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., | |
7ba4ca63 | 284 | @command{pawd} or @samp{amq -w}, during the configuration and build |
b4b0fb02 RO |
285 | phases. |
286 | ||
102b60d1 GP |
287 | First, we @strong{highly} recommend that GCC be built into a |
288 | separate directory than the sources which does @strong{not} reside | |
289 | within the source tree. This is how we generally build GCC; building | |
290 | where @var{srcdir} == @var{objdir} should still work, but doesn't | |
291 | get extensive testing; building where @var{objdir} is a subdirectory | |
292 | of @var{srcdir} is unsupported. | |
f42974dc | 293 | |
eea81d3e | 294 | If you have previously built GCC in the same directory for a |
f85b8d1a | 295 | different target machine, do @samp{make distclean} to delete all files |
377dfc82 GP |
296 | that might be invalid. One of the files this deletes is @file{Makefile}; |
297 | if @samp{make distclean} complains that @file{Makefile} does not exist | |
298 | or issues a message like ``don't know how to make distclean'' it probably | |
299 | means that the directory is already suitably clean. However, with the | |
300 | recommended method of building in a separate @var{objdir}, you should | |
301 | simply use a different @var{objdir} for each target. | |
f85b8d1a | 302 | |
38209993 LG |
303 | Second, when configuring a native system, either @command{cc} or |
304 | @command{gcc} must be in your path or you must set @env{CC} in | |
df002c7d DE |
305 | your environment before running configure. Otherwise the configuration |
306 | scripts may fail. | |
f42974dc | 307 | |
eea81d3e RO |
308 | Note that the bootstrap compiler and the resulting GCC must be link |
309 | compatible, else the bootstrap will fail with linker errors about | |
310 | incompatible object file formats. Several multilibed targets are | |
e69aa433 GP |
311 | affected by this requirement, see |
312 | @ifnothtml | |
313 | @ref{Specific, host/target specific installation notes}. | |

319 | To configure GCC: |
320 | ||
321 | @example | |
38209993 LG |
322 | % mkdir @var{objdir} |
323 | % cd @var{objdir} | |

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

ef88b07d | 346 | @heading Options specification |
f42974dc | 347 | |
ef88b07d | 348 | Use @var{options} to override several configure time options for |
7ba4ca63 | 349 | GCC@. A list of supported @var{options} follows; @samp{configure |
80f9249a JM |
350 | --help} may list other options, but those not listed below may not |
351 | work and should not normally be used. | |
f42974dc | 352 | |
ef88b07d JM |
353 | @table @code |
354 | @item --prefix=@var{dirname} | |
355 | Specify the toplevel installation | |
f42974dc DW |
356 | directory. This is the recommended way to install the tools into a directory |
357 | other than the default. The toplevel installation directory defaults to | |
6cfb3f16 | 358 | @file{/usr/local}. |
f42974dc | 359 | |
38209993 | 360 | We @strong{highly} recommend against @var{dirname} being the same or a |
a7582c8c BE |
361 | subdirectory of @var{objdir} or vice versa. If specifying a directory |
362 | beneath a user's home directory tree, some shells will not expand | |
363 | @var{dirname} correctly if it contains the @samp{~} metacharacter; use | |
364 | @env{$HOME} instead. | |
f42974dc DW |
365 | |
366 | These additional options control where certain parts of the distribution | |
367 | are installed. Normally you should not need to use these options. | |

409 | @item --program-prefix=@var{prefix} |
410 | GCC supports some transformations of the names of its programs when | |
411 | installing them. This option prepends @var{prefix} to the names of | |
412 | programs to install in @var{bindir} (see above). For example, specifying | |
413 | @option{--program-prefix=foo-} would result in @samp{gcc} | |
414 | being installed as @file{/usr/local/bin/foo-gcc}. | |
415 | ||
416 | @item --program-suffix=@var{suffix} | |
417 | Appends @var{suffix} to the names of programs to install in @var{bindir} | |
418 | (see above). For example, specifying @option{--program-suffix=-3.1} | |
419 | would result in @samp{gcc} being installed as | |
420 | @file{/usr/local/bin/gcc-3.1}. | |
421 | ||
422 | @item --program-transform-name=@var{pattern} | |
423 | Applies the @samp{sed} script @var{pattern} to be applied to the names | |
424 | of programs to install in @var{bindir} (see above). @var{pattern} has to | |
425 | consist of one or more basic @samp{sed} editing commands, separated by | |
426 | semicolons. For example, if you want the @samp{gcc} program name to be | |
427 | transformed to the installed program @file{/usr/local/bin/myowngcc} and | |
428 | the @samp{g++} program name to be transformed to | |
429 | @file{/usr/local/bin/gspecial++} without changing other program names, | |
430 | you could use the pattern | |
431 | @option{--program-transform-name='s/^gcc$/myowngcc/; s/^g++$/gspecial++/'} | |
432 | to achieve this effect. | |
433 | ||
434 | All three options can be combined and used together, resulting in more | |
435 | complex conversion patterns. As a basic rule, @var{prefix} (and | |
436 | @var{suffix}) are prepended (appended) before further transformations | |
437 | can happen with a special transformation script @var{pattern}. | |
438 | ||
8c085f6f | 439 | As currently implemented, this option only takes effect for native |
b21d216c | 440 | builds; cross compiler binaries' names are not transformed even when a |
8c085f6f | 441 | transformation is explicitly asked for by one of these options. |
b21d216c AF |
442 | |
443 | For native builds, some of the installed programs are also installed | |
444 | with the target alias in front of their name, as in | |
445 | @samp{i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc}. All of the above transformations happen | |
446 | before the target alias is prepended to the name - so, specifying | |
447 | @option{--program-prefix=foo-} and @option{program-suffix=-3.1}, the | |
448 | resulting binary would be installed as | |
449 | @file{/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-foo-gcc-3.1}. | |
450 | ||
8ecab453 | 451 | As a last shortcoming, none of the installed Ada programs are |
b21d216c AF |
452 | transformed yet, which will be fixed in some time. |

454 | @item --with-local-prefix=@var{dirname} |
455 | Specify the | |
6ac48571 JM |
456 | installation directory for local include files. The default is |
457 | @file{/usr/local}. Specify this option if you want the compiler to | |
458 | search directory @file{@var{dirname}/include} for locally installed | |
459 | header files @emph{instead} of @file{/usr/local/include}. | |
460 | ||
461 | You should specify @option{--with-local-prefix} @strong{only} if your | |
462 | site has a different convention (not @file{/usr/local}) for where to put | |
463 | site-specific files. | |
464 | ||
465 | The default value for @option{--with-local-prefix} is @file{/usr/local} | |
466 | regardless of the value of @option{--prefix}. Specifying | |
467 | @option{--prefix} has no effect on which directory GCC searches for | |
468 | local header files. This may seem counterintuitive, but actually it is | |
469 | logical. | |
470 | ||
471 | The purpose of @option{--prefix} is to specify where to @emph{install | |
472 | GCC}. The local header files in @file{/usr/local/include}---if you put | |
161d7b59 | 473 | any in that directory---are not part of GCC@. They are part of other |
6ac48571 JM |
474 | programs---perhaps many others. (GCC installs its own header files in |
475 | another directory which is based on the @option{--prefix} value.) | |
476 | ||
48209ce5 JDA |
477 | Both the local-prefix include directory and the GCC-prefix include |
478 | directory are part of GCC's "system include" directories. Although these | |
479 | two directories are not fixed, they need to be searched in the proper | |
480 | order for the correct processing of the include_next directive. The | |
481 | local-prefix include directory is searched before the GCC-prefix | |
482 | include directory. Another characteristic of system include directories | |
483 | is that pedantic warnings are turned off for headers in these directories. | |
484 | ||
485 | Some autoconf macros add @option{-I @var{directory}} options to the | |
486 | compiler command line, to ensure that directories containing installed | |
487 | packages' headers are searched. When @var{directory} is one of GCC's | |
488 | system include directories, GCC will ignore the option so that system | |
489 | directories continue to be processed in the correct order. This | |
490 | may result in a search order different from what was specified but the | |
491 | directory will still be searched. | |
492 | ||
493 | GCC automatically searches for ordinary libraries using | |
494 | @env{GCC_EXEC_PREFIX}. Thus, when the same installation prefix is | |
495 | used for both GCC and packages, GCC will automatically search for | |
496 | both headers and libraries. This provides a configuration that is | |
497 | easy to use. GCC behaves in a manner similar to that when it is | |
498 | installed as a system compiler in @file{/usr}. | |
499 | ||
500 | Sites that need to install multiple versions of GCC may not want to | |
501 | use the above simple configuration. It is possible to use the | |
502 | @option{--program-prefix}, @option{--program-suffix} and | |
503 | @option{--program-transform-name} options to install multiple versions | |
504 | into a single directory, but it may be simpler to use different prefixes | |
505 | and the @option{--with-local-prefix} option to specify the location of the | |
506 | site-specific files for each version. It will then be necessary for | |
507 | users to specify explicitly the location of local site libraries | |
508 | (e.g., with @env{LIBRARY_PATH}). | |
509 | ||
510 | The same value can be used for both @option{--with-local-prefix} and | |
511 | @option{--prefix} provided it is not @file{/usr}. This can be used | |
512 | to avoid the default search of @file{/usr/local/include}. | |
513 | ||
6ac48571 JM |
514 | @strong{Do not} specify @file{/usr} as the @option{--with-local-prefix}! |
515 | The directory you use for @option{--with-local-prefix} @strong{must not} | |
516 | contain any of the system's standard header files. If it did contain | |
517 | them, certain programs would be miscompiled (including GNU Emacs, on | |
518 | certain targets), because this would override and nullify the header | |
4c64396e | 519 | file corrections made by the @command{fixincludes} script. |
6ac48571 JM |
520 | |
521 | Indications are that people who use this option use it based on mistaken | |
522 | ideas of what it is for. People use it as if it specified where to | |
161d7b59 | 523 | install part of GCC@. Perhaps they make this assumption because |
6ac48571 JM |
524 | installing GCC creates the directory. |

