137 | This document describes the generic installation procedure for GCC as well | |
f9047ed3 | 138 | as detailing some target specific installation instructions. |
f42974dc | 139 | |
f9047ed3 JM |
140 | GCC includes several components that previously were separate distributions |
141 | with their own installation instructions. This document supersedes all | |
eea81d3e | 142 | package specific installation instructions. |
f42974dc | 143 | |

152 | you proceed. |
153 | ||

221 | ||
222 | GCC requires that various tools and packages be available for use in the | |
223 | build procedure. Modifying GCC sources requires additional tools | |
224 | described below. | |
225 | ||
226 | @heading Tools/packages necessary for building GCC | |
227 | @table @asis | |
228 | @item ISO C90 compiler | |
229 | Necessary to bootstrap the GCC package, although versions of GCC prior | |
230 | to 3.4 also allow bootstrapping with a traditional (K&R) C compiler. | |
231 | ||
232 | To make all languages in a cross-compiler or other configuration where | |
233 | 3-stage bootstrap is not performed, you need to start with an existing | |
234 | GCC binary (version 2.95 or later) because source code for language | |
235 | frontends other than C might use GCC extensions. | |
236 | ||
237 | @item GNAT | |
238 | ||
239 | In order to build the Ada compiler (GNAT) you must already have GNAT | |
240 | installed because portions of the Ada frontend are written in Ada (with | |
241 | GNAT extensions.) Refer to the Ada installation instructions for more | |
242 | specific information. | |
243 | ||
244 | @item A ``working'' POSIX compatible shell, or GNU bash | |
245 | ||
246 | Necessary when running @command{configure} because some | |
247 | @command{/bin/sh} shells have bugs and may crash when configuring the | |
248 | target libraries. In other cases, @command{/bin/sh} or even some | |
249 | @command{ksh} have disastrous corner-case performance problems. This | |
250 | can cause target @command{configure} runs to literally take days to | |
251 | complete in some cases. | |
252 | ||
253 | So on some platforms @command{/bin/ksh} is sufficient, on others it | |
254 | isn't. See the host/target specific instructions for your platform, or | |
255 | use @command{bash} to be sure. Then set @env{CONFIG_SHELL} in your | |
256 | environment to your ``good'' shell prior to running | |
257 | @command{configure}/@command{make}. | |
258 | ||
a755e3c5 AP |
259 | @command{zsh} is not a fully compliant POSIX shell and will not |
260 | work when configuring GCC. | |
1b49d06f | 261 | |
67b1fbb9 KG |
262 | @item GNU binutils |
263 | ||
264 | Necessary in some circumstances, optional in others. See the | |
265 | host/target specific instructions for your platform for the exact | |
266 | requirements. | |
267 | ||
268 | @item gzip version 1.2.4 (or later) or | |
269 | @itemx bzip2 version 1.0.2 (or later) | |
270 | ||
271 | Necessary to uncompress GCC @command{tar} files when source code is | |
272 | obtained via FTP mirror sites. | |
273 | ||
e158a5fb MM |
274 | @item GNU make version 3.79.1 (or later) |
275 | ||
276 | You must have GNU make installed to build GCC. | |
277 | ||
67b1fbb9 KG |
278 | @item GNU tar version 1.12 (or later) |
279 | ||
280 | Necessary (only on some platforms) to untar the source code. Many | |
281 | systems' @command{tar} programs will also work, only try GNU | |
282 | @command{tar} if you have problems. | |

411 | GCC is distributed via @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/cvs.html,,CVS} and FTP |
412 | tarballs compressed with @command{gzip} or | |
6cfb3f16 | 413 | @command{bzip2}. It is possible to download a full distribution or specific |
f42974dc DW |
414 | components. |
415 | ||
416 | Please refer to our @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html,,releases web page} | |
161d7b59 | 417 | for information on how to obtain GCC@. |
f42974dc DW |
418 | |
419 | The full distribution includes the C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, | |
8ecab453 GP |
420 | and Ada (in case of GCC 3.1 and later) compilers. The full distribution |
421 | also includes runtime libraries for C++, Objective-C, Fortran, and Java. | |
422 | In GCC 3.0 and later versions, GNU compiler testsuites are also included | |
423 | in the full distribution. | |
f42974dc DW |
424 | |
425 | If you choose to download specific components, you must download the core | |
eea81d3e | 426 | GCC distribution plus any language specific distributions you wish to |
6c0a4eab | 427 | use. The core distribution includes the C language front end as well as the |
767094dd | 428 | shared components. Each language has a tarball which includes the language |
6c0a4eab | 429 | front end as well as the language runtime (when appropriate). |
f42974dc DW |
430 | |
431 | Unpack the core distribution as well as any language specific | |
432 | distributions in the same directory. | |
433 | ||
434 | If you also intend to build binutils (either to upgrade an existing | |

462 | ||
463 | Like most GNU software, GCC must be configured before it can be built. | |
464 | This document describes the recommended configuration procedure | |
465 | for both native and cross targets. | |
466 | ||
38209993 LG |
467 | We use @var{srcdir} to refer to the toplevel source directory for |
468 | GCC; we use @var{objdir} to refer to the toplevel build/object directory. | |
469 | ||
470 | If you obtained the sources via CVS, @var{srcdir} must refer to the top | |
471 | @file{gcc} directory, the one where the @file{MAINTAINERS} can be found, | |
472 | and not its @file{gcc} subdirectory, otherwise the build will fail. | |
f42974dc | 473 | |
b4b0fb02 RO |
474 | If either @var{srcdir} or @var{objdir} is located on an automounted NFS |
475 | file system, the shell's built-in @command{pwd} command will return | |
476 | temporary pathnames. Using these can lead to various sorts of build | |
477 | problems. To avoid this issue, set the @env{PWDCMD} environment | |
478 | variable to an automounter-aware @command{pwd} command, e.g., | |
7ba4ca63 | 479 | @command{pawd} or @samp{amq -w}, during the configuration and build |
b4b0fb02 RO |
480 | phases. |
481 | ||
102b60d1 GP |
482 | First, we @strong{highly} recommend that GCC be built into a |
483 | separate directory than the sources which does @strong{not} reside | |
484 | within the source tree. This is how we generally build GCC; building | |
485 | where @var{srcdir} == @var{objdir} should still work, but doesn't | |
486 | get extensive testing; building where @var{objdir} is a subdirectory | |
487 | of @var{srcdir} is unsupported. | |
f42974dc | 488 | |
eea81d3e | 489 | If you have previously built GCC in the same directory for a |
f85b8d1a | 490 | different target machine, do @samp{make distclean} to delete all files |
377dfc82 GP |
491 | that might be invalid. One of the files this deletes is @file{Makefile}; |
492 | if @samp{make distclean} complains that @file{Makefile} does not exist | |
493 | or issues a message like ``don't know how to make distclean'' it probably | |
494 | means that the directory is already suitably clean. However, with the | |
495 | recommended method of building in a separate @var{objdir}, you should | |
496 | simply use a different @var{objdir} for each target. | |
f85b8d1a | 497 | |
38209993 LG |
498 | Second, when configuring a native system, either @command{cc} or |
499 | @command{gcc} must be in your path or you must set @env{CC} in | |
df002c7d DE |
500 | your environment before running configure. Otherwise the configuration |
501 | scripts may fail. | |
f42974dc | 502 | |
eea81d3e RO |
503 | Note that the bootstrap compiler and the resulting GCC must be link |
504 | compatible, else the bootstrap will fail with linker errors about | |
505 | incompatible object file formats. Several multilibed targets are | |
e69aa433 GP |

525 | @item | |
38209993 | 526 | GCC has code to correctly determine the correct value for @var{target} |
f9047ed3 | 527 | for nearly all native systems. Therefore, we highly recommend you not |
f42974dc DW |
528 | provide a configure target when configuring a native compiler. |
529 | ||
530 | @item | |
6cfb3f16 | 531 | @var{target} must be specified as @option{--target=@var{target}} |
f9047ed3 | 532 | when configuring a cross compiler; examples of valid targets would be |

533 | i960-rtems, m68k-coff, sh-elf, etc. |
534 | ||
535 | @item | |
6cfb3f16 | 536 | Specifying just @var{target} instead of @option{--target=@var{target}} |
38209993 | 537 | implies that the host defaults to @var{target}. |

540 | ||
ef88b07d | 541 | @heading Options specification |
f42974dc | 542 | |
ef88b07d | 543 | Use @var{options} to override several configure time options for |
7ba4ca63 | 544 | GCC@. A list of supported @var{options} follows; @samp{configure |
80f9249a JM |
545 | --help} may list other options, but those not listed below may not |
546 | work and should not normally be used. | |
f42974dc | 547 | |
ef88b07d JM |
548 | @table @code |
549 | @item --prefix=@var{dirname} | |
550 | Specify the toplevel installation | |
f42974dc DW |
551 | directory. This is the recommended way to install the tools into a directory |
552 | other than the default. The toplevel installation directory defaults to | |
6cfb3f16 | 553 | @file{/usr/local}. |
f42974dc | 554 | |
38209993 | 555 | We @strong{highly} recommend against @var{dirname} being the same or a |
a7582c8c BE |
556 | subdirectory of @var{objdir} or vice versa. If specifying a directory |
557 | beneath a user's home directory tree, some shells will not expand | |
558 | @var{dirname} correctly if it contains the @samp{~} metacharacter; use | |
559 | @env{$HOME} instead. | |

