131 @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/install/,,http://gcc.gnu.org/install/}.
133 This document describes the generic installation procedure for GCC as well
134 as detailing some target specific installation instructions.
136 GCC includes several components that previously were separate distributions
137 with their own installation instructions. This document supersedes all
138 package specific installation instructions.
140 @emph{Before} starting the build/install procedure please check the
142 @ref{Specific, host/target specific installation notes}.
145 @uref{specific.html,,host/target specific installation notes}.
147 We recommend you browse the entire generic installation instructions before
150 Lists of successful builds for released versions of GCC are
151 available at @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html}.
152 These lists are updated as new information becomes available.
154 The installation procedure itself is broken into five steps.

180 Please note that GCC does not support @samp{make uninstall} and probably
181 won't do so in the near future as this would open a can of worms. Instead,
182 we suggest that you install GCC into a directory of its own and simply
183 remove that directory when you do not need that specific version of GCC
184 any longer, and, if shared libraries are installed there as well, no
185 more binaries exist that use them.
188 There are also some @uref{old.html,,old installation instructions},
189 which are mostly obsolete but still contain some information which has
190 not yet been merged into the main part of this manual.

216 GCC is distributed via @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/cvs.html,,CVS} and FTP
217 tarballs compressed with @command{gzip} or
218 @command{bzip2}. It is possible to download a full distribution or specific
221 Please refer to our @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html,,releases web page}
222 for information on how to obtain GCC@.
224 The full distribution includes the C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java,
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.
230 If you choose to download specific components, you must download the core
231 GCC distribution plus any language specific distributions you wish to
232 use. The core distribution includes the C language front end as well as the
233 shared components. Each language has a tarball which includes the language
234 front end as well as the language runtime (when appropriate).
236 Unpack the core distribution as well as any language specific
237 distributions in the same directory.
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
244 (@file{bfd}, @file{binutils}, @file{gas}, @file{gprof}, @file{ld},
245 @file{opcodes}, @dots{}) to the directory containing the GCC sources.