8c26c999 JM |
614 | On MIPS based systems and on Alphas, you must specify whether you want |
615 | GCC to create the normal ECOFF debugging format, or to use BSD-style | |
616 | stabs passed through the ECOFF symbol table. The normal ECOFF debug | |
161d7b59 JM |
617 | format cannot fully handle languages other than C@. BSD stabs format can |
618 | handle other languages, but it only works with the GNU debugger GDB@. | |
8c26c999 JM |
619 | |
620 | Normally, GCC uses the ECOFF debugging format by default; if you | |
161d7b59 | 621 | prefer BSD stabs, specify @option{--with-stabs} when you configure GCC@. |
8c26c999 JM |
622 | |
623 | No matter which default you choose when you configure GCC, the user | |
624 | can use the @option{-gcoff} and @option{-gstabs+} options to specify explicitly | |

626 | ||
627 | @option{--with-stabs} is meaningful on the ISC system on the 386, also, if | |
628 | @option{--with-gas} is used. It selects use of stabs debugging | |
629 | information embedded in COFF output. This kind of debugging information | |
630 | supports C++ well; ordinary COFF debugging information does not. | |
631 | ||
632 | @option{--with-stabs} is also meaningful on 386 systems running SVR4. It | |
633 | selects use of stabs debugging information embedded in ELF output. The | |
634 | C++ compiler currently (2.6.0) does not support the DWARF debugging | |
635 | information normally used on 386 SVR4 platforms; stabs provide a | |

763 | will try to guess whether the @code{.init_array} and | |
764 | @code{.fini_array} sections are supported and, if they are, use them. | |

ef88b07d JM |
766 | @item --enable-maintainer-mode |
767 | The build rules that | |
6cfb3f16 | 768 | regenerate the GCC master message catalog @file{gcc.pot} are normally |
767094dd JM |
769 | disabled. This is because it can only be rebuilt if the complete source |
770 | tree is present. If you have changed the sources and want to rebuild the | |
6ac48571 | 771 | catalog, configuring with @option{--enable-maintainer-mode} will enable |
767094dd | 772 | this. Note that you need a recent version of the @code{gettext} tools |
6ac48571 JM |
773 | to do so. |
774 | ||
ef88b07d JM |
775 | @item --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs |
776 | Specify | |
38209993 LG |
777 | that runtime libraries should be installed in the compiler specific |
778 | subdirectory (@file{@var{libsubdir}}) rather than the usual places. In | |
eea81d3e | 779 | addition, @samp{libstdc++}'s include files will be installed in |
38209993 | 780 | @file{@var{libsubdir}/include/g++} unless you overruled it by using |
6cfb3f16 | 781 | @option{--with-gxx-include-dir=@var{dirname}}. Using this option is |
38209993 | 782 | particularly useful if you intend to use several versions of GCC in |
eea81d3e RO |
783 | parallel. This is currently supported by @samp{libf2c} and |
784 | @samp{libstdc++}, and is the default for @samp{libobjc} which cannot be | |
785 | changed in this case. | |
38209993 | 786 | |
ef88b07d JM |
787 | @item --enable-languages=@var{lang1},@var{lang2},@dots{} |
788 | Specify that only a particular subset of compilers and | |
767094dd | 789 | their runtime libraries should be built. For a list of valid values for |
6cfb3f16 | 790 | @var{langN} you can issue the following command in the |
eea81d3e RO |
791 | @file{gcc} directory of your GCC source tree:@* |
792 | @example | |
793 | grep language= */config-lang.in | |
794 | @end example | |
795 | Currently, you can use any of the following: | |
e23381df | 796 | @code{ada}, @code{c}, @code{c++}, @code{f77}, @code{java}, @code{objc}. |
8ecab453 | 797 | Building the Ada compiler has special requirements, see below.@* |
38209993 | 798 | If you do not pass this flag, all languages available in the @file{gcc} |
6cfb3f16 | 799 | sub-tree will be configured. Re-defining @code{LANGUAGES} when calling |
ef88b07d | 800 | @samp{make bootstrap} @strong{does not} work anymore, as those |
38209993 | 801 | language sub-directories might not have been configured! |
f42974dc | 802 | |
ef88b07d JM |
803 | @item --disable-libgcj |
804 | Specify that the run-time libraries | |
f42974dc DW |
805 | used by GCJ should not be built. This is useful in case you intend |
806 | to use GCJ with some other run-time, or you're going to install it | |
807 | separately, or it just happens not to build on your particular | |
6c0a4eab | 808 | machine. In general, if the Java front end is enabled, the GCJ |
f42974dc | 809 | libraries will be enabled too, unless they're known to not work on |
eea81d3e | 810 | the target platform. If GCJ is enabled but @samp{libgcj} isn't built, you |
f42974dc | 811 | may need to port it; in this case, before modifying the top-level |
eea81d3e | 812 | @file{configure.in} so that @samp{libgcj} is enabled by default on this platform, |
f42974dc DW |
813 | you may use @option{--enable-libgcj} to override the default. |
814 | ||
ef88b07d JM |
815 | @item --with-dwarf2 |
816 | Specify that the compiler should | |

eea81d3e | 820 | @itemx --enable-win32-registry=@var{key} |
f85b8d1a | 821 | @itemx --disable-win32-registry |
6cfb3f16 | 822 | The @option{--enable-win32-registry} option enables Windows-hosted GCC |
f85b8d1a JM |
823 | to look up installations paths in the registry using the following key: |
824 | ||
825 | @smallexample | |
eea81d3e | 826 | @code{HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Free Software Foundation\@var{key}} |
f85b8d1a JM |
827 | @end smallexample |
828 | ||
eea81d3e RO |
829 | @var{key} defaults to GCC version number, and can be overridden by the |
830 | @option{--enable-win32-registry=@var{key}} option. Vendors and distributors | |
f85b8d1a JM |
831 | who use custom installers are encouraged to provide a different key, |
832 | perhaps one comprised of vendor name and GCC version number, to | |
767094dd | 833 | avoid conflict with existing installations. This feature is enabled |
6cfb3f16 | 834 | by default, and can be disabled by @option{--disable-win32-registry} |
f85b8d1a JM |
835 | option. This option has no effect on the other hosts. |

837 | @item --nfp | |
838 | Specify that the machine does not have a floating point unit. This | |
c9693e96 LH |
839 | option only applies to @samp{m68k-sun-sunos@var{n}}. On any other |
840 | system, @option{--nfp} has no effect. | |

