking=@var{list} | |
822 | When you specify this option, the compiler is built to perform checking | |
823 | of tree node types when referencing fields of that node, and some other | |
824 | internal consistency checks. This does not change the generated code, | |
825 | but adds error checking within the compiler. This will slow down the | |
826 | compiler and may only work properly if you are building the compiler | |
161d7b59 | 827 | with GCC@. This is on by default when building from CVS or snapshots, |
f85b8d1a JM |
828 | but off for releases. More control over the checks may be had by |
829 | specifying @var{list}; the categories of checks available are | |
4c76f856 JJ |
830 | @samp{misc}, @samp{tree}, @samp{gc}, @samp{rtl}, @samp{rtlflag} and |
831 | @samp{gcac}. The | |
832 | default when @var{list} is not specified is @samp{misc,tree,gc,rtlflag}; the | |
f85b8d1a JM |
833 | checks @samp{rtl} and @samp{gcac} are very expensive. |
834 | ||
22aa533e NS |
835 | @item --enable-coverage |
836 | @item --enable-coverage=@var{level} | |
837 | With this option, the compiler is built to collect self coverage | |
838 | information, every time it is run. This is for internal development | |
839 | purposes, and only works when the compiler is being built with gcc. The | |
840 | @var{level} argument controls whether the compiler is built optimized or | |
841 | not, values are @samp{opt} and @samp{noopt}. For coverage analysis you | |
842 | want to disable optimization, for performance analysis you want to | |
843 | enable optimization. When coverage is enabled, the default level is | |
844 | without optimization. | |
845 | ||
f85b8d1a JM |
846 | @item --enable-nls |
847 | @itemx --disable-nls | |
6cfb3f16 | 848 | The @option{--enable-nls} option enables Native Language Support (NLS), |
f85b8d1a | 849 | which lets GCC output diagnostics in languages other than American |
767094dd | 850 | English. Native Language Support is enabled by default if not doing a |
161d7b59 | 851 | canadian cross build. The @option{--disable-nls} option disables NLS@. |
f85b8d1a JM |
852 | |
853 | @item --with-included-gettext | |
c771326b | 854 | If NLS is enabled, the @option{--with-included-gettext} option causes the build |
021c4bfd | 855 | procedure to prefer its copy of GNU @command{gettext}. |
f85b8d1a JM |
856 | |
857 | @item --with-catgets | |
858 | If NLS is enabled, and if the host lacks @code{gettext} but has the | |
859 | inferior @code{catgets} interface, the GCC build procedure normally | |
860 | ignores @code{catgets} and instead uses GCC's copy of the GNU | |
6cfb3f16 | 861 | @code{gettext} library. The @option{--with-catgets} option causes the |
f85b8d1a | 862 | build procedure to use the host's @code{catgets} in this situation. |
80f9249a | 863 | |
5304400d CR |

80f9249a JM |
868 | @item --with-system-zlib |
869 | Use installed zlib rather than that included with GCC@. This option | |
870 | only applies if the Java front end is being built. | |
9340544b ZW |
871 | |
872 | @item --enable-obsolete | |
873 | Enable configuration for an obsoleted system. If you attempt to | |
874 | configure GCC for a system (build, host, or target) which has been | |
875 | obsoleted, and you do not specify this flag, configure will halt with an | |
876 | error message. | |
877 | ||
878 | All support for systems which have been obsoleted in one release of GCC | |

ef88b07d | 901 | @item --with-newlib |
eea81d3e | 902 | Specifies that @samp{newlib} is |
38209993 | 903 | being used as the target C library. This causes @code{__eprintf} to be |

930 | @cindex Installing GCC: Building | |
931 | ||
932 | Now that GCC is configured, you are ready to build the compiler and | |
933 | runtime libraries. | |
934 | ||
58db9d1a | 935 | We @strong{highly} recommend that GCC be built using GNU make; |
f282ffb3 | 936 | other versions may work, then again they might not. |
58db9d1a AH |
937 | GNU make is required for compiling GNAT (the Ada compiler) and the Java |
938 | runtime library. | |
f42974dc DW |
939 | |
940 | (For example, many broken versions of make will fail if you use the | |
b8df899a JM |
941 | recommended setup where @var{objdir} is different from @var{srcdir}. |
942 | Other broken versions may recompile parts of the compiler when | |
943 | installing the compiler.) | |
f42974dc | 944 | |
b8df899a | 945 | Some commands executed when making the compiler may fail (return a |
df2a54e9 | 946 | nonzero status) and be ignored by @code{make}. These failures, which |
b8df899a JM |
947 | are often due to files that were not found, are expected, and can safely |
948 | be ignored. | |
949 | ||
950 | It is normal to have compiler warnings when compiling certain files. | |
951 | Unless you are a GCC developer, you can generally ignore these warnings | |
952 | unless they cause compilation to fail. | |
953 | ||
954 | On certain old systems, defining certain environment variables such as | |
6cfb3f16 | 955 | @env{CC} can interfere with the functioning of @command{make}. |
b8df899a JM |
956 | |
957 | If you encounter seemingly strange errors when trying to build the | |
958 | compiler in a directory other than the source directory, it could be | |
959 | because you have previously configured the compiler in the source | |
960 | directory. Make sure you have done all the necessary preparations. | |
961 | ||
962 | If you build GCC on a BSD system using a directory stored in an old System | |
4c64396e | 963 | V file system, problems may occur in running @command{fixincludes} if the |
b8df899a JM |
964 | System V file system doesn't support symbolic links. These problems |
965 | result in a failure to fix the declaration of @code{size_t} in | |
966 | @file{sys/types.h}. If you find that @code{size_t} is a signed type and | |
967 | that type mismatches occur, this could be the cause. | |
968 | ||
161d7b59 | 969 | The solution is not to use such a directory for building GCC@. |
f42974dc | 970 | |
f85b8d1a JM |
971 | When building from CVS or snapshots, or if you modify parser sources, |
972 | you need the Bison parser generator installed. Any version 1.25 or | |
973 | later should work; older versions may also work. If you do not modify | |
974 | parser sources, releases contain the Bison-generated files and you do | |
975 | not need Bison installed to build them. | |
976 | ||
977 | When building from CVS or snapshots, or if you modify Texinfo | |
dda78254 | 978 | documentation, you need version 4.1 or later of Texinfo installed if you |
f85b8d1a JM |
979 | want Info documentation to be regenerated. Releases contain Info |
980 | documentation pre-built for the unmodified documentation in the release. | |

f42974dc DW |
996 | or moved into the top level GCC source tree before configuring. |
997 | ||
998 | @item | |
999 | Perform a 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler. | |

