f42974dc | 182 | we suggest that you install GCC into a directory of its own and simply |
38209993 | 183 | remove that directory when you do not need that specific version of GCC |

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 | |

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 | ||
0aa911c5 LR |
287 | First, in general, GCC @strong{must} be built into a separate directory |
288 | than the sources which does @strong{not} reside within the source tree. | |
289 | This is how almost all developers build GCC; building where @var{srcdir} | |
290 | == @var{objdir} is completely unsupported; building where @var{objdir} | |
291 | is a subdirectory of @var{srcdir} is completely unsupported. | |
f42974dc | 292 | |
eea81d3e | 293 | If you have previously built GCC in the same directory for a |
f85b8d1a JM |
294 | different target machine, do @samp{make distclean} to delete all files |
295 | that might be invalid. One of the files this deletes is | |
296 | @file{Makefile}; if @samp{make distclean} complains that @file{Makefile} | |
297 | does not exist, it probably means that the directory is already suitably | |
298 | clean. However, with the recommended method of building in a separate | |
299 | @var{objdir}, you should simply use a different @var{objdir} for each | |
300 | target. | |
301 | ||
38209993 LG |
302 | Second, when configuring a native system, either @command{cc} or |
303 | @command{gcc} must be in your path or you must set @env{CC} in | |
df002c7d DE |
304 | your environment before running configure. Otherwise the configuration |
305 | scripts may fail. | |
f42974dc | 306 | |
eea81d3e RO |
307 | Note that the bootstrap compiler and the resulting GCC must be link |
308 | compatible, else the bootstrap will fail with linker errors about | |
309 | incompatible object file formats. Several multilibed targets are | |
e69aa433 GP |
310 | affected by this requirement, see |

38209993 | 330 | GCC has code to correctly determine the correct value for @var{target} |
f9047ed3 | 331 | for nearly all native systems. Therefore, we highly recommend you not |
f42974dc DW |
332 | provide a configure target when configuring a native compiler. |
333 | ||
334 | @item | |
6cfb3f16 | 335 | @var{target} must be specified as @option{--target=@var{target}} |
f9047ed3 | 336 | when configuring a cross compiler; examples of valid targets would be |

337 | i960-rtems, m68k-coff, sh-elf, etc. |

339 | @item | |
6cfb3f16 | 340 | Specifying just @var{target} instead of @option{--target=@var{target}} |
38209993 | 341 | implies that the host defaults to @var{target}. |

410 | Appends @var{suffix} to the names of programs to install in @var{bindir} | |
411 | (see above). For example, specifying @option{--program-suffix=-3.1} | |
412 | would result in @samp{gcc} being installed as | |
413 | @file{/usr/local/bin/gcc-3.1}. | |
414 | ||
415 | @item --program-transform-name=@var{pattern} | |
416 | Applies the @samp{sed} script @var{pattern} to be applied to the names | |
417 | of programs to install in @var{bindir} (see above). @var{pattern} has to | |
418 | consist of one or more basic @samp{sed} editing commands, separated by | |
419 | semicolons. For example, if you want the @samp{gcc} program name to be | |
420 | transformed to the installed program @file{/usr/local/bin/myowngcc} and | |
421 | the @samp{g++} program name to be transformed to | |
422 | @file{/usr/local/bin/gspecial++} without changing other program names, | |
423 | you could use the pattern | |
424 | @option{--program-transform-name='s/^gcc$/myowngcc/; s/^g++$/gspecial++/'} | |
425 | to achieve this effect. | |
426 | ||
427 | All three options can be combined and used together, resulting in more | |
428 | complex conversion patterns. As a basic rule, @var{prefix} (and | |
429 | @var{suffix}) are prepended (appended) before further transformations | |
430 | can happen with a special transformation script @var{pattern}. | |
431 | ||
432 | As currently implemented, this options only take effect for native | |
433 | builds; cross compiler binaries' names are not transformed even when a | |
434 | transformation is explicitly asked for by one of this options. | |
435 | ||
436 | For native builds, some of the installed programs are also installed | |
437 | with the target alias in front of their name, as in | |
438 | @samp{i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc}. All of the above transformations happen | |
439 | before the target alias is prepended to the name - so, specifying | |
440 | @option{--program-prefix=foo-} and @option{program-suffix=-3.1}, the | |
441 | resulting binary would be installed as | |
442 | @file{/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-foo-gcc-3.1}. | |
443 | ||
8ecab453 | 444 | As a last shortcoming, none of the installed Ada programs are |
b21d216c AF |
445 | transformed yet, which will be fixed in some time. |
446 | ||
ef88b07d JM |
447 | @item --with-local-prefix=@var{dirname} |
448 | Specify the | |
6ac48571 JM |
449 | installation directory for local include files. The default is |
450 | @file{/usr/local}. Specify this option if you want the compiler to | |
451 | search directory @file{@var{dirname}/include} for locally installed | |
452 | header files @emph{instead} of @file{/usr/local/include}. | |
453 | ||
454 | You should specify @option{--with-local-prefix} @strong{only} if your | |
455 | site has a different convention (not @file{/usr/local}) for where to put | |
456 | site-specific files. | |
457 | ||
458 | The default value for @option{--with-local-prefix} is @file{/usr/local} | |
459 | regardless of the value of @option{--prefix}. Specifying | |
460 | @option{--prefix} has no effect on which directory GCC searches for | |
461 | local header files. This may seem counterintuitive, but actually it is | |
462 | logical. | |
463 | ||
464 | The purpose of @option{--prefix} is to specify where to @emph{install | |
465 | GCC}. The local header files in @file{/usr/local/include}---if you put | |
161d7b59 | 466 | any in that directory---are not part of GCC@. They are part of other |
6ac48571 JM |
467 | programs---perhaps many others. (GCC installs its own header files in |
468 | another directory which is based on the @option{--prefix} value.) | |
469 | ||
470 | @strong{Do not} specify @file{/usr} as the @option{--with-local-prefix}! | |
471 | The directory you use for @option{--with-local-prefix} @strong{must not} | |
472 | contain any of the system's standard header files. If it did contain | |
473 | them, certain programs would be miscompiled (including GNU Emacs, on | |
474 | certain targets), because this would override and nullify the header | |
475 | file corrections made by the @code{fixincludes} script. | |
476 | ||
477 | Indications are that people who use this option use it based on mistaken | |
478 | ideas of what it is for. People use it as if it specified where to | |
161d7b59 | 479 | install part of GCC@. Perhaps they make this assumption because |
6ac48571 JM |
480 | installing GCC creates the directory. |

0cb98517 AO |
483 | Build shared versions of libraries, if shared libraries are supported on |
484 | the target platform. Unlike GCC 2.95.x and earlier, shared libraries | |
eea81d3e RO |
485 | are enabled by default on all platforms that support shared libraries, |
486 | except for @samp{libobjc} which is built as a static library only by | |
487 | default. | |
0cb98517 AO |
488 | |
489 | If a list of packages is given as an argument, build shared libraries | |
490 | only for the listed packages. For other packages, only static libraries | |
491 | will be built. Package names currently recognized in the GCC tree are | |
492 | @samp{libgcc} (also known as @samp{gcc}), @samp{libstdc++} (not | |
493 | @samp{libstdc++-v3}), @samp{libffi}, @samp{zlib}, @samp{boehm-gc} and | |
494 | @samp{libjava}. Note that @samp{libobjc} does not recognize itself by | |
495 | any name, so, if you list package names in @option{--enable-shared}, | |
eea81d3e | 496 | you will only get static Objective-C libraries. @samp{libf2c} and |
0cb98517 AO |
497 | @samp{libiberty} do not support shared libraries at all. |
498 | ||
499 | Use @option{--disable-shared} to build only static libraries. Note that | |
500 | @option{--disable-shared} does not accept a list of package names as | |

f42974dc | 502 | |
ef88b07d JM |
503 | @item @anchor{with-gnu-as}--with-gnu-as |
504 | Specify that the compiler should assume that the | |
767094dd | 505 | assembler it finds is the GNU assembler. However, this does not modify |
38209993 | 506 | the rules to find an assembler and will result in confusion if found |
8c26c999 JM |
507 | assembler is not actually the GNU assembler. (Confusion will also |
508 | result if the compiler finds the GNU assembler but has not been | |
509 | configured with @option{--with-gnu-as}.) If you have more than one | |
38209993 | 510 | assembler installed on your system, you may want to use this option in |
eea81d3e | 511 | connection with @option{--with-as=@var{pathname}}. |
38209993 | 512 | |
8c26c999 JM |
513 | The systems where it makes a difference whether you use the GNU assembler are |
514 | @samp{hppa1.0-@var{any}-@var{any}}, @samp{hppa1.1-@var{any}-@var{any}}, | |
515 | @samp{i386-@var{any}-sysv}, @samp{i386-@var{any}-isc}, | |