b21d216c AF |
607 | @item --program-prefix=@var{prefix} |
608 | GCC supports some transformations of the names of its programs when | |
609 | installing them. This option prepends @var{prefix} to the names of | |
610 | programs to install in @var{bindir} (see above). For example, specifying | |
611 | @option{--program-prefix=foo-} would result in @samp{gcc} | |
612 | being installed as @file{/usr/local/bin/foo-gcc}. | |
613 | ||
614 | @item --program-suffix=@var{suffix} | |
615 | Appends @var{suffix} to the names of programs to install in @var{bindir} | |
616 | (see above). For example, specifying @option{--program-suffix=-3.1} | |
617 | would result in @samp{gcc} being installed as | |
618 | @file{/usr/local/bin/gcc-3.1}. | |
619 | ||
620 | @item --program-transform-name=@var{pattern} | |
621 | Applies the @samp{sed} script @var{pattern} to be applied to the names | |
622 | of programs to install in @var{bindir} (see above). @var{pattern} has to | |
623 | consist of one or more basic @samp{sed} editing commands, separated by | |
624 | semicolons. For example, if you want the @samp{gcc} program name to be | |
625 | transformed to the installed program @file{/usr/local/bin/myowngcc} and | |
626 | the @samp{g++} program name to be transformed to | |
627 | @file{/usr/local/bin/gspecial++} without changing other program names, | |
628 | you could use the pattern | |
629 | @option{--program-transform-name='s/^gcc$/myowngcc/; s/^g++$/gspecial++/'} | |
630 | to achieve this effect. | |
631 | ||
632 | All three options can be combined and used together, resulting in more | |
633 | complex conversion patterns. As a basic rule, @var{prefix} (and | |
634 | @var{suffix}) are prepended (appended) before further transformations | |
635 | can happen with a special transformation script @var{pattern}. | |
636 | ||
8c085f6f | 637 | As currently implemented, this option only takes effect for native |
b21d216c | 638 | builds; cross compiler binaries' names are not transformed even when a |
8c085f6f | 639 | transformation is explicitly asked for by one of these options. |
b21d216c AF |
640 | |
641 | For native builds, some of the installed programs are also installed | |
642 | with the target alias in front of their name, as in | |
643 | @samp{i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc}. All of the above transformations happen | |
644 | before the target alias is prepended to the name - so, specifying | |
645 | @option{--program-prefix=foo-} and @option{program-suffix=-3.1}, the | |
646 | resulting binary would be installed as | |
647 | @file{/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-foo-gcc-3.1}. | |
648 | ||
8ecab453 | 649 | As a last shortcoming, none of the installed Ada programs are |
b21d216c AF |
650 | transformed yet, which will be fixed in some time. |
651 | ||
ef88b07d JM |
652 | @item --with-local-prefix=@var{dirname} |
653 | Specify the | |
6ac48571 JM |
654 | installation directory for local include files. The default is |
655 | @file{/usr/local}. Specify this option if you want the compiler to | |
656 | search directory @file{@var{dirname}/include} for locally installed | |
657 | header files @emph{instead} of @file{/usr/local/include}. | |
658 | ||
659 | You should specify @option{--with-local-prefix} @strong{only} if your | |
660 | site has a different convention (not @file{/usr/local}) for where to put | |
661 | site-specific files. | |
662 | ||
663 | The default value for @option{--with-local-prefix} is @file{/usr/local} | |
664 | regardless of the value of @option{--prefix}. Specifying | |
665 | @option{--prefix} has no effect on which directory GCC searches for | |
666 | local header files. This may seem counterintuitive, but actually it is | |
667 | logical. | |
668 | ||
669 | The purpose of @option{--prefix} is to specify where to @emph{install | |
670 | GCC}. The local header files in @file{/usr/local/include}---if you put | |
161d7b59 | 671 | any in that directory---are not part of GCC@. They are part of other |
6ac48571 JM |
672 | programs---perhaps many others. (GCC installs its own header files in |
673 | another directory which is based on the @option{--prefix} value.) | |
674 | ||
48209ce5 JDA |
675 | Both the local-prefix include directory and the GCC-prefix include |
676 | directory are part of GCC's "system include" directories. Although these | |
677 | two directories are not fixed, they need to be searched in the proper | |
678 | order for the correct processing of the include_next directive. The | |
679 | local-prefix include directory is searched before the GCC-prefix | |
680 | include directory. Another characteristic of system include directories | |
681 | is that pedantic warnings are turned off for headers in these directories. | |
682 | ||
683 | Some autoconf macros add @option{-I @var{directory}} options to the | |
684 | compiler command line, to ensure that directories containing installed | |
685 | packages' headers are searched. When @var{directory} is one of GCC's | |
686 | system include directories, GCC will ignore the option so that system | |
687 | directories continue to be processed in the correct order. This | |
688 | may result in a search order different from what was specified but the | |
689 | directory will still be searched. | |
690 | ||
691 | GCC automatically searches for ordinary libraries using | |
692 | @env{GCC_EXEC_PREFIX}. Thus, when the same installation prefix is | |
693 | used for both GCC and packages, GCC will automatically search for | |
694 | both headers and libraries. This provides a configuration that is | |
695 | easy to use. GCC behaves in a manner similar to that when it is | |
696 | installed as a system compiler in @file{/usr}. | |
697 | ||
698 | Sites that need to install multiple versions of GCC may not want to | |
699 | use the above simple configuration. It is possible to use the | |
700 | @option{--program-prefix}, @option{--program-suffix} and | |
701 | @option{--program-transform-name} options to install multiple versions | |
702 | into a single directory, but it may be simpler to use different prefixes | |
703 | and the @option{--with-local-prefix} option to specify the location of the | |
704 | site-specific files for each version. It will then be necessary for | |
705 | users to specify explicitly the location of local site libraries | |
706 | (e.g., with @env{LIBRARY_PATH}). | |
707 | ||
708 | The same value can be used for both @option{--with-local-prefix} and | |
709 | @option{--prefix} provided it is not @file{/usr}. This can be used | |
710 | to avoid the default search of @file{/usr/local/include}. | |
711 | ||
6ac48571 JM |
712 | @strong{Do not} specify @file{/usr} as the @option{--with-local-prefix}! |
713 | The directory you use for @option{--with-local-prefix} @strong{must not} | |
714 | contain any of the system's standard header files. If it did contain | |
715 | them, certain programs would be miscompiled (including GNU Emacs, on | |
716 | certain targets), because this would override and nullify the header | |
4c64396e | 717 | file corrections made by the @command{fixincludes} script. |
6ac48571 JM |
718 | |
719 | Indications are that people who use this option use it based on mistaken | |
720 | ideas of what it is for. People use it as if it specified where to | |
161d7b59 | 721 | install part of GCC@. Perhaps they make this assumption because |
6ac48571 JM |
722 | installing GCC creates the directory. |

810 | Specify that stabs debugging | |
38209993 LG |
811 | information should be used instead of whatever format the host normally |
812 | uses. Normally GCC uses the same debug format as the host system. | |
f42974dc | 813 | |
8c26c999 JM |
814 | On MIPS based systems and on Alphas, you must specify whether you want |
815 | GCC to create the normal ECOFF debugging format, or to use BSD-style | |
816 | stabs passed through the ECOFF symbol table. The normal ECOFF debug | |
161d7b59 JM |
817 | format cannot fully handle languages other than C@. BSD stabs format can |
818 | handle other languages, but it only works with the GNU debugger GDB@. | |
8c26c999 JM |
819 | |
820 | Normally, GCC uses the ECOFF debugging format by default; if you | |
161d7b59 | 821 | prefer BSD stabs, specify @option{--with-stabs} when you configure GCC@. |
8c26c999 JM |
822 | |
823 | No matter which default you choose when you configure GCC, the user | |
824 | can use the @option{-gcoff} and @option{-gstabs+} options to specify explicitly | |
825 | the debug format for a particular compilation. | |
826 | ||
827 | @option{--with-stabs} is meaningful on the ISC system on the 386, also, if | |
828 | @option{--with-gas} is used. It selects use of stabs debugging | |
829 | information embedded in COFF output. This kind of debugging information | |
830 | supports C++ well; ordinary COFF debugging information does not. | |
831 | ||
832 | @option{--with-stabs} is also meaningful on 386 systems running SVR4. It | |
833 | selects use of stabs debugging information embedded in ELF output. The | |
834 | C++ compiler currently (2.6.0) does not support the DWARF debugging | |
835 | information normally used on 386 SVR4 platforms; stabs provide a | |
836 | workable alternative. This requires gas and gdb, as the normal SVR4 | |
837 | tools can not generate or interpret stabs. | |

6cfb3f16 | 1032 | The @option{--enable-win32-registry} option enables Windows-hosted GCC |

1058 | If you don't specify it, @option{-Werror} is turned on for the main | |

f85b8d1a JM |
1063 | @item --enable-checking |
1064 | @itemx --enable-checking=@var{list} | |
1065 | When you specify this option, the compiler is built to perform checking | |
1066 | of tree node types when referencing fields of that node, and some other | |
1067 | internal consistency checks. This does not change the generated code, | |
1068 | but adds error checking within the compiler. This will slow down the | |
1069 | compiler and may only work properly if you are building the compiler | |
161d7b59 | 1070 | with GCC@. This is on by default when building from CVS or snapshots, |
f85b8d1a JM |
1071 | but off for releases. More control over the checks may be had by |
1072 | specifying @var{list}; the categories of checks available are | |
c2f82a84 | 1073 | @samp{misc}, @samp{tree}, @samp{gc}, @samp{rtl}, @samp{rtlflag}, |
5dfa45d0 JJ |
1074 | @samp{fold}, @samp{gcac} and @samp{valgrind}. The check @samp{valgrind} |
1075 | requires the external @command{valgrind} simulator, available from | |
e0c99e15 | 1076 | @uref{http://valgrind.kde.org/}. The default when @var{list} is |
c2f82a84 HPN |
1077 | not specified is @samp{misc,tree,gc,rtlflag}; the checks @samp{rtl}, |
1078 | @samp{gcac} and @samp{valgrind} are very expensive. | |

31775d31 | 1081 | @itemx --enable-coverage=@var{level} |
22aa533e NS |
1082 | With this option, the compiler is built to collect self coverage |
1083 | information, every time it is run. This is for internal development | |
1084 | purposes, and only works when the compiler is being built with gcc. The | |
1085 | @var{level} argument controls whether the compiler is built optimized or | |
1086 | not, values are @samp{opt} and @samp{noopt}. For coverage analysis you | |
1087 | want to disable optimization, for performance analysis you want to | |
1088 | enable optimization. When coverage is enabled, the default level is | |
1089 | without optimization. | |
1090 | ||

