<a name="index-Installing-GCC_003a-Configuration"></a>
|
|
|
|
<p>Like most GNU software, GCC must be configured before it can be built.
|
|
This document describes the recommended configuration procedure
|
|
for both native and cross targets.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>We use <var>srcdir</var> to refer to the toplevel source directory for
|
|
GCC; we use <var>objdir</var> to refer to the toplevel build/object directory.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If you obtained the sources via SVN, <var>srcdir</var> must refer to the top
|
|
<samp>gcc</samp> directory, the one where the <samp>MAINTAINERS</samp> file can be
|
|
found, and not its <samp>gcc</samp> subdirectory, otherwise the build will fail.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If either <var>srcdir</var> or <var>objdir</var> is located on an automounted NFS
|
|
file system, the shell’s built-in <code>pwd</code> command will return
|
|
temporary pathnames. Using these can lead to various sorts of build
|
|
problems. To avoid this issue, set the <code>PWDCMD</code> environment
|
|
variable to an automounter-aware <code>pwd</code> command, e.g.,
|
|
<code>pawd</code> or ‘<samp>amq -w</samp>’, during the configuration and build
|
|
phases.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>First, we <strong>highly</strong> recommend that GCC be built into a
|
|
separate directory from the sources which does <strong>not</strong> reside
|
|
within the source tree. This is how we generally build GCC; building
|
|
where <var>srcdir</var> == <var>objdir</var> should still work, but doesn’t
|
|
get extensive testing; building where <var>objdir</var> is a subdirectory
|
|
of <var>srcdir</var> is unsupported.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If you have previously built GCC in the same directory for a
|
|
different target machine, do ‘<samp>make distclean</samp>’ to delete all files
|
|
that might be invalid. One of the files this deletes is <samp>Makefile</samp>;
|
|
if ‘<samp>make distclean</samp>’ complains that <samp>Makefile</samp> does not exist
|
|
or issues a message like “don’t know how to make distclean” it probably
|
|
means that the directory is already suitably clean. However, with the
|
|
recommended method of building in a separate <var>objdir</var>, you should
|
|
simply use a different <var>objdir</var> for each target.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Second, when configuring a native system, either <code>cc</code> or
|
|
<code>gcc</code> must be in your path or you must set <code>CC</code> in
|
|
your environment before running configure. Otherwise the configuration
|
|
scripts may fail.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To configure GCC:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">% mkdir <var>objdir</var>
|
|
% cd <var>objdir</var>
|
|
% <var>srcdir</var>/configure [<var>options</var>] [<var>target</var>]
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<a name="Distributor-options"></a>
|
|
<h3 class="heading">Distributor options</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you will be distributing binary versions of GCC, with modifications
|
|
to the source code, you should use the options described in this
|
|
section to make clear that your version contains modifications.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<dl compact="compact">
|
|
<dt><code>--with-pkgversion=<var>version</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Specify a string that identifies your package. You may wish
|
|
to include a build number or build date. This version string will be
|
|
included in the output of <code>gcc --version</code>. This suffix does
|
|
not replace the default version string, only the ‘<samp>GCC</samp>’ part.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The default value is ‘<samp>GCC</samp>’.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>--with-bugurl=<var>url</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Specify the URL that users should visit if they wish to report a bug.
|
|
You are of course welcome to forward bugs reported to you to the FSF,
|
|
if you determine that they are not bugs in your modifications.
|

</p>
|

<p>The default value refers to the FSF’s GCC bug tracker.