263 @chapter Installing GCC: Configuration
265 @cindex Configuration
266 @cindex Installing GCC: Configuration
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.
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.
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.
279 If either @var{srcdir} or @var{objdir} is located on an automounted NFS
280 file system, the shell's built-in @command{pwd} command will return
281 temporary pathnames. Using these can lead to various sorts of build
282 problems. To avoid this issue, set the @env{PWDCMD} environment
283 variable to an automounter-aware @command{pwd} command, e.g.,
284 @command{pawd} or @command{amq -w}, during the configuration and build
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.
294 If you have previously built GCC in the same directory for a
295 different target machine, do @samp{make distclean} to delete all files
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.
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
305 your environment before running configure. Otherwise the configuration
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
311 affected by this requirement, see
313 @ref{Specific, host/target specific installation notes}.
316 @uref{specific.html,,host/target specific installation notes}.
324 % @var{srcdir}/configure [@var{options}] [@var{target}]
328 @heading Target specification
331 GCC has code to correctly determine the correct value for @var{target}
332 for nearly all native systems. Therefore, we highly recommend you not
333 provide a configure target when configuring a native compiler.
336 @var{target} must be specified as @option{--target=@var{target}}
337 when configuring a cross compiler; examples of valid targets would be
338 i960-rtems, m68k-coff, sh-elf, etc.
341 Specifying just @var{target} instead of @option{--target=@var{target}}
342 implies that the host defaults to @var{target}.
346 @heading Options specification
348 Use @var{options} to override several configure time options for
349 GCC@. A list of supported @var{options} follows; @command{configure
350 --help} may list other options, but those not listed below may not
351 work and should not normally be used.
354 @item --prefix=@var{dirname}
355 Specify the toplevel installation
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
360 We @strong{highly} recommend against @var{dirname} being the same or a
361 subdirectory of @var{objdir} or vice versa.
363 These additional options control where certain parts of the distribution
364 are installed. Normally you should not need to use these options.
366 @item --exec-prefix=@var{dirname}
367 Specify the toplevel installation directory for architecture-dependent
368 files. The default is @file{@var{prefix}}.
370 @item --bindir=@var{dirname}
371 Specify the installation directory for the executables called by users
372 (such as @command{gcc} and @command{g++}). The default is
373 @file{@var{exec-prefix}/bin}.
375 @item --libdir=@var{dirname}
376 Specify the installation directory for object code libraries and
377 internal parts of GCC@. The default is @file{@var{exec-prefix}/lib}.
379 @item --with-slibdir=@var{dirname}
380 Specify the installation directory for the shared libgcc library. The
381 default is @file{@var{libdir}}.
383 @item --infodir=@var{dirname}
384 Specify the installation directory for documentation in info format.
385 The default is @file{@var{prefix}/info}.
387 @item --datadir=@var{dirname}
388 Specify the installation directory for some architecture-independent
389 data files referenced by GCC@. The default is @file{@var{prefix}/share}.
391 @item --mandir=@var{dirname}
392 Specify the installation directory for manual pages. The default is
393 @file{@var{prefix}/man}. (Note that the manual pages are only extracts from
394 the full GCC manuals, which are provided in Texinfo format. The
395 @command{g77} manpage is unmaintained and may be out of date; the others
396 are derived by an automatic conversion process from parts of the full
399 @item --with-gxx-include-dir=@var{dirname}
401 the installation directory for G++ header files. The default is
402 @file{@var{prefix}/include/g++-v3}.
406 @item --program-prefix=@var{prefix}
407 GCC supports some transformations of the names of its programs when
408 installing them. This option prepends @var{prefix} to the names of
409 programs to install in @var{bindir} (see above). For example, specifying
410 @option{--program-prefix=foo-} would result in @samp{gcc}
411 being installed as @file{/usr/local/bin/foo-gcc}.
413 @item --program-suffix=@var{suffix}
414 Appends @var{suffix} to the names of programs to install in @var{bindir}
415 (see above). For example, specifying @option{--program-suffix=-3.1}
416 would result in @samp{gcc} being installed as
417 @file{/usr/local/bin/gcc-3.1}.
419 @item --program-transform-name=@var{pattern}
420 Applies the @samp{sed} script @var{pattern} to be applied to the names
421 of programs to install in @var{bindir} (see above). @var{pattern} has to
422 consist of one or more basic @samp{sed} editing commands, separated by
423 semicolons. For example, if you want the @samp{gcc} program name to be
424 transformed to the installed program @file{/usr/local/bin/myowngcc} and
425 the @samp{g++} program name to be transformed to
426 @file{/usr/local/bin/gspecial++} without changing other program names,
427 you could use the pattern
428 @option{--program-transform-name='s/^gcc$/myowngcc/; s/^g++$/gspecial++/'}
429 to achieve this effect.
431 All three options can be combined and used together, resulting in more
432 complex conversion patterns. As a basic rule, @var{prefix} (and
433 @var{suffix}) are prepended (appended) before further transformations
434 can happen with a special transformation script @var{pattern}.
436 As currently implemented, this option only takes effect for native
437 builds; cross compiler binaries' names are not transformed even when a
438 transformation is explicitly asked for by one of these options.
440 For native builds, some of the installed programs are also installed
441 with the target alias in front of their name, as in
442 @samp{i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc}. All of the above transformations happen
443 before the target alias is prepended to the name - so, specifying
444 @option{--program-prefix=foo-} and @option{program-suffix=-3.1}, the
445 resulting binary would be installed as
446 @file{/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-foo-gcc-3.1}.
448 As a last shortcoming, none of the installed Ada programs are
449 transformed yet, which will be fixed in some time.
451 @item --with-local-prefix=@var{dirname}
453 installation directory for local include files. The default is
454 @file{/usr/local}. Specify this option if you want the compiler to
455 search directory @file{@var{dirname}/include} for locally installed
456 header files @emph{instead} of @file{/usr/local/include}.
458 You should specify @option{--with-local-prefix} @strong{only} if your
459 site has a different convention (not @file{/usr/local}) for where to put
462 The default value for @option{--with-local-prefix} is @file{/usr/local}
463 regardless of the value of @option{--prefix}. Specifying
464 @option{--prefix} has no effect on which directory GCC searches for
465 local header files. This may seem counterintuitive, but actually it is
468 The purpose of @option{--prefix} is to specify where to @emph{install
469 GCC}. The local header files in @file{/usr/local/include}---if you put
470 any in that directory---are not part of GCC@. They are part of other
471 programs---perhaps many others. (GCC installs its own header files in
472 another directory which is based on the @option{--prefix} value.)
474 Both the local-prefix include directory and the GCC-prefix include
475 directory are part of GCC's "system include" directories. Although these
476 two directories are not fixed, they need to be searched in the proper
477 order for the correct processing of the include_next directive. The
478 local-prefix include directory is searched before the GCC-prefix
479 include directory. Another characteristic of system include directories
480 is that pedantic warnings are turned off for headers in these directories.
482 Some autoconf macros add @option{-I @var{directory}} options to the
483 compiler command line, to ensure that directories containing installed
484 packages' headers are searched. When @var{directory} is one of GCC's
485 system include directories, GCC will ignore the option so that system
486 directories continue to be processed in the correct order. This
487 may result in a search order different from what was specified but the
488 directory will still be searched.
490 GCC automatically searches for ordinary libraries using
491 @env{GCC_EXEC_PREFIX}. Thus, when the same installation prefix is
492 used for both GCC and packages, GCC will automatically search for
493 both headers and libraries. This provides a configuration that is
494 easy to use. GCC behaves in a manner similar to that when it is
495 installed as a system compiler in @file{/usr}.
497 Sites that need to install multiple versions of GCC may not want to
498 use the above simple configuration. It is possible to use the
499 @option{--program-prefix}, @option{--program-suffix} and
500 @option{--program-transform-name} options to install multiple versions
501 into a single directory, but it may be simpler to use different prefixes
502 and the @option{--with-local-prefix} option to specify the location of the
503 site-specific files for each version. It will then be necessary for
504 users to specify explicitly the location of local site libraries
505 (e.g., with @env{LIBRARY_PATH}).
507 The same value can be used for both @option{--with-local-prefix} and
508 @option{--prefix} provided it is not @file{/usr}. This can be used
509 to avoid the default search of @file{/usr/local/include}.
511 @strong{Do not} specify @file{/usr} as the @option{--with-local-prefix}!
512 The directory you use for @option{--with-local-prefix} @strong{must not}
513 contain any of the system's standard header files. If it did contain
514 them, certain programs would be miscompiled (including GNU Emacs, on
515 certain targets), because this would override and nullify the header
516 file corrections made by the @command{fixincludes} script.
518 Indications are that people who use this option use it based on mistaken
519 ideas of what it is for. People use it as if it specified where to
520 install part of GCC@. Perhaps they make this assumption because
521 installing GCC creates the directory.
523 @item --enable-shared[=@var{package}[,@dots{}]]
524 Build shared versions of libraries, if shared libraries are supported on
525 the target platform. Unlike GCC 2.95.x and earlier, shared libraries
526 are enabled by default on all platforms that support shared libraries,
527 except for @samp{libobjc} which is built as a static library only by
530 If a list of packages is given as an argument, build shared libraries
531 only for the listed packages. For other packages, only static libraries
532 will be built. Package names currently recognized in the GCC tree are
533 @samp{libgcc} (also known as @samp{gcc}), @samp{libstdc++} (not
534 @samp{libstdc++-v3}), @samp{libffi}, @samp{zlib}, @samp{boehm-gc} and
535 @samp{libjava}. Note that @samp{libobjc} does not recognize itself by
536 any name, so, if you list package names in @option{--enable-shared},
537 you will only get static Objective-C libraries. @samp{libf2c} and
538 @samp{libiberty} do not support shared libraries at all.
540 Use @option{--disable-shared} to build only static libraries. Note that
541 @option{--disable-shared} does not accept a list of package names as
542 argument, only @option{--enable-shared} does.
544 @item @anchor{with-gnu-as}--with-gnu-as
545 Specify that the compiler should assume that the
546 assembler it finds is the GNU assembler. However, this does not modify
547 the rules to find an assembler and will result in confusion if the
548 assembler found is not actually the GNU assembler. (Confusion may also
549 result if the compiler finds the GNU assembler but has not been
550 configured with @option{--with-gnu-as}.) If you have more than one
551 assembler installed on your system, you may want to use this option in
552 connection with @option{--with-as=@var{pathname}}.
554 The following systems are the only ones where it makes a difference
555 whether you use the GNU assembler. On any other system,
556 @option{--with-gnu-as} has no effect.
559 @item @samp{hppa1.0-@var{any}-@var{any}}
560 @item @samp{hppa1.1-@var{any}-@var{any}}
561 @item @samp{i386-@var{any}-sysv}
562 @item @samp{m68k-bull-sysv}
563 @item @samp{m68k-hp-hpux}
564 @item @samp{m68000-hp-hpux}
565 @item @samp{m68000-att-sysv}
566 @item @samp{@var{any}-lynx-lynxos}
567 @item @samp{mips-@var{any}}
570 On the systems listed above (except for the HP-PA, for ISC on the
571 386, and for @samp{mips-sgi-irix5.*}), if you use the GNU assembler,
572 you should also use the GNU linker (and specify @option{--with-gnu-ld}).
574 @item --with-as=@var{pathname}
576 compiler should use the assembler pointed to by @var{pathname}, rather
577 than the one found by the standard rules to find an assembler, which
582 @file{@var{exec_prefix}/lib/gcc-lib/@var{target}/@var{version}}
583 directory, where @var{exec_prefix} defaults to @var{prefix} which
584 defaults to @file{/usr/local} unless overridden by the
585 @option{--prefix=@var{pathname}} switch described above. @var{target} is the
586 target system triple, such as @samp{sparc-sun-solaris2.7}, and
587 @var{version} denotes the GCC version, such as 3.0.
589 Check operating system specific directories (e.g.@: @file{/usr/ccs/bin} on
592 Note that these rules do not check for the value of @env{PATH}. You may
593 want to use @option{--with-as} if no assembler is installed in the
594 directories listed above, or if you have multiple assemblers installed
595 and want to choose one that is not found by the above rules.
597 @item @anchor{with-gnu-ld}--with-gnu-ld
598 Same as @uref{#with-gnu-as,,@option{--with-gnu-as}}
602 @item --with-ld=@var{pathname}
604 @option{--with-as}, but for the linker.
607 Specify that stabs debugging
608 information should be used instead of whatever format the host normally
609 uses. Normally GCC uses the same debug format as the host system.
611 On MIPS based systems and on Alphas, you must specify whether you want
612 GCC to create the normal ECOFF debugging format, or to use BSD-style
613 stabs passed through the ECOFF symbol table. The normal ECOFF debug
614 format cannot fully handle languages other than C@. BSD stabs format can
615 handle other languages, but it only works with the GNU debugger GDB@.
617 Normally, GCC uses the ECOFF debugging format by default; if you
618 prefer BSD stabs, specify @option{--with-stabs} when you configure GCC@.
620 No matter which default you choose when you configure GCC, the user
621 can use the @option{-gcoff} and @option{-gstabs+} options to specify explicitly
622 the debug format for a particular compilation.
624 @option{--with-stabs} is meaningful on the ISC system on the 386, also, if
625 @option{--with-gas} is used. It selects use of stabs debugging
626 information embedded in COFF output. This kind of debugging information
627 supports C++ well; ordinary COFF debugging information does not.
629 @option{--with-stabs} is also meaningful on 386 systems running SVR4. It
630 selects use of stabs debugging information embedded in ELF output. The
631 C++ compiler currently (2.6.0) does not support the DWARF debugging
632 information normally used on 386 SVR4 platforms; stabs provide a
633 workable alternative. This requires gas and gdb, as the normal SVR4
634 tools can not generate or interpret stabs.
636 @item --disable-multilib
637 Specify that multiple target
638 libraries to support different target variants, calling
639 conventions, etc should not be built. The default is to build a
640 predefined set of them.
642 Some targets provide finer-grained control over which multilibs are built
643 (e.g., @option{--disable-softfloat}):
649 fpu, 26bit, underscore, interwork, biendian, nofmult.
652 softfloat, m68881, m68000, m68020.
655 single-float, biendian, softfloat.
657 @item powerpc*-*-*, rs6000*-*-*
658 aix64, pthread, softfloat, powercpu, powerpccpu, powerpcos, biendian,
663 @item --enable-threads
664 Specify that the target
665 supports threads. This affects the Objective-C compiler and runtime
666 library, and exception handling for other languages like C++ and Java.
667 On some systems, this is the default.
669 In general, the best (and, in many cases, the only known) threading
670 model available will be configured for use. Beware that on some
671 systems, gcc has not been taught what threading models are generally
672 available for the system. In this case, @option{--enable-threads} is an
673 alias for @option{--enable-threads=single}.
675 @item --disable-threads
676 Specify that threading support should be disabled for the system.
677 This is an alias for @option{--enable-threads=single}.
679 @item --enable-threads=@var{lib}
681 @var{lib} is the thread support library. This affects the Objective-C
682 compiler and runtime library, and exception handling for other languages
683 like C++ and Java. The possibilities for @var{lib} are:
691 Generic MACH thread support, known to work on NeXTSTEP@. (Please note
692 that the file needed to support this configuration, @file{gthr-mach.h}, is
693 missing and thus this setting will cause a known bootstrap failure.)
695 This is an alias for @samp{single}.
697 Generic POSIX thread support.
699 Same as @samp{posix} on arm*-*-linux*, *-*-chorusos* and *-*-freebsd*
700 only. A future release of gcc might remove this alias or extend it
703 RTEMS thread support.
705 Disable thread support, should work for all platforms.
707 Sun Solaris 2 thread support.
709 VxWorks thread support.
711 Microsoft Win32 API thread support.
714 @item --with-cpu=@var{cpu}
715 Specify which cpu variant the
716 compiler should generate code for by default. This is currently
717 only supported on some ports, specifically arm, powerpc, and
718 SPARC@. If configure does not recognize the model name (e.g.@: arm700,
719 603e, or ultrasparc) you provide, please check the
720 @command{gcc/config.gcc} script for a complete list of supported models.
722 @item --enable-altivec
723 Specify that the target supports AltiVec vector enhancements. This
724 option will adjust the ABI for AltiVec enhancements, as well as generate
725 AltiVec code when appropriate. This option is only available for
728 @item --enable-target-optspace
730 libraries should be optimized for code space instead of code speed.
731 This is the default for the m32r platform.
734 Specify that a user visible @command{cpp} program should not be installed.
736 @item --with-cpp-install-dir=@var{dirname}
737 Specify that the user visible @command{cpp} program should be installed
738 in @file{@var{prefix}/@var{dirname}/cpp}, in addition to @var{bindir}.
740 @item --enable-initfini-array
741 Force the use of sections @code{.init_array} and @code{.fini_array}
742 (instead of @code{.init} and @code{.fini}) for constructors and
743 destructors. Option @option{--disable-initfini-array} has the
744 opposite effect. If neither option is specified, the configure script
745 will try to guess whether the @code{.init_array} and
746 @code{.fini_array} sections are supported and, if they are, use them.
748 @item --enable-maintainer-mode
750 regenerate the GCC master message catalog @file{gcc.pot} are normally
751 disabled. This is because it can only be rebuilt if the complete source
752 tree is present. If you have changed the sources and want to rebuild the
753 catalog, configuring with @option{--enable-maintainer-mode} will enable
754 this. Note that you need a recent version of the @code{gettext} tools
757 @item --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs
759 that runtime libraries should be installed in the compiler specific
760 subdirectory (@file{@var{libsubdir}}) rather than the usual places. In
761 addition, @samp{libstdc++}'s include files will be installed in
762 @file{@var{libsubdir}/include/g++} unless you overruled it by using
763 @option{--with-gxx-include-dir=@var{dirname}}. Using this option is
764 particularly useful if you intend to use several versions of GCC in
765 parallel. This is currently supported by @samp{libf2c} and
766 @samp{libstdc++}, and is the default for @samp{libobjc} which cannot be
767 changed in this case.
769 @item --enable-languages=@var{lang1},@var{lang2},@dots{}
770 Specify that only a particular subset of compilers and
771 their runtime libraries should be built. For a list of valid values for
772 @var{langN} you can issue the following command in the
773 @file{gcc} directory of your GCC source tree:@*
775 grep language= */config-lang.in
777 Currently, you can use any of the following:
778 @code{ada}, @code{c}, @code{c++}, @code{f77}, @code{java}, @code{objc}.
779 Building the Ada compiler has special requirements, see below.@*
780 If you do not pass this flag, all languages available in the @file{gcc}
781 sub-tree will be configured. Re-defining @code{LANGUAGES} when calling
782 @samp{make bootstrap} @strong{does not} work anymore, as those
783 language sub-directories might not have been configured!
785 @item --disable-libgcj
786 Specify that the run-time libraries
787 used by GCJ should not be built. This is useful in case you intend
788 to use GCJ with some other run-time, or you're going to install it
789 separately, or it just happens not to build on your particular
790 machine. In general, if the Java front end is enabled, the GCJ
791 libraries will be enabled too, unless they're known to not work on
792 the target platform. If GCJ is enabled but @samp{libgcj} isn't built, you
793 may need to port it; in this case, before modifying the top-level
794 @file{configure.in} so that @samp{libgcj} is enabled by default on this platform,
795 you may use @option{--enable-libgcj} to override the default.
798 Specify that the compiler should
799 use DWARF 2 debugging information as the default.
801 @item --enable-win32-registry
802 @itemx --enable-win32-registry=@var{key}
803 @itemx --disable-win32-registry
804 The @option{--enable-win32-registry} option enables Windows-hosted GCC
805 to look up installations paths in the registry using the following key:
808 @code{HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Free Software Foundation\@var{key}}
811 @var{key} defaults to GCC version number, and can be overridden by the
812 @option{--enable-win32-registry=@var{key}} option. Vendors and distributors
813 who use custom installers are encouraged to provide a different key,
814 perhaps one comprised of vendor name and GCC version number, to
815 avoid conflict with existing installations. This feature is enabled
816 by default, and can be disabled by @option{--disable-win32-registry}
817 option. This option has no effect on the other hosts.
820 Specify that the machine does not have a floating point unit. This
821 option only applies to @samp{m68k-sun-sunos@var{n}}. On any other
822 system, @option{--nfp} has no effect.
824 @item --enable-checking
825 @itemx --enable-checking=@var{list}
826 When you specify this option, the compiler is built to perform checking
827 of tree node types when referencing fields of that node, and some other
828 internal consistency checks. This does not change the generated code,
829 but adds error checking within the compiler. This will slow down the
830 compiler and may only work properly if you are building the compiler
831 with GCC@. This is on by default when building from CVS or snapshots,
832 but off for releases. More control over the checks may be had by
833 specifying @var{list}; the categories of checks available are
834 @samp{misc}, @samp{tree}, @samp{gc}, @samp{rtl}, @samp{rtlflag} and
836 default when @var{list} is not specified is @samp{misc,tree,gc,rtlflag}; the
837 checks @samp{rtl} and @samp{gcac} are very expensive.
839 @item --enable-coverage
840 @item --enable-coverage=@var{level}
841 With this option, the compiler is built to collect self coverage
842 information, every time it is run. This is for internal development
843 purposes, and only works when the compiler is being built with gcc. The
844 @var{level} argument controls whether the compiler is built optimized or
845 not, values are @samp{opt} and @samp{noopt}. For coverage analysis you
846 want to disable optimization, for performance analysis you want to
847 enable optimization. When coverage is enabled, the default level is
848 without optimization.
852 The @option{--enable-nls} option enables Native Language Support (NLS),
853 which lets GCC output diagnostics in languages other than American
854 English. Native Language Support is enabled by default if not doing a
855 canadian cross build. The @option{--disable-nls} option disables NLS@.
857 @item --with-included-gettext
858 If NLS is enabled, the @option{--with-included-gettext} option causes the build
859 procedure to prefer its copy of GNU @command{gettext}.
862 If NLS is enabled, and if the host lacks @code{gettext} but has the
863 inferior @code{catgets} interface, the GCC build procedure normally
864 ignores @code{catgets} and instead uses GCC's copy of the GNU
865 @code{gettext} library. The @option{--with-catgets} option causes the
866 build procedure to use the host's @code{catgets} in this situation.
868 @item --with-libiconv-prefix=@var{dir}
869 Search for libiconv header files in @file{@var{dir}/include} and
870 libiconv library files in @file{@var{dir}/lib}.
872 @item --with-system-zlib
873 Use installed zlib rather than that included with GCC@. This option
874 only applies if the Java front end is being built.
876 @item --enable-obsolete
877 Enable configuration for an obsoleted system. If you attempt to
878 configure GCC for a system (build, host, or target) which has been
879 obsoleted, and you do not specify this flag, configure will halt with an
882 All support for systems which have been obsoleted in one release of GCC
883 is removed entirely in the next major release, unless someone steps
884 forward to maintain the port.
887 Some options which only apply to building cross compilers:
890 @itemx --with-sysroot=@var{dir}
891 Tells GCC to consider @var{dir} as the root of a tree that contains a
892 (subset of) the root filesystem of the target operating system.
893 Target system headers, libraries and run-time object files will be
894 searched in there. The specified directory is not copied into the
895 install tree, unlike the options @option{--with-headers} and
896 @option{--with-libs} that this option obsoletes. The default value,
897 in case @option{--with-sysroot} is not given an argument, is
898 @option{$@{gcc_tooldir@}/sys-root}. Starting the pathname with
899 @option{$@{gcc_tooldir@}/}, in such a way that this variable is not
900 expanded by the shell, but rather by the gcc Makefile, enables the
901 target sysroot directory to be relocatable along with the entire
902 install tree, but it will require the gcc tool directory to be created
903 @emph{before} the build is started. This directory, as well as its
904 intermediate pathnames, can be easily created by running @command{make
905 install-gcc-tooldir} the gcc build directory. This is not done
906 automatically to avoid touching the install tree without explicit
910 @itemx --with-headers=@var{dir}
911 Deprecated in favor of @option{--with-sysroot}.
912 Specifies that target headers are available when building a cross compiler.
913 The @var{dir} argument specifies a directory which has the target include
914 files. These include files will be copied into the @file{gcc} install
915 directory. @emph{This option with the @var{dir} argument is required} when
916 building a cross compiler, if @file{@var{prefix}/@var{target}/sys-include}
917 doesn't pre-exist. If @file{@var{prefix}/@var{target}/sys-include} does
918 pre-exist, the @var{dir} argument may be omitted. @command{fixincludes}
919 will be run on these files to make them compatible with GCC.
921 @itemx --with-libs=``@var{dir1} @var{dir2} @dots{} @var{dirN}''
922 Deprecated in favor of @option{--with-sysroot}.
923 Specifies a list of directories which contain the target runtime
924 libraries. These libraries will be copied into the @file{gcc} install
925 directory. If the directory list is omitted, this option has no
928 Specifies that @samp{newlib} is
929 being used as the target C library. This causes @code{__eprintf} to be
930 omitted from @file{libgcc.a} on the assumption that it will be provided by
934 Note that each @option{--enable} option has a corresponding
935 @option{--disable} option and that each @option{--with} option has a
936 corresponding @option{--without} option.