6cfb3f16 | 1098 | The @option{--enable-nls} option enables Native Language Support (NLS), |
f85b8d1a | 1099 | which lets GCC output diagnostics in languages other than American |
767094dd | 1100 | English. Native Language Support is enabled by default if not doing a |
161d7b59 | 1101 | canadian cross build. The @option{--disable-nls} option disables NLS@. |
f85b8d1a JM |
1102 | |
1103 | @item --with-included-gettext | |
c771326b | 1104 | If NLS is enabled, the @option{--with-included-gettext} option causes the build |

1107 | @item --with-catgets | |
1108 | If NLS is enabled, and if the host lacks @code{gettext} but has the | |
1109 | inferior @code{catgets} interface, the GCC build procedure normally | |
1110 | ignores @code{catgets} and instead uses GCC's copy of the GNU | |
6cfb3f16 | 1111 | @code{gettext} library. The @option{--with-catgets} option causes the |

1136 | @itemx --with-sysroot=@var{dir} | |
1137 | Tells GCC to consider @var{dir} as the root of a tree that contains a | |
1138 | (subset of) the root filesystem of the target operating system. | |
1139 | Target system headers, libraries and run-time object files will be | |
1140 | searched in there. The specified directory is not copied into the | |
1141 | install tree, unlike the options @option{--with-headers} and | |
1142 | @option{--with-libs} that this option obsoletes. The default value, | |
1143 | in case @option{--with-sysroot} is not given an argument, is | |
047d636f DJ |
1144 | @option{$@{gcc_tooldir@}/sys-root}. If the specified directory is a |
1145 | subdirectory of @option{$@{exec_prefix@}}, then it will be found relative to | |
1146 | the GCC binaries if the installation tree is moved. | |

1151 | Specifies that target headers are available when building a cross compiler. |
1152 | The @var{dir} argument specifies a directory which has the target include | |
1153 | files. These include files will be copied into the @file{gcc} install | |

1203 | @cindex Installing GCC: Building | |
1204 | ||
1205 | Now that GCC is configured, you are ready to build the compiler and | |
1206 | runtime libraries. | |
1207 | ||
58db9d1a | 1208 | We @strong{highly} recommend that GCC be built using GNU make; |
f282ffb3 | 1209 | other versions may work, then again they might not. |
58db9d1a AH |
1210 | GNU make is required for compiling GNAT (the Ada compiler) and the Java |
1211 | runtime library. | |
f42974dc DW |
1212 | |
1213 | (For example, many broken versions of make will fail if you use the | |
b8df899a JM |
1214 | recommended setup where @var{objdir} is different from @var{srcdir}. |
1215 | Other broken versions may recompile parts of the compiler when | |
1216 | installing the compiler.) | |
f42974dc | 1217 | |
b8df899a | 1218 | Some commands executed when making the compiler may fail (return a |
7ba4ca63 | 1219 | nonzero status) and be ignored by @command{make}. These failures, which |
b8df899a JM |
1220 | are often due to files that were not found, are expected, and can safely |
1221 | be ignored. | |
1222 | ||
1223 | It is normal to have compiler warnings when compiling certain files. | |
1224 | Unless you are a GCC developer, you can generally ignore these warnings | |
dd859b8a KG |
1225 | unless they cause compilation to fail. Developers should attempt to fix |
1226 | any warnings encountered, however they can temporarily continue past | |
1227 | warnings-as-errors by specifying the configure flag | |
1228 | @option{--disable-werror}. | |
b8df899a JM |
1229 | |
1230 | On certain old systems, defining certain environment variables such as | |
6cfb3f16 | 1231 | @env{CC} can interfere with the functioning of @command{make}. |
b8df899a JM |
1232 | |
1233 | If you encounter seemingly strange errors when trying to build the | |
1234 | compiler in a directory other than the source directory, it could be | |
1235 | because you have previously configured the compiler in the source | |
1236 | directory. Make sure you have done all the necessary preparations. | |
1237 | ||
1238 | If you build GCC on a BSD system using a directory stored in an old System | |
4c64396e | 1239 | V file system, problems may occur in running @command{fixincludes} if the |
b8df899a JM |
1240 | System V file system doesn't support symbolic links. These problems |
1241 | result in a failure to fix the declaration of @code{size_t} in | |
1242 | @file{sys/types.h}. If you find that @code{size_t} is a signed type and | |
1243 | that type mismatches occur, this could be the cause. | |
1244 | ||
161d7b59 | 1245 | The solution is not to use such a directory for building GCC@. |
f42974dc | 1246 | |
f85b8d1a JM |
1247 | When building from CVS or snapshots, or if you modify parser sources, |
1248 | you need the Bison parser generator installed. Any version 1.25 or | |
1249 | later should work; older versions may also work. If you do not modify | |
1250 | parser sources, releases contain the Bison-generated files and you do | |
1251 | not need Bison installed to build them. | |
1252 | ||
1253 | When building from CVS or snapshots, or if you modify Texinfo | |
a38f87a9 | 1254 | documentation, you need version 4.2 or later of Texinfo installed if you |
f85b8d1a JM |
1255 | want Info documentation to be regenerated. Releases contain Info |
1256 | documentation pre-built for the unmodified documentation in the release. | |

1258 | @section Building a native compiler |
1259 | ||
f9047ed3 | 1260 | For a native build issue the command @samp{make bootstrap}. This |
f42974dc DW |
1261 | will build the entire GCC system, which includes the following steps: |
1262 | ||
1263 | @itemize @bullet | |
1264 | @item | |
1265 | Build host tools necessary to build the compiler such as texinfo, bison, | |
1266 | gperf. | |
1267 | ||
1268 | @item | |
1269 | Build target tools for use by the compiler such as binutils (bfd, | |
eea81d3e | 1270 | binutils, gas, gprof, ld, and opcodes) |
f282ffb3 | 1271 | if they have been individually linked |
f42974dc DW |
1272 | or moved into the top level GCC source tree before configuring. |
1273 | ||
1274 | @item | |
1275 | Perform a 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler. | |
1276 | ||
1277 | @item | |
1278 | Perform a comparison test of the stage2 and stage3 compilers. | |
1279 | ||
1280 | @item | |
1281 | Build runtime libraries using the stage3 compiler from the previous step. | |
f9047ed3 | 1282 | |
f42974dc DW |
1283 | @end itemize |
1284 | ||
38209993 LG |
1285 | If you are short on disk space you might consider @samp{make |
1286 | bootstrap-lean} instead. This is identical to @samp{make | |
1287 | bootstrap} except that object files from the stage1 and | |
f42974dc DW |
1288 | stage2 of the 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler are deleted as |
1289 | soon as they are no longer needed. | |
1290 | ||
f42974dc DW |
1291 | If you want to save additional space during the bootstrap and in |
1292 | the final installation as well, you can build the compiler binaries | |
8c085f6f | 1293 | without debugging information as in the following example. This will save |
f42974dc DW |
1294 | roughly 40% of disk space both for the bootstrap and the final installation. |
1295 | (Libraries will still contain debugging information.) | |
1296 | ||
8c085f6f JJ |
1297 | @example |
1298 | make CFLAGS='-O' LIBCFLAGS='-g -O2' \ | |
1299 | LIBCXXFLAGS='-g -O2 -fno-implicit-templates' bootstrap | |
1300 | @end example | |
1301 | ||
eea81d3e RO |
1302 | If you wish to use non-default GCC flags when compiling the stage2 and |
1303 | stage3 compilers, set @code{BOOT_CFLAGS} on the command line when doing | |
f85b8d1a JM |
1304 | @samp{make bootstrap}. Non-default optimization flags are less well |
1305 | tested here than the default of @samp{-g -O2}, but should still work. | |
1306 | In a few cases, you may find that you need to specify special flags such | |
1307 | as @option{-msoft-float} here to complete the bootstrap; or, if the | |
1308 | native compiler miscompiles the stage1 compiler, you may need to work | |
1309 | around this, by choosing @code{BOOT_CFLAGS} to avoid the parts of the | |
1310 | stage1 compiler that were miscompiled, or by using @samp{make | |
1311 | bootstrap4} to increase the number of stages of bootstrap. | |
1312 | ||
6cfb3f16 | 1313 | If you used the flag @option{--enable-languages=@dots{}} to restrict |
f42974dc | 1314 | the compilers to be built, only those you've actually enabled will be |
767094dd | 1315 | built. This will of course only build those runtime libraries, for |
f42974dc | 1316 | which the particular compiler has been built. Please note, |
eea81d3e | 1317 | that re-defining @env{LANGUAGES} when calling @samp{make bootstrap} |
ef88b07d | 1318 | @strong{does not} work anymore! |
f42974dc | 1319 | |
f85b8d1a | 1320 | If the comparison of stage2 and stage3 fails, this normally indicates |
eea81d3e | 1321 | that the stage2 compiler has compiled GCC incorrectly, and is therefore |
f85b8d1a JM |
1322 | a potentially serious bug which you should investigate and report. (On |
1323 | a few systems, meaningful comparison of object files is impossible; they | |
1324 | always appear ``different''. If you encounter this problem, you will | |
1325 | need to disable comparison in the @file{Makefile}.) | |
f42974dc DW |
1326 | |
1327 | @section Building a cross compiler | |
1328 | ||
1329 | We recommend reading the | |
1330 | @uref{http://www.objsw.com/CrossGCC/,,crossgcc FAQ} | |
1331 | for information about building cross compilers. | |
1332 | ||
1333 | When building a cross compiler, it is not generally possible to do a | |
1334 | 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler. This makes for an interesting problem | |
161d7b59 | 1335 | as parts of GCC can only be built with GCC@. |
f42974dc DW |
1336 | |
1337 | To build a cross compiler, we first recommend building and installing a | |
1338 | native compiler. You can then use the native GCC compiler to build the | |
635771af JM |
1339 | cross compiler. The installed native compiler needs to be GCC version |
1340 | 2.95 or later. | |
f42974dc DW |
1341 | |
1342 | Assuming you have already installed a native copy of GCC and configured | |
6cfb3f16 | 1343 | your cross compiler, issue the command @command{make}, which performs the |
f42974dc DW |
1344 | following steps: |
1345 | ||
1346 | @itemize @bullet | |
1347 | @item | |
1348 | Build host tools necessary to build the compiler such as texinfo, bison, | |
1349 | gperf. | |
1350 | ||
1351 | @item | |
1352 | Build target tools for use by the compiler such as binutils (bfd, | |
1353 | binutils, gas, gprof, ld, and opcodes) | |
1354 | if they have been individually linked or moved into the top level GCC source | |
1355 | tree before configuring. | |
1356 | ||
1357 | @item | |
1358 | Build the compiler (single stage only). | |
1359 | ||
1360 | @item | |
1361 | Build runtime libraries using the compiler from the previous step. | |
1362 | @end itemize | |
1363 | ||
1364 | Note that if an error occurs in any step the make process will exit. | |
1365 | ||
01e97976 JM |
1366 | If you are not building GNU binutils in the same source tree as GCC, |
1367 | you will need a cross-assembler and cross-linker installed before | |
1368 | configuring GCC@. Put them in the directory | |
1369 | @file{@var{prefix}/@var{target}/bin}. Here is a table of the tools | |
1370 | you should put in this directory: | |
1371 | ||
1372 | @table @file | |
1373 | @item as | |
1374 | This should be the cross-assembler. | |
1375 | ||
1376 | @item ld | |
1377 | This should be the cross-linker. | |
1378 | ||
1379 | @item ar | |
1380 | This should be the cross-archiver: a program which can manipulate | |
1381 | archive files (linker libraries) in the target machine's format. | |
1382 | ||
1383 | @item ranlib | |
1384 | This should be a program to construct a symbol table in an archive file. | |
1385 | @end table | |
1386 | ||
1387 | The installation of GCC will find these programs in that directory, | |
1388 | and copy or link them to the proper place to for the cross-compiler to | |
1389 | find them when run later. | |
1390 | ||
1391 | The easiest way to provide these files is to build the Binutils package. | |
1392 | Configure it with the same @option{--host} and @option{--target} | |
1393 | options that you use for configuring GCC, then build and install | |
1394 | them. They install their executables automatically into the proper | |
1395 | directory. Alas, they do not support all the targets that GCC | |
1396 | supports. | |
1397 | ||
1398 | If you are not building a C library in the same source tree as GCC, | |
1399 | you should also provide the target libraries and headers before | |
1400 | configuring GCC, specifying the directories with | |
1401 | @option{--with-sysroot} or @option{--with-headers} and | |
1402 | @option{--with-libs}. Many targets also require ``start files'' such | |
1403 | as @file{crt0.o} and | |
1404 | @file{crtn.o} which are linked into each executable. There may be several | |
1405 | alternatives for @file{crt0.o}, for use with profiling or other | |
1406 | compilation options. Check your target's definition of | |
1407 | @code{STARTFILE_SPEC} to find out what start files it uses. | |
1408 | ||