1001 | @item | |
1002 | Perform a comparison test of the stage2 and stage3 compilers. | |
1003 | ||
1004 | @item | |
1005 | Build runtime libraries using the stage3 compiler from the previous step. | |
f9047ed3 | 1006 | |
f42974dc DW |
1007 | @end itemize |
1008 | ||
38209993 LG |
1009 | If you are short on disk space you might consider @samp{make |
1010 | bootstrap-lean} instead. This is identical to @samp{make | |
1011 | bootstrap} except that object files from the stage1 and | |
f42974dc DW |
1012 | stage2 of the 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler are deleted as |
1013 | soon as they are no longer needed. | |
1014 | ||
f42974dc DW |
1015 | If you want to save additional space during the bootstrap and in |
1016 | the final installation as well, you can build the compiler binaries | |
8c085f6f | 1017 | without debugging information as in the following example. This will save |
f42974dc DW |
1018 | roughly 40% of disk space both for the bootstrap and the final installation. |
1019 | (Libraries will still contain debugging information.) | |
1020 | ||
8c085f6f JJ |
1021 | @example |
1022 | make CFLAGS='-O' LIBCFLAGS='-g -O2' \ | |
1023 | LIBCXXFLAGS='-g -O2 -fno-implicit-templates' bootstrap | |
1024 | @end example | |
1025 | ||
eea81d3e RO |
1026 | If you wish to use non-default GCC flags when compiling the stage2 and |
1027 | stage3 compilers, set @code{BOOT_CFLAGS} on the command line when doing | |
f85b8d1a JM |
1028 | @samp{make bootstrap}. Non-default optimization flags are less well |
1029 | tested here than the default of @samp{-g -O2}, but should still work. | |
1030 | In a few cases, you may find that you need to specify special flags such | |
1031 | as @option{-msoft-float} here to complete the bootstrap; or, if the | |
1032 | native compiler miscompiles the stage1 compiler, you may need to work | |
1033 | around this, by choosing @code{BOOT_CFLAGS} to avoid the parts of the | |
1034 | stage1 compiler that were miscompiled, or by using @samp{make | |
1035 | bootstrap4} to increase the number of stages of bootstrap. | |
1036 | ||
6cfb3f16 | 1037 | If you used the flag @option{--enable-languages=@dots{}} to restrict |
f42974dc | 1038 | the compilers to be built, only those you've actually enabled will be |
767094dd | 1039 | built. This will of course only build those runtime libraries, for |
f42974dc | 1040 | which the particular compiler has been built. Please note, |
eea81d3e | 1041 | that re-defining @env{LANGUAGES} when calling @samp{make bootstrap} |
ef88b07d | 1042 | @strong{does not} work anymore! |
f42974dc | 1043 | |
f85b8d1a | 1044 | If the comparison of stage2 and stage3 fails, this normally indicates |
eea81d3e | 1045 | that the stage2 compiler has compiled GCC incorrectly, and is therefore |
f85b8d1a JM |
1046 | a potentially serious bug which you should investigate and report. (On |
1047 | a few systems, meaningful comparison of object files is impossible; they | |
1048 | always appear ``different''. If you encounter this problem, you will | |
1049 | need to disable comparison in the @file{Makefile}.) | |

1051 | @section Building a cross compiler | |
1052 | ||
1053 | We recommend reading the | |
1054 | @uref{http://www.objsw.com/CrossGCC/,,crossgcc FAQ} | |
1055 | for information about building cross compilers. | |
1056 | ||
1057 | When building a cross compiler, it is not generally possible to do a | |
1058 | 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler. This makes for an interesting problem | |
161d7b59 | 1059 | as parts of GCC can only be built with GCC@. |
f42974dc DW |
1060 | |
1061 | To build a cross compiler, we first recommend building and installing a | |
1062 | native compiler. You can then use the native GCC compiler to build the | |
635771af JM |
1063 | cross compiler. The installed native compiler needs to be GCC version |
1064 | 2.95 or later. | |
f42974dc DW |
1065 | |
1066 | Assuming you have already installed a native copy of GCC and configured | |
6cfb3f16 | 1067 | your cross compiler, issue the command @command{make}, which performs the |
f42974dc DW |
1068 | following steps: |
1069 | ||
1070 | @itemize @bullet | |
1071 | @item | |
1072 | Build host tools necessary to build the compiler such as texinfo, bison, | |

1079 | tree before configuring. | |

1085 | Build runtime libraries using the compiler from the previous step. | |

1089 | ||
1090 | @section Building in parallel | |
1091 | ||
38209993 LG |
1092 | If you have a multiprocessor system you can use @samp{make bootstrap |
1093 | MAKE="make -j 2" -j 2} or just @samp{make -j 2 bootstrap} | |
1094 | for GNU Make 3.79 and above instead of just @samp{make bootstrap} | |
161d7b59 | 1095 | when building GCC@. You can use a bigger number instead of two if |
f42974dc DW |
1096 | you like. In most cases, it won't help to use a number bigger than |
1097 | the number of processors in your machine. | |
1098 | ||
e23381df GB |
1099 | @section Building the Ada compiler |
1100 | ||
1101 | In order to build GNAT, the Ada compiler, you need a working GNAT | |
38e23049 JM |
1102 | compiler (GNAT version 3.13 or later, or GCC version 3.1 or later), |
1103 | since the Ada front end is written in Ada (with some | |
e23381df GB |
1104 | GNAT-specific extensions), and GNU make. |
1105 | ||
1106 | However, you do not need a full installation of GNAT, just the GNAT | |
1107 | binary @file{gnat1}, a copy of @file{gnatbind}, and a compiler driver | |
1108 | which can deal with Ada input (by invoking the @file{gnat1} binary). | |
1109 | You can specify this compiler driver by setting the @env{ADAC} | |
1110 | environment variable at the configure step. @command{configure} can | |
1111 | detect the driver automatically if it has got a common name such as | |
1112 | @command{gcc} or @command{gnatgcc}. Of course, you still need a working | |
1113 | C compiler (the compiler driver can be different or not). | |
38e23049 JM |
1114 | @command{configure} does not test whether the GNAT installation works |
1115 | and has a sufficiently recent version; if too old a GNAT version is | |
1116 | installed, the build will fail unless @option{--enable-languages} is | |
1117 | used to disable building the Ada front end. | |