|
<a name="Target-specification"></a>
|
|
<h3 class="heading">Target specification</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> GCC has code to correctly determine the correct value for <var>target</var>
|
|
for nearly all native systems. Therefore, we highly recommend you do
|
|
not provide a configure target when configuring a native compiler.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> <var>target</var> must be specified as <samp>--target=<var>target</var></samp>
|
|
when configuring a cross compiler; examples of valid targets would be
|
|
m68k-elf, sh-elf, etc.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> Specifying just <var>target</var> instead of <samp>--target=<var>target</var></samp>
|
|
implies that the host defaults to <var>target</var>.
|
|
</li></ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<a name="Options-specification"></a>
|
|
<h3 class="heading">Options specification</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Use <var>options</var> to override several configure time options for
|
|
GCC. A list of supported <var>options</var> follows; ‘<samp>configure
|
|
--help</samp>’ may list other options, but those not listed below may not
|
|
work and should not normally be used.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Note that each <samp>--enable</samp> option has a corresponding
|
|
<samp>--disable</samp> option and that each <samp>--with</samp> option has a
|
|
corresponding <samp>--without</samp> option.

</p>

<dt><code>--program-prefix=<var>prefix</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>GCC supports some transformations of the names of its programs when
|
|
installing them. This option prepends <var>prefix</var> to the names of
|
|
programs to install in <var>bindir</var> (see above). For example, specifying
|
|
<samp>--program-prefix=foo-</samp> would result in ‘<samp>gcc</samp>’

(see above). For example, specifying <samp>--program-suffix=-3.1</samp>
|
|
would result in ‘<samp>gcc</samp>’ being installed as
|
|
<samp>/usr/local/bin/gcc-3.1</samp>.
|
|
</p>
|