1409 | @section Building in parallel |
1410 | ||
27a3e494 DE |
1411 | You can use @samp{make bootstrap MAKE="make -j 2" -j 2}, or just |
1412 | @samp{make -j 2 bootstrap} for GNU Make 3.79 and above, instead of | |
1413 | @samp{make bootstrap} to build GCC in parallel. | |
1414 | You can also specify a bigger number, and in most cases using a value | |
1415 | greater than the number of processors in your machine will result in | |
1416 | fewer and shorter I/O latency hits, thus improving overall throughput; | |
1417 | this is especially true for slow drives and network filesystems. | |
f42974dc | 1418 | |
e23381df GB |
1419 | @section Building the Ada compiler |
1420 | ||
1421 | In order to build GNAT, the Ada compiler, you need a working GNAT | |
3e98a119 | 1422 | compiler (GNAT version 3.14 or later, or GCC version 3.1 or later), |
af5734de | 1423 | including GNAT tools such as @command{gnatmake} and @command{gnatlink}, |
38e23049 | 1424 | since the Ada front end is written in Ada (with some |
e23381df GB |
1425 | GNAT-specific extensions), and GNU make. |
1426 | ||
38e23049 JM |
1427 | @command{configure} does not test whether the GNAT installation works |
1428 | and has a sufficiently recent version; if too old a GNAT version is | |
1429 | installed, the build will fail unless @option{--enable-languages} is | |
1430 | used to disable building the Ada front end. | |
e23381df | 1431 | |
e23381df | 1432 | At the moment, the GNAT library and several tools for GNAT are not built |
436d7715 | 1433 | by @samp{make bootstrap}. For a native build, you have to invoke |
e23381df GB |
1434 | @samp{make gnatlib_and_tools} in the @file{@var{objdir}/gcc} |
1435 | subdirectory before proceeding with the next steps. | |
436d7715 | 1436 | For a cross build, you need to invoke |
e9da8a5a AS |
1437 | @samp{make gnatlib cross-gnattools ada.all.cross}. For a canadian |
1438 | cross you only need to invoke @samp{make cross-gnattools}; the GNAT | |
1439 | library would be the same as the one built for the cross compiler. | |
e23381df GB |
1440 | |
1441 | For example, you can build a native Ada compiler by issuing the | |
1442 | following commands (assuming @command{make} is GNU make): | |
1443 | ||
1444 | @example | |
1445 | cd @var{objdir} | |
f282ffb3 | 1446 | @var{srcdir}/configure --enable-languages=c,ada |
f282ffb3 | 1447 | cd @var{objdir} |
e23381df GB |
1448 | make bootstrap |
1449 | cd gcc | |
1450 | make gnatlib_and_tools | |
1451 | cd .. | |
1452 | @end example | |
1453 | ||
1454 | Currently, when compiling the Ada front end, you cannot use the parallel | |
1455 | build feature described in the previous section. | |
1456 | ||
8f231b5d JH |
1457 | @section Building with profile feedback |
1458 | ||
1459 | It is possible to use profile feedback to optimize the compiler itself. This | |
1460 | should result in a faster compiler binary. Experiments done on x86 using gcc | |
1461 | 3.3 showed approximately 7 percent speedup on compiling C programs. To | |
1462 | bootstrap compiler with profile feedback, use @code{make profiledbootstrap}. | |
1463 | ||
1464 | When @samp{make profiledbootstrap} is run, it will first build a @code{stage1} | |
1465 | compiler. This compiler is used to build a @code{stageprofile} compiler | |
1466 | instrumented to collect execution counts of instruction and branch | |
1467 | probabilities. Then runtime libraries are compiled with profile collected. | |
1468 | Finally a @code{stagefeedback} compiler is built using the information collected. | |
1469 | ||
1470 | Unlike @samp{make bootstrap} several additional restrictions apply. The | |
1471 | compiler used to build @code{stage1} needs to support a 64-bit integral type. | |
1472 | It is recommended to only use GCC for this. Also parallel make is currently | |
1473 | not supported since collisions in profile collecting may occur. | |