1119 | Additional build tools (such as @command{gnatmake}) or a working GNAT | |
1120 | run-time library installation are usually @emph{not} required. However, | |
9026a957 | 1121 | if you want to bootstrap the compiler using a minimal version of GNAT, |
e23381df | 1122 | you have to issue the following commands before invoking @samp{make |
9026a957 | 1123 | bootstrap} (this assumes that you start with an unmodified and consistent |
e23381df GB |
1124 | source distribution): |
1125 | ||
1126 | @example | |
1127 | cd @var{srcdir}/gcc/ada | |
1128 | touch treeprs.ads [es]info.h nmake.ad[bs] | |
1129 | @end example | |
1130 | ||
1131 | At the moment, the GNAT library and several tools for GNAT are not built | |
f282ffb3 | 1132 | by @samp{make bootstrap}. You have to invoke |
e23381df GB |
1133 | @samp{make gnatlib_and_tools} in the @file{@var{objdir}/gcc} |
1134 | subdirectory before proceeding with the next steps. | |
1135 | ||
1136 | For example, you can build a native Ada compiler by issuing the | |
1137 | following commands (assuming @command{make} is GNU make): | |
1138 | ||
1139 | @example | |
1140 | cd @var{objdir} | |
f282ffb3 | 1141 | @var{srcdir}/configure --enable-languages=c,ada |
e23381df GB |
1142 | cd @var{srcdir}/gcc/ada |
1143 | touch treeprs.ads [es]info.h nmake.ad[bs] | |
f282ffb3 | 1144 | cd @var{objdir} |
e23381df GB |
1145 | make bootstrap |
1146 | cd gcc | |
1147 | make gnatlib_and_tools | |
1148 | cd .. | |
1149 | @end example | |
1150 | ||
1151 | Currently, when compiling the Ada front end, you cannot use the parallel | |
1152 | build feature described in the previous section. | |

f97903cc JJ |
1176 | Before you install GCC, we encourage you to run the testsuites and to |
1177 | compare your results with results from a similar configuration that have | |
1178 | been submitted to the | |
1179 | @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/,,gcc-testresults mailing list}. | |
1180 | This step is optional and may require you to download additional software, | |
1181 | but it can give you confidence in your new GCC installation or point out | |
1182 | problems before you install and start using your new GCC. | |
f42974dc | 1183 | |
f9047ed3 | 1184 | First, you must have @uref{download.html,,downloaded the testsuites}. |
f97903cc JJ |
1185 | These are part of the full distribution, but if you downloaded the |
1186 | ``core'' compiler plus any front ends, you must download the testsuites | |
1187 | separately. | |
f42974dc | 1188 | |
f97903cc JJ |
1189 | Second, you must have the testing tools installed. This includes |
1190 | a @uref{http://www.gnu.org/software/dejagnu/,,current version of DejaGnu}; | |
f42974dc | 1191 | dejagnu 1.3 is not sufficient. |
f97903cc | 1192 | It also includes Tcl and Expect; the DejaGnu site has links to these. |
f42974dc DW |
1193 | |
1194 | Now you may need specific preparations: | |
1195 | ||
1196 | @itemize @bullet | |
f42974dc DW |
1197 | |
1198 | @item | |
ecb7d6b3 | 1199 | The following environment variables may need to be set appropriately, as in |
f42974dc | 1200 | the following example (which assumes that DejaGnu has been installed |
6cfb3f16 | 1201 | under @file{/usr/local}): |
f42974dc DW |
1202 | |
1203 | @example | |
1204 | TCL_LIBRARY = /usr/local/share/tcl8.0 | |
1205 | DEJAGNULIBS = /usr/local/share/dejagnu | |
1206 | @end example | |
1207 | ||
1208 | On systems such as Cygwin, these paths are required to be actual | |
1209 | paths, not mounts or links; presumably this is due to some lack of | |
1210 | portability in the DejaGnu code. | |
1211 | ||
ecb7d6b3 JM |
1212 | If the directories where @command{runtest} and @command{expect} were |
1213 | installed are in the @env{PATH}, it should not be necessary to set these | |
1214 | environment variables. | |
1215 | ||
f42974dc DW |
1216 | @end itemize |
1217 | ||
1218 | Finally, you can run the testsuite (which may take a long time): | |
1219 | @example | |
ef88b07d | 1220 | cd @var{objdir}; make -k check |
f42974dc DW |
1221 | @end example |
1222 | ||
1223 | The testing process will try to test as many components in the GCC | |
2147b154 | 1224 | distribution as possible, including the C, C++, Objective-C and Fortran |
ecb7d6b3 | 1225 | compilers as well as the C++ and Java runtime libraries. |
f42974dc | 1226 | |
06809951 GP |
1227 | While running the testsuite, DejaGnu might emit messages resembling |
1228 | @samp{WARNING: Couldn't find the global config file.} or | |
1229 | @samp{WARNING: Couldn't find tool init file}. | |
1230 | These messages are harmless and do not affect the validity of the tests. | |
1231 | ||
f42974dc DW |
1232 | @section How can I run the test suite on selected tests? |
1233 | ||
1234 | As a first possibility to cut down the number of tests that are run it is | |
38209993 | 1235 | possible to use @samp{make check-gcc} or @samp{make check-g++} |
eea81d3e | 1236 | in the @file{gcc} subdirectory of the object directory. To further cut down the |
f42974dc DW |
1237 | tests the following is possible: |
1238 | ||
1239 | @example | |
6cfb3f16 | 1240 | make check-gcc RUNTESTFLAGS="execute.exp @var{other-options}" |
f42974dc DW |
1241 | @end example |
1242 | ||
eea81d3e | 1243 | This will run all @command{gcc} execute tests in the testsuite. |
f42974dc DW |
1244 | |
1245 | @example | |
6cfb3f16 | 1246 | make check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="old-deja.exp=9805* @var{other-options}" |
f42974dc DW |
1247 | @end example |
1248 | ||
eea81d3e | 1249 | This will run the @command{g++} ``old-deja'' tests in the testsuite where the filename |
6cfb3f16 | 1250 | matches @samp{9805*}. |
f42974dc | 1251 | |
6cfb3f16 JM |
1252 | The @file{*.exp} files are located in the testsuite directories of the GCC |
1253 | source, the most important ones being @file{compile.exp}, | |
1254 | @file{execute.exp}, @file{dg.exp} and @file{old-deja.exp}. | |
1255 | To get a list of the possible @file{*.exp} files, pipe the | |
38209993 | 1256 | output of @samp{make check} into a file and look at the |
6cfb3f16 | 1257 | @samp{Running @dots{} .exp} lines. |
f42974dc DW |
1258 | |
1259 | @section How to interpret test results | |
1260 | ||
6cfb3f16 | 1261 | After the testsuite has run you'll find various @file{*.sum} and @file{*.log} |
767094dd | 1262 | files in the testsuite subdirectories. The @file{*.log} files contain a |
f42974dc | 1263 | detailed log of the compiler invocations and the corresponding |
767094dd | 1264 | results, the @file{*.sum} files summarize the results. These summaries list |
f42974dc DW |
1265 | all the tests that have been run with a corresponding status code: |
1266 | ||
1267 | @itemize @bullet | |
1268 | @item | |
1269 | PASS: the test passed as expected | |
1270 | @item | |
1271 | XPASS: the test unexpectedly passed | |
1272 | @item | |
1273 | FAIL: the test unexpectedly failed | |
1274 | @item | |
1275 | XFAIL: the test failed as expected | |
1276 | @item | |
1277 | UNSUPPORTED: the test is not supported on this platform | |
1278 | @item | |
1279 | ERROR: the testsuite detected an error | |
1280 | @item | |
1281 | WARNING: the testsuite detected a possible problem | |
1282 | @end itemize | |
1283 | ||
38209993 LG |
1284 | It is normal for some tests to report unexpected failures. At the |
1285 | current time our testing harness does not allow fine grained control | |
1286 | over whether or not a test is expected to fail. We expect to fix this | |
1287 | problem in future releases. | |
f42974dc DW |
1288 | |
1289 | ||
1290 | @section Submitting test results | |
1291 | ||
1292 | If you want to report the results to the GCC project, use the | |
767094dd | 1293 | @file{contrib/test_summary} shell script. Start it in the @var{objdir} with |
f42974dc DW |
1294 | |
1295 | @example | |
6cfb3f16 JM |
1296 | @var{srcdir}/contrib/test_summary -p your_commentary.txt \ |
1297 | -m gcc-testresults@@gcc.gnu.org |sh | |
f42974dc DW |
1298 | @end example |
1299 | ||
6cfb3f16 | 1300 | This script uses the @command{Mail} program to send the results, so |
767094dd | 1301 | make sure it is in your @env{PATH}. The file @file{your_commentary.txt} is |
f42974dc | 1302 | prepended to the testsuite summary and should contain any special |
767094dd | 1303 | remarks you have on your results or your build environment. Please |
f42974dc | 1304 | do not edit the testsuite result block or the subject line, as these |
f9047ed3 | 1305 | messages are automatically parsed and presented at the |
f42974dc DW |
1306 | @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/testresults/,,GCC testresults} web |
1307 | page. Here you can also gather information on how specific tests | |
767094dd | 1308 | behave on different platforms and compare them with your results. A |
f42974dc DW |
1309 | few failing testcases are possible even on released versions and you |
1310 | should look here first if you think your results are unreasonable. | |

