README for GNU development tools
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers,
|
|
|
|
|
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
|
1999-05-02 10:18:14 +00:00
|
|
|
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release,
|
1996-11-03 17:03:03 +00:00
|
|
|
see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this
|
|
|
|
|
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.
|
|
|
|
|

|
It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
|
|
|
|
|
tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein,
|
|
|
|
|
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
|
|
|
|
|
then do:
|
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
1999-05-02 10:18:14 +00:00
|
|
|
(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
|
1996-11-03 17:03:03 +00:00
|
|
|
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can
|
|
|
|
|
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
|
|
|
|
|
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
|
|
|
|
|
and OS.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
|
|
|
|
|
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
|
|
|
|
|
also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CC=gcc ./configure
|
1999-05-02 10:18:14 +00:00
|
|
|
make
|
1996-11-03 17:03:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A similar example using csh:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
setenv CC gcc
|
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
1999-05-02 10:18:14 +00:00
|
|
|
make
|