1497 | Before you install GCC, we encourage you to run the testsuites and to |
1498 | compare your results with results from a similar configuration that have | |
1499 | been submitted to the | |
1500 | @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/,,gcc-testresults mailing list}. | |
05253aed JJ |
1501 | Some of these archived results are linked from the build status lists |
1502 | at @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html}, although not everyone who | |
1503 | reports a successful build runs the testsuites and submits the results. | |
f97903cc JJ |
1504 | This step is optional and may require you to download additional software, |
1505 | but it can give you confidence in your new GCC installation or point out | |
1506 | problems before you install and start using your new GCC. | |
f42974dc | 1507 | |
f9047ed3 | 1508 | First, you must have @uref{download.html,,downloaded the testsuites}. |
f97903cc JJ |
1509 | These are part of the full distribution, but if you downloaded the |
1510 | ``core'' compiler plus any front ends, you must download the testsuites | |
1511 | separately. | |
f42974dc | 1512 | |
f97903cc | 1513 | Second, you must have the testing tools installed. This includes |
6cbf57c9 GP |
1514 | @uref{http://www.gnu.org/software/dejagnu/,,DejaGnu} 1.4.1 or 1.4.3 |
1515 | and later, Tcl, and Expect; the DejaGnu site has links to these. | |
f42974dc | 1516 | |
8cacda7c GP |
1517 | If the directories where @command{runtest} and @command{expect} were |
1518 | installed are not in the @env{PATH}, you may need to set the following | |
1519 | environment variables appropriately, as in the following example (which | |
1520 | assumes that DejaGnu has been installed under @file{/usr/local}): | |
f42974dc DW |
1521 | |
1522 | @example | |
1523 | TCL_LIBRARY = /usr/local/share/tcl8.0 | |
1524 | DEJAGNULIBS = /usr/local/share/dejagnu | |
1525 | @end example | |
1526 | ||
8cacda7c | 1527 | (On systems such as Cygwin, these paths are required to be actual |
f42974dc | 1528 | paths, not mounts or links; presumably this is due to some lack of |
8cacda7c | 1529 | portability in the DejaGnu code.) |
ecb7d6b3 | 1530 | |
f42974dc DW |
1531 | |
1532 | Finally, you can run the testsuite (which may take a long time): | |
1533 | @example | |
ef88b07d | 1534 | cd @var{objdir}; make -k check |
f42974dc DW |
1535 | @end example |
1536 | ||
794aca5d WB |
1537 | This will test various components of GCC, such as compiler |
1538 | front ends and runtime libraries. While running the testsuite, DejaGnu | |
1539 | might emit some harmless messages resembling | |
06809951 | 1540 | @samp{WARNING: Couldn't find the global config file.} or |
794aca5d | 1541 | @samp{WARNING: Couldn't find tool init file} that can be ignored. |
06809951 | 1542 | |
f42974dc DW |
1543 | @section How can I run the test suite on selected tests? |
1544 | ||
794aca5d WB |
1545 | In order to run sets of tests selectively, there are targets |
1546 | @samp{make check-gcc} and @samp{make check-g++} | |
1547 | in the @file{gcc} subdirectory of the object directory. You can also | |
1548 | just run @samp{make check} in a subdirectory of the object directory. | |
1549 | ||
1550 | ||
1551 | A more selective way to just run all @command{gcc} execute tests in the | |
1552 | testsuite is to use | |
f42974dc DW |
1553 | |
1554 | @example | |
6cfb3f16 | 1555 | make check-gcc RUNTESTFLAGS="execute.exp @var{other-options}" |
f42974dc DW |
1556 | @end example |
1557 | ||
794aca5d WB |
1558 | Likewise, in order to run only the @command{g++} ``old-deja'' tests in |
1559 | the testsuite with filenames matching @samp{9805*}, you would use | |
f42974dc DW |
1560 | |
1561 | @example | |
6cfb3f16 | 1562 | make check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="old-deja.exp=9805* @var{other-options}" |
f42974dc DW |
1563 | @end example |
1564 | ||
6cfb3f16 JM |
1565 | The @file{*.exp} files are located in the testsuite directories of the GCC |
1566 | source, the most important ones being @file{compile.exp}, | |
1567 | @file{execute.exp}, @file{dg.exp} and @file{old-deja.exp}. | |
1568 | To get a list of the possible @file{*.exp} files, pipe the | |
38209993 | 1569 | output of @samp{make check} into a file and look at the |
6cfb3f16 | 1570 | @samp{Running @dots{} .exp} lines. |
f42974dc | 1571 | |
e08737dc PE |
1572 | @section Passing options and running multiple testsuites |
1573 | ||
1574 | You can pass multiple options to the testsuite using the | |
1575 | @samp{--target_board} option of DejaGNU, either passed as part of | |
1576 | @samp{RUNTESTFLAGS}, or directly to @command{runtest} if you prefer to | |
1577 | work outside the makefiles. For example, | |
1578 | ||
1579 | @example | |
1580 | make check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=unix/-O3/-fno-strength-reduce" | |
1581 | @end example | |
1582 | ||
1583 | will run the standard @command{g++} testsuites (``unix'' is the target name | |
1584 | for a standard native testsuite situation), passing | |
1585 | @samp{-O3 -fno-strength-reduce} to the compiler on every test, i.e., | |
1586 | slashes separate options. | |
1587 | ||
1588 | You can run the testsuites multiple times using combinations of options | |
1589 | with a syntax similar to the brace expansion of popular shells: | |
1590 | ||
1591 | @example | |
1592 | @dots{}"--target_board=arm-sim@{-mhard-float,-msoft-float@}@{-O1,-O2,-O3,@}" | |
1593 | @end example | |
1594 | ||
1595 | (Note the empty option caused by the trailing comma in the final group.) | |
1596 | The following will run each testsuite eight times using the @samp{arm-sim} | |
1597 | target, as if you had specified all possible combinations yourself: | |
1598 | ||
1599 | @example | |
1600 | --target_board=arm-sim/-mhard-float/-O1 | |
1601 | --target_board=arm-sim/-mhard-float/-O2 | |
1602 | --target_board=arm-sim/-mhard-float/-O3 | |
1603 | --target_board=arm-sim/-mhard-float | |
1604 | --target_board=arm-sim/-msoft-float/-O1 | |
1605 | --target_board=arm-sim/-msoft-float/-O2 | |
1606 | --target_board=arm-sim/-msoft-float/-O3 | |
1607 | --target_board=arm-sim/-msoft-float | |
1608 | @end example | |
1609 | ||
1610 | They can be combined as many times as you wish, in arbitrary ways. This | |
1611 | list: | |
1612 | ||
1613 | @example | |
1614 | @dots{}"--target_board=unix/-Wextra@{-O3,-fno-strength-reduce@}@{-fomit-frame-pointer,@}" | |
1615 | @end example | |
1616 | ||
1617 | will generate four combinations, all involving @samp{-Wextra}. | |
1618 | ||
1619 | The disadvantage to this method is that the testsuites are run in serial, | |
1620 | which is a waste on multiprocessor systems. For users with GNU Make and | |
1621 | a shell which performs brace expansion, you can run the testsuites in | |
1622 | parallel by having the shell perform the combinations and @command{make} | |
1623 | do the parallel runs. Instead of using @samp{--target_board}, use a | |
1624 | special makefile target: | |
1625 | ||
1626 | @example | |
1627 | make -j@var{N} check-@var{testsuite}//@var{test-target}/@var{option1}/@var{option2}/@dots{} | |
1628 | @end example | |
1629 | ||
1630 | For example, | |
1631 | ||
1632 | @example | |
1633 | make -j3 check-gcc//sh-hms-sim/@{-m1,-m2,-m3,-m3e,-m4@}/@{,-nofpu@} | |
1634 | @end example | |
1635 | ||
1636 | will run three concurrent ``make-gcc'' testsuites, eventually testing all | |
1637 | ten combinations as described above. Note that this is currently only | |
1638 | supported in the @file{gcc} subdirectory. (To see how this works, try | |
1639 | typing @command{echo} before the example given here.) | |
1640 | ||
1641 | ||
1642 | @section Additional testing for Java Class Libraries | |
1643 | ||
688d8b84 RM |
1644 | The Java runtime tests can be executed via @samp{make check} |
1645 | in the @file{@var{target}/libjava/testsuite} directory in | |

1727 | Now that GCC has been built (and optionally tested), you can install it with |
1728 | @example | |
1729 | cd @var{objdir}; make install | |
1730 | @end example | |
f42974dc | 1731 | |
06809951 GP |
1732 | We strongly recommend to install into a target directory where there is |
1733 | no previous version of GCC present. | |
1734 | ||
f42974dc | 1735 | That step completes the installation of GCC; user level binaries can |
8e5f33ff GK |
1736 | be found in @file{@var{prefix}/bin} where @var{prefix} is the value |
1737 | you specified with the @option{--prefix} to configure (or | |
1738 | @file{/usr/local} by default). (If you specified @option{--bindir}, | |
1739 | that directory will be used instead; otherwise, if you specified | |
1740 | @option{--exec-prefix}, @file{@var{exec-prefix}/bin} will be used.) | |
1741 | Headers for the C++ and Java libraries are installed in | |
1742 | @file{@var{prefix}/include}; libraries in @file{@var{libdir}} | |
1743 | (normally @file{@var{prefix}/lib}); internal parts of the compiler in | |
1744 | @file{@var{libdir}/gcc} and @file{@var{libexecdir}/gcc}; documentation | |
1745 | in info format in @file{@var{infodir}} (normally | |
1746 | @file{@var{prefix}/info}). | |
f42974dc | 1747 | |
53b50ac1 CC |
1748 | When installing cross-compilers, GCC's executables |
1749 | are not only installed into @file{@var{bindir}}, that | |
1750 | is, @file{@var{exec-prefix}/bin}, but additionally into | |
1751 | @file{@var{exec-prefix}/@var{target-alias}/bin}, if that directory | |
1752 | exists. Typically, such @dfn{tooldirs} hold target-specific | |
1753 | binutils, including assembler and linker. | |
1754 | ||
1755 | Installation into a temporary staging area or into a @command{chroot} | |
1756 | jail can be achieved with the command | |
1757 | ||
1758 | @example | |
1759 | make DESTDIR=@var{path-to-rootdir} install | |
1760 | @end example | |
1761 | ||
1762 | @noindent where @var{path-to-rootdir} is the absolute path of | |
1763 | a directory relative to which all installation paths will be | |
1764 | interpreted. Note that the directory specified by @code{DESTDIR} | |
1765 | need not exist yet; it will be created if necessary. | |
1766 | ||
1767 | There is a subtle point with tooldirs and @code{DESTDIR}: | |
1768 | If you relocate a cross-compiler installation with | |
1769 | e.g.@: @samp{DESTDIR=@var{rootdir}}, then the directory | |
1770 | @file{@var{rootdir}/@var{exec-prefix}/@var{target-alias}/bin} will | |
1771 | be filled with duplicated GCC executables only if it already exists, | |
1772 | it will not be created otherwise. This is regarded as a feature, | |
1773 | not as a bug, because it gives slightly more control to the packagers | |
1774 | using the @code{DESTDIR} feature. | |
1775 | ||

b8df899a | 2140 | Systems using processors that implement the DEC Alpha architecture and |
f2541106 RO |
2141 | are running the DEC/Compaq Unix (DEC OSF/1, Digital UNIX, or Compaq |
2142 | Tru64 UNIX) operating system, for example the DEC Alpha AXP systems. | |
2143 | ||
c7bdf0a6 ZW |
2144 | As of GCC 3.2, versions before @code{alpha*-dec-osf4} are no longer |
2145 | supported. (These are the versions which identify themselves as DEC | |