520 | and @samp{mips-@var{any}}. | |
521 | On any other system, @option{--with-gnu-as} has no effect. | |
522 | ||
523 | On the systems listed above (except for the HP-PA, for ISC on the | |
524 | 386, and for @samp{mips-sgi-irix5.*}), if you use the GNU assembler, | |
525 | you should also use the GNU linker (and specify @option{--with-gnu-ld}). | |
526 | ||
eea81d3e | 527 | @item --with-as=@var{pathname} |
ef88b07d | 528 | Specify that the |
38209993 LG |
529 | compiler should use the assembler pointed to by @var{pathname}, rather |
530 | than the one found by the standard rules to find an assembler, which | |
531 | are: | |

537 | defaults to @file{/usr/local} unless overridden by the | |
eea81d3e | 538 | @option{--prefix=@var{pathname}} switch described above. @var{target} is the |
b953cc4b | 539 | target system triple, such as @samp{sparc-sun-solaris2.7}, and |
eea81d3e | 540 | @var{version} denotes the GCC version, such as 3.0. |

ef88b07d JM |
559 | @item --with-stabs |
560 | Specify that stabs debugging | |
38209993 LG |
561 | information should be used instead of whatever format the host normally |
562 | uses. Normally GCC uses the same debug format as the host system. | |
f42974dc | 563 | |
8c26c999 JM |
564 | On MIPS based systems and on Alphas, you must specify whether you want |
565 | GCC to create the normal ECOFF debugging format, or to use BSD-style | |
566 | stabs passed through the ECOFF symbol table. The normal ECOFF debug | |
161d7b59 JM |
567 | format cannot fully handle languages other than C@. BSD stabs format can |
568 | handle other languages, but it only works with the GNU debugger GDB@. | |
8c26c999 JM |
569 | |
570 | Normally, GCC uses the ECOFF debugging format by default; if you | |
161d7b59 | 571 | prefer BSD stabs, specify @option{--with-stabs} when you configure GCC@. |
8c26c999 JM |
572 | |
573 | No matter which default you choose when you configure GCC, the user | |
574 | can use the @option{-gcoff} and @option{-gstabs+} options to specify explicitly | |
575 | the debug format for a particular compilation. | |
576 | ||
577 | @option{--with-stabs} is meaningful on the ISC system on the 386, also, if | |
578 | @option{--with-gas} is used. It selects use of stabs debugging | |
579 | information embedded in COFF output. This kind of debugging information | |
580 | supports C++ well; ordinary COFF debugging information does not. | |
581 | ||
582 | @option{--with-stabs} is also meaningful on 386 systems running SVR4. It | |
583 | selects use of stabs debugging information embedded in ELF output. The | |
584 | C++ compiler currently (2.6.0) does not support the DWARF debugging | |
585 | information normally used on 386 SVR4 platforms; stabs provide a | |
586 | workable alternative. This requires gas and gdb, as the normal SVR4 | |
587 | tools can not generate or interpret stabs. | |
588 | ||
eea81d3e | 589 | @item --disable-multilib |
ef88b07d | 590 | Specify that multiple target |
eea81d3e RO |

593 | predefined set of them. | |

623 | In general, the best (and, in many cases, the only known) threading |

769 | |
770 | @item --enable-checking | |
771 | @itemx --enable-checking=@var{list} | |
772 | When you specify this option, the compiler is built to perform checking | |
773 | of tree node types when referencing fields of that node, and some other | |
774 | internal consistency checks. This does not change the generated code, | |
775 | but adds error checking within the compiler. This will slow down the | |
776 | compiler and may only work properly if you are building the compiler | |
161d7b59 | 777 | with GCC@. This is on by default when building from CVS or snapshots, |
f85b8d1a JM |
778 | but off for releases. More control over the checks may be had by |
779 | specifying @var{list}; the categories of checks available are | |
4c76f856 JJ |
780 | @samp{misc}, @samp{tree}, @samp{gc}, @samp{rtl}, @samp{rtlflag} and |
781 | @samp{gcac}. The | |
782 | default when @var{list} is not specified is @samp{misc,tree,gc,rtlflag}; the | |
f85b8d1a JM |
783 | checks @samp{rtl} and @samp{gcac} are very expensive. |
784 | ||
785 | @item --enable-nls | |
786 | @itemx --disable-nls | |
6cfb3f16 | 787 | The @option{--enable-nls} option enables Native Language Support (NLS), |
f85b8d1a | 788 | which lets GCC output diagnostics in languages other than American |
767094dd | 789 | English. Native Language Support is enabled by default if not doing a |
161d7b59 | 790 | canadian cross build. The @option{--disable-nls} option disables NLS@. |
f85b8d1a JM |
791 | |
792 | @item --with-included-gettext | |
c771326b | 793 | If NLS is enabled, the @option{--with-included-gettext} option causes the build |

f85b8d1a JM |
795 | |
796 | @item --with-catgets | |
797 | If NLS is enabled, and if the host lacks @code{gettext} but has the | |
798 | inferior @code{catgets} interface, the GCC build procedure normally | |
799 | ignores @code{catgets} and instead uses GCC's copy of the GNU | |
6cfb3f16 | 800 | @code{gettext} library. The @option{--with-catgets} option causes the |
f85b8d1a | 801 | build procedure to use the host's @code{catgets} in this situation. |

865 | @cindex Installing GCC: Building | |
866 | ||
867 | Now that GCC is configured, you are ready to build the compiler and | |
868 | runtime libraries. | |
869 | ||
58db9d1a | 870 | We @strong{highly} recommend that GCC be built using GNU make; |
f282ffb3 | 871 | other versions may work, then again they might not. |
58db9d1a AH |
872 | GNU make is required for compiling GNAT (the Ada compiler) and the Java |
873 | runtime library. | |
f42974dc DW |
874 | |
875 | (For example, many broken versions of make will fail if you use the | |
b8df899a JM |
876 | recommended setup where @var{objdir} is different from @var{srcdir}. |
877 | Other broken versions may recompile parts of the compiler when | |
878 | installing the compiler.) | |
f42974dc | 879 | |
b8df899a | 880 | Some commands executed when making the compiler may fail (return a |
df2a54e9 | 881 | nonzero status) and be ignored by @code{make}. These failures, which |
b8df899a JM |
882 | are often due to files that were not found, are expected, and can safely |
883 | be ignored. | |
884 | ||
885 | It is normal to have compiler warnings when compiling certain files. | |
886 | Unless you are a GCC developer, you can generally ignore these warnings | |
887 | unless they cause compilation to fail. | |
888 | ||
889 | On certain old systems, defining certain environment variables such as | |
6cfb3f16 | 890 | @env{CC} can interfere with the functioning of @command{make}. |
b8df899a JM |
891 | |
892 | If you encounter seemingly strange errors when trying to build the | |
893 | compiler in a directory other than the source directory, it could be | |
894 | because you have previously configured the compiler in the source | |
895 | directory. Make sure you have done all the necessary preparations. | |
896 | ||
897 | If you build GCC on a BSD system using a directory stored in an old System | |
898 | V file system, problems may occur in running @code{fixincludes} if the | |
899 | System V file system doesn't support symbolic links. These problems | |
900 | result in a failure to fix the declaration of @code{size_t} in | |
901 | @file{sys/types.h}. If you find that @code{size_t} is a signed type and | |
902 | that type mismatches occur, this could be the cause. | |
903 | ||
161d7b59 | 904 | The solution is not to use such a directory for building GCC@. |
f42974dc | 905 | |
f85b8d1a JM |
906 | When building from CVS or snapshots, or if you modify parser sources, |
907 | you need the Bison parser generator installed. Any version 1.25 or | |
908 | later should work; older versions may also work. If you do not modify | |
909 | parser sources, releases contain the Bison-generated files and you do | |
910 | not need Bison installed to build them. | |
911 | ||
912 | When building from CVS or snapshots, or if you modify Texinfo | |
dda78254 | 913 | documentation, you need version 4.1 or later of Texinfo installed if you |
f85b8d1a JM |
914 | want Info documentation to be regenerated. Releases contain Info |
915 | documentation pre-built for the unmodified documentation in the release. | |