1331 | Now that GCC has been built (and optionally tested), you can install it with |
1332 | @example | |
1333 | cd @var{objdir}; make install | |
1334 | @end example | |
f42974dc | 1335 | |

1336 | We strongly recommend to install into a target directory where there is |
1337 | no previous version of GCC present. | |
1338 | ||
f42974dc | 1339 | That step completes the installation of GCC; user level binaries can |

1340 | be found in @file{@var{prefix}/bin} where @var{prefix} is the value you |
1341 | specified with the @option{--prefix} to configure (or @file{/usr/local} | |
ab130aa5 JM |
1342 | by default). (If you specified @option{--bindir}, that directory will |
1343 | be used instead; otherwise, if you specified @option{--exec-prefix}, | |
1344 | @file{@var{exec-prefix}/bin} will be used.) Headers for the C++ and | |
1345 | Java libraries are installed in @file{@var{prefix}/include}; libraries | |
1346 | in @file{@var{libdir}} (normally @file{@var{prefix}/lib}); internal | |

1730 | In Digital Unix V4.0, virtual memory exhausted bootstrap failures |

1734 | or applying the patch in | |

1736 | ||
f2541106 RO |
1737 | In Tru64 UNIX V5.1, Compaq introduced a new assembler that does not |
1738 | currently (2001-06-13) work with @command{mips-tfile}. As a workaround, | |
1739 | we need to use the old assembler, invoked via the barely documented | |
1740 | @option{-oldas} option. To bootstrap GCC, you either need to use the | |
1741 | Compaq C Compiler: | |
1742 | ||
1743 | @example | |
eea81d3e | 1744 | % CC=cc @var{srcdir}/configure [@var{options}] [@var{target}] |
f2541106 RO |
1745 | @end example |
1746 | ||
1747 | or you can use a copy of GCC 2.95.3 or higher built on Tru64 UNIX V4.0: | |
1748 | ||
1749 | @example | |
eea81d3e | 1750 | % CC=gcc -Wa,-oldas @var{srcdir}/configure [@var{options}] [@var{target}] |
f2541106 | 1751 | @end example |
b8df899a | 1752 | |
b953cc4b RO |
1753 | As of GNU binutils 2.11.2, neither GNU @command{as} nor GNU @command{ld} |
1754 | are supported on Tru64 UNIX, so you must not configure GCC with | |
1755 | @option{--with-gnu-as} or @option{--with-gnu-ld}. | |
1756 | ||
1757 | The @option{--enable-threads} options isn't supported yet. A patch is | |
18b467f1 | 1758 | in preparation for a future release. |
b953cc4b | 1759 | |
f0523f02 | 1760 | GCC writes a @samp{.verstamp} directive to the assembler output file |
b8df899a JM |
1761 | unless it is built as a cross-compiler. It gets the version to use from |
1762 | the system header file @file{/usr/include/stamp.h}. If you install a | |
1763 | new version of DEC Unix, you should rebuild GCC to pick up the new version | |
1764 | stamp. | |
1765 | ||
1766 | Note that since the Alpha is a 64-bit architecture, cross-compilers from | |
1767 | 32-bit machines will not generate code as efficient as that generated | |
1768 | when the compiler is running on a 64-bit machine because many | |
1769 | optimizations that depend on being able to represent a word on the | |
1770 | target in an integral value on the host cannot be performed. Building | |
1771 | cross-compilers on the Alpha for 32-bit machines has only been tested in | |
1772 | a few cases and may not work properly. | |
1773 | ||
1774 | @code{make compare} may fail on old versions of DEC Unix unless you add | |
6cfb3f16 | 1775 | @option{-save-temps} to @code{CFLAGS}. On these systems, the name of the |
b8df899a JM |
1776 | assembler input file is stored in the object file, and that makes |
1777 | comparison fail if it differs between the @code{stage1} and | |
6cfb3f16 | 1778 | @code{stage2} compilations. The option @option{-save-temps} forces a |
b8df899a | 1779 | fixed name to be used for the assembler input file, instead of a |
6cfb3f16 | 1780 | randomly chosen name in @file{/tmp}. Do not add @option{-save-temps} |
b8df899a | 1781 | unless the comparisons fail without that option. If you add |
6cfb3f16 | 1782 | @option{-save-temps}, you will have to manually delete the @samp{.i} and |
b8df899a JM |
1783 | @samp{.s} files after each series of compilations. |
1784 | ||
f0523f02 | 1785 | GCC now supports both the native (ECOFF) debugging format used by DBX |
161d7b59 | 1786 | and GDB and an encapsulated STABS format for use only with GDB@. See the |
6cfb3f16 | 1787 | discussion of the @option{--with-stabs} option of @file{configure} above |
b8df899a JM |
1788 | for more information on these formats and how to select them. |
1789 | ||
1790 | There is a bug in DEC's assembler that produces incorrect line numbers | |
1791 | for ECOFF format when the @samp{.align} directive is used. To work | |
f0523f02 | 1792 | around this problem, GCC will not emit such alignment directives |
b8df899a JM |
1793 | while writing ECOFF format debugging information even if optimization is |
1794 | being performed. Unfortunately, this has the very undesirable | |
6cfb3f16 JM |
1795 | side-effect that code addresses when @option{-O} is specified are |
1796 | different depending on whether or not @option{-g} is also specified. | |
b8df899a | 1797 | |
6cfb3f16 | 1798 | To avoid this behavior, specify @option{-gstabs+} and use GDB instead of |
161d7b59 | 1799 | DBX@. DEC is now aware of this problem with the assembler and hopes to |
b8df899a JM |
1800 | provide a fix shortly. |