9340544b | 2147 | |
6e92b3a1 RB |
2148 | In Digital Unix V4.0, virtual memory exhausted bootstrap failures |
2149 | may be fixed by configuring with @option{--with-gc=simple}, | |
2150 | reconfiguring Kernel Virtual Memory and Swap parameters | |
2151 | per the @command{/usr/sbin/sys_check} Tuning Suggestions, | |
2152 | or applying the patch in | |
2153 | @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-08/msg00822.html}. | |
2154 | ||
f2541106 RO |
2155 | In Tru64 UNIX V5.1, Compaq introduced a new assembler that does not |
2156 | currently (2001-06-13) work with @command{mips-tfile}. As a workaround, | |
2157 | we need to use the old assembler, invoked via the barely documented | |
2158 | @option{-oldas} option. To bootstrap GCC, you either need to use the | |
2159 | Compaq C Compiler: | |
2160 | ||
2161 | @example | |
eea81d3e | 2162 | % CC=cc @var{srcdir}/configure [@var{options}] [@var{target}] |
f2541106 RO |
2163 | @end example |
2164 | ||
2165 | or you can use a copy of GCC 2.95.3 or higher built on Tru64 UNIX V4.0: | |
2166 | ||
2167 | @example | |
eea81d3e | 2168 | % CC=gcc -Wa,-oldas @var{srcdir}/configure [@var{options}] [@var{target}] |
f2541106 | 2169 | @end example |
b8df899a | 2170 | |
b953cc4b RO |
2171 | As of GNU binutils 2.11.2, neither GNU @command{as} nor GNU @command{ld} |
2172 | are supported on Tru64 UNIX, so you must not configure GCC with | |
2173 | @option{--with-gnu-as} or @option{--with-gnu-ld}. | |
2174 | ||
f0523f02 | 2175 | GCC writes a @samp{.verstamp} directive to the assembler output file |
b8df899a JM |
2176 | unless it is built as a cross-compiler. It gets the version to use from |
2177 | the system header file @file{/usr/include/stamp.h}. If you install a | |
2178 | new version of DEC Unix, you should rebuild GCC to pick up the new version | |
2179 | stamp. | |
2180 | ||
2181 | Note that since the Alpha is a 64-bit architecture, cross-compilers from | |
2182 | 32-bit machines will not generate code as efficient as that generated | |
2183 | when the compiler is running on a 64-bit machine because many | |
2184 | optimizations that depend on being able to represent a word on the | |
2185 | target in an integral value on the host cannot be performed. Building | |
2186 | cross-compilers on the Alpha for 32-bit machines has only been tested in | |
2187 | a few cases and may not work properly. | |
2188 | ||
7ba4ca63 | 2189 | @samp{make compare} may fail on old versions of DEC Unix unless you add |
6cfb3f16 | 2190 | @option{-save-temps} to @code{CFLAGS}. On these systems, the name of the |
b8df899a JM |
2191 | assembler input file is stored in the object file, and that makes |
2192 | comparison fail if it differs between the @code{stage1} and | |
6cfb3f16 | 2193 | @code{stage2} compilations. The option @option{-save-temps} forces a |
b8df899a | 2194 | fixed name to be used for the assembler input file, instead of a |
6cfb3f16 | 2195 | randomly chosen name in @file{/tmp}. Do not add @option{-save-temps} |
b8df899a | 2196 | unless the comparisons fail without that option. If you add |
6cfb3f16 | 2197 | @option{-save-temps}, you will have to manually delete the @samp{.i} and |
b8df899a JM |
2198 | @samp{.s} files after each series of compilations. |
2199 | ||
f0523f02 | 2200 | GCC now supports both the native (ECOFF) debugging format used by DBX |
161d7b59 | 2201 | and GDB and an encapsulated STABS format for use only with GDB@. See the |
6cfb3f16 | 2202 | discussion of the @option{--with-stabs} option of @file{configure} above |
b8df899a JM |
2203 | for more information on these formats and how to select them. |
2204 | ||
2205 | There is a bug in DEC's assembler that produces incorrect line numbers | |
2206 | for ECOFF format when the @samp{.align} directive is used. To work | |
f0523f02 | 2207 | around this problem, GCC will not emit such alignment directives |
b8df899a JM |
2208 | while writing ECOFF format debugging information even if optimization is |
2209 | being performed. Unfortunately, this has the very undesirable | |
6cfb3f16 JM |
2210 | side-effect that code addresses when @option{-O} is specified are |
2211 | different depending on whether or not @option{-g} is also specified. | |
b8df899a | 2212 | |
6cfb3f16 | 2213 | To avoid this behavior, specify @option{-gstabs+} and use GDB instead of |
161d7b59 | 2214 | DBX@. DEC is now aware of this problem with the assembler and hopes to |
b8df899a JM |
2215 | provide a fix shortly. |

2224 | support for this target soon. Currently, only the C front end is supported, | |
2225 | and it is not possible to build parallel applications. Cray modules are not | |
2226 | supported; in particular, Craylibs are assumed to be in | |
2227 | @file{/opt/ctl/craylibs/craylibs}. | |
2228 | ||
2229 | You absolutely @strong{must} use GNU make on this platform. Also, you | |
2230 | need to tell GCC where to find the assembler and the linker. The | |
2231 | simplest way to do so is by providing @option{--with-as} and | |
2232 | @option{--with-ld} to @file{configure}, e.g.@: | |
2233 | ||
8c085f6f JJ |
2234 | @example |
2235 | configure --with-as=/opt/ctl/bin/cam --with-ld=/opt/ctl/bin/cld \ | |
2236 | --enable-languages=c | |
2237 | @end example | |
71b96724 RL |
2238 | |
2239 | The comparison test during @samp{make bootstrap} fails on Unicos/Mk | |
2240 | because the assembler inserts timestamps into object files. You should | |
2241 | be able to work around this by doing @samp{make all} after getting this | |
2242 | failure. | |

2406 | The version of binutils installed in @file{/usr/bin} is known to work unless | |

6a1dbbaf | 2410 | Support for FreeBSD 1 was discontinued in GCC 3.2. |

2412 | For FreeBSD 2 or any mutant a.out versions of FreeBSD 3: All | |
021c4bfd RO |
2413 | configuration support and files as shipped with GCC 2.95 are still in |
2414 | place. FreeBSD 2.2.7 has been known to bootstrap completely; however, | |
2415 | it is unknown which version of binutils was used (it is assumed that it | |
2416 | was the system copy in @file{/usr/bin}) and C++ EH failures were noted. | |
2417 | ||
2418 | For FreeBSD using the ELF file format: DWARF 2 debugging is now the | |
2419 | default for all CPU architectures. It had been the default on | |
2420 | FreeBSD/alpha since its inception. You may use @option{-gstabs} instead | |
2421 | of @option{-g}, if you really want the old debugging format. There are | |
2422 | no known issues with mixing object files and libraries with different | |
2423 | debugging formats. Otherwise, this release of GCC should now match more | |
2424 | of the configuration used in the stock FreeBSD configuration of GCC. In | |
2425 | particular, @option{--enable-threads} is now configured by default. | |
2426 | However, as a general user, do not attempt to replace the system | |
2427 | compiler with this release. Known to bootstrap and check with good | |
e4e7d312 LR |
2428 | results on FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE and 5-CURRENT@. In the past, known to |
2429 | bootstrap and check with good results on FreeBSD 3.0, 3.4, 4.0, 4.2, | |
2430 | 4.3, 4.4, 4.5-STABLE@. | |
46fc709d LR |
2431 | |
2432 | In principle, @option{--enable-threads} is now compatible with | |
2433 | @option{--enable-libgcj} on FreeBSD@. However, it has only been built | |
e4e7d312 | 2434 | and tested on @samp{i386-*-freebsd[45]} and @samp{alpha-*-freebsd[45]}. |
8c085f6f | 2435 | The static |
6b976d99 LR |
2436 | library may be incorrectly built (symbols are missing at link time). |
2437 | There is a rare timing-based startup hang (probably involves an | |
c0478a66 | 2438 | assumption about the thread library). Multi-threaded boehm-gc (required for |
46fc709d | 2439 | libjava) exposes severe threaded signal-handling bugs on FreeBSD before |
e4e7d312 | 2440 | 4.5-RELEASE@. Other CPU architectures |
46fc709d LR |
2441 | supported by FreeBSD will require additional configuration tuning in, at |
2442 | the very least, both boehm-gc and libffi. | |

2532 | linker. The @samp{hppa64-hp-hpux11*} port generates 64-bit code for the |
2533 | pa-risc 2.0 architecture. The script config.guess now selects the port | |
2534 | type based on the type compiler detected during configuration. You must | |
2535 | set your @env{PATH} or define @env{CC} so that configure finds an appropriate | |

2559 | GCC 3.3 and later support weak symbols on the 32-bit port using SOM |
2560 | secondary definition symbols. This feature is not enabled for earlier | |
2561 | versions of HP-UX since there have been bugs in the linker support for | |
2562 | secondary symbols. The HP linker patches @code{PHSS_26559} and | |
2563 | @code{PHSS_24304} for HP-UX 11.00 and 11.11, respectively, correct the | |
2564 | problem of linker core dumps creating C++ libraries. Earlier patches | |
2565 | may work but they have not been tested. | |
2566 | ||
2567 | GCC 3.3 nows uses the ELF DT_INIT_ARRAY and DT_FINI_ARRAY capability | |
2568 | to run initializers and finalizers on the 64-bit port. The feature | |

2570 | to correct a problem arising from HP's non-standard use of the .init | |
2571 | and .fini sections. The 32-bit port uses the linker @option{+init} | |
2572 | and @option{+fini} options. As with the support for secondary symbols, | |
2573 | there have been bugs in the order in which these options are executed | |
2574 | by the HP linker. So, again a recent linker patch is recommended. | |
2575 | ||
2576 | The HP assembler has many limitations and is not recommended for either | |
2577 | the 32 or 64-bit ports. For example, it does not support weak symbols | |
2578 | or alias definitions. As a result, explicit template instantiations | |
f401d0f5 JDA |
2579 | are required when using C++. This will make it difficult if not |
2580 | impossible to build many C++ applications. You also can't generate | |
2581 | debugging information when using the HP assembler with GCC. | |
2582 | ||
2583 | There are a number of issues to consider in selecting which linker to | |
2584 | use with the 64-bit port. The GNU 64-bit linker can only create dynamic | |
2585 | binaries. The @option{-static} option causes linking with archive | |
2586 | libraries but doesn't produce a truly static binary. Dynamic binaries | |
2587 | still require final binding by the dynamic loader to resolve a set of | |
2588 | dynamic-loader-defined symbols. The default behavior of the HP linker | |
2589 | is the same as the GNU linker. However, it can generate true 64-bit | |
2590 | static binaries using the @option{+compat} option. | |
2591 | ||
2592 | The HP 64-bit linker doesn't support linkonce semantics. As a | |
2593 | result, C++ programs have many more sections than they should. | |
2594 | ||
2595 | The GNU 64-bit linker has some issues with shared library support | |
2596 | and exceptions. As a result, we only support libgcc in archive | |
2597 | format. For similar reasons, dwarf2 unwind and exception support | |
2598 | are disabled. The GNU linker also has problems creating binaries | |
2599 | with @option{-static}. It doesn't provide stubs for internal | |
2600 | calls to global functions in shared libraries, so these calls | |
2601 | can't be overloaded. | |
581d9404 JDA |
2602 | |
2603 | There are several possible approaches to building the distribution. | |
2604 | Binutils can be built first using the HP tools. Then, the GCC | |
2605 | distribution can be built. The second approach is to build GCC | |
2606 | first using the HP tools, then build binutils, then rebuild GCC. | |
2607 | There have been problems with various binary distributions, so | |
2608 | it is best not to start from a binary distribution. | |