917 | @section Building a native compiler |
918 | ||
f9047ed3 | 919 | For a native build issue the command @samp{make bootstrap}. This |
f42974dc DW |
920 | will build the entire GCC system, which includes the following steps: |
921 | ||
922 | @itemize @bullet | |
923 | @item | |
924 | Build host tools necessary to build the compiler such as texinfo, bison, | |
925 | gperf. | |
926 | ||
927 | @item | |
928 | Build target tools for use by the compiler such as binutils (bfd, | |
eea81d3e | 929 | binutils, gas, gprof, ld, and opcodes) |
f282ffb3 | 930 | if they have been individually linked |
f42974dc DW |
931 | or moved into the top level GCC source tree before configuring. |
932 | ||
933 | @item | |
934 | Perform a 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler. | |
935 | ||
936 | @item | |
937 | Perform a comparison test of the stage2 and stage3 compilers. | |
938 | ||
939 | @item | |
940 | Build runtime libraries using the stage3 compiler from the previous step. | |
f9047ed3 | 941 | |
f42974dc DW |
942 | @end itemize |
943 | ||
38209993 LG |
944 | If you are short on disk space you might consider @samp{make |
945 | bootstrap-lean} instead. This is identical to @samp{make | |
946 | bootstrap} except that object files from the stage1 and | |
f42974dc DW |
947 | stage2 of the 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler are deleted as |
948 | soon as they are no longer needed. | |
949 | ||
950 | ||
951 | If you want to save additional space during the bootstrap and in | |
952 | the final installation as well, you can build the compiler binaries | |
38209993 LG |
953 | without debugging information with @samp{make CFLAGS='-O' LIBCFLAGS='-g |
954 | -O2' LIBCXXFLAGS='-g -O2 -fno-implicit-templates' bootstrap}. This will save | |
f42974dc DW |
955 | roughly 40% of disk space both for the bootstrap and the final installation. |
956 | (Libraries will still contain debugging information.) | |
957 | ||
eea81d3e RO |
958 | If you wish to use non-default GCC flags when compiling the stage2 and |
959 | stage3 compilers, set @code{BOOT_CFLAGS} on the command line when doing | |
f85b8d1a JM |
960 | @samp{make bootstrap}. Non-default optimization flags are less well |
961 | tested here than the default of @samp{-g -O2}, but should still work. | |
962 | In a few cases, you may find that you need to specify special flags such | |
963 | as @option{-msoft-float} here to complete the bootstrap; or, if the | |
964 | native compiler miscompiles the stage1 compiler, you may need to work | |
965 | around this, by choosing @code{BOOT_CFLAGS} to avoid the parts of the | |
966 | stage1 compiler that were miscompiled, or by using @samp{make | |
967 | bootstrap4} to increase the number of stages of bootstrap. | |
968 | ||
6cfb3f16 | 969 | If you used the flag @option{--enable-languages=@dots{}} to restrict |
f42974dc | 970 | the compilers to be built, only those you've actually enabled will be |
767094dd | 971 | built. This will of course only build those runtime libraries, for |
f42974dc | 972 | which the particular compiler has been built. Please note, |
eea81d3e | 973 | that re-defining @env{LANGUAGES} when calling @samp{make bootstrap} |
ef88b07d | 974 | @strong{does not} work anymore! |
f42974dc | 975 | |
f85b8d1a | 976 | If the comparison of stage2 and stage3 fails, this normally indicates |
eea81d3e | 977 | that the stage2 compiler has compiled GCC incorrectly, and is therefore |
f85b8d1a JM |
978 | a potentially serious bug which you should investigate and report. (On |
979 | a few systems, meaningful comparison of object files is impossible; they | |
980 | always appear ``different''. If you encounter this problem, you will | |
981 | need to disable comparison in the @file{Makefile}.) | |
f42974dc DW |
982 | |
983 | @section Building a cross compiler | |
984 | ||
985 | We recommend reading the | |
986 | @uref{http://www.objsw.com/CrossGCC/,,crossgcc FAQ} | |
987 | for information about building cross compilers. | |
988 | ||
989 | When building a cross compiler, it is not generally possible to do a | |
990 | 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler. This makes for an interesting problem | |
161d7b59 | 991 | as parts of GCC can only be built with GCC@. |
f42974dc DW |
992 | |
993 | To build a cross compiler, we first recommend building and installing a | |
994 | native compiler. You can then use the native GCC compiler to build the | |
635771af JM |
995 | cross compiler. The installed native compiler needs to be GCC version |
996 | 2.95 or later. | |
f42974dc DW |
997 | |
998 | Assuming you have already installed a native copy of GCC and configured | |
6cfb3f16 | 999 | your cross compiler, issue the command @command{make}, which performs the |
f42974dc DW |
1000 | following steps: |
1001 | ||
1002 | @itemize @bullet | |
1003 | @item | |
1004 | Build host tools necessary to build the compiler such as texinfo, bison, | |
1005 | gperf. | |
1006 | ||
1007 | @item | |
1008 | Build target tools for use by the compiler such as binutils (bfd, | |
1009 | binutils, gas, gprof, ld, and opcodes) | |
1010 | if they have been individually linked or moved into the top level GCC source | |
1011 | tree before configuring. | |
1012 | ||
1013 | @item | |
1014 | Build the compiler (single stage only). | |
1015 | ||
1016 | @item | |
1017 | Build runtime libraries using the compiler from the previous step. | |
1018 | @end itemize | |
1019 | ||
1020 | Note that if an error occurs in any step the make process will exit. | |
1021 | ||
1022 | @section Building in parallel | |
1023 | ||
38209993 LG |
1024 | If you have a multiprocessor system you can use @samp{make bootstrap |
1025 | MAKE="make -j 2" -j 2} or just @samp{make -j 2 bootstrap} | |
1026 | for GNU Make 3.79 and above instead of just @samp{make bootstrap} | |
161d7b59 | 1027 | when building GCC@. You can use a bigger number instead of two if |
f42974dc DW |
1028 | you like. In most cases, it won't help to use a number bigger than |
1029 | the number of processors in your machine. | |
1030 | ||
e23381df GB |
1031 | @section Building the Ada compiler |
1032 | ||
1033 | In order to build GNAT, the Ada compiler, you need a working GNAT | |
38e23049 JM |
1034 | compiler (GNAT version 3.13 or later, or GCC version 3.1 or later), |
1035 | since the Ada front end is written in Ada (with some | |
e23381df GB |
1036 | GNAT-specific extensions), and GNU make. |
1037 | ||
1038 | However, you do not need a full installation of GNAT, just the GNAT | |
1039 | binary @file{gnat1}, a copy of @file{gnatbind}, and a compiler driver | |
1040 | which can deal with Ada input (by invoking the @file{gnat1} binary). | |
1041 | You can specify this compiler driver by setting the @env{ADAC} | |
1042 | environment variable at the configure step. @command{configure} can | |
1043 | detect the driver automatically if it has got a common name such as | |
1044 | @command{gcc} or @command{gnatgcc}. Of course, you still need a working | |
1045 | C compiler (the compiler driver can be different or not). | |
38e23049 JM |
1046 | @command{configure} does not test whether the GNAT installation works |
1047 | and has a sufficiently recent version; if too old a GNAT version is | |
1048 | installed, the build will fail unless @option{--enable-languages} is | |
1049 | used to disable building the Ada front end. | |
e23381df GB |
1050 | |
1051 | Additional build tools (such as @command{gnatmake}) or a working GNAT | |
1052 | run-time library installation are usually @emph{not} required. However, | |
1053 | if you want to boostrap the compiler using a minimal version of GNAT, | |
1054 | you have to issue the following commands before invoking @samp{make | |
1055 | boostrap} (this assumes that you start with an unmodified and consistent | |
1056 | source distribution): | |
1057 | ||
1058 | @example | |
1059 | cd @var{srcdir}/gcc/ada | |
1060 | touch treeprs.ads [es]info.h nmake.ad[bs] | |
1061 | @end example | |
1062 | ||
1063 | At the moment, the GNAT library and several tools for GNAT are not built | |
f282ffb3 | 1064 | by @samp{make bootstrap}. You have to invoke |
e23381df GB |
1065 | @samp{make gnatlib_and_tools} in the @file{@var{objdir}/gcc} |
1066 | subdirectory before proceeding with the next steps. | |
1067 | ||
1068 | For example, you can build a native Ada compiler by issuing the | |
1069 | following commands (assuming @command{make} is GNU make): | |
1070 | ||
1071 | @example | |
1072 | cd @var{objdir} | |
f282ffb3 | 1073 | @var{srcdir}/configure --enable-languages=c,ada |
e23381df GB |
1074 | cd @var{srcdir}/gcc/ada |
1075 | touch treeprs.ads [es]info.h nmake.ad[bs] | |
f282ffb3 | 1076 | cd @var{objdir} |
e23381df GB |
1077 | make bootstrap |
1078 | cd gcc | |
1079 | make gnatlib_and_tools | |
1080 | cd .. | |
1081 | @end example | |
1082 | ||
1083 | Currently, when compiling the Ada front end, you cannot use the parallel | |
1084 | build feature described in the previous section. | |