</dd>
|

<dt><code>--program-transform-name=<var>pattern</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Applies the ‘<samp>sed</samp>’ script <var>pattern</var> to be applied to the names
|
|
of programs to install in <var>bindir</var> (see above). <var>pattern</var> has to
|
|
consist of one or more basic ‘<samp>sed</samp>’ editing commands, separated by
|
|
semicolons. For example, if you want the ‘<samp>gcc</samp>’ program name to be
|
|
transformed to the installed program <samp>/usr/local/bin/myowngcc</samp> and
|
|
the ‘<samp>g++</samp>’ program name to be transformed to
|
|
<samp>/usr/local/bin/gspecial++</samp> without changing other program names,
|
|
you could use the pattern
|
|
<samp>--program-transform-name='s/^gcc$/myowngcc/; s/^g++$/gspecial++/'</samp>
|
|
to achieve this effect.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>All three options can be combined and used together, resulting in more
|
|
complex conversion patterns. As a basic rule, <var>prefix</var> (and
|
|
<var>suffix</var>) are prepended (appended) before further transformations
|
|
can happen with a special transformation script <var>pattern</var>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>As currently implemented, this option only takes effect for native
|
|
builds; cross compiler binaries’ names are not transformed even when a
|
|
transformation is explicitly asked for by one of these options.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For native builds, some of the installed programs are also installed
|
|
with the target alias in front of their name, as in
|
|
‘<samp>i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc</samp>’. All of the above transformations happen
|
|
before the target alias is prepended to the name—so, specifying
|
|
<samp>--program-prefix=foo-</samp> and <samp>program-suffix=-3.1</samp>, the
|
|
resulting binary would be installed as
|
|
<samp>/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-foo-gcc-3.1</samp>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>As a last shortcoming, none of the installed Ada programs are
|
|
transformed yet, which will be fixed in some time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>--with-local-prefix=<var>dirname</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Specify the
|
|
installation directory for local include files. The default is
|
|
<samp>/usr/local</samp>. Specify this option if you want the compiler to
|
|
search directory <samp><var>dirname</var>/include</samp> for locally installed
|
|
header files <em>instead</em> of <samp>/usr/local/include</samp>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>You should specify <samp>--with-local-prefix</samp> <strong>only</strong> if your
|
|
site has a different convention (not <samp>/usr/local</samp>) for where to put
|
|
site-specific files.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The default value for <samp>--with-local-prefix</samp> is <samp>/usr/local</samp>
|
|
regardless of the value of <samp>--prefix</samp>. Specifying
|
|
<samp>--prefix</samp> has no effect on which directory GCC searches for
|
|
local header files. This may seem counterintuitive, but actually it is
|
|
logical.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The purpose of <samp>--prefix</samp> is to specify where to <em>install
|
|
GCC</em>. The local header files in <samp>/usr/local/include</samp>—if you put
|
|
any in that directory—are not part of GCC. They are part of other
|
|
programs—perhaps many others. (GCC installs its own header files in
|
|
another directory which is based on the <samp>--prefix</samp> value.)
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Both the local-prefix include directory and the GCC-prefix include
|
|
directory are part of GCC’s “system include” directories. Although these
|
|
two directories are not fixed, they need to be searched in the proper
|
|
order for the correct processing of the include_next directive. The
|
|
local-prefix include directory is searched before the GCC-prefix
|
|
include directory. Another characteristic of system include directories
|
|
is that pedantic warnings are turned off for headers in these directories.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Some autoconf macros add <samp>-I <var>directory</var></samp> options to the
|
|
compiler command line, to ensure that directories containing installed
|
|
packages’ headers are searched. When <var>directory</var> is one of GCC’s
|
|
system include directories, GCC will ignore the option so that system
|
|
directories continue to be processed in the correct order. This
|
|
may result in a search order different from what was specified but the
|
|
directory will still be searched.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>GCC automatically searches for ordinary libraries using
|
|
<code>GCC_EXEC_PREFIX</code>. Thus, when the same installation prefix is
|
|
used for both GCC and packages, GCC will automatically search for
|
|
both headers and libraries. This provides a configuration that is
|
|
easy to use. GCC behaves in a manner similar to that when it is
|
|
installed as a system compiler in <samp>/usr</samp>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Sites that need to install multiple versions of GCC may not want to
|
|
use the above simple configuration. It is possible to use the
|
|
<samp>--program-prefix</samp>, <samp>--program-suffix</samp> and
|
|
<samp>--program-transform-name</samp> options to install multiple versions
|
|
into a single directory, but it may be simpler to use different prefixes
|
|
and the <samp>--with-local-prefix</samp> option to specify the location of the
|
|
site-specific files for each version. It will then be necessary for
|
|
users to specify explicitly the location of local site libraries
|
|
(e.g., with <code>LIBRARY_PATH</code>).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The same value can be used for both <samp>--with-local-prefix</samp> and
|
|
<samp>--prefix</samp> provided it is not <samp>/usr</samp>. This can be used
|
|
to avoid the default search of <samp>/usr/local/include</samp>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><strong>Do not</strong> specify <samp>/usr</samp> as the <samp>--with-local-prefix</samp>!
|
|
The directory you use for <samp>--with-local-prefix</samp> <strong>must not</strong>
|
|
contain any of the system’s standard header files. If it did contain
|
|
them, certain programs would be miscompiled (including GNU Emacs, on
|
|
certain targets), because this would override and nullify the header
|
|
file corrections made by the <code>fixincludes</code> script.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Indications are that people who use this option use it based on mistaken
|
|
ideas of what it is for. People use it as if it specified where to
|
|
install part of GCC. Perhaps they make this assumption because
|
|
installing GCC creates the directory.

<p>On MIPS based systems and on Alphas, you must specify whether you want

GCC to create the normal ECOFF debugging format, or to use BSD-style

handle other languages, but it only works with the GNU debugger GDB.

<p>Normally, GCC uses the ECOFF debugging format by default; if you

Enabling this feature causes libstdc++ to be built with its virtual calls

the verifier will call stub functions (in libstdc++ itself) and do nothing.

virtual calls in verifiable mode at all. However the libvtv library will

still be built (see <samp>--disable-libvtv</samp> to turn off building libvtv).

‘<samp>assert,misc,tree,gc,rtlflag,runtime</samp>’), ‘<samp>no</samp>’ (no checks at