2683 | Although there is support for using the native assembler, it is | |

2685 | this by using the flags | |

2915 | HP 9000 series 300 or 400 running HP-UX@. HP-UX version 8.0 has a bug in |
2916 | the assembler that prevents compilation of GCC@. This | |
b8df899a JM |
2917 | bug manifests itself during the first stage of compilation, while |
2918 | building @file{libgcc2.a}: | |
2919 | ||

2924 | ./xgcc: Internal compiler error: program as got fatal signal 11 | |
2925 | @end smallexample | |
2926 | ||
2927 | A patched version of the assembler is available as the file | |
2928 | @uref{ftp://altdorf.ai.mit.edu/archive/cph/hpux-8.0-assembler}. If you | |
2929 | have HP software support, the patch can also be obtained directly from | |
2930 | HP, as described in the following note: | |
2931 | ||
2932 | @quotation | |
2933 | This is the patched assembler, to patch SR#1653-010439, where the | |
2934 | assembler aborts on floating point constants. | |
2935 | ||
2936 | The bug is not really in the assembler, but in the shared library | |
2937 | version of the function ``cvtnum(3c)''. The bug on ``cvtnum(3c)'' is | |
2938 | SR#4701-078451. Anyway, the attached assembler uses the archive | |
2939 | library version of ``cvtnum(3c)'' and thus does not exhibit the bug. | |
2940 | @end quotation | |
2941 | ||
2942 | This patch is also known as PHCO_4484. | |
2943 | ||
41ca24de | 2944 | In addition gdb does not understand that native HP-UX format, so |
b8df899a JM |
2945 | you must use gas if you wish to use gdb. |
2946 | ||
2947 | On HP-UX version 8.05, but not on 8.07 or more recent versions, the | |
7ba4ca63 | 2948 | @command{fixproto} shell script triggers a bug in the system shell. If you |
b8df899a | 2949 | encounter this problem, upgrade your operating system or use BASH (the |
7ba4ca63 | 2950 | GNU shell) to run @command{fixproto}. This bug will cause the fixproto |
b8df899a JM |
2951 | program to report an error of the form: |
2952 | ||
2953 | @example | |
2954 | ./fixproto: sh internal 1K buffer overflow | |
2955 | @end example | |
2956 | ||
2957 | To fix this, you can also change the first line of the fixproto script | |
2958 | to look like: | |
2959 | ||
2960 | @example | |
2961 | #!/bin/ksh | |

2968 | If on a MIPS system you get an error message saying ``does not have gp |
2969 | sections for all it's [sic] sectons [sic]'', don't worry about it. This | |
2970 | happens whenever you use GAS with the MIPS linker, but there is not | |
2971 | really anything wrong, and it is okay to use the output file. You can | |
2972 | stop such warnings by installing the GNU linker. | |
2973 | ||
2974 | It would be nice to extend GAS to produce the gp tables, but they are | |
2975 | optional, and there should not be a warning about their absence. | |

2977 | The libstdc++ atomic locking routines for MIPS targets requires MIPS II |
2978 | and later. A patch went in just after the GCC 3.3 release to | |
2979 | make @samp{mips*-*-*} use the generic implementation instead. You can also | |
2980 | configure for @samp{mipsel-elf} as a workaround. The | |
2981 | @samp{mips*-*-linux*} target continues to use the MIPS II routines. More | |
2982 | work on this is expected in future releases. | |

2984 | Cross-compilers for the Mips as target using the Mips assembler |
2985 | currently do not work, because the auxiliary programs | |
2986 | @file{mips-tdump.c} and @file{mips-tfile.c} can't be compiled on | |
2987 | anything but a Mips. It does work to cross compile for a Mips | |

2998 | In order to compile GCC on an SGI running IRIX 5, the ``compiler_dev.hdr'' |
2999 | subsystem must be installed from the IDO CD-ROM supplied by Silicon | |
3000 | Graphics. It is also available for download from | |
3001 | @uref{http://www.sgi.com/developers/devtools/apis/ido.html,,http://www.sgi.com/developers/devtools/apis/ido.html}. | |
f42974dc | 3002 | |
7ba4ca63 | 3003 | @samp{make compare} may fail on version 5 of IRIX unless you add |
213ba345 RO |
3004 | @option{-save-temps} to @code{CFLAGS}. On these systems, the name of the |
3005 | assembler input file is stored in the object file, and that makes | |
3006 | comparison fail if it differs between the @code{stage1} and | |
3007 | @code{stage2} compilations. The option @option{-save-temps} forces a | |
3008 | fixed name to be used for the assembler input file, instead of a | |
3009 | randomly chosen name in @file{/tmp}. Do not add @option{-save-temps} | |
3010 | unless the comparisons fail without that option. If you do you | |
3011 | @option{-save-temps}, you will have to manually delete the @samp{.i} and | |
3012 | @samp{.s} files after each series of compilations. | |

3014 | If you use the MIPS C compiler to bootstrap, it may be necessary |

f42974dc | 3018 | |
b953cc4b | 3019 | To enable debugging under IRIX 5, you must use GNU @command{as} 2.11.2 |
f282ffb3 | 3020 | or later, |
213ba345 RO |
3021 | and use the @option{--with-gnu-as} configure option when configuring GCC. |
3022 | GNU @command{as} is distributed as part of the binutils package. | |
f282ffb3 | 3023 | When using release 2.11.2, you need to apply a patch |
b953cc4b RO |
3024 | @uref{http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2001-07/msg00352.html,,http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2001-07/msg00352.html} |

3027 | When building GCC, the build process loops rebuilding @command{cc1} over |
3028 | and over again. This happens on @samp{mips-sgi-irix5.2}, and possibly | |
3029 | other platforms. It has been reported that this is a known bug in the | |
3030 | @command{make} shipped with IRIX 5.2. We recommend you use GNU | |
3031 | @command{make} instead of the vendor supplied @command{make} program; | |
3032 | however, you may have success with @command{smake} on IRIX 5.2 if you do | |
3033 | not have GNU @command{make} available. | |

213ba345 | 3040 | If you are using IRIX @command{cc} as your bootstrap compiler, you must |
f42974dc DW |
3041 | ensure that the N32 ABI is in use. To test this, compile a simple C |
3042 | file with @command{cc} and then run @command{file} on the | |
3043 | resulting object file. The output should look like: | |
3044 | ||
3045 | @example | |
213ba345 | 3046 | test.o: ELF N32 MSB @dots{} |
f42974dc DW |
3047 | @end example |
3048 | ||
3049 | If you see: | |
213ba345 RO |
3050 | |
3051 | @example | |
3052 | test.o: ELF 32-bit MSB @dots{} | |

3055 | or | |
3056 | ||
f42974dc | 3057 | @example |
213ba345 | 3058 | test.o: ELF 64-bit MSB @dots{} |
f42974dc DW |
3059 | @end example |
3060 | ||
213ba345 | 3061 | then your version of @command{cc} uses the O32 or N64 ABI by default. You |
38209993 | 3062 | should set the environment variable @env{CC} to @samp{cc -n32} |
161d7b59 | 3063 | before configuring GCC@. |
f42974dc | 3064 | |
0fca60ab RO |
3065 | If you want the resulting @command{gcc} to run on old 32-bit systems |
3066 | with the MIPS R4400 CPU, you need to ensure that only code for the mips3 | |
3067 | instruction set architecture (ISA) is generated. While GCC 3.x does | |
3068 | this correctly, both GCC 2.95 and SGI's MIPSpro @command{cc} may change | |
3069 | the ISA depending on the machine where GCC is built. Using one of them | |
3070 | as the bootstrap compiler may result in mips4 code, which won't run at | |
3071 | all on mips3-only systems. For the test program above, you should see: | |
3072 | ||
3073 | @example | |
3074 | test.o: ELF N32 MSB mips-3 @dots{} | |
3075 | @end example | |
3076 | ||
3077 | If you get: | |
3078 | ||
3079 | @example | |
3080 | test.o: ELF N32 MSB mips-4 @dots{} | |
3081 | @end example | |
3082 | ||
3083 | instead, you should set the environment variable @env{CC} to @samp{cc | |
3084 | -n32 -mips3} or @samp{gcc -mips3} respectively before configuring GCC@. | |
3085 | ||

3086 | GCC on IRIX 6 is usually built to support both the N32 and N64 ABIs. If |
3087 | you build GCC on a system that doesn't have the N64 libraries installed, | |
3088 | you need to configure with @option{--disable-multilib} so GCC doesn't | |
3089 | try to use them. Look for @file{/usr/lib64/libc.so.1} to see if you | |
3090 | have the 64-bit libraries installed. | |
3091 | ||
3092 | You must @emph{not} use GNU @command{as} (which isn't built anyway as of | |
3093 | binutils 2.11.2) on IRIX 6 platforms; doing so will only cause problems. | |
3094 | ||
f42974dc | 3095 | GCC does not currently support generating O32 ABI binaries in the |
b953cc4b | 3096 | @samp{mips-sgi-irix6} configurations. It is possible to create a GCC |
213ba345 | 3097 | with O32 ABI only support by configuring it for the @samp{mips-sgi-irix5} |
b953cc4b RO |
3098 | target and using a patched GNU @command{as} 2.11.2 as documented in the |
3099 | @uref{#mips-sgi-irix5,,@samp{mips-sgi-irix5}} section above. Using the | |
3100 | native assembler requires patches to GCC which will be included in a | |
3101 | future release. It is | |
213ba345 | 3102 | expected that O32 ABI support will be available again in a future release. |
f42974dc | 3103 | |
b953cc4b RO |
3104 | The @option{--enable-threads} option doesn't currently work, a patch is |
3105 | in preparation for a future release. The @option{--enable-libgcj} | |
3106 | option is disabled by default: IRIX 6 uses a very low default limit | |
3107 | (20480) for the command line length. Although libtool contains a | |
3108 | workaround for this problem, at least the N64 @samp{libgcj} is known not | |
3109 | to build despite this, running into an internal error of the native | |
3110 | @command{ld}. A sure fix is to increase this limit (@samp{ncargs}) to | |
3111 | its maximum of 262144 bytes. If you have root access, you can use the | |
3112 | @command{systune} command to do this. | |
3113 | ||
f42974dc | 3114 | GCC does not correctly pass/return structures which are |
767094dd JM |
3115 | smaller than 16 bytes and which are not 8 bytes. The problem is very |
3116 | involved and difficult to fix. It affects a number of other targets also, | |
57694e40 | 3117 | but IRIX 6 is affected the most, because it is a 64-bit target, and 4 byte |
767094dd | 3118 | structures are common. The exact problem is that structures are being padded |
e979f9e8 | 3119 | at the wrong end, e.g.@: a 4 byte structure is loaded into the lower 4 bytes |
f42974dc DW |
3120 | of the register when it should be loaded into the upper 4 bytes of the |
3121 | register. | |
3122 | ||
3123 | GCC is consistent with itself, but not consistent with the SGI C compiler | |
3124 | (and the SGI supplied runtime libraries), so the only failures that can | |
3125 | happen are when there are library functions that take/return such | |
213ba345 RO |
3126 | structures. There are very few such library functions. Currently this |
3127 | is known to affect @code{inet_ntoa}, @code{inet_lnaof}, | |
46d2e8d7 RO |
3128 | @code{inet_netof}, @code{inet_makeaddr}, and @code{semctl}. Until the |
3129 | bug is fixed, GCC contains workarounds for the known affected functions. | |