843 | @itemx --disable-werror | |
844 | @itemx --enable-werror=yes | |
845 | @itemx --enable-werror=no | |
846 | When you specify this option, it controls whether certain files in the | |
847 | compiler are built with @option{-Werror} in bootstrap stage2 and later. | |
848 | If you don't specify it, @option{-Werror} is turned on for the main | |
849 | development trunk. However it defaults to off for release branches and | |
850 | final releases. The specific files which get @option{-Werror} are | |
851 | controlled by the Makefiles. | |
852 | ||
f85b8d1a JM |
853 | @item --enable-checking |
854 | @itemx --enable-checking=@var{list} | |
855 | When you specify this option, the compiler is built to perform checking | |
856 | of tree node types when referencing fields of that node, and some other | |
857 | internal consistency checks. This does not change the generated code, | |
858 | but adds error checking within the compiler. This will slow down the | |
859 | compiler and may only work properly if you are building the compiler | |
161d7b59 | 860 | with GCC@. This is on by default when building from CVS or snapshots, |
f85b8d1a JM |
861 | but off for releases. More control over the checks may be had by |
862 | specifying @var{list}; the categories of checks available are | |
4c76f856 JJ |
863 | @samp{misc}, @samp{tree}, @samp{gc}, @samp{rtl}, @samp{rtlflag} and |
864 | @samp{gcac}. The | |
865 | default when @var{list} is not specified is @samp{misc,tree,gc,rtlflag}; the | |
f85b8d1a JM |
866 | checks @samp{rtl} and @samp{gcac} are very expensive. |
867 | ||
22aa533e NS |
868 | @item --enable-coverage |
869 | @item --enable-coverage=@var{level} | |
870 | With this option, the compiler is built to collect self coverage | |
871 | information, every time it is run. This is for internal development | |
872 | purposes, and only works when the compiler is being built with gcc. The | |
873 | @var{level} argument controls whether the compiler is built optimized or | |
874 | not, values are @samp{opt} and @samp{noopt}. For coverage analysis you | |
875 | want to disable optimization, for performance analysis you want to | |
876 | enable optimization. When coverage is enabled, the default level is | |
877 | without optimization. | |
878 | ||
f85b8d1a JM |
879 | @item --enable-nls |
880 | @itemx --disable-nls | |
6cfb3f16 | 881 | The @option{--enable-nls} option enables Native Language Support (NLS), |
f85b8d1a | 882 | which lets GCC output diagnostics in languages other than American |
767094dd | 883 | English. Native Language Support is enabled by default if not doing a |
161d7b59 | 884 | canadian cross build. The @option{--disable-nls} option disables NLS@. |
f85b8d1a JM |
885 | |
886 | @item --with-included-gettext | |
c771326b | 887 | If NLS is enabled, the @option{--with-included-gettext} option causes the build |
021c4bfd | 888 | procedure to prefer its copy of GNU @command{gettext}. |
f85b8d1a JM |
889 | |
890 | @item --with-catgets | |
891 | If NLS is enabled, and if the host lacks @code{gettext} but has the | |
892 | inferior @code{catgets} interface, the GCC build procedure normally | |
893 | ignores @code{catgets} and instead uses GCC's copy of the GNU | |
6cfb3f16 | 894 | @code{gettext} library. The @option{--with-catgets} option causes the |
f85b8d1a | 895 | build procedure to use the host's @code{catgets} in this situation. |
80f9249a | 896 | |
5304400d CR |
897 | @item --with-libiconv-prefix=@var{dir} |

901 | @item --with-system-zlib |
902 | Use installed zlib rather than that included with GCC@. This option | |
903 | only applies if the Java front end is being built. | |
9340544b ZW |
904 | |
905 | @item --enable-obsolete | |
906 | Enable configuration for an obsoleted system. If you attempt to | |
907 | configure GCC for a system (build, host, or target) which has been | |
908 | obsoleted, and you do not specify this flag, configure will halt with an | |
909 | error message. | |
910 | ||
911 | All support for systems which have been obsoleted in one release of GCC | |
912 | is removed entirely in the next major release, unless someone steps | |

918 | @item --with-sysroot |
919 | @itemx --with-sysroot=@var{dir} | |
920 | Tells GCC to consider @var{dir} as the root of a tree that contains a | |
921 | (subset of) the root filesystem of the target operating system. | |
922 | Target system headers, libraries and run-time object files will be | |

925 | @option{--with-libs} that this option obsoletes. The default value, | |
926 | in case @option{--with-sysroot} is not given an argument, is | |
047d636f DJ |
927 | @option{$@{gcc_tooldir@}/sys-root}. If the specified directory is a |

65a824f6 JT |
934 | Specifies that target headers are available when building a cross compiler. |
935 | The @var{dir} argument specifies a directory which has the target include | |
936 | files. These include files will be copied into the @file{gcc} install | |
937 | directory. @emph{This option with the @var{dir} argument is required} when | |
938 | building a cross compiler, if @file{@var{prefix}/@var{target}/sys-include} | |
939 | doesn't pre-exist. If @file{@var{prefix}/@var{target}/sys-include} does | |
940 | pre-exist, the @var{dir} argument may be omitted. @command{fixincludes} | |

943 | @itemx --with-libs=``@var{dir1} @var{dir2} @dots{} @var{dirN}'' | |
4977bab6 | 944 | Deprecated in favor of @option{--with-sysroot}. |
38209993 LG |
945 | Specifies a list of directories which contain the target runtime |
946 | libraries. These libraries will be copied into the @file{gcc} install | |
65a824f6 JT |
947 | directory. If the directory list is omitted, this option has no |
948 | effect. | |
ef88b07d | 949 | @item --with-newlib |
eea81d3e | 950 | Specifies that @samp{newlib} is |
38209993 | 951 | being used as the target C library. This causes @code{__eprintf} to be |
eea81d3e RO |

978 | @cindex Installing GCC: Building | |
979 | ||
980 | Now that GCC is configured, you are ready to build the compiler and | |
981 | runtime libraries. | |
982 | ||
58db9d1a | 983 | We @strong{highly} recommend that GCC be built using GNU make; |
f282ffb3 | 984 | other versions may work, then again they might not. |
58db9d1a AH |
985 | GNU make is required for compiling GNAT (the Ada compiler) and the Java |
986 | runtime library. | |
f42974dc DW |
987 | |
988 | (For example, many broken versions of make will fail if you use the | |
b8df899a JM |
989 | recommended setup where @var{objdir} is different from @var{srcdir}. |
990 | Other broken versions may recompile parts of the compiler when | |
991 | installing the compiler.) | |
f42974dc | 992 | |
b8df899a | 993 | Some commands executed when making the compiler may fail (return a |
7ba4ca63 | 994 | nonzero status) and be ignored by @command{make}. These failures, which |
b8df899a JM |
995 | are often due to files that were not found, are expected, and can safely |
996 | be ignored. | |
997 | ||
998 | It is normal to have compiler warnings when compiling certain files. | |
999 | Unless you are a GCC developer, you can generally ignore these warnings | |
dd859b8a KG |
1000 | unless they cause compilation to fail. Developers should attempt to fix |
1001 | any warnings encountered, however they can temporarily continue past | |
1002 | warnings-as-errors by specifying the configure flag | |
1003 | @option{--disable-werror}. | |
b8df899a JM |
1004 | |
1005 | On certain old systems, defining certain environment variables such as | |
6cfb3f16 | 1006 | @env{CC} can interfere with the functioning of @command{make}. |
b8df899a JM |
1007 | |
1008 | If you encounter seemingly strange errors when trying to build the | |
1009 | compiler in a directory other than the source directory, it could be | |
1010 | because you have previously configured the compiler in the source | |
1011 | directory. Make sure you have done all the necessary preparations. | |
1012 | ||
1013 | If you build GCC on a BSD system using a directory stored in an old System | |
4c64396e | 1014 | V file system, problems may occur in running @command{fixincludes} if the |
b8df899a JM |
1015 | System V file system doesn't support symbolic links. These problems |
1016 | result in a failure to fix the declaration of @code{size_t} in | |
1017 | @file{sys/types.h}. If you find that @code{size_t} is a signed type and | |
1018 | that type mismatches occur, this could be the cause. | |
1019 | ||
161d7b59 | 1020 | The solution is not to use such a directory for building GCC@. |
f42974dc | 1021 | |
f85b8d1a JM |
1022 | When building from CVS or snapshots, or if you modify parser sources, |
1023 | you need the Bison parser generator installed. Any version 1.25 or | |
1024 | later should work; older versions may also work. If you do not modify | |
1025 | parser sources, releases contain the Bison-generated files and you do | |
1026 | not need Bison installed to build them. | |
1027 | ||
1028 | When building from CVS or snapshots, or if you modify Texinfo | |
a38f87a9 | 1029 | documentation, you need version 4.2 or later of Texinfo installed if you |
f85b8d1a JM |
1030 | want Info documentation to be regenerated. Releases contain Info |
1031 | documentation pre-built for the unmodified documentation in the release. | |

