  86. 

  87. <p>Like most GNU software, GCC must be configured before it can be built.

  88. This document describes the recommended configuration procedure

  89. for both native and cross targets.

  90. </p>

  91. <p>We use <var>srcdir</var> to refer to the toplevel source directory for

  92. GCC; we use <var>objdir</var> to refer to the toplevel build/object directory.

  93. </p>

  94. <p>If you obtained the sources by cloning the repository, <var>srcdir</var>

  95. must refer to the top <samp>gcc</samp> directory, the one where the

  96. <samp>MAINTAINERS</samp> file can be found, and not its <samp>gcc</samp>

  97. subdirectory, otherwise the build will fail.

  98. </p>

  99. <p>If either <var>srcdir</var> or <var>objdir</var> is located on an automounted NFS

  100. file system, the shell&rsquo;s built-in <code>pwd</code> command will return

  101. temporary pathnames.  Using these can lead to various sorts of build

  102. problems.  To avoid this issue, set the <code>PWDCMD</code> environment

  103. variable to an automounter-aware <code>pwd</code> command, e.g.,

  104. <code>pawd</code> or &lsquo;<samp>amq -w</samp>&rsquo;, during the configuration and build

  105. phases.

  106. </p>

  107. <p>First, we <strong>highly</strong> recommend that GCC be built into a

  108. separate directory from the sources which does <strong>not</strong> reside

  109. within the source tree.  This is how we generally build GCC; building

  110. where <var>srcdir</var> == <var>objdir</var> should still work, but doesn&rsquo;t

  111. get extensive testing; building where <var>objdir</var> is a subdirectory

  112. of <var>srcdir</var> is unsupported.

  113. </p>

  114. <p>If you have previously built GCC in the same directory for a

  115. different target machine, do &lsquo;<samp>make distclean</samp>&rsquo; to delete all files

  116. that might be invalid.  One of the files this deletes is <samp>Makefile</samp>;

  117. if &lsquo;<samp>make distclean</samp>&rsquo; complains that <samp>Makefile</samp> does not exist

  118. or issues a message like &ldquo;don&rsquo;t know how to make distclean&rdquo; it probably

  119. means that the directory is already suitably clean.  However, with the

  120. recommended method of building in a separate <var>objdir</var>, you should

  121. simply use a different <var>objdir</var> for each target.

  122. </p>

  123. <p>Second, when configuring a native system, either <code>cc</code> or

  124. <code>gcc</code> must be in your path or you must set <code>CC</code> in

  125. your environment before running configure.  Otherwise the configuration

  126. scripts may fail.

  127. </p>

  128. 

  129. <p>To configure GCC:

  130. </p>

  131. <div class="smallexample">

  132. <pre class="smallexample">% mkdir <var>objdir</var>

  133. % cd <var>objdir</var>

  134. % <var>srcdir</var>/configure [<var>options</var>] [<var>target</var>]

  135. </pre></div>

  138. <h3 class="heading">Distributor options</h3>

  139. 

  140. <p>If you will be distributing binary versions of GCC, with modifications

  141. to the source code, you should use the options described in this

  142. section to make clear that your version contains modifications.

  143. </p>

  144. <dl compact="compact">

  179. <a name="Target-specification"></a>

  180. <h3 class="heading">Target specification</h3>

  181. <ul>

  182. <li> GCC has code to correctly determine the correct value for <var>target</var>

  183. for nearly all native systems.  Therefore, we highly recommend you do

  184. not provide a configure target when configuring a native compiler.

  185. 

  186. </li><li> <var>target</var> must be specified as <samp>--target=<var>target</var></samp>

  187. when configuring a cross compiler; examples of valid targets would be

  188. m68k-elf, sh-elf, etc.

  189. 

  190. </li><li> Specifying just <var>target</var> instead of <samp>--target=<var>target</var></samp>

  191. implies that the host defaults to <var>target</var>.

  192. </li></ul>

  193. 

  194. 

  195. <a name="Options-specification"></a>

  196. <h3 class="heading">Options specification</h3>

  197. 

  198. <p>Use <var>options</var> to override several configure time options for

  199. GCC.  A list of supported <var>options</var> follows; &lsquo;<samp>configure

  200. --help</samp>&rsquo; may list other options, but those not listed below may not

  201. work and should not normally be used.

  202. </p>

  203. <p>Note that each <samp>--enable</samp> option has a corresponding

  204. <samp>--disable</samp> option and that each <samp>--with</samp> option has a

  205. corresponding <samp>--without</samp> option.

  213. </p>

  214. <p>We <strong>highly</strong> recommend against <var>dirname</var> being the same or a

  305. <dt><code>--program-prefix=<var>prefix</var></code></dt>

  306. <dd><p>GCC supports some transformations of the names of its programs when

  307. installing them.  This option prepends <var>prefix</var> to the names of

  308. programs to install in <var>bindir</var> (see above).  For example, specifying

  309. <samp>--program-prefix=foo-</samp> would result in &lsquo;<samp>gcc</samp>&rsquo;

  310. being installed as <samp>/usr/local/bin/foo-gcc</samp>.