949 @comment node-name, next, previous, up
950 @node Building, Testing, Configuration, Installing GCC
956 @cindex Installing GCC: Building
958 Now that GCC is configured, you are ready to build the compiler and
961 We @strong{highly} recommend that GCC be built using GNU make;
962 other versions may work, then again they might not.
963 GNU make is required for compiling GNAT (the Ada compiler) and the Java
966 (For example, many broken versions of make will fail if you use the
967 recommended setup where @var{objdir} is different from @var{srcdir}.
968 Other broken versions may recompile parts of the compiler when
969 installing the compiler.)
971 Some commands executed when making the compiler may fail (return a
972 nonzero status) and be ignored by @code{make}. These failures, which
973 are often due to files that were not found, are expected, and can safely
976 It is normal to have compiler warnings when compiling certain files.
977 Unless you are a GCC developer, you can generally ignore these warnings
978 unless they cause compilation to fail.
980 On certain old systems, defining certain environment variables such as
981 @env{CC} can interfere with the functioning of @command{make}.
983 If you encounter seemingly strange errors when trying to build the
984 compiler in a directory other than the source directory, it could be
985 because you have previously configured the compiler in the source
986 directory. Make sure you have done all the necessary preparations.
988 If you build GCC on a BSD system using a directory stored in an old System
989 V file system, problems may occur in running @command{fixincludes} if the
990 System V file system doesn't support symbolic links. These problems
991 result in a failure to fix the declaration of @code{size_t} in
992 @file{sys/types.h}. If you find that @code{size_t} is a signed type and
993 that type mismatches occur, this could be the cause.
995 The solution is not to use such a directory for building GCC@.
997 When building from CVS or snapshots, or if you modify parser sources,
998 you need the Bison parser generator installed. Any version 1.25 or
999 later should work; older versions may also work. If you do not modify
1000 parser sources, releases contain the Bison-generated files and you do
1001 not need Bison installed to build them.
1003 When building from CVS or snapshots, or if you modify Texinfo
1004 documentation, you need version 4.2 or later of Texinfo installed if you
1005 want Info documentation to be regenerated. Releases contain Info
1006 documentation pre-built for the unmodified documentation in the release.
1008 @section Building a native compiler
1010 For a native build issue the command @samp{make bootstrap}. This
1011 will build the entire GCC system, which includes the following steps:
1015 Build host tools necessary to build the compiler such as texinfo, bison,
1019 Build target tools for use by the compiler such as binutils (bfd,
1020 binutils, gas, gprof, ld, and opcodes)
1021 if they have been individually linked
1022 or moved into the top level GCC source tree before configuring.
1025 Perform a 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler.
1028 Perform a comparison test of the stage2 and stage3 compilers.
1031 Build runtime libraries using the stage3 compiler from the previous step.
1035 If you are short on disk space you might consider @samp{make
1036 bootstrap-lean} instead. This is identical to @samp{make
1037 bootstrap} except that object files from the stage1 and
1038 stage2 of the 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler are deleted as
1039 soon as they are no longer needed.
1041 If you want to save additional space during the bootstrap and in
1042 the final installation as well, you can build the compiler binaries
1043 without debugging information as in the following example. This will save
1044 roughly 40% of disk space both for the bootstrap and the final installation.
1045 (Libraries will still contain debugging information.)
1048 make CFLAGS='-O' LIBCFLAGS='-g -O2' \
1049 LIBCXXFLAGS='-g -O2 -fno-implicit-templates' bootstrap
1052 If you wish to use non-default GCC flags when compiling the stage2 and
1053 stage3 compilers, set @code{BOOT_CFLAGS} on the command line when doing
1054 @samp{make bootstrap}. Non-default optimization flags are less well
1055 tested here than the default of @samp{-g -O2}, but should still work.
1056 In a few cases, you may find that you need to specify special flags such
1057 as @option{-msoft-float} here to complete the bootstrap; or, if the
1058 native compiler miscompiles the stage1 compiler, you may need to work
1059 around this, by choosing @code{BOOT_CFLAGS} to avoid the parts of the
1060 stage1 compiler that were miscompiled, or by using @samp{make
1061 bootstrap4} to increase the number of stages of bootstrap.
1063 If you used the flag @option{--enable-languages=@dots{}} to restrict
1064 the compilers to be built, only those you've actually enabled will be
1065 built. This will of course only build those runtime libraries, for
1066 which the particular compiler has been built. Please note,
1067 that re-defining @env{LANGUAGES} when calling @samp{make bootstrap}
1068 @strong{does not} work anymore!
1070 If the comparison of stage2 and stage3 fails, this normally indicates
1071 that the stage2 compiler has compiled GCC incorrectly, and is therefore
1072 a potentially serious bug which you should investigate and report. (On
1073 a few systems, meaningful comparison of object files is impossible; they
1074 always appear ``different''. If you encounter this problem, you will
1075 need to disable comparison in the @file{Makefile}.)
1077 @section Building a cross compiler
1079 We recommend reading the
1080 @uref{http://www.objsw.com/CrossGCC/,,crossgcc FAQ}
1081 for information about building cross compilers.
1083 When building a cross compiler, it is not generally possible to do a
1084 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler. This makes for an interesting problem
1085 as parts of GCC can only be built with GCC@.
1087 To build a cross compiler, we first recommend building and installing a
1088 native compiler. You can then use the native GCC compiler to build the
1089 cross compiler. The installed native compiler needs to be GCC version
1092 Assuming you have already installed a native copy of GCC and configured
1093 your cross compiler, issue the command @command{make}, which performs the
1098 Build host tools necessary to build the compiler such as texinfo, bison,
1102 Build target tools for use by the compiler such as binutils (bfd,
1103 binutils, gas, gprof, ld, and opcodes)
1104 if they have been individually linked or moved into the top level GCC source
1105 tree before configuring.
1108 Build the compiler (single stage only).
1111 Build runtime libraries using the compiler from the previous step.
1114 Note that if an error occurs in any step the make process will exit.
1116 @section Building in parallel
1118 If you have a multiprocessor system you can use @samp{make bootstrap
1119 MAKE="make -j 2" -j 2} or just @samp{make -j 2 bootstrap}
1120 for GNU Make 3.79 and above instead of just @samp{make bootstrap}
1121 when building GCC@. You can use a bigger number instead of two if
1122 you like. In most cases, it won't help to use a number bigger than
1123 the number of processors in your machine.
1125 @section Building the Ada compiler
1127 In order to build GNAT, the Ada compiler, you need a working GNAT
1128 compiler (GNAT version 3.13 or later, or GCC version 3.1 or later),
1129 since the Ada front end is written in Ada (with some
1130 GNAT-specific extensions), and GNU make.
1132 However, you do not need a full installation of GNAT, just the GNAT
1133 binary @file{gnat1}, a copy of @file{gnatbind}, and a compiler driver
1134 which can deal with Ada input (by invoking the @file{gnat1} binary).
1135 You can specify this compiler driver by setting the @env{ADAC}
1136 environment variable at the configure step. @command{configure} can
1137 detect the driver automatically if it has got a common name such as
1138 @command{gcc} or @command{gnatgcc}. Of course, you still need a working
1139 C compiler (the compiler driver can be different or not).
1140 @command{configure} does not test whether the GNAT installation works
1141 and has a sufficiently recent version; if too old a GNAT version is
1142 installed, the build will fail unless @option{--enable-languages} is
1143 used to disable building the Ada front end.
1145 Additional build tools (such as @command{gnatmake}) or a working GNAT
1146 run-time library installation are usually @emph{not} required. However,
1147 if you want to bootstrap the compiler using a minimal version of GNAT,
1148 you have to issue the following commands before invoking @samp{make
1149 bootstrap} (this assumes that you start with an unmodified and consistent
1150 source distribution):
1153 cd @var{srcdir}/gcc/ada
1154 touch treeprs.ads [es]info.h nmake.ad[bs]
1157 At the moment, the GNAT library and several tools for GNAT are not built
1158 by @samp{make bootstrap}. You have to invoke
1159 @samp{make gnatlib_and_tools} in the @file{@var{objdir}/gcc}
1160 subdirectory before proceeding with the next steps.
1162 For example, you can build a native Ada compiler by issuing the
1163 following commands (assuming @command{make} is GNU make):
1167 @var{srcdir}/configure --enable-languages=c,ada
1168 cd @var{srcdir}/gcc/ada
1169 touch treeprs.ads [es]info.h nmake.ad[bs]
1173 make gnatlib_and_tools
1177 Currently, when compiling the Ada front end, you cannot use the parallel
1178 build feature described in the previous section.