1034 | ||
f9047ed3 | 1035 | For a native build issue the command @samp{make bootstrap}. This |
f42974dc DW |
1036 | will build the entire GCC system, which includes the following steps: |
1037 | ||
1038 | @itemize @bullet | |
1039 | @item | |
1040 | Build host tools necessary to build the compiler such as texinfo, bison, | |
1041 | gperf. | |
1042 | ||
1043 | @item | |
1044 | Build target tools for use by the compiler such as binutils (bfd, | |
eea81d3e | 1045 | binutils, gas, gprof, ld, and opcodes) |
f282ffb3 | 1046 | if they have been individually linked |
f42974dc DW |
1047 | or moved into the top level GCC source tree before configuring. |
1048 | ||
1049 | @item | |
1050 | Perform a 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler. | |
1051 | ||
1052 | @item | |
1053 | Perform a comparison test of the stage2 and stage3 compilers. | |
1054 | ||
1055 | @item | |
1056 | Build runtime libraries using the stage3 compiler from the previous step. | |
f9047ed3 | 1057 | |
f42974dc DW |
1058 | @end itemize |
1059 | ||
38209993 LG |
1060 | If you are short on disk space you might consider @samp{make |
1061 | bootstrap-lean} instead. This is identical to @samp{make | |
1062 | bootstrap} except that object files from the stage1 and | |
f42974dc DW |
1063 | stage2 of the 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler are deleted as |
1064 | soon as they are no longer needed. | |
1065 | ||
f42974dc DW |
1066 | If you want to save additional space during the bootstrap and in |
1067 | the final installation as well, you can build the compiler binaries | |
8c085f6f | 1068 | without debugging information as in the following example. This will save |
f42974dc DW |
1069 | roughly 40% of disk space both for the bootstrap and the final installation. |
1070 | (Libraries will still contain debugging information.) | |
1071 | ||
8c085f6f JJ |
1072 | @example |
1073 | make CFLAGS='-O' LIBCFLAGS='-g -O2' \ | |
1074 | LIBCXXFLAGS='-g -O2 -fno-implicit-templates' bootstrap | |
1075 | @end example | |
1076 | ||
eea81d3e RO |
1077 | If you wish to use non-default GCC flags when compiling the stage2 and |
1078 | stage3 compilers, set @code{BOOT_CFLAGS} on the command line when doing | |
f85b8d1a JM |
1079 | @samp{make bootstrap}. Non-default optimization flags are less well |
1080 | tested here than the default of @samp{-g -O2}, but should still work. | |
1081 | In a few cases, you may find that you need to specify special flags such | |
1082 | as @option{-msoft-float} here to complete the bootstrap; or, if the | |
1083 | native compiler miscompiles the stage1 compiler, you may need to work | |
1084 | around this, by choosing @code{BOOT_CFLAGS} to avoid the parts of the | |
1085 | stage1 compiler that were miscompiled, or by using @samp{make | |
1086 | bootstrap4} to increase the number of stages of bootstrap. | |
1087 | ||
6cfb3f16 | 1088 | If you used the flag @option{--enable-languages=@dots{}} to restrict |
f42974dc | 1089 | the compilers to be built, only those you've actually enabled will be |
767094dd | 1090 | built. This will of course only build those runtime libraries, for |
f42974dc | 1091 | which the particular compiler has been built. Please note, |
eea81d3e | 1092 | that re-defining @env{LANGUAGES} when calling @samp{make bootstrap} |
ef88b07d | 1093 | @strong{does not} work anymore! |
f42974dc | 1094 | |
f85b8d1a | 1095 | If the comparison of stage2 and stage3 fails, this normally indicates |
eea81d3e | 1096 | that the stage2 compiler has compiled GCC incorrectly, and is therefore |
f85b8d1a JM |
1097 | a potentially serious bug which you should investigate and report. (On |
1098 | a few systems, meaningful comparison of object files is impossible; they | |
1099 | always appear ``different''. If you encounter this problem, you will | |
1100 | need to disable comparison in the @file{Makefile}.) | |

1109 | 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler. This makes for an interesting problem | |
161d7b59 | 1110 | as parts of GCC can only be built with GCC@. |
f42974dc DW |
1111 | |
1112 | To build a cross compiler, we first recommend building and installing a | |
1113 | native compiler. You can then use the native GCC compiler to build the | |
635771af JM |
1114 | cross compiler. The installed native compiler needs to be GCC version |
1115 | 2.95 or later. | |
f42974dc DW |
1116 | |
1117 | Assuming you have already installed a native copy of GCC and configured | |
6cfb3f16 | 1118 | your cross compiler, issue the command @command{make}, which performs the |
f42974dc DW |
1119 | following steps: |
1120 | ||
1121 | @itemize @bullet | |
1122 | @item | |
1123 | Build host tools necessary to build the compiler such as texinfo, bison, | |
1124 | gperf. | |
1125 | ||
1126 | @item | |
1127 | Build target tools for use by the compiler such as binutils (bfd, | |
1128 | binutils, gas, gprof, ld, and opcodes) | |
1129 | if they have been individually linked or moved into the top level GCC source | |
1130 | tree before configuring. | |
1131 | ||
1132 | @item | |
1133 | Build the compiler (single stage only). | |
1134 | ||
1135 | @item | |
1136 | Build runtime libraries using the compiler from the previous step. | |
1137 | @end itemize | |
1138 | ||
1139 | Note that if an error occurs in any step the make process will exit. | |
1140 | ||
1141 | @section Building in parallel | |

38209993 LG |
1143 | If you have a multiprocessor system you can use @samp{make bootstrap |
1144 | MAKE="make -j 2" -j 2} or just @samp{make -j 2 bootstrap} | |
1145 | for GNU Make 3.79 and above instead of just @samp{make bootstrap} | |
161d7b59 | 1146 | when building GCC@. You can use a bigger number instead of two if |
f42974dc DW |
1147 | you like. In most cases, it won't help to use a number bigger than |
1148 | the number of processors in your machine. | |
1149 | ||
e23381df GB |
1150 | @section Building the Ada compiler |
1151 | ||
1152 | In order to build GNAT, the Ada compiler, you need a working GNAT | |
3e98a119 | 1153 | compiler (GNAT version 3.14 or later, or GCC version 3.1 or later), |
38e23049 | 1154 | since the Ada front end is written in Ada (with some |
e23381df GB |
1155 | GNAT-specific extensions), and GNU make. |
1156 | ||
1157 | However, you do not need a full installation of GNAT, just the GNAT | |
1158 | binary @file{gnat1}, a copy of @file{gnatbind}, and a compiler driver | |
1159 | which can deal with Ada input (by invoking the @file{gnat1} binary). | |
1160 | You can specify this compiler driver by setting the @env{ADAC} | |
1161 | environment variable at the configure step. @command{configure} can | |
1162 | detect the driver automatically if it has got a common name such as | |
1163 | @command{gcc} or @command{gnatgcc}. Of course, you still need a working | |
1164 | C compiler (the compiler driver can be different or not). | |
38e23049 JM |
1165 | @command{configure} does not test whether the GNAT installation works |
1166 | and has a sufficiently recent version; if too old a GNAT version is | |
1167 | installed, the build will fail unless @option{--enable-languages} is | |
1168 | used to disable building the Ada front end. | |
e23381df GB |
1169 | |
1170 | Additional build tools (such as @command{gnatmake}) or a working GNAT | |
1171 | run-time library installation are usually @emph{not} required. However, | |
9026a957 | 1172 | if you want to bootstrap the compiler using a minimal version of GNAT, |
e23381df | 1173 | you have to issue the following commands before invoking @samp{make |
9026a957 | 1174 | bootstrap} (this assumes that you start with an unmodified and consistent |
e23381df GB |
1175 | source distribution): |
1176 | ||
1177 | @example | |
1178 | cd @var{srcdir}/gcc/ada | |
1179 | touch treeprs.ads [es]info.h nmake.ad[bs] | |
1180 | @end example | |
1181 | ||
1182 | At the moment, the GNAT library and several tools for GNAT are not built | |
f282ffb3 | 1183 | by @samp{make bootstrap}. You have to invoke |
e23381df GB |
1184 | @samp{make gnatlib_and_tools} in the @file{@var{objdir}/gcc} |
1185 | subdirectory before proceeding with the next steps. | |
1186 | ||
1187 | For example, you can build a native Ada compiler by issuing the | |
1188 | following commands (assuming @command{make} is GNU make): | |
1189 | ||
1190 | @example | |
1191 | cd @var{objdir} | |
f282ffb3 | 1192 | @var{srcdir}/configure --enable-languages=c,ada |
e23381df GB |
1193 | cd @var{srcdir}/gcc/ada |
1194 | touch treeprs.ads [es]info.h nmake.ad[bs] | |
f282ffb3 | 1195 | cd @var{objdir} |
e23381df GB |
1196 | make bootstrap |
1197 | cd gcc | |
1198 | make gnatlib_and_tools | |
1199 | cd .. | |
1200 | @end example | |
1201 | ||
1202 | Currently, when compiling the Ada front end, you cannot use the parallel | |
1203 | build feature described in the previous section. | |