  315. (see above).  For example, specifying <samp>--program-suffix=-3.1</samp>

  316. would result in &lsquo;<samp>gcc</samp>&rsquo; being installed as

  317. <samp>/usr/local/bin/gcc-3.1</samp>.

  318. </p>

  319. </dd>

  320. <dt><code>--program-transform-name=<var>pattern</var></code></dt>

  321. <dd><p>Applies the &lsquo;<samp>sed</samp>&rsquo; script <var>pattern</var> to be applied to the names

  322. of programs to install in <var>bindir</var> (see above).  <var>pattern</var> has to

  323. consist of one or more basic &lsquo;<samp>sed</samp>&rsquo; editing commands, separated by

  324. semicolons.  For example, if you want the &lsquo;<samp>gcc</samp>&rsquo; program name to be

  325. transformed to the installed program <samp>/usr/local/bin/myowngcc</samp> and

  326. the &lsquo;<samp>g++</samp>&rsquo; program name to be transformed to

  327. <samp>/usr/local/bin/gspecial++</samp> without changing other program names,

  328. you could use the pattern

  329. <samp>--program-transform-name='s/^gcc$/myowngcc/; s/^g++$/gspecial++/'</samp>

  330. to achieve this effect.

  331. </p>

  332. <p>All three options can be combined and used together, resulting in more

  333. complex conversion patterns.  As a basic rule, <var>prefix</var> (and

  334. <var>suffix</var>) are prepended (appended) before further transformations

  335. can happen with a special transformation script <var>pattern</var>.

  336. </p>

  337. <p>As currently implemented, this option only takes effect for native

  338. builds; cross compiler binaries&rsquo; names are not transformed even when a

  339. transformation is explicitly asked for by one of these options.

  340. </p>

  341. <p>For native builds, some of the installed programs are also installed

  342. with the target alias in front of their name, as in

  343. &lsquo;<samp>i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc</samp>&rsquo;.  All of the above transformations happen

  344. before the target alias is prepended to the name&mdash;so, specifying

  345. <samp>--program-prefix=foo-</samp> and <samp>program-suffix=-3.1</samp>, the

  346. resulting binary would be installed as

  347. <samp>/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-foo-gcc-3.1</samp>.

  348. </p>

  349. <p>As a last shortcoming, none of the installed Ada programs are

  350. transformed yet, which will be fixed in some time.

  351. </p>

  352. </dd>

  353. <dt><code>--with-local-prefix=<var>dirname</var></code></dt>

  354. <dd><p>Specify the

  355. installation directory for local include files.  The default is

  356. <samp>/usr/local</samp>.  Specify this option if you want the compiler to

  357. search directory <samp><var>dirname</var>/include</samp> for locally installed

  358. header files <em>instead</em> of <samp>/usr/local/include</samp>.

  359. </p>

  360. <p>You should specify <samp>--with-local-prefix</samp> <strong>only</strong> if your

  361. site has a different convention (not <samp>/usr/local</samp>) for where to put

  362. site-specific files.

  363. </p>

  364. <p>The default value for <samp>--with-local-prefix</samp> is <samp>/usr/local</samp>

  365. regardless of the value of <samp>--prefix</samp>.  Specifying

  366. <samp>--prefix</samp> has no effect on which directory GCC searches for

  367. local header files.  This may seem counterintuitive, but actually it is

  368. logical.

  369. </p>

  370. <p>The purpose of <samp>--prefix</samp> is to specify where to <em>install

  371. GCC</em>.  The local header files in <samp>/usr/local/include</samp>&mdash;if you put

  372. any in that directory&mdash;are not part of GCC.  They are part of other

  373. programs&mdash;perhaps many others.  (GCC installs its own header files in

  374. another directory which is based on the <samp>--prefix</samp> value.)

  375. </p>

  376. <p>Both the local-prefix include directory and the GCC-prefix include

  377. directory are part of GCC&rsquo;s &ldquo;system include&rdquo; directories.  Although these

  378. two directories are not fixed, they need to be searched in the proper

  379. order for the correct processing of the include_next directive.  The

  380. local-prefix include directory is searched before the GCC-prefix

  381. include directory.  Another characteristic of system include directories

  382. is that pedantic warnings are turned off for headers in these directories.

  383. </p>

  384. <p>Some autoconf macros add <samp>-I <var>directory</var></samp> options to the

  385. compiler command line, to ensure that directories containing installed

  386. packages&rsquo; headers are searched.  When <var>directory</var> is one of GCC&rsquo;s

  387. system include directories, GCC will ignore the option so that system

  388. directories continue to be processed in the correct order.  This

  389. may result in a search order different from what was specified but the

  390. directory will still be searched.

  391. </p>

  392. <p>GCC automatically searches for ordinary libraries using

  393. <code>GCC_EXEC_PREFIX</code>.  Thus, when the same installation prefix is

  394. used for both GCC and packages, GCC will automatically search for

  395. both headers and libraries.  This provides a configuration that is

  396. easy to use.  GCC behaves in a manner similar to that when it is

  397. installed as a system compiler in <samp>/usr</samp>.

  398. </p>

  399. <p>Sites that need to install multiple versions of GCC may not want to

  400. use the above simple configuration.  It is possible to use the