1807 | ||
1808 | This port is incomplete and has many known bugs. We hope to improve the | |
1809 | support for this target soon. Currently, only the C front end is supported, | |
1810 | and it is not possible to build parallel applications. Cray modules are not | |
1811 | supported; in particular, Craylibs are assumed to be in | |
1812 | @file{/opt/ctl/craylibs/craylibs}. | |
1813 | ||
1814 | You absolutely @strong{must} use GNU make on this platform. Also, you | |
1815 | need to tell GCC where to find the assembler and the linker. The | |
1816 | simplest way to do so is by providing @option{--with-as} and | |
1817 | @option{--with-ld} to @file{configure}, e.g.@: | |
1818 | ||
8c085f6f JJ |
1819 | @example |
1820 | configure --with-as=/opt/ctl/bin/cam --with-ld=/opt/ctl/bin/cld \ | |
1821 | --enable-languages=c | |
1822 | @end example | |
71b96724 RL |
1823 | |
1824 | The comparison test during @samp{make bootstrap} fails on Unicos/Mk | |
1825 | because the assembler inserts timestamps into object files. You should | |
1826 | be able to work around this by doing @samp{make all} after getting this | |
1827 | failure. | |

021c4bfd RO |
1998 | configuration support and files as shipped with GCC 2.95 are still in |
1999 | place. FreeBSD 2.2.7 has been known to bootstrap completely; however, | |
2000 | it is unknown which version of binutils was used (it is assumed that it | |
2001 | was the system copy in @file{/usr/bin}) and C++ EH failures were noted. | |
2002 | ||
2003 | For FreeBSD using the ELF file format: DWARF 2 debugging is now the | |
2004 | default for all CPU architectures. It had been the default on | |
2005 | FreeBSD/alpha since its inception. You may use @option{-gstabs} instead | |
2006 | of @option{-g}, if you really want the old debugging format. There are | |
2007 | no known issues with mixing object files and libraries with different | |
2008 | debugging formats. Otherwise, this release of GCC should now match more | |
2009 | of the configuration used in the stock FreeBSD configuration of GCC. In | |
2010 | particular, @option{--enable-threads} is now configured by default. | |
2011 | However, as a general user, do not attempt to replace the system | |
2012 | compiler with this release. Known to bootstrap and check with good | |
46fc709d LR |
2013 | results on FreeBSD 3.0, 3.4, 4.0, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5-STABLE and 5-CURRENT@. |
2014 | ||
2015 | In principle, @option{--enable-threads} is now compatible with | |
2016 | @option{--enable-libgcj} on FreeBSD@. However, it has only been built | |
8c085f6f JJ |
2017 | and tested on @samp{i386-*-freebsd4.5} and @samp{alpha-*-freebsd5.0}. |
2018 | The static | |
6b976d99 LR |
2019 | library may be incorrectly built (symbols are missing at link time). |
2020 | There is a rare timing-based startup hang (probably involves an | |
2021 | assupmtion about the thread library). Multi-threaded boehm-gc (required for | |
46fc709d LR |
2022 | libjava) exposes severe threaded signal-handling bugs on FreeBSD before |
2023 | 4.5-RELEASE. The alpha port may not fully bootstrap without some manual | |
8c085f6f | 2024 | intervention: @command{gcjh} will crash with a floating-point exception while |
46fc709d | 2025 | generating @file{java/lang/Double.h} (just copy the version built on |
8c085f6f JJ |
2026 | @samp{i386-*-freebsd*} and rerun the top-level @command{gmake} with no |
2027 | arguments and it | |
46fc709d LR |
2028 | should properly complete the bootstrap). Other CPU architectures |
2029 | supported by FreeBSD will require additional configuration tuning in, at | |
2030 | the very least, both boehm-gc and libffi. | |

2159 | prior to gcc, or a binary distribution of gcc or binutils must be | |
2160 | obtained for the initial builds. When starting with a HP compiler, | |
2161 | it is preferable to use the ANSI compiler as the bundled compiler | |
2162 | only supports traditional C. Bootstrapping with the bundled compiler | |