3154 | The default stack limit of 512K is too small, which may cause compiles |
3155 | to fail with 'Bus error'. Set the stack larger, for instance | |
3156 | by doing @samp{limit stack 800}. It's a good idea to use the GNU | |
3157 | preprocessor instead of Apple's @file{cpp-precomp} during the first stage of | |
3158 | bootstrapping; this is automatic when doing @samp{make bootstrap}, but | |
3159 | to do it from the toplevel objdir you will need to say @samp{make | |

250d5688 | 3249 | Sun does not ship a C compiler with Solaris 2. To bootstrap and install |
dbd210ef KC |
3250 | GCC you first have to install a pre-built compiler, see our |
3251 | @uref{binaries.html,,binaries page} for details. | |
f42974dc | 3252 | |
250d5688 | 3253 | The Solaris 2 @command{/bin/sh} will often fail to configure |
92441f83 | 3254 | @file{libstdc++-v3}, @file{boehm-gc} or @file{libjava}. We therefore |
bc890961 EB |
3255 | recommend to use the following sequence of commands to bootstrap and |
3256 | install GCC: | |
3257 | ||
3258 | @smallexample | |
3259 | % CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh | |
3260 | % export CONFIG_SHELL | |
bc890961 EB |
3261 | @end smallexample |
3262 | ||
1cba0a4e PE |
3263 | and then proceed as described in @uref{build.html,,the build instructions}, |
3264 | where we strongly recommend using GNU make and specifying an absolute path | |
3265 | to invoke @var{srcdir}/configure. | |
e6855a2d | 3266 | |
b8df899a | 3267 | Solaris 2 comes with a number of optional OS packages. Some of these |
92441f83 | 3268 | are needed to use GCC fully, namely @code{SUNWarc}, |
dbd210ef KC |
3269 | @code{SUNWbtool}, @code{SUNWesu}, @code{SUNWhea}, @code{SUNWlibm}, |
3270 | @code{SUNWsprot}, and @code{SUNWtoo}. If you did not install all | |
250d5688 | 3271 | optional packages when installing Solaris 2, you will need to verify that |
b8df899a JM |
3272 | the packages that GCC needs are installed. |
3273 | ||
3274 | To check whether an optional package is installed, use | |
dbd210ef | 3275 | the @command{pkginfo} command. To add an optional package, use the |
250d5688 | 3276 | @command{pkgadd} command. For further details, see the Solaris 2 |
b8df899a JM |
3277 | documentation. |

250d5688 | 3279 | Trying to use the linker and other tools in |
b8df899a JM |
3280 | @file{/usr/ucb} to install GCC has been observed to cause trouble. |
3281 | For example, the linker may hang indefinitely. The fix is to remove | |
250d5688 | 3282 | @file{/usr/ucb} from your @env{PATH}. |
f42974dc | 3283 | |
bc890961 EB |
3284 | The build process works more smoothly with the legacy Sun tools so, if you |
3285 | have @file{/usr/xpg4/bin} in your @env{PATH}, we recommend that you place | |
3286 | @file{/usr/bin} before @file{/usr/xpg4/bin} for the duration of the build. | |

3288 | All releases of GNU binutils prior to 2.11.2 have known bugs on this |

3292 | Sun bug 4296832 turns up when compiling X11 headers with GCC 2.95 or |
3293 | newer: @command{g++} will complain that types are missing. These headers assume | |
3294 | that omitting the type means @code{int}; this assumption worked for C89 but | |
3295 | is wrong for C++, and is now wrong for C99 also. | |
3296 | ||
13ba36b4 | 3297 | @command{g++} accepts such (invalid) constructs with the option |
250d5688 RO |
3298 | @option{-fpermissive}; it |
3299 | will assume that any missing type is @code{int} (as defined by C89). | |

3301 | There are patches for Solaris 2.6 (105633-56 or newer for SPARC, | |
3302 | 106248-42 or newer for Intel), Solaris 7 (108376-21 or newer for SPARC, | |

3324 | This is Sun bug 4237974. This is fixed with patch 108908-02 for Solaris |
3325 | 2.6 and has been fixed in later (5.x) versions of the assembler, | |
3326 | starting with Solaris 7. | |

03b272d2 | 3328 | Starting with Solaris 7, the operating system is capable of executing |
975c6e4e RO |
3329 | 64-bit SPARC V9 binaries. GCC 3.1 and later properly supports |
3330 | this; the @option{-m64} option enables 64-bit code generation. | |
3331 | However, if all you want is code tuned for the UltraSPARC CPU, you | |
3332 | should try the @option{-mtune=ultrasparc} option instead, which produces | |
3333 | code that, unlike full 64-bit code, can still run on non-UltraSPARC | |
edf1c8df | 3334 | machines. |

3357 | unless you must also use Sun's C compiler. Unfortunately 107058-01 | |

3371 | and Sun's dynamic linker. This last course of action is riskiest, | |
3372 | for two reasons. First, you must install 106950 on all hosts that | |
3373 | run code generated by GCC; it doesn't suffice to install it only on | |
3374 | the hosts that run GCC itself. Second, Sun says that 106950-03 is | |
3375 | only a partial fix for bug 4210064, but Sun doesn't know whether the | |
161d7b59 | 3376 | partial fix is adequate for GCC@. Revision -08 or later should fix |

3471 | We welcome patches for other architectures supported by VxWorks 5.5. | |
3472 | Support for VxWorks AE would also be welcome; we believe this is merely | |

3479 | Choose an installation @var{prefix} entirely outside @var{$WIND_BASE}. | |
3480 | Before running @command{configure}, create the directories @file{@var{prefix}} | |
3481 | and @file{@var{prefix}/bin}. Link or copy the appropriate assembler, | |
3482 | linker, etc. into @file{@var{prefix}/bin}, and set your @var{PATH} to | |
3483 | include that directory while running both @command{configure} and | |
3484 | @command{make}. | |
3485 | ||
3486 | You must give @command{configure} the | |
3487 | @option{--with-headers=@var{$WIND_BASE}/target/h} switch so that it can | |
3488 | find the VxWorks system headers. Since VxWorks is a cross compilation | |
3489 | target only, you must also specify @option{--target=@var{target}}. | |
3490 | @command{configure} will attempt to create the directory | |
3491 | @file{@var{prefix}/@var{target}/sys-include} and copy files into it; | |
3492 | make sure the user running @command{configure} has sufficient privilege | |
3493 | to do so. | |
3494 | ||
3495 | GCC's exception handling runtime requires a special ``configlette'' | |
3496 | module, @file{contrib/gthr_supp_vxw_5x.c}. Follow the instructions in | |
3497 | that file to add the module to your kernel build. (Future versions of | |

3583 | Support for old systems as hosts for GCC can cause problems if the | |
3584 | workarounds for compiler, library and operating system bugs affect the | |
161d7b59 | 3585 | cleanliness or maintainability of the rest of GCC@. In some cases, to |
f9047ed3 JM |
3586 | bring GCC up on such a system, if still possible with current GCC, may |
3587 | require first installing an old version of GCC which did work on that | |
c7bdf0a6 ZW |
3588 | system, and using it to compile a more recent GCC, to avoid bugs in the |
3589 | vendor compiler. Old releases of GCC 1 and GCC 2 are available in the | |
3590 | @file{old-releases} directory on the @uref{../mirrors.html,,GCC mirror | |
3591 | sites}. Header bugs may generally be avoided using | |
3592 | @command{fixincludes}, but bugs or deficiencies in libraries and the | |
3593 | operating system may still cause problems. | |
3594 | ||
3595 | Support for older systems as targets for cross-compilation is less | |
3596 | problematic than support for them as hosts for GCC; if an enthusiast | |
3597 | wishes to make such a target work again (including resurrecting any of | |
3598 | the targets that never worked with GCC 2, starting from the last CVS | |
3599 | version before they were removed), patches | |
3600 | @uref{../contribute.html,,following the usual requirements} would be | |
3601 | likely to be accepted, since they should not affect the support for more | |
3602 | modern targets. | |

3604 | For some systems, old versions of GNU binutils may also be useful, | |
021c4bfd | 3605 | and are available from @file{pub/binutils/old-releases} on |
f42974dc | 3606 | @uref{http://sources.redhat.com/mirrors.html,,sources.redhat.com mirror sites}. |

3608 | Some of the information on specific systems above relates to | |
3609 | such older systems, but much of the information | |
3610 | about GCC on such systems (which may no longer be applicable to | |
f42974dc | 3611 | current GCC) is to be found in the GCC texinfo manual. |