1108 | Before you install GCC, we encourage you to run the testsuites and to |
1109 | compare your results with results from a similar configuration that have | |
1110 | been submitted to the | |
1111 | @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/,,gcc-testresults mailing list}. | |
1112 | This step is optional and may require you to download additional software, | |
1113 | but it can give you confidence in your new GCC installation or point out | |
1114 | problems before you install and start using your new GCC. | |
f42974dc | 1115 | |
f9047ed3 | 1116 | First, you must have @uref{download.html,,downloaded the testsuites}. |
f97903cc JJ |
1117 | These are part of the full distribution, but if you downloaded the |
1118 | ``core'' compiler plus any front ends, you must download the testsuites | |
1119 | separately. | |
f42974dc | 1120 | |
f97903cc JJ |
1121 | Second, you must have the testing tools installed. This includes |
1122 | a @uref{http://www.gnu.org/software/dejagnu/,,current version of DejaGnu}; | |
f42974dc | 1123 | dejagnu 1.3 is not sufficient. |

ecb7d6b3 | 1131 | The following environment variables may need to be set appropriately, as in |
f42974dc | 1132 | the following example (which assumes that DejaGnu has been installed |
6cfb3f16 | 1133 | under @file{/usr/local}): |
f42974dc DW |
1134 | |
1135 | @example | |
1136 | TCL_LIBRARY = /usr/local/share/tcl8.0 | |
1137 | DEJAGNULIBS = /usr/local/share/dejagnu | |
1138 | @end example | |
1139 | ||
1140 | On systems such as Cygwin, these paths are required to be actual | |
1141 | paths, not mounts or links; presumably this is due to some lack of | |
1142 | portability in the DejaGnu code. | |
1143 | ||
ecb7d6b3 JM |
1144 | If the directories where @command{runtest} and @command{expect} were |
1145 | installed are in the @env{PATH}, it should not be necessary to set these | |
1146 | environment variables. | |
1147 | ||
f42974dc DW |
1148 | @end itemize |
1149 | ||
1150 | Finally, you can run the testsuite (which may take a long time): | |
1151 | @example | |
ef88b07d | 1152 | cd @var{objdir}; make -k check |
f42974dc DW |
1153 | @end example |
1154 | ||
1155 | The testing process will try to test as many components in the GCC | |
2147b154 | 1156 | distribution as possible, including the C, C++, Objective-C and Fortran |
ecb7d6b3 | 1157 | compilers as well as the C++ and Java runtime libraries. |
f42974dc | 1158 | |
06809951 GP |
1159 | While running the testsuite, DejaGnu might emit messages resembling |
1160 | @samp{WARNING: Couldn't find the global config file.} or | |
1161 | @samp{WARNING: Couldn't find tool init file}. | |
1162 | These messages are harmless and do not affect the validity of the tests. | |
1163 | ||
f42974dc DW |
1164 | @section How can I run the test suite on selected tests? |
1165 | ||
1166 | As a first possibility to cut down the number of tests that are run it is | |
38209993 | 1167 | possible to use @samp{make check-gcc} or @samp{make check-g++} |
eea81d3e | 1168 | in the @file{gcc} subdirectory of the object directory. To further cut down the |
f42974dc DW |
1169 | tests the following is possible: |
1170 | ||
1171 | @example | |
6cfb3f16 | 1172 | make check-gcc RUNTESTFLAGS="execute.exp @var{other-options}" |
f42974dc DW |
1173 | @end example |
1174 | ||
eea81d3e | 1175 | This will run all @command{gcc} execute tests in the testsuite. |
f42974dc DW |
1176 | |
1177 | @example | |
6cfb3f16 | 1178 | make check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="old-deja.exp=9805* @var{other-options}" |
f42974dc DW |
1179 | @end example |
1180 | ||
eea81d3e | 1181 | This will run the @command{g++} ``old-deja'' tests in the testsuite where the filename |
6cfb3f16 | 1182 | matches @samp{9805*}. |
f42974dc | 1183 | |
6cfb3f16 JM |
1184 | The @file{*.exp} files are located in the testsuite directories of the GCC |
1185 | source, the most important ones being @file{compile.exp}, | |
1186 | @file{execute.exp}, @file{dg.exp} and @file{old-deja.exp}. | |
1187 | To get a list of the possible @file{*.exp} files, pipe the | |
38209993 | 1188 | output of @samp{make check} into a file and look at the |
6cfb3f16 | 1189 | @samp{Running @dots{} .exp} lines. |
f42974dc DW |
1190 | |
1191 | @section How to interpret test results | |
1192 | ||
6cfb3f16 | 1193 | After the testsuite has run you'll find various @file{*.sum} and @file{*.log} |
767094dd | 1194 | files in the testsuite subdirectories. The @file{*.log} files contain a |
f42974dc | 1195 | detailed log of the compiler invocations and the corresponding |
767094dd | 1196 | results, the @file{*.sum} files summarize the results. These summaries list |
f42974dc DW |
1197 | all the tests that have been run with a corresponding status code: |
1198 | ||
1199 | @itemize @bullet | |
1200 | @item | |
1201 | PASS: the test passed as expected | |

1222 | @section Submitting test results | |
1223 | ||
1224 | If you want to report the results to the GCC project, use the | |
767094dd | 1225 | @file{contrib/test_summary} shell script. Start it in the @var{objdir} with |
f42974dc DW |
1226 | |
1227 | @example | |
6cfb3f16 JM |
1228 | @var{srcdir}/contrib/test_summary -p your_commentary.txt \ |
1229 | -m gcc-testresults@@gcc.gnu.org |sh | |
f42974dc DW |
1230 | @end example |
1231 | ||
6cfb3f16 | 1232 | This script uses the @command{Mail} program to send the results, so |
767094dd | 1233 | make sure it is in your @env{PATH}. The file @file{your_commentary.txt} is |
f42974dc | 1234 | prepended to the testsuite summary and should contain any special |
767094dd | 1235 | remarks you have on your results or your build environment. Please |
f42974dc | 1236 | do not edit the testsuite result block or the subject line, as these |
f9047ed3 | 1237 | messages are automatically parsed and presented at the |
f42974dc DW |
1238 | @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/testresults/,,GCC testresults} web |
1239 | page. Here you can also gather information on how specific tests | |
767094dd | 1240 | behave on different platforms and compare them with your results. A |
f42974dc DW |
1241 | few failing testcases are possible even on released versions and you |
1242 | should look here first if you think your results are unreasonable. | |

1263 | Now that GCC has been built (and optionally tested), you can install it with |

1266 | @end example | |
f42974dc | 1267 | |

1268 | We strongly recommend to install into a target directory where there is |
1269 | no previous version of GCC present. | |
1270 | ||
f42974dc | 1271 | That step completes the installation of GCC; user level binaries can |
38209993 LG |
1272 | be found in @file{@var{prefix}/bin} where @var{prefix} is the value you |
1273 | specified with the @option{--prefix} to configure (or @file{/usr/local} | |
ab130aa5 JM |
1274 | by default). (If you specified @option{--bindir}, that directory will |
1275 | be used instead; otherwise, if you specified @option{--exec-prefix}, | |
1276 | @file{@var{exec-prefix}/bin} will be used.) Headers for the C++ and | |
1277 | Java libraries are installed in @file{@var{prefix}/include}; libraries | |
1278 | in @file{@var{libdir}} (normally @file{@var{prefix}/lib}); internal | |
1279 | parts of the compiler in @file{@var{libdir}/gcc-lib}; documentation in | |