f97903cc JJ |
1227 | Before you install GCC, we encourage you to run the testsuites and to |
1228 | compare your results with results from a similar configuration that have | |
1229 | been submitted to the | |
1230 | @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/,,gcc-testresults mailing list}. | |
05253aed JJ |
1231 | Some of these archived results are linked from the build status lists |
1232 | at @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html}, although not everyone who | |
1233 | reports a successful build runs the testsuites and submits the results. | |
f97903cc JJ |
1234 | This step is optional and may require you to download additional software, |
1235 | but it can give you confidence in your new GCC installation or point out | |
1236 | problems before you install and start using your new GCC. | |
f42974dc | 1237 | |
f9047ed3 | 1238 | First, you must have @uref{download.html,,downloaded the testsuites}. |
f97903cc JJ |
1239 | These are part of the full distribution, but if you downloaded the |
1240 | ``core'' compiler plus any front ends, you must download the testsuites | |
1241 | separately. | |
f42974dc | 1242 | |
f97903cc | 1243 | Second, you must have the testing tools installed. This includes |
8cacda7c GP |
1244 | @uref{http://www.gnu.org/software/dejagnu/,,DejaGnu} 1.4.2 (or later), |
1245 | Tcl, and Expect; the DejaGnu site has links to these. | |
f42974dc | 1246 | |
8cacda7c GP |
1247 | If the directories where @command{runtest} and @command{expect} were |
1248 | installed are not in the @env{PATH}, you may need to set the following | |
1249 | environment variables appropriately, as in the following example (which | |
1250 | assumes that DejaGnu has been installed under @file{/usr/local}): | |
f42974dc DW |
1251 | |
1252 | @example | |
1253 | TCL_LIBRARY = /usr/local/share/tcl8.0 | |
1254 | DEJAGNULIBS = /usr/local/share/dejagnu | |
1255 | @end example | |
1256 | ||
8cacda7c | 1257 | (On systems such as Cygwin, these paths are required to be actual |
f42974dc | 1258 | paths, not mounts or links; presumably this is due to some lack of |
8cacda7c | 1259 | portability in the DejaGnu code.) |
ecb7d6b3 | 1260 | |
f42974dc DW |
1261 | |
1262 | Finally, you can run the testsuite (which may take a long time): | |
1263 | @example | |
ef88b07d | 1264 | cd @var{objdir}; make -k check |
f42974dc DW |
1265 | @end example |
1266 | ||
794aca5d WB |
1267 | This will test various components of GCC, such as compiler |
1268 | front ends and runtime libraries. While running the testsuite, DejaGnu | |
1269 | might emit some harmless messages resembling | |
06809951 | 1270 | @samp{WARNING: Couldn't find the global config file.} or |
794aca5d | 1271 | @samp{WARNING: Couldn't find tool init file} that can be ignored. |
06809951 | 1272 | |
f42974dc DW |
1273 | @section How can I run the test suite on selected tests? |
1274 | ||
794aca5d WB |
1275 | In order to run sets of tests selectively, there are targets |
1276 | @samp{make check-gcc} and @samp{make check-g++} | |
1277 | in the @file{gcc} subdirectory of the object directory. You can also | |
1278 | just run @samp{make check} in a subdirectory of the object directory. | |
1279 | ||
1280 | ||
1281 | A more selective way to just run all @command{gcc} execute tests in the | |
1282 | testsuite is to use | |
f42974dc DW |
1283 | |
1284 | @example | |
6cfb3f16 | 1285 | make check-gcc RUNTESTFLAGS="execute.exp @var{other-options}" |
f42974dc DW |
1286 | @end example |
1287 | ||
794aca5d WB |
1288 | Likewise, in order to run only the @command{g++} ``old-deja'' tests in |
1289 | the testsuite with filenames matching @samp{9805*}, you would use | |
f42974dc DW |
1290 | |
1291 | @example | |
6cfb3f16 | 1292 | make check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="old-deja.exp=9805* @var{other-options}" |
f42974dc DW |
1293 | @end example |
1294 | ||
6cfb3f16 JM |
1295 | The @file{*.exp} files are located in the testsuite directories of the GCC |
1296 | source, the most important ones being @file{compile.exp}, | |
1297 | @file{execute.exp}, @file{dg.exp} and @file{old-deja.exp}. | |
1298 | To get a list of the possible @file{*.exp} files, pipe the | |
38209993 | 1299 | output of @samp{make check} into a file and look at the |
6cfb3f16 | 1300 | @samp{Running @dots{} .exp} lines. |

1384 | Now that GCC has been built (and optionally tested), you can install it with |
1385 | @example | |
1386 | cd @var{objdir}; make install | |
1387 | @end example | |
f42974dc | 1388 | |
06809951 GP |
1389 | We strongly recommend to install into a target directory where there is |
1390 | no previous version of GCC present. | |
1391 | ||
f42974dc | 1392 | That step completes the installation of GCC; user level binaries can |
38209993 LG |
1393 | be found in @file{@var{prefix}/bin} where @var{prefix} is the value you |
1394 | specified with the @option{--prefix} to configure (or @file{/usr/local} | |
ab130aa5 JM |
1395 | by default). (If you specified @option{--bindir}, that directory will |
1396 | be used instead; otherwise, if you specified @option{--exec-prefix}, | |
1397 | @file{@var{exec-prefix}/bin} will be used.) Headers for the C++ and | |
1398 | Java libraries are installed in @file{@var{prefix}/include}; libraries | |
1399 | in @file{@var{libdir}} (normally @file{@var{prefix}/lib}); internal | |
1400 | parts of the compiler in @file{@var{libdir}/gcc-lib}; documentation in | |
1401 | info format in @file{@var{infodir}} (normally @file{@var{prefix}/info}). | |
f42974dc | 1402 | |
53b50ac1 CC |
1403 | When installing cross-compilers, GCC's executables |
1404 | are not only installed into @file{@var{bindir}}, that | |
1405 | is, @file{@var{exec-prefix}/bin}, but additionally into | |
1406 | @file{@var{exec-prefix}/@var{target-alias}/bin}, if that directory | |
1407 | exists. Typically, such @dfn{tooldirs} hold target-specific | |
1408 | binutils, including assembler and linker. | |
1409 | ||
1410 | Installation into a temporary staging area or into a @command{chroot} | |
1411 | jail can be achieved with the command | |
1412 | ||
1413 | @example | |
1414 | make DESTDIR=@var{path-to-rootdir} install | |
1415 | @end example | |
1416 | ||
1417 | @noindent where @var{path-to-rootdir} is the absolute path of | |
1418 | a directory relative to which all installation paths will be | |
1419 | interpreted. Note that the directory specified by @code{DESTDIR} | |
1420 | need not exist yet; it will be created if necessary. | |
1421 | ||
1422 | There is a subtle point with tooldirs and @code{DESTDIR}: | |
1423 | If you relocate a cross-compiler installation with | |
1424 | e.g.@: @samp{DESTDIR=@var{rootdir}}, then the directory | |
1425 | @file{@var{rootdir}/@var{exec-prefix}/@var{target-alias}/bin} will | |
1426 | be filled with duplicated GCC executables only if it already exists, | |
1427 | it will not be created otherwise. This is regarded as a feature, | |
1428 | not as a bug, because it gives slightly more control to the packagers | |
1429 | using the @code{DESTDIR} feature. | |
1430 | ||

ab130aa5 | 1496 | If you want to print the GCC manuals, do @samp{cd @var{objdir}; make |
a38f87a9 | 1497 | dvi}. You will need to have @command{texi2dvi} (version at least 4.2) |
ab130aa5 JM |
1498 | and @TeX{} installed. This creates a number of @file{.dvi} files in |
1499 | subdirectories of @file{@var{objdir}}; these may be converted for | |
1500 | printing with programs such as @command{dvips}. You can also | |
1501 | @uref{http://www.gnu.org/order/order.html,,buy printed manuals from the | |
1502 | Free Software Foundation}, though such manuals may not be for the most | |

b8df899a | 1791 | Systems using processors that implement the DEC Alpha architecture and |
f2541106 RO |
1792 | are running the DEC/Compaq Unix (DEC OSF/1, Digital UNIX, or Compaq |
1793 | Tru64 UNIX) operating system, for example the DEC Alpha AXP systems. | |
1794 | ||
c7bdf0a6 ZW |
1795 | As of GCC 3.2, versions before @code{alpha*-dec-osf4} are no longer |

