GCC version 3.3.2

[Eljay Love-Jensen]

Hi Liz,

Here's my build script for GCC 3.3.1 on Solaris 8:

--- Eljay's Uber GCC33 Build Script (Bash) ---
# CLEAN
test -d ../gcc33 && rm -rf ../gcc33
rm -rf gcc libiberty sparc-sun-solaris2.8 Makefile mh-frag config.cache config.status

# CONFIGURE
PATH=/net/hither/export/share/gcc-3.2/bin:/bin:/usr/bin \
 ../gcc-3.3.1/configure \
 --prefix=/export/home3/eljay/gcc33 \
 --enable-languages=c,c++ \
 --with-gnu-as \
 --with-as=/net/hither/export/share/gcc-3.2/bin/as \
 --with-gnu-ld \
 --with-ld=/net/hither/export/share/gcc-3.2/bin/ld \
 --enable-threads \
 --enable-shared \
 --enable-clocale=gnu \
 --disable-__cxa_atexit

# Linux only, not for Solaris: --enable-__cxa_atexit

# BUILD
PATH=/net/hither/export/share/gcc-3.2/bin:/bin:/usr/bin make -j 4 CFLAGS='-O' LIBCFLAGS='-g -O2' LIBCXXFLAGS='-g -O2 -fno-implicit-templates' bootstrap-lean

# INSTALL
mkdir ../gcc33
make install
--- end-of-script ---

Note, I'm building for myself, not for general use.  So you'll notice that the target directory is ../gcc33, just off of my home directory.

I also use ~/gcc-3.3.1 for the source.  And ~/gcc-3.3.1-build (the current working directory, with the aforementioned uber script) for the build location.

I've also took the trouble to fix the wide character support problem on Solaris.  I don't know if that has been fixed for GCC 3.3.2 ... but it is a known issue and if not 3.3.2 then by 3.4 I'm betting.

Caution:  there may be spurious line-breaks introduced by the mail protocol.  Especially the # BUILD section ... that's one long line there.

And a final caution:  GCC is very sensitive (and smart and savvy) to the Solaris in which it is compiled upon.  It patches many of the Solaris "stock" header files, and holds them in a GCC special cache location.  If you patch your Solaris 8, those system files may change... which in turn means you REALLY should re-build GCC.  Just to be safe.

HTH,