1191 @comment node-name, next, previous, up
1192 @node Testing, Final install, Building, Installing GCC
1196 @chapter Installing GCC: Testing
1199 @cindex Installing GCC: Testing
1202 Before you install GCC, we encourage you to run the testsuites and to
1203 compare your results with results from a similar configuration that have
1204 been submitted to the
1205 @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/,,gcc-testresults mailing list}.
1206 This step is optional and may require you to download additional software,
1207 but it can give you confidence in your new GCC installation or point out
1208 problems before you install and start using your new GCC.
1210 First, you must have @uref{download.html,,downloaded the testsuites}.
1211 These are part of the full distribution, but if you downloaded the
1212 ``core'' compiler plus any front ends, you must download the testsuites
1215 Second, you must have the testing tools installed. This includes
1216 a @uref{http://www.gnu.org/software/dejagnu/,,current version of DejaGnu};
1217 dejagnu 1.3 is not sufficient.
1218 It also includes Tcl and Expect; the DejaGnu site has links to these.
1220 Now you may need specific preparations:
1225 The following environment variables may need to be set appropriately, as in
1226 the following example (which assumes that DejaGnu has been installed
1227 under @file{/usr/local}):
1230 TCL_LIBRARY = /usr/local/share/tcl8.0
1231 DEJAGNULIBS = /usr/local/share/dejagnu
1234 On systems such as Cygwin, these paths are required to be actual
1235 paths, not mounts or links; presumably this is due to some lack of
1236 portability in the DejaGnu code.
1238 If the directories where @command{runtest} and @command{expect} were
1239 installed are in the @env{PATH}, it should not be necessary to set these
1240 environment variables.
1244 Finally, you can run the testsuite (which may take a long time):
1246 cd @var{objdir}; make -k check
1249 The testing process will try to test as many components in the GCC
1250 distribution as possible, including the C, C++, Objective-C and Fortran
1251 compilers as well as the C++ and Java runtime libraries.
1253 While running the testsuite, DejaGnu might emit messages resembling
1254 @samp{WARNING: Couldn't find the global config file.} or
1255 @samp{WARNING: Couldn't find tool init file}.
1256 These messages are harmless and do not affect the validity of the tests.
1258 @section How can I run the test suite on selected tests?
1260 As a first possibility to cut down the number of tests that are run it is
1261 possible to use @samp{make check-gcc} or @samp{make check-g++}
1262 in the @file{gcc} subdirectory of the object directory. To further cut down the
1263 tests the following is possible:
1266 make check-gcc RUNTESTFLAGS="execute.exp @var{other-options}"
1269 This will run all @command{gcc} execute tests in the testsuite.
1272 make check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="old-deja.exp=9805* @var{other-options}"
1275 This will run the @command{g++} ``old-deja'' tests in the testsuite where the filename
1276 matches @samp{9805*}.
1278 The @file{*.exp} files are located in the testsuite directories of the GCC
1279 source, the most important ones being @file{compile.exp},
1280 @file{execute.exp}, @file{dg.exp} and @file{old-deja.exp}.
1281 To get a list of the possible @file{*.exp} files, pipe the
1282 output of @samp{make check} into a file and look at the
1283 @samp{Running @dots{} .exp} lines.
1285 To run only the tests for a library, run @samp{make check} from the

1289 @section Additional testing for Java Class Libraries
1291 The @uref{http://sources.redhat.com/mauve/,,Mauve Project} provides
1292 a suite of tests for the Java Class Libraries. This suite can be run
1293 as part of libgcj testing by placing the Mauve tree within the libjava
1294 testsuite at @file{libjava/testsuite/libjava.mauve/mauve}, or by
1295 specifying the location of that tree when invoking @samp{make}, as in
1296 @samp{make MAUVEDIR=~/mauve check}.

1299 is a free test suite that tests Java compiler front ends. This suite
1300 can be run as part of libgcj testing by placing the Jacks tree within
1301 the libjava testsuite at @file{libjava/testsuite/libjava.jacks/jacks}.
1303 @section How to interpret test results
1305 After the testsuite has run you'll find various @file{*.sum} and @file{*.log}
1306 files in the testsuite subdirectories. The @file{*.log} files contain a
1307 detailed log of the compiler invocations and the corresponding
1308 results, the @file{*.sum} files summarize the results. These summaries list
1309 all the tests that have been run with a corresponding status code:
1313 PASS: the test passed as expected
1315 XPASS: the test unexpectedly passed
1317 FAIL: the test unexpectedly failed
1319 XFAIL: the test failed as expected
1321 UNSUPPORTED: the test is not supported on this platform
1323 ERROR: the testsuite detected an error
1325 WARNING: the testsuite detected a possible problem
1328 It is normal for some tests to report unexpected failures. At the
1329 current time our testing harness does not allow fine grained control
1330 over whether or not a test is expected to fail. We expect to fix this
1331 problem in future releases.
1334 @section Submitting test results
1336 If you want to report the results to the GCC project, use the
1337 @file{contrib/test_summary} shell script. Start it in the @var{objdir} with
1340 @var{srcdir}/contrib/test_summary -p your_commentary.txt \
1341 -m gcc-testresults@@gcc.gnu.org |sh
1344 This script uses the @command{Mail} program to send the results, so
1345 make sure it is in your @env{PATH}. The file @file{your_commentary.txt} is
1346 prepended to the testsuite summary and should contain any special
1347 remarks you have on your results or your build environment. Please
1348 do not edit the testsuite result block or the subject line, as these
1349 messages are automatically parsed and presented at the
1350 @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/testresults/,,GCC testresults} web
1351 page. Here you can also gather information on how specific tests
1352 behave on different platforms and compare them with your results. A
1353 few failing testcases are possible even on released versions and you
1354 should look here first if you think your results are unreasonable.