6e92b3a1 RB |
1799 | In Digital Unix V4.0, virtual memory exhausted bootstrap failures |
1800 | may be fixed by configuring with @option{--with-gc=simple}, | |
1801 | reconfiguring Kernel Virtual Memory and Swap parameters | |
1802 | per the @command{/usr/sbin/sys_check} Tuning Suggestions, | |
1803 | or applying the patch in | |
1804 | @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-08/msg00822.html}. | |
1805 | ||
f2541106 RO |
1806 | In Tru64 UNIX V5.1, Compaq introduced a new assembler that does not |
1807 | currently (2001-06-13) work with @command{mips-tfile}. As a workaround, | |
1808 | we need to use the old assembler, invoked via the barely documented | |
1809 | @option{-oldas} option. To bootstrap GCC, you either need to use the | |
1810 | Compaq C Compiler: | |
1811 | ||
1812 | @example | |
eea81d3e | 1813 | % CC=cc @var{srcdir}/configure [@var{options}] [@var{target}] |
f2541106 RO |
1814 | @end example |
1815 | ||
1816 | or you can use a copy of GCC 2.95.3 or higher built on Tru64 UNIX V4.0: | |
1817 | ||
1818 | @example | |
eea81d3e | 1819 | % CC=gcc -Wa,-oldas @var{srcdir}/configure [@var{options}] [@var{target}] |
f2541106 | 1820 | @end example |
b8df899a | 1821 | |
b953cc4b RO |
1822 | As of GNU binutils 2.11.2, neither GNU @command{as} nor GNU @command{ld} |
1823 | are supported on Tru64 UNIX, so you must not configure GCC with | |
1824 | @option{--with-gnu-as} or @option{--with-gnu-ld}. | |
1825 | ||
1826 | The @option{--enable-threads} options isn't supported yet. A patch is | |
18b467f1 | 1827 | in preparation for a future release. |
b953cc4b | 1828 | |
f0523f02 | 1829 | GCC writes a @samp{.verstamp} directive to the assembler output file |
b8df899a JM |
1830 | unless it is built as a cross-compiler. It gets the version to use from |
1831 | the system header file @file{/usr/include/stamp.h}. If you install a | |
1832 | new version of DEC Unix, you should rebuild GCC to pick up the new version | |
1833 | stamp. | |
1834 | ||
1835 | Note that since the Alpha is a 64-bit architecture, cross-compilers from | |
1836 | 32-bit machines will not generate code as efficient as that generated | |
1837 | when the compiler is running on a 64-bit machine because many | |
1838 | optimizations that depend on being able to represent a word on the | |
1839 | target in an integral value on the host cannot be performed. Building | |
1840 | cross-compilers on the Alpha for 32-bit machines has only been tested in | |
1841 | a few cases and may not work properly. | |
1842 | ||
7ba4ca63 | 1843 | @samp{make compare} may fail on old versions of DEC Unix unless you add |
6cfb3f16 | 1844 | @option{-save-temps} to @code{CFLAGS}. On these systems, the name of the |
b8df899a JM |
1845 | assembler input file is stored in the object file, and that makes |
1846 | comparison fail if it differs between the @code{stage1} and | |
6cfb3f16 | 1847 | @code{stage2} compilations. The option @option{-save-temps} forces a |
b8df899a | 1848 | fixed name to be used for the assembler input file, instead of a |
6cfb3f16 | 1849 | randomly chosen name in @file{/tmp}. Do not add @option{-save-temps} |
b8df899a | 1850 | unless the comparisons fail without that option. If you add |
6cfb3f16 | 1851 | @option{-save-temps}, you will have to manually delete the @samp{.i} and |
b8df899a JM |
1852 | @samp{.s} files after each series of compilations. |
1853 | ||
f0523f02 | 1854 | GCC now supports both the native (ECOFF) debugging format used by DBX |
161d7b59 | 1855 | and GDB and an encapsulated STABS format for use only with GDB@. See the |
6cfb3f16 | 1856 | discussion of the @option{--with-stabs} option of @file{configure} above |
b8df899a JM |
1857 | for more information on these formats and how to select them. |
1858 | ||
1859 | There is a bug in DEC's assembler that produces incorrect line numbers | |
1860 | for ECOFF format when the @samp{.align} directive is used. To work | |
f0523f02 | 1861 | around this problem, GCC will not emit such alignment directives |
b8df899a JM |
1862 | while writing ECOFF format debugging information even if optimization is |
1863 | being performed. Unfortunately, this has the very undesirable | |
6cfb3f16 JM |
1864 | side-effect that code addresses when @option{-O} is specified are |
1865 | different depending on whether or not @option{-g} is also specified. | |
b8df899a | 1866 | |
6cfb3f16 | 1867 | To avoid this behavior, specify @option{-gstabs+} and use GDB instead of |
161d7b59 | 1868 | DBX@. DEC is now aware of this problem with the assembler and hopes to |
b8df899a JM |
1869 | provide a fix shortly. |

1877 | This port is incomplete and has many known bugs. We hope to improve the | |
1878 | support for this target soon. Currently, only the C front end is supported, | |
1879 | and it is not possible to build parallel applications. Cray modules are not | |
1880 | supported; in particular, Craylibs are assumed to be in | |
1881 | @file{/opt/ctl/craylibs/craylibs}. | |
1882 | ||
1883 | You absolutely @strong{must} use GNU make on this platform. Also, you | |
1884 | need to tell GCC where to find the assembler and the linker. The | |
1885 | simplest way to do so is by providing @option{--with-as} and | |
1886 | @option{--with-ld} to @file{configure}, e.g.@: | |
1887 | ||
8c085f6f JJ |
1888 | @example |
1889 | configure --with-as=/opt/ctl/bin/cam --with-ld=/opt/ctl/bin/cld \ | |
1890 | --enable-languages=c | |
1891 | @end example | |
71b96724 RL |
1892 | |
1893 | The comparison test during @samp{make bootstrap} fails on Unicos/Mk | |
1894 | because the assembler inserts timestamps into object files. You should | |
1895 | be able to work around this by doing @samp{make all} after getting this | |
1896 | failure. | |

2055 | For FreeBSD using the ELF file format: DWARF 2 debugging is now the | |
2056 | default for all CPU architectures. It had been the default on | |
2057 | FreeBSD/alpha since its inception. You may use @option{-gstabs} instead | |
2058 | of @option{-g}, if you really want the old debugging format. There are | |
2059 | no known issues with mixing object files and libraries with different | |
2060 | debugging formats. Otherwise, this release of GCC should now match more | |
2061 | of the configuration used in the stock FreeBSD configuration of GCC. In | |
2062 | particular, @option{--enable-threads} is now configured by default. | |
2063 | However, as a general user, do not attempt to replace the system | |
2064 | compiler with this release. Known to bootstrap and check with good | |

2065 | results on FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE and 5-CURRENT@. In the past, known to |

2068 | |
2069 | In principle, @option{--enable-threads} is now compatible with | |

2179 | link commands. Thus, it's not possible to switch linkers during a | |
2180 | GCC build. This has been been reported to occur in a unified build | |
2181 | of binutils and GCC. | |

2196 | GCC 3.3 and later support weak symbols on the 32-bit port using SOM |
2197 | secondary definition symbols. This feature is not enabled for earlier | |
2198 | versions of HP-UX since there have been bugs in the linker support for | |
2199 | secondary symbols. The HP linker patches @code{PHSS_26559} and | |
2200 | @code{PHSS_24304} for HP-UX 11.00 and 11.11, respectively, correct the | |
2201 | problem of linker core dumps creating C++ libraries. Earlier patches | |
2202 | may work but they have not been tested. | |
2203 | ||
2204 | GCC 3.3 nows uses the ELF DT_INIT_ARRAY and DT_FINI_ARRAY capability | |
2205 | to run initializers and finalizers on the 64-bit port. The feature | |
2206 | requires CVS binutils as of January 2, 2003, or a subsequent release | |
2207 | to correct a problem arising from HP's non-standard use of the .init | |
2208 | and .fini sections. The 32-bit port uses the linker @option{+init} | |
2209 | and @option{+fini} options. As with the support for secondary symbols, | |
2210 | there have been bugs in the order in which these options are executed | |
2211 | by the HP linker. So, again a recent linker patch is recommended. | |
2212 | ||
2213 | The HP assembler has many limitations and is not recommended for either | |
2214 | the 32 or 64-bit ports. For example, it does not support weak symbols | |
2215 | or alias definitions. As a result, explicit template instantiations | |
f401d0f5 JDA |
2216 | are required when using C++. This will make it difficult if not |
2217 | impossible to build many C++ applications. You also can't generate | |
2218 | debugging information when using the HP assembler with GCC. | |
2219 | ||
2220 | There are a number of issues to consider in selecting which linker to | |
2221 | use with the 64-bit port. The GNU 64-bit linker can only create dynamic | |
2222 | binaries. The @option{-static} option causes linking with archive | |
2223 | libraries but doesn't produce a truly static binary. Dynamic binaries | |
2224 | still require final binding by the dynamic loader to resolve a set of | |
2225 | dynamic-loader-defined symbols. The default behavior of the HP linker | |
2226 | is the same as the GNU linker. However, it can generate true 64-bit | |
2227 | static binaries using the @option{+compat} option. | |
2228 | ||
2229 | The HP 64-bit linker doesn't support linkonce semantics. As a | |
2230 | result, C++ programs have many more sections than they should. | |
2231 | ||
2232 | The GNU 64-bit linker has some issues with shared library support | |
2233 | and exceptions. As a result, we only support libgcc in archive | |
2234 | format. For similar reasons, dwarf2 unwind and exception support | |
2235 | are disabled. The GNU linker also has problems creating binaries | |
2236 | with @option{-static}. It doesn't provide stubs for internal | |
2237 | calls to global functions in shared libraries, so these calls | |
2238 | can't be overloaded. | |
581d9404 JDA |
2239 | |
2240 | There are several possible approaches to building the distribution. | |
2241 | Binutils can be built first using the HP tools. Then, the GCC | |
2242 | distribution can be built. The second approach is to build GCC | |
2243 | first using the HP tools, then build binutils, then rebuild GCC. | |
2244 | There have been problems with various binary distributions, so | |
2245 | it is best not to start from a binary distribution. | |
2246 | ||
2aea0b53 ZW |
2247 | Starting with GCC 3.4 an ISO C compiler is required to bootstrap. |
2248 | The bundled compiler supports only traditional C; you will need | |
2249 | either HP's unbundled compiler, or a binary distribution of GCC@. | |