2239 | Unlike earlier versions of GCC, the ability to generate COFF with this | |
2240 | target is no longer provided. | |
2241 | ||
021c4bfd | 2242 | Earlier versions of GCC emitted DWARF 1 when generating ELF to allow |
f42974dc | 2243 | the system debugger to be used. That support was too burdensome to |
021c4bfd | 2244 | maintain. GCC now emits only DWARF 2 for this target. This means you |
f42974dc | 2245 | may use either the UDK debugger or GDB to debug programs built by this |
161d7b59 | 2246 | version of GCC@. |
f42974dc | 2247 | |
021c4bfd | 2248 | Use of the @option{-march=pentiumpro} flag can result in |
f42974dc | 2249 | unrecognized opcodes when using the native assembler on OS versions before |
767094dd | 2250 | 5.0.6. (Support for P6 opcodes was added to the native ELF assembler in |
f9047ed3 | 2251 | that version.) While it's rather rare to see these emitted by GCC yet, |
f42974dc DW |
2252 | errors of the basic form: |
2253 | ||
2254 | @example | |
2255 | /usr/tmp/ccaNlqBc.s:22:unknown instruction: fcomip | |
2256 | /usr/tmp/ccaNlqBc.s:50:unknown instruction: fucomip | |
2257 | @end example | |
2258 | ||
2259 | are symptoms of this problem. You may work around this by not | |
2260 | building affected files with that flag, by using the GNU assembler, or | |
161d7b59 | 2261 | by using the assembler provided with the current version of the OS@. |
f42974dc DW |
2262 | Users of GNU assembler should see the note below for hazards on doing |
2263 | so. | |
2264 | ||
2265 | The native SCO assembler that is provided with the OS at no | |
2266 | charge is normally required. If, however, you must be able to use | |
2267 | the GNU assembler (perhaps you're compiling code with asms that | |
2268 | require GAS syntax) you may configure this package using the flags | |
38209993 LG |
2269 | @uref{./configure.html#with-gnu-as,,@option{--with-gnu-as}}. You must |
2270 | use a recent version of GNU binutils; versions past 2.9.1 seem to work | |
2271 | well. | |
f42974dc DW |
2272 | |
2273 | In general, the @option{--with-gnu-as} option isn't as well tested | |
2274 | as the native assembler. | |
2275 | ||
6cfb3f16 | 2276 | Look in @file{gcc/config/i386/sco5.h} (search for ``messy'') for |
f42974dc DW |
2277 | additional OpenServer-specific flags. |
2278 | ||
38209993 | 2279 | Systems based on OpenServer before 5.0.4 (@samp{uname -X} |

f42974dc DW |
2282 | for C++ constructors and destructors to work right. |
2283 | ||
2284 | The system linker in (at least) 5.0.4 and 5.0.5 will sometimes | |
2285 | do the wrong thing for a construct that GCC will emit for PIC | |
2286 | code. This can be seen as execution testsuite failures when using | |
6cfb3f16 | 2287 | @option{-fPIC} on @file{921215-1.c}, @file{931002-1.c}, @file{nestfunc-1.c}, and @file{gcov-1.c}. |
f42974dc | 2288 | For 5.0.5, an updated linker that will cure this problem is |
f9047ed3 | 2289 | available. You must install both |

2293 | The dynamic linker in OpenServer 5.0.5 (earlier versions may show | |
021c4bfd | 2294 | the same problem) aborts on certain G77-compiled programs. It's particularly |
f42974dc DW |
2295 | likely to be triggered by building Fortran code with the @option{-fPIC} flag. |
2296 | Although it's conceivable that the error could be triggered by other | |
2297 | code, only G77-compiled code has been observed to cause this abort. | |
2298 | If you are getting core dumps immediately upon execution of your | |
021c4bfd RO |
2299 | G77 program---and especially if it's compiled with @option{-fPIC}---try applying |
2300 | @uref{sco_osr5_g77.patch,,@file{sco_osr5_g77.patch}} to your @samp{libf2c} and | |

f42974dc DW |
2317 | but is meant to be used when hosting on a system where UDK isn't the |

f9047ed3 | 2324 | from the right place) while making the tools not think we're actually |
f42974dc DW |
2325 | building a cross compiler. The easiest way to do this is with a configure |
2326 | command like this: | |
2327 | ||
8c085f6f JJ |
2328 | @example |
2329 | CC=/udk/usr/ccs/bin/cc @var{/your/path/to}/gcc/configure \ | |

2338 | tools by adding @command{udk-} before the commonly known name. For |
2339 | example, to invoke the C compiler, you would use @command{udk-gcc}. | |

2385 | AIX Make frequently has problems with GCC makefiles. GNU Make 3.76 or | |
2386 | newer is recommended to build on this platform. | |
2387 | ||
6cfb3f16 | 2388 | Errors involving @code{alloca} when building GCC generally are due |
021c4bfd | 2389 | to an incorrect definition of @code{CC} in the Makefile or mixing files |
161d7b59 | 2390 | compiled with the native C compiler and GCC@. During the stage1 phase of |
6cfb3f16 JM |
2391 | the build, the native AIX compiler @strong{must} be invoked as @command{cc} |
2392 | (not @command{xlc}). Once @command{configure} has been informed of | |
2393 | @command{xlc}, one needs to use @samp{make distclean} to remove the | |
38209993 | 2394 | configure cache files and ensure that @env{CC} environment variable |
f42974dc DW |
2395 | does not provide a definition that will confuse @command{configure}. |

2408 | @samp{libstdc++} in GCC 3.2 increments the major version number of the |

2410 | shared library in a common location which will overwrite the GCC 3.1 | |

2541 | Use @samp{configure unos} for building on Unos. |
2542 | ||
2543 | The Unos assembler is named @code{casm} instead of @code{as}. For some | |
2544 | strange reason linking @file{/bin/as} to @file{/bin/casm} changes the | |
f0523f02 | 2545 | behavior, and does not work. So, when installing GCC, you should |
b8df899a JM |
2546 | install the following script as @file{as} in the subdirectory where |
2547 | the passes of GCC are installed: | |
2548 | ||
2549 | @example | |
2550 | #!/bin/sh | |
2551 | casm $* | |
2552 | @end example | |
2553 | ||
2554 | The default Unos library is named @file{libunos.a} instead of | |
f0523f02 | 2555 | @file{libc.a}. To allow GCC to function, either change all |
6cfb3f16 | 2556 | references to @option{-lc} in @file{gcc.c} to @option{-lunos} or link |
b8df899a JM |
2557 | @file{/lib/libc.a} to @file{/lib/libunos.a}. |
2558 | ||
2559 | @cindex @code{alloca}, for Unos | |
f0523f02 | 2560 | When compiling GCC with the standard compiler, to overcome bugs in |
6cfb3f16 JM |
2561 | the support of @code{alloca}, do not use @option{-O} when making stage 2. |
2562 | Then use the stage 2 compiler with @option{-O} to make the stage 3 | |
b8df899a JM |
2563 | compiler. This compiler will have the same characteristics as the usual |
2564 | stage 2 compiler on other systems. Use it to make a stage 4 compiler | |
2565 | and compare that with stage 3 to verify proper compilation. | |
2566 | ||
2567 | (Perhaps simply defining @code{ALLOCA} in @file{x-crds} as described in | |
2568 | the comments there will make the above paragraph superfluous. Please | |
2569 | inform us of whether this works.) | |
2570 | ||
2571 | Unos uses memory segmentation instead of demand paging, so you will need | |
2572 | a lot of memory. 5 Mb is barely enough if no other tasks are running. | |
2573 | If linking @file{cc1} fails, try putting the object files into a library | |
2574 | and linking from that library. | |