1372 @chapter Installing GCC: Final installation
1375 Now that GCC has been built (and optionally tested), you can install it with
1377 cd @var{objdir}; make install
1380 We strongly recommend to install into a target directory where there is
1381 no previous version of GCC present.
1383 That step completes the installation of GCC; user level binaries can
1384 be found in @file{@var{prefix}/bin} where @var{prefix} is the value you
1385 specified with the @option{--prefix} to configure (or @file{/usr/local}
1386 by default). (If you specified @option{--bindir}, that directory will
1387 be used instead; otherwise, if you specified @option{--exec-prefix},
1388 @file{@var{exec-prefix}/bin} will be used.) Headers for the C++ and
1389 Java libraries are installed in @file{@var{prefix}/include}; libraries
1390 in @file{@var{libdir}} (normally @file{@var{prefix}/lib}); internal
1391 parts of the compiler in @file{@var{libdir}/gcc-lib}; documentation in
1392 info format in @file{@var{infodir}} (normally @file{@var{prefix}/info}).
1394 If you built a released version of GCC using @samp{make bootstrap} then please
1395 quickly review the build status page for your release, available from
1396 @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html}.
1397 If your system is not listed for the version of GCC that you built,
1399 @email{gcc@@gcc.gnu.org} indicating
1400 that you successfully built and installed GCC.
1401 Include the following information:
1405 Output from running @file{@var{srcdir}/config.guess}. Do not send us
1406 that file itself, just the one-line output from running it.
1409 The output of @samp{gcc -v} for your newly installed gcc.
1410 This tells us which version of GCC you built and the options you passed to
1414 Whether you enabled all languages or a subset of them. If you used a
1415 full distribution then this information is part of the configure
1416 options in the output of @samp{gcc -v}, but if you downloaded the
1417 ``core'' compiler plus additional front ends then it isn't apparent
1418 which ones you built unless you tell us about it.
1421 If the build was for GNU/Linux, also include:
1424 The distribution name and version (e.g., Red Hat 7.1 or Debian 2.2.3);
1425 this information should be available from @file{/etc/issue}.
1428 The version of the Linux kernel, available from @samp{uname --version}
1432 The version of glibc you used; for RPM-based systems like Red Hat,
1433 Mandrake, and SuSE type @samp{rpm -q glibc} to get the glibc version,
1434 and on systems like Debian and Progeny use @samp{dpkg -l libc6}.
1436 For other systems, you can include similar information if you think it is
1440 Any other information that you think would be useful to people building
1441 GCC on the same configuration. The new entry in the build status list
1442 will include a link to the archived copy of your message.
1445 We'd also like to know if the
1447 @ref{Specific, host/target specific installation notes}
1450 @uref{specific.html,,host/target specific installation notes}
1452 didn't include your host/target information or if that information is
1453 incomplete or out of date. Send a note to
1454 @email{gcc@@gcc.gnu.org} telling us how the information should be changed.
1456 If you find a bug, please report it following our
1457 @uref{../bugs.html,,bug reporting guidelines}.
1459 If you want to print the GCC manuals, do @samp{cd @var{objdir}; make
1460 dvi}. You will need to have @command{texi2dvi} (version at least 4.2)
1461 and @TeX{} installed. This creates a number of @file{.dvi} files in
1462 subdirectories of @file{@var{objdir}}; these may be converted for
1463 printing with programs such as @command{dvips}. You can also

1768 Systems using processors that implement the DEC Alpha architecture and
1769 are running the DEC/Compaq Unix (DEC OSF/1, Digital UNIX, or Compaq
1770 Tru64 UNIX) operating system, for example the DEC Alpha AXP systems.
1772 As of GCC 3.2, versions before @code{alpha*-dec-osf4} are no longer
1773 supported. (These are the versions which identify themselves as DEC
1776 In Digital Unix V4.0, virtual memory exhausted bootstrap failures
1777 may be fixed by configuring with @option{--with-gc=simple},
1778 reconfiguring Kernel Virtual Memory and Swap parameters
1779 per the @command{/usr/sbin/sys_check} Tuning Suggestions,
1780 or applying the patch in
1781 @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-08/msg00822.html}.
1783 In Tru64 UNIX V5.1, Compaq introduced a new assembler that does not
1784 currently (2001-06-13) work with @command{mips-tfile}. As a workaround,
1785 we need to use the old assembler, invoked via the barely documented
1786 @option{-oldas} option. To bootstrap GCC, you either need to use the
1790 % CC=cc @var{srcdir}/configure [@var{options}] [@var{target}]
1793 or you can use a copy of GCC 2.95.3 or higher built on Tru64 UNIX V4.0:
1796 % CC=gcc -Wa,-oldas @var{srcdir}/configure [@var{options}] [@var{target}]
1799 As of GNU binutils 2.11.2, neither GNU @command{as} nor GNU @command{ld}
1800 are supported on Tru64 UNIX, so you must not configure GCC with
1801 @option{--with-gnu-as} or @option{--with-gnu-ld}.
1803 The @option{--enable-threads} options isn't supported yet. A patch is
1804 in preparation for a future release.
1806 GCC writes a @samp{.verstamp} directive to the assembler output file
1807 unless it is built as a cross-compiler. It gets the version to use from
1808 the system header file @file{/usr/include/stamp.h}. If you install a
1809 new version of DEC Unix, you should rebuild GCC to pick up the new version
1812 Note that since the Alpha is a 64-bit architecture, cross-compilers from
1813 32-bit machines will not generate code as efficient as that generated
1814 when the compiler is running on a 64-bit machine because many
1815 optimizations that depend on being able to represent a word on the
1816 target in an integral value on the host cannot be performed. Building
1817 cross-compilers on the Alpha for 32-bit machines has only been tested in
1818 a few cases and may not work properly.
1820 @code{make compare} may fail on old versions of DEC Unix unless you add
1821 @option{-save-temps} to @code{CFLAGS}. On these systems, the name of the
1822 assembler input file is stored in the object file, and that makes
1823 comparison fail if it differs between the @code{stage1} and
1824 @code{stage2} compilations. The option @option{-save-temps} forces a
1825 fixed name to be used for the assembler input file, instead of a
1826 randomly chosen name in @file{/tmp}. Do not add @option{-save-temps}
1827 unless the comparisons fail without that option. If you add
1828 @option{-save-temps}, you will have to manually delete the @samp{.i} and
1829 @samp{.s} files after each series of compilations.
1831 GCC now supports both the native (ECOFF) debugging format used by DBX
1832 and GDB and an encapsulated STABS format for use only with GDB@. See the
1833 discussion of the @option{--with-stabs} option of @file{configure} above
1834 for more information on these formats and how to select them.
1836 There is a bug in DEC's assembler that produces incorrect line numbers
1837 for ECOFF format when the @samp{.align} directive is used. To work
1838 around this problem, GCC will not emit such alignment directives
1839 while writing ECOFF format debugging information even if optimization is
1840 being performed. Unfortunately, this has the very undesirable
1841 side-effect that code addresses when @option{-O} is specified are
1842 different depending on whether or not @option{-g} is also specified.
1844 To avoid this behavior, specify @option{-gstabs+} and use GDB instead of
1845 DBX@. DEC is now aware of this problem with the assembler and hopes to
1846 provide a fix shortly.

1852 Cray T3E systems running Unicos/Mk.
1854 This port is incomplete and has many known bugs. We hope to improve the
1855 support for this target soon. Currently, only the C front end is supported,
1856 and it is not possible to build parallel applications. Cray modules are not
1857 supported; in particular, Craylibs are assumed to be in
1858 @file{/opt/ctl/craylibs/craylibs}.
1860 You absolutely @strong{must} use GNU make on this platform. Also, you
1861 need to tell GCC where to find the assembler and the linker. The
1862 simplest way to do so is by providing @option{--with-as} and
1863 @option{--with-ld} to @file{configure}, e.g.@:
1866 configure --with-as=/opt/ctl/bin/cam --with-ld=/opt/ctl/bin/cld \
1867 --enable-languages=c
1870 The comparison test during @samp{make bootstrap} fails on Unicos/Mk
1871 because the assembler inserts timestamps into object files. You should
1872 be able to work around this by doing @samp{make all} after getting this

2037 The version of binutils installed in @file{/usr/bin} is known to work unless
2038 otherwise specified in any per-architecture notes. However, binutils
2039 2.12.1 or greater is known to improve overall testsuite results.
2041 FreeBSD 1 is no longer supported in GCC 3.2.
2043 For FreeBSD 2 or any mutant a.out versions of FreeBSD 3: All
2044 configuration support and files as shipped with GCC 2.95 are still in
2045 place. FreeBSD 2.2.7 has been known to bootstrap completely; however,
2046 it is unknown which version of binutils was used (it is assumed that it
2047 was the system copy in @file{/usr/bin}) and C++ EH failures were noted.
2049 For FreeBSD using the ELF file format: DWARF 2 debugging is now the
2050 default for all CPU architectures. It had been the default on
2051 FreeBSD/alpha since its inception. You may use @option{-gstabs} instead
2052 of @option{-g}, if you really want the old debugging format. There are
2053 no known issues with mixing object files and libraries with different
2054 debugging formats. Otherwise, this release of GCC should now match more
2055 of the configuration used in the stock FreeBSD configuration of GCC. In
2056 particular, @option{--enable-threads} is now configured by default.
2057 However, as a general user, do not attempt to replace the system
2058 compiler with this release. Known to bootstrap and check with good
2059 results on FreeBSD 3.0, 3.4, 4.0, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5-STABLE and 5-CURRENT@.
2061 In principle, @option{--enable-threads} is now compatible with
2062 @option{--enable-libgcj} on FreeBSD@. However, it has only been built
2063 and tested on @samp{i386-*-freebsd4.5} and @samp{alpha-*-freebsd5.0}.
2065 library may be incorrectly built (symbols are missing at link time).
2066 There is a rare timing-based startup hang (probably involves an
2067 assumption about the thread library). Multi-threaded boehm-gc (required for
2068 libjava) exposes severe threaded signal-handling bugs on FreeBSD before
2069 4.5-RELEASE. The alpha port may not fully bootstrap without some manual
2070 intervention: @command{gcjh} will crash with a floating-point exception while
2071 generating @file{java/lang/Double.h} (just copy the version built on
2072 @samp{i386-*-freebsd*} and rerun the top-level @command{gmake} with no
2074 should properly complete the bootstrap). Other CPU architectures
2075 supported by FreeBSD will require additional configuration tuning in, at
2076 the very least, both boehm-gc and libffi.

2098 We @emph{highly} recommend using gas/binutils 2.8 or newer on all hppa
2099 platforms; you may encounter a variety of problems when using the HP
2102 Specifically, @option{-g} does not work on HP-UX (since that system
2103 uses a peculiar debugging format which GCC does not know about), unless you

2106 @option{--with-as=@dots{}} options.
2108 If you wish to use the pa-risc 2.0 architecture support with a 32-bit
2109 runtime, you must use either the HP assembler, gas/binutils 2.11 or newer,
2111 @uref{ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/binutils/snapshots,,snapshot of gas}.
2113 There are two default scheduling models for instructions. These are
2114 PROCESSOR_7100LC and PROCESSOR_8000. They are selected from the pa-risc
2115 architecture specified for the target machine when configuring.
2116 PROCESSOR_8000 is the default. PROCESSOR_7100LC is selected when
2117 the target is a @samp{hppa1*} machine.
2119 The PROCESSOR_8000 model is not well suited to older processors. Thus,
2120 it is important to completely specify the machine architecture when
2121 configuring if you want a model other than PROCESSOR_8000. The macro
2122 TARGET_SCHED_DEFAULT can be defined in BOOT_CFLAGS if a different
2123 default scheduling model is desired.

2132 The HP assembler has major problems on this platform. We've tried to work
2133 around the worst of the problems. However, those workarounds may be causing
2134 linker crashes in some circumstances; the workarounds also probably prevent
2135 shared libraries from working. Use the GNU assembler to avoid these problems.
2138 The configuration scripts for GCC will also trigger a bug in the hpux9

2179 GCC 3.0 and up support HP-UX 11. On 64-bit capable systems, there
2180 are two distinct ports. The @samp{hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11*} port generates
2181 code for the 32-bit pa-risc runtime architecture. It uses the HP
2182 linker and is currently the default selected by config.guess. The
2183 optional @samp{hppa64-hp-hpux11*} port generates 64-bit code for the
2184 pa-risc 2.0 architecture. It must be explicitly selected using the
2185 @samp{--host=hppa64-hp-hpux11*} configure option. Different prefixes
2186 must be used if both ports are to be installed on the same system.