2336 | assemblers, as well as updated standard C and math libraries. The C | |
2337 | startup modules are also updated to support the System V gABI draft, and | |
2338 | GCC relies on that behaviour. OSS631 provides a collection of commonly | |
2339 | used open source libraries, some of which GCC depends on (such as GNU | |
2340 | gettext and zlib). SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.7 has all of this built | |

f42974dc DW |
2376 | building a cross compiler. The easiest way to do this is with a configure |
2377 | command like this: | |
2378 | ||

2380 | CC=/udk/usr/ccs/bin/cc @var{/your/path/to}/gcc/configure \ | |

2580 | HP, as described in the following note: | |
2581 | ||
2582 | @quotation | |
2583 | This is the patched assembler, to patch SR#1653-010439, where the | |
2584 | assembler aborts on floating point constants. | |
2585 | ||
2586 | The bug is not really in the assembler, but in the shared library | |
2587 | version of the function ``cvtnum(3c)''. The bug on ``cvtnum(3c)'' is | |
2588 | SR#4701-078451. Anyway, the attached assembler uses the archive | |
2589 | library version of ``cvtnum(3c)'' and thus does not exhibit the bug. | |
2590 | @end quotation | |

2592 | This patch is also known as PHCO_4484. | |

021c4bfd | 2594 | In addition, if you wish to use gas, you must use |
b8df899a JM |
2595 | gas version 2.1 or later, and you must use the GNU linker version 2.1 or |
2596 | later. Earlier versions of gas relied upon a program which converted the | |
2597 | gas output into the native HP-UX format, but that program has not been | |
2598 | kept up to date. gdb does not understand that native HP-UX format, so | |
2599 | you must use gas if you wish to use gdb. | |
2600 | ||
2601 | On HP-UX version 8.05, but not on 8.07 or more recent versions, the | |
7ba4ca63 | 2602 | @command{fixproto} shell script triggers a bug in the system shell. If you |
b8df899a | 2603 | encounter this problem, upgrade your operating system or use BASH (the |
7ba4ca63 | 2604 | GNU shell) to run @command{fixproto}. This bug will cause the fixproto |

2608 | ./fixproto: sh internal 1K buffer overflow | |

2646 | In order to compile GCC on an SGI running IRIX 5, the ``compiler_dev.hdr'' |

7ba4ca63 | 2651 | @samp{make compare} may fail on version 5 of IRIX unless you add |
213ba345 RO |
2652 | @option{-save-temps} to @code{CFLAGS}. On these systems, the name of the |
2653 | assembler input file is stored in the object file, and that makes | |
2654 | comparison fail if it differs between the @code{stage1} and | |
2655 | @code{stage2} compilations. The option @option{-save-temps} forces a | |
2656 | fixed name to be used for the assembler input file, instead of a | |
2657 | randomly chosen name in @file{/tmp}. Do not add @option{-save-temps} | |
2658 | unless the comparisons fail without that option. If you do you | |
2659 | @option{-save-temps}, you will have to manually delete the @samp{.i} and | |
2660 | @samp{.s} files after each series of compilations. | |

213ba345 RO |
2669 | and use the @option{--with-gnu-as} configure option when configuring GCC. |
2670 | GNU @command{as} is distributed as part of the binutils package. | |
f282ffb3 | 2671 | When using release 2.11.2, you need to apply a patch |

213ba345 | 2688 | If you are using IRIX @command{cc} as your bootstrap compiler, you must |
f42974dc DW |
2689 | ensure that the N32 ABI is in use. To test this, compile a simple C |
2690 | file with @command{cc} and then run @command{file} on the | |
2691 | resulting object file. The output should look like: | |
2692 | ||

f42974dc DW |
2707 | @end example |
2708 | ||
213ba345 | 2709 | then your version of @command{cc} uses the O32 or N64 ABI by default. You |
38209993 | 2710 | should set the environment variable @env{CC} to @samp{cc -n32} |
161d7b59 | 2711 | before configuring GCC@. |

0fca60ab RO |
2713 | If you want the resulting @command{gcc} to run on old 32-bit systems |
2714 | with the MIPS R4400 CPU, you need to ensure that only code for the mips3 | |
2715 | instruction set architecture (ISA) is generated. While GCC 3.x does | |
2716 | this correctly, both GCC 2.95 and SGI's MIPSpro @command{cc} may change | |
2717 | the ISA depending on the machine where GCC is built. Using one of them | |
2718 | as the bootstrap compiler may result in mips4 code, which won't run at | |
2719 | all on mips3-only systems. For the test program above, you should see: | |
2720 | ||
2721 | @example | |
2722 | test.o: ELF N32 MSB mips-3 @dots{} | |
2723 | @end example | |

2730 | ||
2731 | instead, you should set the environment variable @env{CC} to @samp{cc | |
2732 | -n32 -mips3} or @samp{gcc -mips3} respectively before configuring GCC@. | |

2734 | GCC on IRIX 6 is usually built to support both the N32 and N64 ABIs. If |
2735 | you build GCC on a system that doesn't have the N64 libraries installed, | |
2736 | you need to configure with @option{--disable-multilib} so GCC doesn't | |
2737 | try to use them. Look for @file{/usr/lib64/libc.so.1} to see if you | |
2738 | have the 64-bit libraries installed. | |
2739 | ||
2740 | You must @emph{not} use GNU @command{as} (which isn't built anyway as of | |
2741 | binutils 2.11.2) on IRIX 6 platforms; doing so will only cause problems. | |
2742 | ||
f42974dc | 2743 | GCC does not currently support generating O32 ABI binaries in the |
b953cc4b | 2744 | @samp{mips-sgi-irix6} configurations. It is possible to create a GCC |
213ba345 | 2745 | with O32 ABI only support by configuring it for the @samp{mips-sgi-irix5} |
b953cc4b RO |
2746 | target and using a patched GNU @command{as} 2.11.2 as documented in the |
2747 | @uref{#mips-sgi-irix5,,@samp{mips-sgi-irix5}} section above. Using the | |
2748 | native assembler requires patches to GCC which will be included in a | |
2749 | future release. It is | |

2752 | The @option{--enable-threads} option doesn't currently work, a patch is |
2753 | in preparation for a future release. The @option{--enable-libgcj} | |
2754 | option is disabled by default: IRIX 6 uses a very low default limit | |
2755 | (20480) for the command line length. Although libtool contains a | |
2756 | workaround for this problem, at least the N64 @samp{libgcj} is known not | |
2757 | to build despite this, running into an internal error of the native | |
2758 | @command{ld}. A sure fix is to increase this limit (@samp{ncargs}) to | |
2759 | its maximum of 262144 bytes. If you have root access, you can use the | |
2760 | @command{systune} command to do this. | |
2761 | ||
f42974dc | 2762 | GCC does not correctly pass/return structures which are |
767094dd JM |
2763 | smaller than 16 bytes and which are not 8 bytes. The problem is very |
2764 | involved and difficult to fix. It affects a number of other targets also, | |
57694e40 | 2765 | but IRIX 6 is affected the most, because it is a 64-bit target, and 4 byte |
767094dd | 2766 | structures are common. The exact problem is that structures are being padded |
e979f9e8 | 2767 | at the wrong end, e.g.@: a 4 byte structure is loaded into the lower 4 bytes |
f42974dc DW |
2768 | of the register when it should be loaded into the upper 4 bytes of the |
2769 | register. | |
2770 | ||
2771 | GCC is consistent with itself, but not consistent with the SGI C compiler | |
2772 | (and the SGI supplied runtime libraries), so the only failures that can | |
2773 | happen are when there are library functions that take/return such | |
213ba345 RO |
2774 | structures. There are very few such library functions. Currently this |
2775 | is known to affect @code{inet_ntoa}, @code{inet_lnaof}, | |
46d2e8d7 RO |
2776 | @code{inet_netof}, @code{inet_makeaddr}, and @code{semctl}. Until the |