2595 | HP, as described in the following note: | |
2596 | ||
2597 | @quotation | |
2598 | This is the patched assembler, to patch SR#1653-010439, where the | |
2599 | assembler aborts on floating point constants. | |
2600 | ||
2601 | The bug is not really in the assembler, but in the shared library | |
2602 | version of the function ``cvtnum(3c)''. The bug on ``cvtnum(3c)'' is | |
2603 | SR#4701-078451. Anyway, the attached assembler uses the archive | |
2604 | library version of ``cvtnum(3c)'' and thus does not exhibit the bug. | |
2605 | @end quotation | |

2607 | This patch is also known as PHCO_4484. | |
2608 | ||
021c4bfd | 2609 | In addition, if you wish to use gas, you must use |
b8df899a JM |
2610 | gas version 2.1 or later, and you must use the GNU linker version 2.1 or |
2611 | later. Earlier versions of gas relied upon a program which converted the | |
2612 | gas output into the native HP-UX format, but that program has not been | |
2613 | kept up to date. gdb does not understand that native HP-UX format, so | |
2614 | you must use gas if you wish to use gdb. | |
2615 | ||
2616 | On HP-UX version 8.05, but not on 8.07 or more recent versions, the | |
2617 | @code{fixproto} shell script triggers a bug in the system shell. If you | |
2618 | encounter this problem, upgrade your operating system or use BASH (the | |
2619 | GNU shell) to run @code{fixproto}. This bug will cause the fixproto | |
2620 | program to report an error of the form: | |
2621 | ||
2622 | @example | |
2623 | ./fixproto: sh internal 1K buffer overflow | |
2624 | @end example | |
2625 | ||
2626 | To fix this, you can also change the first line of the fixproto script | |
2627 | to look like: | |
2628 | ||
2629 | @example | |
2630 | #!/bin/ksh | |

2684 | In order to compile GCC on an SGI running IRIX 5, the ``compiler_dev.hdr'' |

2689 | @code{make compare} may fail on version 5 of IRIX unless you add |
2690 | @option{-save-temps} to @code{CFLAGS}. On these systems, the name of the | |
2691 | assembler input file is stored in the object file, and that makes | |
2692 | comparison fail if it differs between the @code{stage1} and | |
2693 | @code{stage2} compilations. The option @option{-save-temps} forces a | |
2694 | fixed name to be used for the assembler input file, instead of a | |
2695 | randomly chosen name in @file{/tmp}. Do not add @option{-save-temps} | |
2696 | unless the comparisons fail without that option. If you do you | |
2697 | @option{-save-temps}, you will have to manually delete the @samp{.i} and | |
2698 | @samp{.s} files after each series of compilations. | |

213ba345 RO |
2707 | and use the @option{--with-gnu-as} configure option when configuring GCC. |
2708 | GNU @command{as} is distributed as part of the binutils package. | |

213ba345 | 2726 | If you are using IRIX @command{cc} as your bootstrap compiler, you must |
f42974dc DW |

2745 | @end example |
2746 | ||
213ba345 | 2747 | then your version of @command{cc} uses the O32 or N64 ABI by default. You |

2751 | If you want the resulting @command{gcc} to run on old 32-bit systems |
2752 | with the MIPS R4400 CPU, you need to ensure that only code for the mips3 | |
2753 | instruction set architecture (ISA) is generated. While GCC 3.x does | |
2754 | this correctly, both GCC 2.95 and SGI's MIPSpro @command{cc} may change | |
2755 | the ISA depending on the machine where GCC is built. Using one of them | |
2756 | as the bootstrap compiler may result in mips4 code, which won't run at | |
2757 | all on mips3-only systems. For the test program above, you should see: | |
2758 | ||
2759 | @example | |

2768 | ||
2769 | instead, you should set the environment variable @env{CC} to @samp{cc | |

2772 | GCC on IRIX 6 is usually built to support both the N32 and N64 ABIs. If |
2773 | you build GCC on a system that doesn't have the N64 libraries installed, | |
2774 | you need to configure with @option{--disable-multilib} so GCC doesn't | |
2775 | try to use them. Look for @file{/usr/lib64/libc.so.1} to see if you | |
2776 | have the 64-bit libraries installed. | |
2777 | ||
2778 | You must @emph{not} use GNU @command{as} (which isn't built anyway as of | |
2779 | binutils 2.11.2) on IRIX 6 platforms; doing so will only cause problems. | |
2780 | ||
f42974dc | 2781 | GCC does not currently support generating O32 ABI binaries in the |
b953cc4b | 2782 | @samp{mips-sgi-irix6} configurations. It is possible to create a GCC |
213ba345 | 2783 | with O32 ABI only support by configuring it for the @samp{mips-sgi-irix5} |
b953cc4b RO |
2784 | target and using a patched GNU @command{as} 2.11.2 as documented in the |
2785 | @uref{#mips-sgi-irix5,,@samp{mips-sgi-irix5}} section above. Using the | |
2786 | native assembler requires patches to GCC which will be included in a | |
2787 | future release. It is | |

2790 | The @option{--enable-threads} option doesn't currently work, a patch is |
2791 | in preparation for a future release. The @option{--enable-libgcj} | |
2792 | option is disabled by default: IRIX 6 uses a very low default limit | |
2793 | (20480) for the command line length. Although libtool contains a | |
2794 | workaround for this problem, at least the N64 @samp{libgcj} is known not | |
2795 | to build despite this, running into an internal error of the native | |
2796 | @command{ld}. A sure fix is to increase this limit (@samp{ncargs}) to | |
2797 | its maximum of 262144 bytes. If you have root access, you can use the | |
2798 | @command{systune} command to do this. | |
2799 | ||
f42974dc | 2800 | GCC does not correctly pass/return structures which are |
767094dd JM |
2801 | smaller than 16 bytes and which are not 8 bytes. The problem is very |
2802 | involved and difficult to fix. It affects a number of other targets also, | |
57694e40 | 2803 | but IRIX 6 is affected the most, because it is a 64-bit target, and 4 byte |
767094dd | 2804 | structures are common. The exact problem is that structures are being padded |
e979f9e8 | 2805 | at the wrong end, e.g.@: a 4 byte structure is loaded into the lower 4 bytes |
f42974dc DW |
2806 | of the register when it should be loaded into the upper 4 bytes of the |
2807 | register. | |
2808 | ||
2809 | GCC is consistent with itself, but not consistent with the SGI C compiler | |
2810 | (and the SGI supplied runtime libraries), so the only failures that can | |
2811 | happen are when there are library functions that take/return such | |
213ba345 RO |
2812 | structures. There are very few such library functions. Currently this |
2813 | is known to affect @code{inet_ntoa}, @code{inet_lnaof}, | |
46d2e8d7 RO |
2814 | @code{inet_netof}, @code{inet_makeaddr}, and @code{semctl}. Until the |