2201 GNU binutils 2.13 or later is recommended with the 64-bit port.
2202 The HP assembler has many limitations and is not recommended. For
2203 example, it does not support weak symbols or alias definitions.
2204 As a result, explicit template instantiations are required when
2205 using C++. Either the HP or GNU linker can be used but it may be
2206 necessary to use the GNU linker when dwarf2 exception support is
2209 There are several possible approaches to building the distribution.
2210 Binutils can be built first using the HP tools. Then, the GCC
2211 distribution can be built. The second approach is to build GCC
2212 first using the HP tools, then build binutils, then rebuild GCC.
2213 There have been problems with various binary distributions, so
2214 it is best not to start from a binary distribution.
2216 When starting with a HP compiler, it is preferable to use the ANSI
2217 compiler as the bundled compiler only supports traditional C.
2218 Bootstrapping with the bundled compiler is tested infrequently and
2219 problems often arise because of the subtle differences in semantics
2220 between traditional and ISO C.

2248 Currently Glibc 2.2.3 (and older releases) and GCC 3.0 are out of sync
2249 since the latest exception handling changes for GCC@. Compiling glibc
2250 with GCC 3.0 will give a binary incompatible glibc and therefore cause
2251 lots of problems and might make your system completly unusable. This
2252 will definitly need fixes in glibc but might also need fixes in GCC@. We
2253 strongly advise to wait for glibc 2.2.4 and to read the release notes of
2254 glibc 2.2.4 whether patches for GCC 3.0 are needed. You can use glibc

2295 Unlike earlier versions of GCC, the ability to generate COFF with this
2296 target is no longer provided.
2298 Earlier versions of GCC emitted DWARF 1 when generating ELF to allow
2299 the system debugger to be used. That support was too burdensome to
2300 maintain. GCC now emits only DWARF 2 for this target. This means you
2301 may use either the UDK debugger or GDB to debug programs built by this

2305 unrecognized opcodes when using the native assembler on OS versions before

2307 that version.) While it's rather rare to see these emitted by GCC yet,

2311 /usr/tmp/ccaNlqBc.s:22:unknown instruction: fcomip
2312 /usr/tmp/ccaNlqBc.s:50:unknown instruction: fucomip
2315 are symptoms of this problem. You may work around this by not
2316 building affected files with that flag, by using the GNU assembler, or
2317 by using the assembler provided with the current version of the OS@.

2321 The native SCO assembler that is provided with the OS at no
2322 charge is normally required. If, however, you must be able to use

2324 require GAS syntax) you may configure this package using the flags
2325 @uref{./configure.html#with-gnu-as,,@option{--with-gnu-as}}. You must
2326 use a recent version of GNU binutils; versions past 2.9.1 seem to work
2329 In general, the @option{--with-gnu-as} option isn't as well tested
2330 as the native assembler.
2332 Look in @file{gcc/config/i386/sco5.h} (search for ``messy'') for
2333 additional OpenServer-specific flags.
2335 Systems based on OpenServer before 5.0.4 (@samp{uname -X}

2337 @uref{ftp://ftp.sco.com/TLS/,,ftp://ftp.sco.com/TLS/}
2338 for C++ constructors and destructors to work right.
2340 The system linker in (at least) 5.0.4 and 5.0.5 will sometimes
2341 do the wrong thing for a construct that GCC will emit for PIC
2342 code. This can be seen as execution testsuite failures when using
2343 @option{-fPIC} on @file{921215-1.c}, @file{931002-1.c}, @file{nestfunc-1.c}, and @file{gcov-1.c}.
2344 For 5.0.5, an updated linker that will cure this problem is
2345 available. You must install both
2346 @uref{ftp://ftp.sco.com/Supplements/rs505a/,,ftp://ftp.sco.com/Supplements/rs505a/}
2347 and @uref{ftp://ftp.sco.com/SLS/,,OSS499A}.
2349 The dynamic linker in OpenServer 5.0.5 (earlier versions may show
2350 the same problem) aborts on certain G77-compiled programs. It's particularly
2351 likely to be triggered by building Fortran code with the @option{-fPIC} flag.
2352 Although it's conceivable that the error could be triggered by other
2353 code, only G77-compiled code has been observed to cause this abort.
2354 If you are getting core dumps immediately upon execution of your
2355 G77 program---and especially if it's compiled with @option{-fPIC}---try applying
2356 @uref{sco_osr5_g77.patch,,@file{sco_osr5_g77.patch}} to your @samp{libf2c} and
2358 Affected faults, when analyzed in a debugger, will show a stack
2359 backtrace with a fault occurring in @code{rtld()} and the program
2360 running as @file{/usr/lib/ld.so.1}. This problem has been reported to SCO
2361 engineering and will hopefully be addressed in later releases.

2369 This target emulates the SCO Universal Development Kit and requires that
2370 package be installed. (If it is installed, you will have a
2371 @file{/udk/usr/ccs/bin/cc} file present.) It's very much like the
2372 @samp{i?86-*-unixware7*} target
2373 but is meant to be used when hosting on a system where UDK isn't the
2374 default compiler such as OpenServer 5 or Unixware 2. This target will
2375 generate binaries that will run on OpenServer, Unixware 2, or Unixware 7,
2376 with the same warnings and caveats as the SCO UDK@.
2378 This target is a little tricky to build because we have to distinguish
2379 it from the native tools (so it gets headers, startups, and libraries
2380 from the right place) while making the tools not think we're actually
2381 building a cross compiler. The easiest way to do this is with a configure
2385 CC=/udk/usr/ccs/bin/cc @var{/your/path/to}/gcc/configure \
2386 --host=i686-pc-udk --target=i686-pc-udk --program-prefix=udk-

2441 AIX Make frequently has problems with GCC makefiles. GNU Make 3.76 or
2442 newer is recommended to build on this platform.
2444 Errors involving @code{alloca} when building GCC generally are due
2445 to an incorrect definition of @code{CC} in the Makefile or mixing files
2446 compiled with the native C compiler and GCC@. During the stage1 phase of
2447 the build, the native AIX compiler @strong{must} be invoked as @command{cc}
2448 (not @command{xlc}). Once @command{configure} has been informed of
2449 @command{xlc}, one needs to use @samp{make distclean} to remove the
2450 configure cache files and ensure that @env{CC} environment variable
2451 does not provide a definition that will confuse @command{configure}.
2452 If this error occurs during stage2 or later, then the problem most likely
2453 is the version of Make (see above).
2455 The GNU Assembler incorrectly reports that it supports WEAK symbols on
2456 AIX which causes GCC to try to utilize weak symbol functionality although
2457 it is not supported on the platform. The native @command{as} and
2458 @command{ld} still are recommended. The native AIX tools do
2459 interoperate with GCC@.
2461 Building @file{libstdc++.a} requires a fix for an AIX Assembler bug
2462 APAR IY26685 (AIX 4.3) or APAR IY25528 (AIX 5.1).
2464 @samp{libstdc++} in GCC 3.2 increments the major version number of the
2465 shared object and GCC installation places the @file{libstdc++.a}
2466 shared library in a common location which will overwrite the GCC 3.1
2467 version of the shared library. Applications either need to be
2468 re-linked against the new shared library or the GCC 3.1 version of the
2469 @samp{libstdc++} shared object needs to be available to the AIX
2470 runtime loader. The GCC 3.1 @samp{libstdc++.so.4} shared object can
2471 be installed for runtime dynamic loading using the following steps to
2472 set the @samp{F_LOADONLY} flag in the shared object for @emph{each}
2473 multilib @file{libstdc++.a} installed:
2475 Extract the shared object from each the GCC 3.1 @file{libstdc++.a}
2478 % ar -x libstdc++.a libstdc++.so.4
2481 Enable the @samp{F_LOADONLY} flag so that the shared object will be
2482 available for runtime dynamic loading, but not linking:
2484 % strip -e libstdc++.so.4
2487 Archive the runtime-only shared object in the GCC 3.2
2488 @file{libstdc++.a} archive:
2490 % ar -q libstdc++.a libstdc++.so.4
2493 Linking executables and shared libraries may produce warnings of
2494 duplicate symbols. The assembly files generated by GCC for AIX always
2495 have included multiple symbol definitions for certain global variable
2496 and function declarations in the original program. The warnings should
2497 not prevent the linker from producing a correct library or runnable
2500 AIX 4.3 utilizes a ``large format'' archive to support both 32-bit and
2501 64-bit object modules. The routines provided in AIX 4.3.0 and AIX 4.3.1
2502 to parse archive libraries did not handle the new format correctly.
2503 These routines are used by GCC and result in error messages during
2504 linking such as ``not a COFF file''. The version of the routines shipped
2505 with AIX 4.3.1 should work for a 32-bit environment. The @option{-g}
2506 option of the archive command may be used to create archives of 32-bit
2507 objects using the original ``small format''. A correct version of the
2508 routines is shipped with AIX 4.3.2 and above.
2510 Some versions of the AIX binder (linker) can fail with a relocation
2511 overflow severe error when the @option{-bbigtoc} option is used to link
2512 GCC-produced object files into an executable that overflows the TOC@. A fix

2524 The initial assembler shipped with AIX 4.3.0 generates incorrect object
2525 files. A fix for APAR IX74254 (64BIT DISASSEMBLED OUTPUT FROM COMPILER FAILS
2526 TO ASSEMBLE/BIND) is available from IBM Customer Support and from its

2530 AIX provides National Language Support (NLS)@. Compilers and assemblers
2531 use NLS to support locale-specific representations of various data
2532 formats including floating-point numbers (e.g., @samp{.} vs @samp{,} for
2533 separating decimal fractions). There have been problems reported where
2534 GCC does not produce the same floating-point formats that the assembler
2535 expects. If one encounters this problem, set the @env{LANG}
2536 environment variable to @samp{C} or @samp{En_US}.
2538 By default, GCC for AIX 4.1 and above produces code that can be used on
2539 both Power or PowerPC processors.
2541 A default can be specified with the @option{-mcpu=@var{cpu_type}}
2542 switch and using the configure option @option{--with-cpu-@var{cpu_type}}.