b8df899a | 1657 | Systems using processors that implement the DEC Alpha architecture and |
f2541106 RO |
1658 | are running the DEC/Compaq Unix (DEC OSF/1, Digital UNIX, or Compaq |
1659 | Tru64 UNIX) operating system, for example the DEC Alpha AXP systems. | |
1660 | ||
c7bdf0a6 ZW |
1661 | As of GCC 3.2, versions before @code{alpha*-dec-osf4} are no longer |
1662 | supported. (These are the versions which identify themselves as DEC | |
1663 | OSF/1.) | |
9340544b | 1664 | |
f2541106 RO |
1665 | In Tru64 UNIX V5.1, Compaq introduced a new assembler that does not |
1666 | currently (2001-06-13) work with @command{mips-tfile}. As a workaround, | |
1667 | we need to use the old assembler, invoked via the barely documented | |
1668 | @option{-oldas} option. To bootstrap GCC, you either need to use the | |
1669 | Compaq C Compiler: | |
1670 | ||
1671 | @example | |
eea81d3e | 1672 | % CC=cc @var{srcdir}/configure [@var{options}] [@var{target}] |
f2541106 RO |
1673 | @end example |
1674 | ||
1675 | or you can use a copy of GCC 2.95.3 or higher built on Tru64 UNIX V4.0: | |
1676 | ||
1677 | @example | |
eea81d3e | 1678 | % CC=gcc -Wa,-oldas @var{srcdir}/configure [@var{options}] [@var{target}] |
f2541106 | 1679 | @end example |
b8df899a | 1680 | |
b953cc4b RO |
1681 | As of GNU binutils 2.11.2, neither GNU @command{as} nor GNU @command{ld} |
1682 | are supported on Tru64 UNIX, so you must not configure GCC with | |
1683 | @option{--with-gnu-as} or @option{--with-gnu-ld}. | |
1684 | ||
1685 | The @option{--enable-threads} options isn't supported yet. A patch is | |
18b467f1 | 1686 | in preparation for a future release. |
b953cc4b | 1687 | |
f0523f02 | 1688 | GCC writes a @samp{.verstamp} directive to the assembler output file |
b8df899a JM |
1689 | unless it is built as a cross-compiler. It gets the version to use from |
1690 | the system header file @file{/usr/include/stamp.h}. If you install a | |
1691 | new version of DEC Unix, you should rebuild GCC to pick up the new version | |
1692 | stamp. | |
1693 | ||
1694 | Note that since the Alpha is a 64-bit architecture, cross-compilers from | |
1695 | 32-bit machines will not generate code as efficient as that generated | |
1696 | when the compiler is running on a 64-bit machine because many | |
1697 | optimizations that depend on being able to represent a word on the | |
1698 | target in an integral value on the host cannot be performed. Building | |
1699 | cross-compilers on the Alpha for 32-bit machines has only been tested in | |
1700 | a few cases and may not work properly. | |
1701 | ||
1702 | @code{make compare} may fail on old versions of DEC Unix unless you add | |
6cfb3f16 | 1703 | @option{-save-temps} to @code{CFLAGS}. On these systems, the name of the |
b8df899a JM |
1704 | assembler input file is stored in the object file, and that makes |
1705 | comparison fail if it differs between the @code{stage1} and | |
6cfb3f16 | 1706 | @code{stage2} compilations. The option @option{-save-temps} forces a |
b8df899a | 1707 | fixed name to be used for the assembler input file, instead of a |
6cfb3f16 | 1708 | randomly chosen name in @file{/tmp}. Do not add @option{-save-temps} |
b8df899a | 1709 | unless the comparisons fail without that option. If you add |
6cfb3f16 | 1710 | @option{-save-temps}, you will have to manually delete the @samp{.i} and |
b8df899a JM |
1711 | @samp{.s} files after each series of compilations. |
1712 | ||
f0523f02 | 1713 | GCC now supports both the native (ECOFF) debugging format used by DBX |
161d7b59 | 1714 | and GDB and an encapsulated STABS format for use only with GDB@. See the |
6cfb3f16 | 1715 | discussion of the @option{--with-stabs} option of @file{configure} above |
b8df899a JM |
1716 | for more information on these formats and how to select them. |
1717 | ||
1718 | There is a bug in DEC's assembler that produces incorrect line numbers | |
1719 | for ECOFF format when the @samp{.align} directive is used. To work | |
f0523f02 | 1720 | around this problem, GCC will not emit such alignment directives |
b8df899a JM |
1721 | while writing ECOFF format debugging information even if optimization is |
1722 | being performed. Unfortunately, this has the very undesirable | |
6cfb3f16 JM |
1723 | side-effect that code addresses when @option{-O} is specified are |
1724 | different depending on whether or not @option{-g} is also specified. | |
b8df899a | 1725 | |
6cfb3f16 | 1726 | To avoid this behavior, specify @option{-gstabs+} and use GDB instead of |
161d7b59 | 1727 | DBX@. DEC is now aware of this problem with the assembler and hopes to |
b8df899a JM |
1728 | provide a fix shortly. |

1735 | Cray T3E systems running Unicos/Mk. | |
1736 | ||
1737 | This port is incomplete and has many known bugs. We hope to improve the | |
1738 | support for this target soon. Currently, only the C front end is supported, | |
1739 | and it is not possible to build parallel applications. Cray modules are not | |
1740 | supported; in particular, Craylibs are assumed to be in | |
1741 | @file{/opt/ctl/craylibs/craylibs}. | |
1742 | ||
1743 | You absolutely @strong{must} use GNU make on this platform. Also, you | |
1744 | need to tell GCC where to find the assembler and the linker. The | |
1745 | simplest way to do so is by providing @option{--with-as} and | |
1746 | @option{--with-ld} to @file{configure}, e.g.@: | |
1747 | ||
068e5714 | 1748 | @samp{configure --with-as=/opt/ctl/bin/cam --with-ld=/opt/ctl/bin/cld |
71b96724 RL |
1749 | --enable-languages=c} |
1750 | ||
1751 | The comparison test during @samp{make bootstrap} fails on Unicos/Mk | |
1752 | because the assembler inserts timestamps into object files. You should | |
1753 | be able to work around this by doing @samp{make all} after getting this | |
1754 | failure. | |

1930 | FreeBSD 1 is no longer supported in GCC 3.2. |
1931 | ||
1932 | For FreeBSD 2 or any mutant a.out versions of FreeBSD 3: All | |
021c4bfd RO |
1933 | configuration support and files as shipped with GCC 2.95 are still in |
1934 | place. FreeBSD 2.2.7 has been known to bootstrap completely; however, | |
1935 | it is unknown which version of binutils was used (it is assumed that it | |
1936 | was the system copy in @file{/usr/bin}) and C++ EH failures were noted. | |
1937 | ||
1938 | For FreeBSD using the ELF file format: DWARF 2 debugging is now the | |
1939 | default for all CPU architectures. It had been the default on | |
1940 | FreeBSD/alpha since its inception. You may use @option{-gstabs} instead | |
1941 | of @option{-g}, if you really want the old debugging format. There are | |
1942 | no known issues with mixing object files and libraries with different | |
1943 | debugging formats. Otherwise, this release of GCC should now match more | |
1944 | of the configuration used in the stock FreeBSD configuration of GCC. In | |
1945 | particular, @option{--enable-threads} is now configured by default. | |
1946 | However, as a general user, do not attempt to replace the system | |
1947 | compiler with this release. Known to bootstrap and check with good | |
46fc709d LR |
1948 | results on FreeBSD 3.0, 3.4, 4.0, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5-STABLE and 5-CURRENT@. |
1949 | ||
1950 | In principle, @option{--enable-threads} is now compatible with | |
1951 | @option{--enable-libgcj} on FreeBSD@. However, it has only been built | |
6b976d99 LR |
1952 | and tested on i386-*-freebsd4.5 and alpha-*-freebsd5.0. The static |
1953 | library may be incorrectly built (symbols are missing at link time). | |
1954 | There is a rare timing-based startup hang (probably involves an | |
1955 | assupmtion about the thread library). Multi-threaded boehm-gc (required for | |
46fc709d LR |
1956 | libjava) exposes severe threaded signal-handling bugs on FreeBSD before |
1957 | 4.5-RELEASE. The alpha port may not fully bootstrap without some manual | |
1958 | intervention: gcjh will crash with a floating-point exception while | |
1959 | generating @file{java/lang/Double.h} (just copy the version built on | |
1960 | i386-*-freebsd* and rerun the top-level gmake with no arguments and it | |
1961 | should properly complete the bootstrap). Other CPU architectures | |
1962 | supported by FreeBSD will require additional configuration tuning in, at | |
1963 | the very least, both boehm-gc and libffi. | |

1990 | ||
1991 | Specifically, @option{-g} does not work on HP-UX (since that system | |

2001 | There are two default scheduling models for instructions. These are |
2002 | PROCESSOR_7100LC and PROCESSOR_8000. They are selected from the pa-risc | |
2003 | architecture specified for the target machine when configuring. | |
2004 | PROCESSOR_8000 is the default. PROCESSOR_7100LC is selected when | |
2005 | the target is a @samp{hppa1*} machine. | |
806bf413 JDA |
2006 | |
2007 | The PROCESSOR_8000 model is not well suited to older processors. Thus, | |
2008 | it is important to completely specify the machine architecture when | |
2009 | configuring if you want a model other than PROCESSOR_8000. The macro | |