2842 | Versions of the assembler prior to ``cctools-364'' cannot handle the | |

2846 | install the assembler as @file{usr/bin/as}. See | |

2848 | ||
2849 | Also, the default stack limit of 512K is too small, and a bootstrap will | |
2850 | typically fail when self-compiling @file{expr.c}. Set the stack to 800K | |
2851 | or more, for instance by doing @samp{limit stack 800}. It's also | |
2852 | convenient to use the GNU preprocessor instead of Apple's during the | |

3012 | This is Sun bug 4237974. This is fixed with patch 108908-02 for Solaris |

3018 | this; the @option{-m64} option enables 64-bit code generation. | |
3019 | However, if all you want is code tuned for the UltraSPARC CPU, you | |
3020 | should try the @option{-mtune=ultrasparc} option instead, which produces | |
3021 | code that, unlike full 64-bit code, can still run on non-UltraSPARC | |
edf1c8df | 3022 | machines. |

975c6e4e | 3024 | When configuring on a Solaris 7 or later system that is running a kernel |

f42974dc DW |
3035 | the dynamic linker. This problem (Sun bug 4210064) affects GCC 2.8 |
3036 | and later, including all EGCS releases. Sun formerly recommended | |
3037 | 107058-01 for all Solaris 7 users, but around 1999-09-01 it started to | |
3038 | recommend it only for people who use Sun's compilers. | |

3040 | Here are some workarounds to this problem: |
3041 | @itemize @bullet | |
3042 | @item | |
3043 | Do not install Sun patch 107058-01 until after Sun releases a | |
3044 | complete patch for bug 4210064. This is the simplest course to take, | |
3045 | unless you must also use Sun's C compiler. Unfortunately 107058-01 | |
250d5688 | 3046 | is preinstalled on some new Solaris 7-based hosts, so you may have to |
f42974dc | 3047 | back it out. |
f9047ed3 | 3048 | |
f42974dc DW |
3049 | @item |
3050 | Copy the original, unpatched Solaris 7 | |
3051 | @command{/usr/ccs/bin/as} into | |
975c6e4e | 3052 | @command{/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/3.1/as}, |
f42974dc DW |
3053 | adjusting the latter name to fit your local conventions and software |

3057 | Install Sun patch 106950-03 (1999-05-25) or later. Nobody with | |
3058 | both 107058-01 and 106950-03 installed has reported the bug with GCC | |
3059 | and Sun's dynamic linker. This last course of action is riskiest, | |
3060 | for two reasons. First, you must install 106950 on all hosts that | |
3061 | run code generated by GCC; it doesn't suffice to install it only on | |
3062 | the hosts that run GCC itself. Second, Sun says that 106950-03 is | |
3063 | only a partial fix for bug 4210064, but Sun doesn't know whether the | |
161d7b59 | 3064 | partial fix is adequate for GCC@. Revision -08 or later should fix |
250d5688 | 3065 | the bug. The current (as of 2001-09-24) revision is -14, and is included in |
f282ffb3 | 3066 | the Solaris 7 Recommended Patch Cluster. |

f9047ed3 JM |
3235 | |
3236 | GCC contains support files for many older (1980s and early | |
3237 | 1990s) Unix variants. For the most part, support for these systems | |
3238 | has not been deliberately removed, but it has not been maintained for | |
c7bdf0a6 | 3239 | several years and may suffer from bitrot. |
f9047ed3 | 3240 | |
c7bdf0a6 | 3241 | Starting with GCC 3.1, each release has a list of ``obsoleted'' systems. |
9340544b ZW |
3242 | Support for these systems is still present in that release, but |
3243 | @command{configure} will fail unless the @option{--enable-obsolete} | |
c7bdf0a6 ZW |
3244 | option is given. Unless a maintainer steps forward, support for these |
3245 | systems will be removed from the next release of GCC@. | |
f9047ed3 JM |
3246 | |
3247 | Support for old systems as hosts for GCC can cause problems if the | |
3248 | workarounds for compiler, library and operating system bugs affect the | |
161d7b59 | 3249 | cleanliness or maintainability of the rest of GCC@. In some cases, to |
f9047ed3 JM |
3250 | bring GCC up on such a system, if still possible with current GCC, may |
3251 | require first installing an old version of GCC which did work on that | |
c7bdf0a6 ZW |
3252 | system, and using it to compile a more recent GCC, to avoid bugs in the |
3253 | vendor compiler. Old releases of GCC 1 and GCC 2 are available in the | |
3254 | @file{old-releases} directory on the @uref{../mirrors.html,,GCC mirror | |
3255 | sites}. Header bugs may generally be avoided using | |
3256 | @command{fixincludes}, but bugs or deficiencies in libraries and the | |
3257 | operating system may still cause problems. | |
3258 | ||
3259 | Support for older systems as targets for cross-compilation is less | |
3260 | problematic than support for them as hosts for GCC; if an enthusiast | |
3261 | wishes to make such a target work again (including resurrecting any of | |
3262 | the targets that never worked with GCC 2, starting from the last CVS | |
3263 | version before they were removed), patches | |
3264 | @uref{../contribute.html,,following the usual requirements} would be | |
3265 | likely to be accepted, since they should not affect the support for more | |
3266 | modern targets. | |
f9047ed3 JM |
3267 | |
3268 | For some systems, old versions of GNU binutils may also be useful, | |
021c4bfd | 3269 | and are available from @file{pub/binutils/old-releases} on |
f42974dc | 3270 | @uref{http://sources.redhat.com/mirrors.html,,sources.redhat.com mirror sites}. |
f9047ed3 JM |
3271 | |
3272 | Some of the information on specific systems above relates to | |
3273 | such older systems, but much of the information | |
3274 | about GCC on such systems (which may no longer be applicable to | |
f42974dc | 3275 | current GCC) is to be found in the GCC texinfo manual. |