2597 Use @samp{configure unos} for building on Unos.
2599 The Unos assembler is named @code{casm} instead of @code{as}. For some
2600 strange reason linking @file{/bin/as} to @file{/bin/casm} changes the
2601 behavior, and does not work. So, when installing GCC, you should
2602 install the following script as @file{as} in the subdirectory where
2603 the passes of GCC are installed:
2610 The default Unos library is named @file{libunos.a} instead of
2611 @file{libc.a}. To allow GCC to function, either change all
2612 references to @option{-lc} in @file{gcc.c} to @option{-lunos} or link
2613 @file{/lib/libc.a} to @file{/lib/libunos.a}.
2615 @cindex @code{alloca}, for Unos
2616 When compiling GCC with the standard compiler, to overcome bugs in
2617 the support of @code{alloca}, do not use @option{-O} when making stage 2.
2618 Then use the stage 2 compiler with @option{-O} to make the stage 3
2619 compiler. This compiler will have the same characteristics as the usual
2620 stage 2 compiler on other systems. Use it to make a stage 4 compiler
2621 and compare that with stage 3 to verify proper compilation.
2623 (Perhaps simply defining @code{ALLOCA} in @file{x-crds} as described in
2624 the comments there will make the above paragraph superfluous. Please
2625 inform us of whether this works.)
2627 Unos uses memory segmentation instead of demand paging, so you will need
2628 a lot of memory. 5 Mb is barely enough if no other tasks are running.
2629 If linking @file{cc1} fails, try putting the object files into a library
2630 and linking from that library.

2648 A patched version of the assembler is available as the file
2649 @uref{ftp://altdorf.ai.mit.edu/archive/cph/hpux-8.0-assembler}. If you
2650 have HP software support, the patch can also be obtained directly from
2651 HP, as described in the following note:
2654 This is the patched assembler, to patch SR#1653-010439, where the
2655 assembler aborts on floating point constants.
2657 The bug is not really in the assembler, but in the shared library
2658 version of the function ``cvtnum(3c)''. The bug on ``cvtnum(3c)'' is
2659 SR#4701-078451. Anyway, the attached assembler uses the archive
2660 library version of ``cvtnum(3c)'' and thus does not exhibit the bug.
2663 This patch is also known as PHCO_4484.
2665 In addition, if you wish to use gas, you must use
2666 gas version 2.1 or later, and you must use the GNU linker version 2.1 or
2667 later. Earlier versions of gas relied upon a program which converted the
2668 gas output into the native HP-UX format, but that program has not been
2669 kept up to date. gdb does not understand that native HP-UX format, so
2670 you must use gas if you wish to use gdb.
2672 On HP-UX version 8.05, but not on 8.07 or more recent versions, the
2673 @code{fixproto} shell script triggers a bug in the system shell. If you
2674 encounter this problem, upgrade your operating system or use BASH (the
2675 GNU shell) to run @code{fixproto}. This bug will cause the fixproto
2676 program to report an error of the form:
2679 ./fixproto: sh internal 1K buffer overflow
2682 To fix this, you can also change the first line of the fixproto script

2694 On the Tower models 4@var{n}0 and 6@var{n}0, by default a process is not
2695 allowed to have more than one megabyte of memory. GCC cannot compile
2696 itself (or many other programs) with @option{-O} in that much memory.

2728 happens whenever you use GAS with the MIPS linker, but there is not
2729 really anything wrong, and it is okay to use the output file. You can
2730 stop such warnings by installing the GNU linker.
2732 It would be nice to extend GAS to produce the gp tables, but they are
2733 optional, and there should not be a warning about their absence.

2737 This configuration has considerable problems, which will be fixed in a
2740 In order to compile GCC on an SGI running IRIX 5, the ``compiler_dev.hdr''
2741 subsystem must be installed from the IDO CD-ROM supplied by Silicon
2742 Graphics. It is also available for download from
2743 @uref{http://www.sgi.com/developers/devtools/apis/ido.html,,http://www.sgi.com/developers/devtools/apis/ido.html}.
2745 @code{make compare} may fail on version 5 of IRIX unless you add
2746 @option{-save-temps} to @code{CFLAGS}. On these systems, the name of the
2747 assembler input file is stored in the object file, and that makes
2748 comparison fail if it differs between the @code{stage1} and
2749 @code{stage2} compilations. The option @option{-save-temps} forces a
2750 fixed name to be used for the assembler input file, instead of a
2751 randomly chosen name in @file{/tmp}. Do not add @option{-save-temps}
2752 unless the comparisons fail without that option. If you do you
2753 @option{-save-temps}, you will have to manually delete the @samp{.i} and
2754 @samp{.s} files after each series of compilations.
2756 If you use the MIPS C compiler to bootstrap, it may be necessary
2757 to increase its table size for switch statements with the
2758 @option{-Wf,-XNg1500} option. If you use the @option{-O2}
2759 optimization option, you also need to use @option{-Olimit 3000}.
2761 To enable debugging under IRIX 5, you must use GNU @command{as} 2.11.2
2763 and use the @option{--with-gnu-as} configure option when configuring GCC.
2764 GNU @command{as} is distributed as part of the binutils package.
2765 When using release 2.11.2, you need to apply a patch
2766 @uref{http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2001-07/msg00352.html,,http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2001-07/msg00352.html}
2767 which will be included in the next release of binutils.
2769 When building GCC, the build process loops rebuilding @command{cc1} over
2770 and over again. This happens on @samp{mips-sgi-irix5.2}, and possibly
2771 other platforms. It has been reported that this is a known bug in the
2772 @command{make} shipped with IRIX 5.2. We recommend you use GNU
2773 @command{make} instead of the vendor supplied @command{make} program;
2774 however, you may have success with @command{smake} on IRIX 5.2 if you do
2775 not have GNU @command{make} available.
2780 @heading @anchor{mips-sgi-irix6}mips-sgi-irix6
2782 If you are using IRIX @command{cc} as your bootstrap compiler, you must
2783 ensure that the N32 ABI is in use. To test this, compile a simple C
2784 file with @command{cc} and then run @command{file} on the
2785 resulting object file. The output should look like:
2788 test.o: ELF N32 MSB @dots{}
2794 test.o: ELF 32-bit MSB @dots{}
2800 test.o: ELF 64-bit MSB @dots{}
2803 then your version of @command{cc} uses the O32 or N64 ABI by default. You
2804 should set the environment variable @env{CC} to @samp{cc -n32}
2805 before configuring GCC@.
2807 If you want the resulting @command{gcc} to run on old 32-bit systems
2808 with the MIPS R4400 CPU, you need to ensure that only code for the mips3
2809 instruction set architecture (ISA) is generated. While GCC 3.x does
2810 this correctly, both GCC 2.95 and SGI's MIPSpro @command{cc} may change
2811 the ISA depending on the machine where GCC is built. Using one of them
2812 as the bootstrap compiler may result in mips4 code, which won't run at
2813 all on mips3-only systems. For the test program above, you should see:
2816 test.o: ELF N32 MSB mips-3 @dots{}
2822 test.o: ELF N32 MSB mips-4 @dots{}
2825 instead, you should set the environment variable @env{CC} to @samp{cc
2826 -n32 -mips3} or @samp{gcc -mips3} respectively before configuring GCC@.
2828 GCC on IRIX 6 is usually built to support both the N32 and N64 ABIs. If
2829 you build GCC on a system that doesn't have the N64 libraries installed,
2830 you need to configure with @option{--disable-multilib} so GCC doesn't
2831 try to use them. Look for @file{/usr/lib64/libc.so.1} to see if you
2832 have the 64-bit libraries installed.
2834 You must @emph{not} use GNU @command{as} (which isn't built anyway as of
2835 binutils 2.11.2) on IRIX 6 platforms; doing so will only cause problems.
2837 GCC does not currently support generating O32 ABI binaries in the
2838 @samp{mips-sgi-irix6} configurations. It is possible to create a GCC
2839 with O32 ABI only support by configuring it for the @samp{mips-sgi-irix5}
2840 target and using a patched GNU @command{as} 2.11.2 as documented in the
2841 @uref{#mips-sgi-irix5,,@samp{mips-sgi-irix5}} section above. Using the
2842 native assembler requires patches to GCC which will be included in a
2843 future release. It is
2844 expected that O32 ABI support will be available again in a future release.
2846 The @option{--enable-threads} option doesn't currently work, a patch is
2847 in preparation for a future release. The @option{--enable-libgcj}
2848 option is disabled by default: IRIX 6 uses a very low default limit
2849 (20480) for the command line length. Although libtool contains a
2850 workaround for this problem, at least the N64 @samp{libgcj} is known not
2851 to build despite this, running into an internal error of the native
2852 @command{ld}. A sure fix is to increase this limit (@samp{ncargs}) to
2853 its maximum of 262144 bytes. If you have root access, you can use the
2854 @command{systune} command to do this.
2856 GCC does not correctly pass/return structures which are
2857 smaller than 16 bytes and which are not 8 bytes. The problem is very
2858 involved and difficult to fix. It affects a number of other targets also,
2859 but IRIX 6 is affected the most, because it is a 64-bit target, and 4 byte
2860 structures are common. The exact problem is that structures are being padded
2861 at the wrong end, e.g.@: a 4 byte structure is loaded into the lower 4 bytes
2862 of the register when it should be loaded into the upper 4 bytes of the
2865 GCC is consistent with itself, but not consistent with the SGI C compiler
2866 (and the SGI supplied runtime libraries), so the only failures that can
2867 happen are when there are library functions that take/return such
2868 structures. There are very few such library functions. Currently this
2869 is known to affect @code{inet_ntoa}, @code{inet_lnaof},
2870 @code{inet_netof}, @code{inet_makeaddr}, and @code{semctl}. Until the
2871 bug is fixed, GCC contains workarounds for the known affected functions.

2874 information about using GCC on IRIX platforms.

2903 @uref{http://www.opensource.apple.com/tools/cvs/docs.html} for details.
2905 Also, the default stack limit of 512K is too small, and a bootstrap will
2906 typically fail when self-compiling @file{expr.c}. Set the stack to 800K
2907 or more, for instance by doing @samp{limit stack 800}. It's also
2908 convenient to use the GNU preprocessor instead of Apple's during the
2909 first stage of bootstrapping; this is automatic when doing @samp{make
2910 bootstrap}, but to do it from the toplevel objdir you will need to say
2911 @samp{make CC='cc -no-cpp-precomp' bootstrap}.
2913 Note that the version of GCC shipped by Apple typically includes a
2914 number of extensions not available in a standard GCC release. These
2915 extensions are generally specific to Mac programming.