2021 | The HP assembler has major problems on this platform. We've tried to work | |
2022 | around the worst of the problems. However, those workarounds may be causing | |
2023 | linker crashes in some circumstances; the workarounds also probably prevent | |
2024 | shared libraries from working. Use the GNU assembler to avoid these problems. | |

2158 | Unlike earlier versions of GCC, the ability to generate COFF with this | |
2159 | target is no longer provided. | |
2160 | ||
021c4bfd | 2161 | Earlier versions of GCC emitted DWARF 1 when generating ELF to allow |
f42974dc | 2162 | the system debugger to be used. That support was too burdensome to |
021c4bfd | 2163 | maintain. GCC now emits only DWARF 2 for this target. This means you |
f42974dc | 2164 | may use either the UDK debugger or GDB to debug programs built by this |
161d7b59 | 2165 | version of GCC@. |
f42974dc | 2166 | |
021c4bfd | 2167 | Use of the @option{-march=pentiumpro} flag can result in |
f42974dc | 2168 | unrecognized opcodes when using the native assembler on OS versions before |
767094dd | 2169 | 5.0.6. (Support for P6 opcodes was added to the native ELF assembler in |
f9047ed3 | 2170 | that version.) While it's rather rare to see these emitted by GCC yet, |
f42974dc DW |
2171 | errors of the basic form: |
2172 | ||
2173 | @example | |
2174 | /usr/tmp/ccaNlqBc.s:22:unknown instruction: fcomip | |
2175 | /usr/tmp/ccaNlqBc.s:50:unknown instruction: fucomip | |
2176 | @end example | |
2177 | ||
2178 | are symptoms of this problem. You may work around this by not | |
2179 | building affected files with that flag, by using the GNU assembler, or | |
161d7b59 | 2180 | by using the assembler provided with the current version of the OS@. |
f42974dc DW |
2181 | Users of GNU assembler should see the note below for hazards on doing |
2182 | so. | |
2183 | ||
2184 | The native SCO assembler that is provided with the OS at no | |
2185 | charge is normally required. If, however, you must be able to use | |
2186 | the GNU assembler (perhaps you're compiling code with asms that | |
2187 | require GAS syntax) you may configure this package using the flags | |
38209993 LG |
2188 | @uref{./configure.html#with-gnu-as,,@option{--with-gnu-as}}. You must |
2189 | use a recent version of GNU binutils; versions past 2.9.1 seem to work | |
2190 | well. | |
f42974dc DW |
2191 | |
2192 | In general, the @option{--with-gnu-as} option isn't as well tested | |
2193 | as the native assembler. | |
2194 | ||
6cfb3f16 | 2195 | Look in @file{gcc/config/i386/sco5.h} (search for ``messy'') for |
f42974dc DW |
2196 | additional OpenServer-specific flags. |

38209993 | 2198 | Systems based on OpenServer before 5.0.4 (@samp{uname -X} |

f42974dc DW |
2201 | for C++ constructors and destructors to work right. |
2202 | ||
2203 | The system linker in (at least) 5.0.4 and 5.0.5 will sometimes | |
2204 | do the wrong thing for a construct that GCC will emit for PIC | |
2205 | code. This can be seen as execution testsuite failures when using | |
6cfb3f16 | 2206 | @option{-fPIC} on @file{921215-1.c}, @file{931002-1.c}, @file{nestfunc-1.c}, and @file{gcov-1.c}. |
f42974dc | 2207 | For 5.0.5, an updated linker that will cure this problem is |
f9047ed3 | 2208 | available. You must install both |
38209993 | 2209 | @uref{ftp://ftp.sco.com/Supplements/rs505a/,,ftp://ftp.sco.com/Supplements/rs505a/} |
f42974dc DW |
2210 | and @uref{ftp://ftp.sco.com/SLS/,,OSS499A}. |
2211 | ||
2212 | The dynamic linker in OpenServer 5.0.5 (earlier versions may show | |
021c4bfd | 2213 | the same problem) aborts on certain G77-compiled programs. It's particularly |

f42974dc DW |
2237 | but is meant to be used when hosting on a system where UDK isn't the |

2242 | This target is a little tricky to build because we have to distinguish |
2243 | it from the native tools (so it gets headers, startups, and libraries | |
f9047ed3 | 2244 | from the right place) while making the tools not think we're actually |
f42974dc DW |
2245 | building a cross compiler. The easiest way to do this is with a configure |
2246 | command like this: | |
2247 | ||
f9047ed3 | 2248 | @samp{CC=/udk/usr/ccs/bin/cc @var{/your/path/to}/gcc/configure |

f42974dc DW |
2252 | processor for your host.} |
2253 | ||
021c4bfd RO |
2254 | After the usual @samp{make bootstrap} and |

38209993 LG |
2256 | tools by adding @command{udk-} before the commonly known name. For |
2257 | example, to invoke the C compiler, you would use @command{udk-gcc}. | |
2258 | They will coexist peacefully with any native-target GCC tools you may | |

2306 | AIX Make frequently has problems with GCC makefiles. GNU Make 3.76 or | |
2307 | newer is recommended to build on this platform. | |
2308 | ||
6cfb3f16 | 2309 | Errors involving @code{alloca} when building GCC generally are due |
021c4bfd | 2310 | to an incorrect definition of @code{CC} in the Makefile or mixing files |
161d7b59 | 2311 | compiled with the native C compiler and GCC@. During the stage1 phase of |
6cfb3f16 JM |
2312 | the build, the native AIX compiler @strong{must} be invoked as @command{cc} |
2313 | (not @command{xlc}). Once @command{configure} has been informed of | |
2314 | @command{xlc}, one needs to use @samp{make distclean} to remove the | |
38209993 | 2315 | configure cache files and ensure that @env{CC} environment variable |

2442 | The Unos assembler is named @code{casm} instead of @code{as}. For some | |
2443 | strange reason linking @file{/bin/as} to @file{/bin/casm} changes the | |

b8df899a JM |
2445 | install the following script as @file{as} in the subdirectory where |
2446 | the passes of GCC are installed: | |
2447 | ||
2448 | @example | |
2449 | #!/bin/sh | |

2452 | ||
2453 | The default Unos library is named @file{libunos.a} instead of | |
f0523f02 | 2454 | @file{libc.a}. To allow GCC to function, either change all |
6cfb3f16 | 2455 | references to @option{-lc} in @file{gcc.c} to @option{-lunos} or link |
b8df899a JM |
2456 | @file{/lib/libc.a} to @file{/lib/libunos.a}. |
2457 | ||
2458 | @cindex @code{alloca}, for Unos | |
f0523f02 | 2459 | When compiling GCC with the standard compiler, to overcome bugs in |
6cfb3f16 JM |
2460 | the support of @code{alloca}, do not use @option{-O} when making stage 2. |
2461 | Then use the stage 2 compiler with @option{-O} to make the stage 3 | |
b8df899a JM |
2462 | compiler. This compiler will have the same characteristics as the usual |
2463 | stage 2 compiler on other systems. Use it to make a stage 4 compiler | |
2464 | and compare that with stage 3 to verify proper compilation. | |
2465 | ||
2466 | (Perhaps simply defining @code{ALLOCA} in @file{x-crds} as described in | |
2467 | the comments there will make the above paragraph superfluous. Please | |
2468 | inform us of whether this works.) | |
2469 | ||
2470 | Unos uses memory segmentation instead of demand paging, so you will need | |
2471 | a lot of memory. 5 Mb is barely enough if no other tasks are running. | |
2472 | If linking @file{cc1} fails, try putting the object files into a library | |
2473 | and linking from that library. | |

2497 | @quotation | |
2498 | This is the patched assembler, to patch SR#1653-010439, where the | |
2499 | assembler aborts on floating point constants. | |
2500 | ||
2501 | The bug is not really in the assembler, but in the shared library | |
2502 | version of the function ``cvtnum(3c)''. The bug on ``cvtnum(3c)'' is | |
2503 | SR#4701-078451. Anyway, the attached assembler uses the archive | |
2504 | library version of ``cvtnum(3c)'' and thus does not exhibit the bug. | |

021c4bfd | 2509 | In addition, if you wish to use gas, you must use |
b8df899a JM |
2510 | gas version 2.1 or later, and you must use the GNU linker version 2.1 or |
2511 | later. Earlier versions of gas relied upon a program which converted the | |
2512 | gas output into the native HP-UX format, but that program has not been | |
2513 | kept up to date. gdb does not understand that native HP-UX format, so | |
2514 | you must use gas if you wish to use gdb. | |
2515 | ||
2516 | On HP-UX version 8.05, but not on 8.07 or more recent versions, the | |
2517 | @code{fixproto} shell script triggers a bug in the system shell. If you | |
2518 | encounter this problem, upgrade your operating system or use BASH (the | |
2519 | GNU shell) to run @code{fixproto}. This bug will cause the fixproto | |
2520 | program to report an error of the form: | |