250d5688 | 2896 | Sun does not ship a C compiler with Solaris 2. To bootstrap and install |
dbd210ef KC |
2897 | GCC you first have to install a pre-built compiler, see our |
2898 | @uref{binaries.html,,binaries page} for details. | |
f42974dc | 2899 | |
250d5688 | 2900 | The Solaris 2 @command{/bin/sh} will often fail to configure |
92441f83 GP |
2901 | @file{libstdc++-v3}, @file{boehm-gc} or @file{libjava}. We therefore |
2902 | recommend to set @env{CONFIG_SHELL} to @command{/bin/ksh} in your | |
2903 | environment. | |
e6855a2d | 2904 | |
b8df899a | 2905 | Solaris 2 comes with a number of optional OS packages. Some of these |
92441f83 | 2906 | are needed to use GCC fully, namely @code{SUNWarc}, |
dbd210ef KC |
2907 | @code{SUNWbtool}, @code{SUNWesu}, @code{SUNWhea}, @code{SUNWlibm}, |
2908 | @code{SUNWsprot}, and @code{SUNWtoo}. If you did not install all | |
250d5688 | 2909 | optional packages when installing Solaris 2, you will need to verify that |
b8df899a JM |
2910 | the packages that GCC needs are installed. |
2911 | ||
2912 | To check whether an optional package is installed, use | |
dbd210ef | 2913 | the @command{pkginfo} command. To add an optional package, use the |
250d5688 | 2914 | @command{pkgadd} command. For further details, see the Solaris 2 |

2926 | Sun bug 4296832 turns up when compiling X11 headers with GCC 2.95 or |
2927 | newer: @command{g++} will complain that types are missing. These headers assume | |
2928 | that omitting the type means @code{int}; this assumption worked for C89 but | |
2929 | is wrong for C++, and is now wrong for C99 also. | |

2958 | This is Sun bug 4237974. This is fixed with patch 108908-02 for Solaris |

03b272d2 | 2962 | Starting with Solaris 7, the operating system is capable of executing |
975c6e4e RO |
2963 | 64-bit SPARC V9 binaries. GCC 3.1 and later properly supports |
2964 | this; the @option{-m64} option enables 64-bit code generation. | |
2965 | However, if all you want is code tuned for the UltraSPARC CPU, you | |
2966 | should try the @option{-mtune=ultrasparc} option instead, which produces | |
2967 | code that, unlike full 64-bit code, can still run on non-UltraSPARC | |
edf1c8df | 2968 | machines. |

f42974dc DW |
2981 | the dynamic linker. This problem (Sun bug 4210064) affects GCC 2.8 |
2982 | and later, including all EGCS releases. Sun formerly recommended | |
2983 | 107058-01 for all Solaris 7 users, but around 1999-09-01 it started to | |
2984 | recommend it only for people who use Sun's compilers. | |

2986 | Here are some workarounds to this problem: |
2987 | @itemize @bullet | |
2988 | @item | |
2989 | Do not install Sun patch 107058-01 until after Sun releases a | |
2990 | complete patch for bug 4210064. This is the simplest course to take, | |
2991 | unless you must also use Sun's C compiler. Unfortunately 107058-01 | |
250d5688 | 2992 | is preinstalled on some new Solaris 7-based hosts, so you may have to |
f42974dc | 2993 | back it out. |
f9047ed3 | 2994 | |
f42974dc DW |
2995 | @item |
2996 | Copy the original, unpatched Solaris 7 | |

3003 | Install Sun patch 106950-03 (1999-05-25) or later. Nobody with | |
3004 | both 107058-01 and 106950-03 installed has reported the bug with GCC | |
3005 | and Sun's dynamic linker. This last course of action is riskiest, | |
3006 | for two reasons. First, you must install 106950 on all hosts that | |
3007 | run code generated by GCC; it doesn't suffice to install it only on | |
3008 | the hosts that run GCC itself. Second, Sun says that 106950-03 is | |
3009 | only a partial fix for bug 4210064, but Sun doesn't know whether the | |
161d7b59 | 3010 | partial fix is adequate for GCC@. Revision -08 or later should fix |
250d5688 | 3011 | the bug. The current (as of 2001-09-24) revision is -14, and is included in |

3103 | Support for VxWorks is in flux. At present GCC supports @emph{only} the | |
3104 | very recent VxWorks 5.5 (aka Tornado 2.2) release, and only on PowerPC. | |
3105 | We welcome patches for other architectures supported by VxWorks 5.5. | |
3106 | Support for VxWorks AE would also be welcome; we believe this is merely | |
3107 | a matter of writing an appropriate ``configlette'' (see below). We are | |
3108 | not interested in supporting older, a.out or COFF-based, versions of | |
3109 | VxWorks in GCC 3. | |
3110 | ||
3111 | VxWorks comes with an older version of GCC installed in | |
3112 | @file{@var{$WIND_BASE}/host}; we recommend you do not overwrite it. | |
3113 | Choose an installation @var{prefix} entirely outside @var{$WIND_BASE}. | |
3114 | Before running @command{configure}, create the directories @file{@var{prefix}} | |
3115 | and @file{@var{prefix}/bin}. Link or copy the appropriate assembler, | |
3116 | linker, etc. into @file{@var{prefix}/bin}, and set your @var{PATH} to | |
3117 | include that directory while running both @command{configure} and | |
3118 | @command{make}. | |
3119 | ||
3120 | You must give @command{configure} the | |
3121 | @option{--with-headers=@var{$WIND_BASE}/target/h} switch so that it can | |
3122 | find the VxWorks system headers. Since VxWorks is a cross compilation | |
3123 | target only, you must also specify @option{--target=@var{target}}. | |
3124 | @command{configure} will attempt to create the directory | |
3125 | @file{@var{prefix}/@var{target}/sys-include} and copy files into it; | |
3126 | make sure the user running @command{configure} has sufficient privilege | |
3127 | to do so. | |
3128 | ||
3129 | GCC's exception handling runtime requires a special ``configlette'' | |
3130 | module, @file{contrib/gthr_supp_vxw_5x.c}. Follow the instructions in | |
3131 | that file to add the module to your kernel build. (Future versions of | |
3132 | VxWorks will incorporate this module.) | |

3195 | |
3196 | GCC contains support files for many older (1980s and early | |
3197 | 1990s) Unix variants. For the most part, support for these systems | |
3198 | has not been deliberately removed, but it has not been maintained for | |
c7bdf0a6 | 3199 | several years and may suffer from bitrot. |
f9047ed3 | 3200 | |
c7bdf0a6 | 3201 | Starting with GCC 3.1, each release has a list of ``obsoleted'' systems. |
9340544b ZW |
3202 | Support for these systems is still present in that release, but |
3203 | @command{configure} will fail unless the @option{--enable-obsolete} | |
c7bdf0a6 ZW |
3204 | option is given. Unless a maintainer steps forward, support for these |
3205 | systems will be removed from the next release of GCC@. | |
f9047ed3 JM |
3206 | |
3207 | Support for old systems as hosts for GCC can cause problems if the | |
3208 | workarounds for compiler, library and operating system bugs affect the | |
161d7b59 | 3209 | cleanliness or maintainability of the rest of GCC@. In some cases, to |
f9047ed3 JM |
3210 | bring GCC up on such a system, if still possible with current GCC, may |
3211 | require first installing an old version of GCC which did work on that | |
c7bdf0a6 ZW |
3212 | system, and using it to compile a more recent GCC, to avoid bugs in the |
3213 | vendor compiler. Old releases of GCC 1 and GCC 2 are available in the | |
3214 | @file{old-releases} directory on the @uref{../mirrors.html,,GCC mirror | |
3215 | sites}. Header bugs may generally be avoided using | |
3216 | @command{fixincludes}, but bugs or deficiencies in libraries and the | |
3217 | operating system may still cause problems. | |
3218 | ||
3219 | Support for older systems as targets for cross-compilation is less | |
3220 | problematic than support for them as hosts for GCC; if an enthusiast | |
3221 | wishes to make such a target work again (including resurrecting any of | |
3222 | the targets that never worked with GCC 2, starting from the last CVS | |
3223 | version before they were removed), patches | |
3224 | @uref{../contribute.html,,following the usual requirements} would be | |
3225 | likely to be accepted, since they should not affect the support for more | |
3226 | modern targets. | |
f9047ed3 JM |
3227 | |
3228 | For some systems, old versions of GNU binutils may also be useful, | |
021c4bfd | 3229 | and are available from @file{pub/binutils/old-releases} on |
f42974dc | 3230 | @uref{http://sources.redhat.com/mirrors.html,,sources.redhat.com mirror sites}. |
f9047ed3 JM |
3231 | |
3232 | Some of the information on specific systems above relates to | |
3233 | such older systems, but much of the information | |
3234 | about GCC on such systems (which may no longer be applicable to | |
f42974dc | 3235 | current GCC) is to be found in the GCC texinfo manual. |