3006 Sun does not ship a C compiler with Solaris 2. To bootstrap and install
3007 GCC you first have to install a pre-built compiler, see our
3008 @uref{binaries.html,,binaries page} for details.
3010 The Solaris 2 @command{/bin/sh} will often fail to configure
3011 @file{libstdc++-v3}, @file{boehm-gc} or
3012 @file{libjava}. If you encounter this problem, set @env{CONFIG_SHELL} to
3013 @command{/bin/ksh} in your environment before running @command{configure}.
3015 Solaris 2 comes with a number of optional OS packages. Some of these
3016 packages are needed to use GCC fully, namely @code{SUNWarc},
3017 @code{SUNWbtool}, @code{SUNWesu}, @code{SUNWhea}, @code{SUNWlibm},
3018 @code{SUNWsprot}, and @code{SUNWtoo}. If you did not install all
3019 optional packages when installing Solaris 2, you will need to verify that
3020 the packages that GCC needs are installed.
3022 To check whether an optional package is installed, use
3023 the @command{pkginfo} command. To add an optional package, use the
3024 @command{pkgadd} command. For further details, see the Solaris 2
3027 Trying to use the linker and other tools in
3028 @file{/usr/ucb} to install GCC has been observed to cause trouble.
3029 For example, the linker may hang indefinitely. The fix is to remove
3030 @file{/usr/ucb} from your @env{PATH}.
3032 All releases of GNU binutils prior to 2.11.2 have known bugs on this
3033 platform. We recommend the use of GNU binutils 2.11.2 or the vendor
3034 tools (Sun @command{as}, Sun @command{ld}).
3036 Sun bug 4296832 turns up when compiling X11 headers with GCC 2.95 or
3037 newer: @command{g++} will complain that types are missing. These headers assume
3038 that omitting the type means @code{int}; this assumption worked for C89 but
3039 is wrong for C++, and is now wrong for C99 also.
3041 @command{g++} accepts such (invalid) constructs with the option
3042 @option{-fpermissive}; it
3043 will assume that any missing type is @code{int} (as defined by C89).
3045 There are patches for Solaris 2.6 (105633-56 or newer for SPARC,
3046 106248-42 or newer for Intel), Solaris 7 (108376-21 or newer for SPARC,
3047 108377-20 for Intel), and Solaris 8 (108652-24 or newer for SPARC,

3055 When GCC is configured to use binutils 2.11.2 or later the binaries
3056 produced are smaller than the ones produced using Sun's native tools;
3057 this difference is quite significant for binaries containing debugging
3060 Sun @command{as} 4.x is broken in that it cannot cope with long symbol names.
3061 A typical error message might look similar to the following:
3064 /usr/ccs/bin/as: "/var/tmp/ccMsw135.s", line 11041: error:
3065 can't compute value of an expression involving an external symbol.
3068 This is Sun bug 4237974. This is fixed with patch 108908-02 for Solaris
3069 2.6 and has been fixed in later (5.x) versions of the assembler,
3070 starting with Solaris 7.
3072 Starting with Solaris 7, the operating system is capable of executing
3073 64-bit SPARC V9 binaries. GCC 3.1 and later properly supports
3074 this; the @option{-m64} option enables 64-bit code generation.
3075 However, if all you want is code tuned for the UltraSPARC CPU, you
3076 should try the @option{-mtune=ultrasparc} option instead, which produces
3077 code that, unlike full 64-bit code, can still run on non-UltraSPARC
3080 When configuring on a Solaris 7 or later system that is running a kernel
3081 that supports only 32-bit binaries, one must configure with
3082 @option{--disable-multilib}, since we will not be able to build the
3083 64-bit target libraries.

3094 recommend it only for people who use Sun's compilers.
3096 Here are some workarounds to this problem:
3099 Do not install Sun patch 107058-01 until after Sun releases a
3100 complete patch for bug 4210064. This is the simplest course to take,
3101 unless you must also use Sun's C compiler. Unfortunately 107058-01
3102 is preinstalled on some new Solaris 7-based hosts, so you may have to
3106 Copy the original, unpatched Solaris 7
3107 @command{/usr/ccs/bin/as} into
3108 @command{/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/3.1/as},
3109 adjusting the latter name to fit your local conventions and software
3113 Install Sun patch 106950-03 (1999-05-25) or later. Nobody with
3114 both 107058-01 and 106950-03 installed has reported the bug with GCC
3115 and Sun's dynamic linker. This last course of action is riskiest,
3116 for two reasons. First, you must install 106950 on all hosts that
3117 run code generated by GCC; it doesn't suffice to install it only on
3118 the hosts that run GCC itself. Second, Sun says that 106950-03 is
3119 only a partial fix for bug 4210064, but Sun doesn't know whether the
3120 partial fix is adequate for GCC@. Revision -08 or later should fix
3121 the bug. The current (as of 2001-09-24) revision is -14, and is included in
3122 the Solaris 7 Recommended Patch Cluster.

3132 A bug in the SunOS 4 linker will cause it to crash when linking

3136 To fix this problem you can either use the most recent version of
3137 binutils or get the latest SunOS 4 linker patch (patch ID 100170-10)
3138 from Sun's patch site.
3140 Sometimes on a Sun 4 you may observe a crash in the program
3141 @command{genflags} or @command{genoutput} while building GCC. This is said to
3142 be due to a bug in @command{sh}. You can probably get around it by running

3161 GCC versions 3.0 and higher require binutils 2.11.2 and glibc 2.2.4
3162 or newer on this platform. All earlier binutils and glibc
3163 releases mishandled unaligned relocations on @code{sparc-*-*} targets.

3171 GCC version 2.95 is not able to compile code correctly for
3172 @code{sparc64} targets. Users of the Linux kernel, at least,
3173 can use the @code{sparc32} program to start up a new shell
3174 invocation with an environment that causes @command{configure} to
3175 recognize (via @samp{uname -a}) the system as @samp{sparc-*-*} instead.

3182 The following compiler flags must be specified in the configure
3183 step in order to bootstrap this target with the Sun compiler:
3186 % CC="cc -xildoff -xarch=v9" @var{srcdir}/configure [@var{options}] [@var{target}]
3189 @option{-xildoff} turns off the incremental linker, and @option{-xarch=v9}
3190 specifies the v9 architecture to the Sun linker and assembler.

3196 On System V release 3, you may get this error message
3200 ld fatal: failed to write symbol name @var{something}
3201 in strings table for file @var{whatever}
3204 This probably indicates that the disk is full or your ulimit won't allow
3205 the file to be as large as it needs to be.
3207 This problem can also result because the kernel parameter @code{MAXUMEM}
3208 is too small. If so, you must regenerate the kernel and make the value
3209 much larger. The default value is reported to be 1024; a value of 32768
3210 is said to work. Smaller values may also work.
3212 On System V, if you get an error like this,
3215 /usr/local/lib/bison.simple: In function `yyparse':
3216 /usr/local/lib/bison.simple:625: virtual memory exhausted
3220 that too indicates a problem with disk space, ulimit, or @code{MAXUMEM}.
3222 On a System V release 4 system, make sure @file{/usr/bin} precedes
3223 @file{/usr/ucb} in @code{PATH}. The @code{cc} command in
3224 @file{/usr/ucb} uses libraries which have bugs.

3237 Support for VxWorks is in flux. At present GCC supports @emph{only} the
3238 very recent VxWorks 5.5 (aka Tornado 2.2) release, and only on PowerPC.
3239 We welcome patches for other architectures supported by VxWorks 5.5.
3240 Support for VxWorks AE would also be welcome; we believe this is merely
3241 a matter of writing an appropriate ``configlette'' (see below). We are
3242 not interested in supporting older, a.out or COFF-based, versions of
3245 VxWorks comes with an older version of GCC installed in
3246 @file{@var{$WIND_BASE}/host}; we recommend you do not overwrite it.
3247 Choose an installation @var{prefix} entirely outside @var{$WIND_BASE}.
3248 Before running @command{configure}, create the directories @file{@var{prefix}}
3249 and @file{@var{prefix}/bin}. Link or copy the appropriate assembler,
3250 linker, etc. into @file{@var{prefix}/bin}, and set your @var{PATH} to
3251 include that directory while running both @command{configure} and
3254 You must give @command{configure} the
3255 @option{--with-headers=@var{$WIND_BASE}/target/h} switch so that it can
3256 find the VxWorks system headers. Since VxWorks is a cross compilation
3257 target only, you must also specify @option{--target=@var{target}}.
3258 @command{configure} will attempt to create the directory
3259 @file{@var{prefix}/@var{target}/sys-include} and copy files into it;
3260 make sure the user running @command{configure} has sufficient privilege
3263 GCC's exception handling runtime requires a special ``configlette''
3264 module, @file{contrib/gthr_supp_vxw_5x.c}. Follow the instructions in
3265 that file to add the module to your kernel build. (Future versions of
3266 VxWorks will incorporate this module.)

3273 This target is intended for embedded Xtensa systems using the
3274 @samp{newlib} C library. It uses ELF but does not support shared
3275 objects. Designed-defined instructions specified via the
3276 Tensilica Instruction Extension (TIE) language are only supported
3277 through inline assembly.
3279 The Xtensa configuration information must be specified prior to
3280 building GCC@. The @file{gcc/config/xtensa/xtensa-config.h} header
3281 file contains the configuration information. If you created your
3282 own Xtensa configuration with the Xtensa Processor Generator, the
3283 downloaded files include a customized copy of this header file,
3284 which you can use to replace the default header file.

3293 position-independent code (PIC) regardless of whether the
3294 @option{-fpic} or @option{-fPIC} options are used. In other
3295 respects, this target is the same as the

3325 @heading @anchor{older}Older systems
3327 GCC contains support files for many older (1980s and early
3328 1990s) Unix variants. For the most part, support for these systems
3329 has not been deliberately removed, but it has not been maintained for
3330 several years and may suffer from bitrot.
3332 Starting with GCC 3.1, each release has a list of ``obsoleted'' systems.
3333 Support for these systems is still present in that release, but
3334 @command{configure} will fail unless the @option{--enable-obsolete}
3335 option is given. Unless a maintainer steps forward, support for these
3336 systems will be removed from the next release of GCC@.
3338 Support for old systems as hosts for GCC can cause problems if the
3339 workarounds for compiler, library and operating system bugs affect the
3340 cleanliness or maintainability of the rest of GCC@. In some cases, to
3341 bring GCC up on such a system, if still possible with current GCC, may
3342 require first installing an old version of GCC which did work on that
3343 system, and using it to compile a more recent GCC, to avoid bugs in the
3344 vendor compiler. Old releases of GCC 1 and GCC 2 are available in the
3345 @file{old-releases} directory on the @uref{../mirrors.html,,GCC mirror
3346 sites}. Header bugs may generally be avoided using
3347 @command{fixincludes}, but bugs or deficiencies in libraries and the
3348 operating system may still cause problems.
3350 Support for older systems as targets for cross-compilation is less
3351 problematic than support for them as hosts for GCC; if an enthusiast
3352 wishes to make such a target work again (including resurrecting any of
3353 the targets that never worked with GCC 2, starting from the last CVS
3354 version before they were removed), patches
3355 @uref{../contribute.html,,following the usual requirements} would be
3356 likely to be accepted, since they should not affect the support for more
3359 For some systems, old versions of GNU binutils may also be useful,
3360 and are available from @file{pub/binutils/old-releases} on
3361 @uref{http://sources.redhat.com/mirrors.html,,sources.redhat.com mirror sites}.
3363 Some of the information on specific systems above relates to
3364 such older systems, but much of the information
3365 about GCC on such systems (which may no longer be applicable to
3366 current GCC) is to be found in the GCC texinfo manual.