2522 | @example | |
2523 | ./fixproto: sh internal 1K buffer overflow | |

2525 | ||

2574 | If on a MIPS system you get an error message saying ``does not have gp |
2575 | sections for all it's [sic] sectons [sic]'', don't worry about it. This | |
2576 | happens whenever you use GAS with the MIPS linker, but there is not | |
2577 | really anything wrong, and it is okay to use the output file. You can | |
2578 | stop such warnings by installing the GNU linker. | |
2579 | ||
2580 | It would be nice to extend GAS to produce the gp tables, but they are | |
2581 | optional, and there should not be a warning about their absence. | |

2588 | In order to compile GCC on an SGI running IRIX 5, the ``compiler_dev.hdr'' |
2589 | subsystem must be installed from the IDO CD-ROM supplied by Silicon | |
2590 | Graphics. It is also available for download from | |
2591 | @uref{http://www.sgi.com/developers/devtools/apis/ido.html,,http://www.sgi.com/developers/devtools/apis/ido.html}. | |

2593 | @code{make compare} may fail on version 5 of IRIX unless you add |
2594 | @option{-save-temps} to @code{CFLAGS}. On these systems, the name of the | |
2595 | assembler input file is stored in the object file, and that makes | |
2596 | comparison fail if it differs between the @code{stage1} and | |
2597 | @code{stage2} compilations. The option @option{-save-temps} forces a | |
2598 | fixed name to be used for the assembler input file, instead of a | |
2599 | randomly chosen name in @file{/tmp}. Do not add @option{-save-temps} | |
2600 | unless the comparisons fail without that option. If you do you | |
2601 | @option{-save-temps}, you will have to manually delete the @samp{.i} and | |
2602 | @samp{.s} files after each series of compilations. | |
f42974dc | 2603 | |
213ba345 RO |
2604 | If you use the MIPS C compiler to bootstrap, it may be necessary |
2605 | to increase its table size for switch statements with the | |
2606 | @option{-Wf,-XNg1500} option. If you use the @option{-O2} | |
2607 | optimization option, you also need to use @option{-Olimit 3000}. | |
f42974dc | 2608 | |
b953cc4b | 2609 | To enable debugging under IRIX 5, you must use GNU @command{as} 2.11.2 |
f282ffb3 | 2610 | or later, |
213ba345 RO |
2611 | and use the @option{--with-gnu-as} configure option when configuring GCC. |
2612 | GNU @command{as} is distributed as part of the binutils package. | |
f282ffb3 | 2613 | When using release 2.11.2, you need to apply a patch |
b953cc4b RO |
2614 | @uref{http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2001-07/msg00352.html,,http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2001-07/msg00352.html} |
2615 | which will be included in the next release of binutils. | |
f42974dc | 2616 | |
213ba345 RO |
2617 | When building GCC, the build process loops rebuilding @command{cc1} over |
2618 | and over again. This happens on @samp{mips-sgi-irix5.2}, and possibly | |
2619 | other platforms. It has been reported that this is a known bug in the | |
2620 | @command{make} shipped with IRIX 5.2. We recommend you use GNU | |
2621 | @command{make} instead of the vendor supplied @command{make} program; | |
2622 | however, you may have success with @command{smake} on IRIX 5.2 if you do | |
2623 | not have GNU @command{make} available. | |

213ba345 | 2631 | If you are using IRIX @command{cc} as your bootstrap compiler, you must |
f42974dc DW |
2632 | ensure that the N32 ABI is in use. To test this, compile a simple C |
2633 | file with @command{cc} and then run @command{file} on the | |
2634 | resulting object file. The output should look like: | |
2635 | ||
2636 | @example | |
213ba345 | 2637 | test.o: ELF N32 MSB @dots{} |
f42974dc DW |
2638 | @end example |
2639 | ||
2640 | If you see: | |
213ba345 RO |
2641 | |
2642 | @example | |
2643 | test.o: ELF 32-bit MSB @dots{} | |

2646 | or | |
2647 | ||
f42974dc | 2648 | @example |
213ba345 | 2649 | test.o: ELF 64-bit MSB @dots{} |
f42974dc DW |
2650 | @end example |
2651 | ||
213ba345 | 2652 | then your version of @command{cc} uses the O32 or N64 ABI by default. You |
38209993 | 2653 | should set the environment variable @env{CC} to @samp{cc -n32} |
161d7b59 | 2654 | before configuring GCC@. |
f42974dc | 2655 | |
0fca60ab RO |
2656 | If you want the resulting @command{gcc} to run on old 32-bit systems |
2657 | with the MIPS R4400 CPU, you need to ensure that only code for the mips3 | |
2658 | instruction set architecture (ISA) is generated. While GCC 3.x does | |
2659 | this correctly, both GCC 2.95 and SGI's MIPSpro @command{cc} may change | |
2660 | the ISA depending on the machine where GCC is built. Using one of them | |
2661 | as the bootstrap compiler may result in mips4 code, which won't run at | |
2662 | all on mips3-only systems. For the test program above, you should see: | |
2663 | ||
2664 | @example | |
2665 | test.o: ELF N32 MSB mips-3 @dots{} | |
2666 | @end example | |
2667 | ||
2668 | If you get: | |
2669 | ||
2670 | @example | |
2671 | test.o: ELF N32 MSB mips-4 @dots{} | |
2672 | @end example | |
2673 | ||
2674 | instead, you should set the environment variable @env{CC} to @samp{cc | |
2675 | -n32 -mips3} or @samp{gcc -mips3} respectively before configuring GCC@. | |
2676 | ||
213ba345 RO |
2677 | GCC on IRIX 6 is usually built to support both the N32 and N64 ABIs. If |
2678 | you build GCC on a system that doesn't have the N64 libraries installed, | |
2679 | you need to configure with @option{--disable-multilib} so GCC doesn't | |
2680 | try to use them. Look for @file{/usr/lib64/libc.so.1} to see if you | |
2681 | have the 64-bit libraries installed. | |
2682 | ||
2683 | You must @emph{not} use GNU @command{as} (which isn't built anyway as of | |
2684 | binutils 2.11.2) on IRIX 6 platforms; doing so will only cause problems. | |
2685 | ||
f42974dc | 2686 | GCC does not currently support generating O32 ABI binaries in the |
b953cc4b | 2687 | @samp{mips-sgi-irix6} configurations. It is possible to create a GCC |
213ba345 | 2688 | with O32 ABI only support by configuring it for the @samp{mips-sgi-irix5} |
b953cc4b RO |
2689 | target and using a patched GNU @command{as} 2.11.2 as documented in the |
2690 | @uref{#mips-sgi-irix5,,@samp{mips-sgi-irix5}} section above. Using the | |
2691 | native assembler requires patches to GCC which will be included in a | |
2692 | future release. It is | |
213ba345 | 2693 | expected that O32 ABI support will be available again in a future release. |
f42974dc | 2694 | |
b953cc4b RO |
2695 | The @option{--enable-threads} option doesn't currently work, a patch is |
2696 | in preparation for a future release. The @option{--enable-libgcj} | |
2697 | option is disabled by default: IRIX 6 uses a very low default limit | |
2698 | (20480) for the command line length. Although libtool contains a | |
2699 | workaround for this problem, at least the N64 @samp{libgcj} is known not | |
2700 | to build despite this, running into an internal error of the native | |
2701 | @command{ld}. A sure fix is to increase this limit (@samp{ncargs}) to | |
2702 | its maximum of 262144 bytes. If you have root access, you can use the | |
2703 | @command{systune} command to do this. | |
2704 | ||
f42974dc | 2705 | GCC does not correctly pass/return structures which are |
767094dd JM |
2706 | smaller than 16 bytes and which are not 8 bytes. The problem is very |
2707 | involved and difficult to fix. It affects a number of other targets also, | |
57694e40 | 2708 | but IRIX 6 is affected the most, because it is a 64-bit target, and 4 byte |
767094dd | 2709 | structures are common. The exact problem is that structures are being padded |
e979f9e8 | 2710 | at the wrong end, e.g.@: a 4 byte structure is loaded into the lower 4 bytes |
f42974dc DW |
2711 | of the register when it should be loaded into the upper 4 bytes of the |
2712 | register. | |
2713 | ||
2714 | GCC is consistent with itself, but not consistent with the SGI C compiler | |
2715 | (and the SGI supplied runtime libraries), so the only failures that can | |
2716 | happen are when there are library functions that take/return such | |
213ba345 RO |
2717 | structures. There are very few such library functions. Currently this |
2718 | is known to affect @code{inet_ntoa}, @code{inet_lnaof}, | |
46d2e8d7 RO |
2719 | @code{inet_netof}, @code{inet_makeaddr}, and @code{semctl}. Until the |
2720 | bug is fixed, GCC contains workarounds for the known affected functions. | |

2739 | PowerPC running Darwin (Mac OS X kernel). | |
2740 | ||
2741 | GCC 3.0 does not support Darwin, but 3.1 and later releases will work. | |
2742 | ||
2743 | Pre-installed versions of Mac OS X may not include any developer tools, | |
2744 | meaning that you will not be able to build GCC from source. Tool | |
2745 | binaries are available at | |
2746 | @uref{http://www.opensource.apple.com/projects/darwin} (free | |
2747 | registration required). | |
2748 | ||
2749 | Versions of the assembler prior to ``cctools-364'' cannot handle the | |
2750 | 4-argument form of rlwinm and related mask-using instructions. Darwin | |
2751 | 1.3 (Mac OS X 10.0) uses cctools-353 for instance. To get cctools-364, | |
2752 | check out @file{cctools} with tag @samp{Apple-364}, build it, and | |
2753 | install the assembler as @file{usr/bin/as}. See | |
2754 | @uref{http://www.opensource.apple.com/tools/cvs/docs.html} for details. | |
2755 | ||
2756 | Also, the default stack limit of 512K is too small, and a bootstrap will | |
2757 | typically fail when self-compiling @file{expr.c}. Set the stack to 800K | |
2758 | or more, for instance by doing @samp{limit stack 800}. It's also | |
2759 | convenient to use the GNU preprocessor instead of Apple's during the | |
2760 | first stage of bootstrapping; this is automatic when doing @samp{make | |
2761 | bootstrap}, but to do it from the toplevel objdir you will need to say | |
2762 | @samp{make CC='cc -no-cpp-precomp' bootstrap}. | |
2763 | ||
2764 | Note that the version of GCC shipped by Apple typically includes a | |
2765 | number of extensions not available in a standard GCC release. These | |
2766 | extensions are generally specific to Mac programming. | |

2920 | When GCC is configured to use binutils 2.11.2 or later the binaries |
2921 | produced are smaller than the ones produced using Sun's native tools; | |
2922 | this difference is quite significant for binaries containing debugging | |
2923 | information. | |

250d5688 | 2925 | Sun @command{as} 4.x is broken in that it cannot cope with long symbol names. |

2928 | @samp{/usr/ccs/bin/as: "/var/tmp/ccMsw135.s", line 11041: | |

2931 | This is Sun bug 4237974. This is fixed with patch 108908-02 for Solaris |
2932 | 2.6 and has been fixed in later (5.x) versions of the assembler, | |
2933 | starting with Solaris 7. | |
dbd210ef | 2934 | |
03b272d2 | 2935 | Starting with Solaris 7, the operating system is capable of executing |
975c6e4e RO |
2936 | 64-bit SPARC V9 binaries. GCC 3.1 and later properly supports |
2937 | this; the @option{-m64} option enables 64-bit code generation. | |
2938 | However, if all you want is code tuned for the UltraSPARC CPU, you | |
2939 | should try the @option{-mtune=ultrasparc} option instead, which produces | |
2940 | code that, unlike full 64-bit code, can still run on non-UltraSPARC | |
edf1c8df | 2941 | machines. |
03b272d2 | 2942 | |
975c6e4e | 2943 | When configuring on a Solaris 7 or later system that is running a kernel |
8947df0c RH |
2944 | that supports only 32-bit binaries, one must configure with |
2945 | @option{--disable-multilib}, since we will not be able to build the | |
2946 | 64-bit target libraries. | |

250d5688 | 2954 | Sun patch 107058-01 (1999-01-13) for Solaris 7/SPARC triggers a bug in |
f42974dc DW |
2955 | the dynamic linker. This problem (Sun bug 4210064) affects GCC 2.8 |
2956 | and later, including all EGCS releases. Sun formerly recommended | |
2957 | 107058-01 for all Solaris 7 users, but around 1999-09-01 it started to | |
2958 | recommend it only for people who use Sun's compilers. | |

2960 | Here are some workarounds to this problem: |
2961 | @itemize @bullet | |
2962 | @item | |
2963 | Do not install Sun patch 107058-01 until after Sun releases a | |
2964 | complete patch for bug 4210064. This is the simplest course to take, | |
2965 | unless you must also use Sun's C compiler. Unfortunately 107058-01 | |
250d5688 | 2966 | is preinstalled on some new Solaris 7-based hosts, so you may have to |
f42974dc | 2967 | back it out. |
f9047ed3 | 2968 | |
f42974dc DW |
2969 | @item |
2970 | Copy the original, unpatched Solaris 7 | |
2971 | @command{/usr/ccs/bin/as} into | |
975c6e4e | 2972 | @command{/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/3.1/as}, |
f42974dc DW |
2973 | adjusting the latter name to fit your local conventions and software |
2974 | version numbers. | |
2975 | ||
2976 | @item | |
2977 | Install Sun patch 106950-03 (1999-05-25) or later. Nobody with | |
2978 | both 107058-01 and 106950-03 installed has reported the bug with GCC | |
2979 | and Sun's dynamic linker. This last course of action is riskiest, | |
2980 | for two reasons. First, you must install 106950 on all hosts that | |
2981 | run code generated by GCC; it doesn't suffice to install it only on | |
2982 | the hosts that run GCC itself. Second, Sun says that 106950-03 is | |
2983 | only a partial fix for bug 4210064, but Sun doesn't know whether the | |
161d7b59 | 2984 | partial fix is adequate for GCC@. Revision -08 or later should fix |
250d5688 | 2985 | the bug. The current (as of 2001-09-24) revision is -14, and is included in |
f282ffb3 | 2986 | the Solaris 7 Recommended Patch Cluster. |

f9047ed3 JM |
3166 | |
3167 | GCC contains support files for many older (1980s and early | |
3168 | 1990s) Unix variants. For the most part, support for these systems | |
3169 | has not been deliberately removed, but it has not been maintained for | |
c7bdf0a6 | 3170 | several years and may suffer from bitrot. |
f9047ed3 | 3171 | |
c7bdf0a6 | 3172 | Starting with GCC 3.1, each release has a list of ``obsoleted'' systems. |
9340544b ZW |
3173 | Support for these systems is still present in that release, but |
3174 | @command{configure} will fail unless the @option{--enable-obsolete} | |
c7bdf0a6 ZW |
3175 | option is given. Unless a maintainer steps forward, support for these |
3176 | systems will be removed from the next release of GCC@. | |
f9047ed3 JM |
3177 | |
3178 | Support for old systems as hosts for GCC can cause problems if the | |
3179 | workarounds for compiler, library and operating system bugs affect the | |
161d7b59 | 3180 | cleanliness or maintainability of the rest of GCC@. In some cases, to |
f9047ed3 JM |
3181 | bring GCC up on such a system, if still possible with current GCC, may |
3182 | require first installing an old version of GCC which did work on that | |
c7bdf0a6 ZW |
3183 | system, and using it to compile a more recent GCC, to avoid bugs in the |
3184 | vendor compiler. Old releases of GCC 1 and GCC 2 are available in the | |
3185 | @file{old-releases} directory on the @uref{../mirrors.html,,GCC mirror | |
3186 | sites}. Header bugs may generally be avoided using | |
3187 | @command{fixincludes}, but bugs or deficiencies in libraries and the | |
3188 | operating system may still cause problems. | |
3189 | ||
3190 | Support for older systems as targets for cross-compilation is less | |
3191 | problematic than support for them as hosts for GCC; if an enthusiast | |
3192 | wishes to make such a target work again (including resurrecting any of | |
3193 | the targets that never worked with GCC 2, starting from the last CVS | |
3194 | version before they were removed), patches | |
3195 | @uref{../contribute.html,,following the usual requirements} would be | |
3196 | likely to be accepted, since they should not affect the support for more | |
3197 | modern targets. | |
f9047ed3 JM |
3198 | |
3199 | For some systems, old versions of GNU binutils may also be useful, | |
021c4bfd | 3200 | and are available from @file{pub/binutils/old-releases} on |
f42974dc | 3201 | @uref{http://sources.redhat.com/mirrors.html,,sources.redhat.com mirror sites}. |
f9047ed3 JM |
3202 | |
3203 | Some of the information on specific systems above relates to | |
3204 | such older systems, but much of the information | |
3205 | about GCC on such systems (which may no longer be applicable to | |
f42974dc | 3206 | current GCC) is to be found in the GCC texinfo manual. |
