41 | <p>Note most of this information is out of date and superseded by the
|
---|
42 | previous chapters of this manual. It is provided for historical
|
---|
43 | reference only, because of a lack of volunteers to merge it into the
|
---|
44 | main manual.
|
---|
45 |
|
---|
46 | <p>Here is the procedure for installing GNU CC on a GNU or Unix system.
|
---|
47 | See <a href="#VMS%20Install">VMS Install</a>, for VMS systems.
|
---|
48 |
|
---|
49 | <ol type=1 start=1>
|
---|
50 | <li>If you have chosen a configuration for GNU CC which requires other GNU
|
---|
51 | tools (such as GAS or the GNU linker) instead of the standard system
|
---|
52 | tools, install the required tools in the build directory under the names
|
---|
53 | <code>as</code>, <code>ld</code> or whatever is appropriate.
|
---|
54 |
|
---|
55 | <p>Alternatively, you can do subsequent compilation using a value of the
|
---|
56 | <code>PATH</code> environment variable such that the necessary GNU tools come
|
---|
57 | before the standard system tools.
|
---|
58 |
|
---|
59 | </p><li>Specify the host, build and target machine configurations. You do this
|
---|
60 | when you run the <code>configure</code> script.
|
---|
61 |
|
---|
62 | <p>The <dfn>build</dfn> machine is the system which you are using, the
|
---|
63 | <dfn>host</dfn> machine is the system where you want to run the resulting
|
---|
64 | compiler (normally the build machine), and the <dfn>target</dfn> machine is
|
---|
65 | the system for which you want the compiler to generate code.
|
---|
66 |
|
---|
67 | <p>If you are building a compiler to produce code for the machine it runs
|
---|
68 | on (a native compiler), you normally do not need to specify any operands
|
---|
69 | to <code>configure</code>; it will try to guess the type of machine you are on
|
---|
70 | and use that as the build, host and target machines. So you don't need
|
---|
71 | to specify a configuration when building a native compiler unless
|
---|
72 | <code>configure</code> cannot figure out what your configuration is or guesses
|
---|
73 | wrong.
|
---|
74 |
|
---|
75 | <p>In those cases, specify the build machine's <dfn>configuration name</dfn>
|
---|
76 | with the <code>--host</code> option; the host and target will default to be
|
---|
77 | the same as the host machine. (If you are building a cross-compiler,
|
---|
78 | see <a href="#Cross-Compiler">Cross-Compiler</a>.)
|
---|
79 |
|
---|
80 | <p>Here is an example:
|
---|
81 |
|
---|
82 | <pre class="smallexample"> ./configure --host=sparc-sun-sunos4.1
|
---|
83 | </pre>
|
---|
84 |
|
---|
85 | <p>A configuration name may be canonical or it may be more or less
|
---|
86 | abbreviated.
|
---|
87 |
|
---|
88 | <p>A canonical configuration name has three parts, separated by dashes.
|
---|
89 | It looks like this: <code></code><var>cpu</var><code>-</code><var>company</var><code>-</code><var>system</var><code></code>.
|
---|
90 | (The three parts may themselves contain dashes; <code>configure</code>
|
---|
91 | can figure out which dashes serve which purpose.) For example,
|
---|
92 | <code>m68k-sun-sunos4.1</code> specifies a Sun 3.
|
---|
93 |
|
---|
94 | <p>You can also replace parts of the configuration by nicknames or aliases.
|
---|
95 | For example, <code>sun3</code> stands for <code>m68k-sun</code>, so
|
---|
96 | <code>sun3-sunos4.1</code> is another way to specify a Sun 3.
|
---|
97 |
|
---|
98 | <p>You can specify a version number after any of the system types, and some
|
---|
99 | of the CPU types. In most cases, the version is irrelevant, and will be
|
---|
100 | ignored. So you might as well specify the version if you know it.
|
---|
101 |
|
---|
102 | <p>See <a href="#Configurations">Configurations</a>, for a list of supported configuration names and
|
---|
103 | notes on many of the configurations. You should check the notes in that
|
---|
104 | section before proceeding any further with the installation of GNU CC.
|
---|

108 | <h2><a name="Configurations"></a>Configurations Supported by GNU CC</h2>
|
---|
109 |
|
---|
110 | <p>Here are the possible CPU types:
|
---|
111 |
|
---|
112 | <blockquote>
|
---|
113 | 1750a, a29k, alpha, arm, avr, c<var>n</var>, clipper, dsp16xx, elxsi, fr30, h8300,
|
---|
114 | hppa1.0, hppa1.1, i370, i386, i486, i586, i686, i786, i860, i960, ip2k, m32r,
|
---|
115 | m68000, m68k, m6811, m6812, m88k, mcore, mips, mipsel, mips64, mips64el,
|
---|
116 | mn10200, mn10300, ns32k, pdp11, powerpc, powerpcle, romp, rs6000, sh, sparc,
|
---|
117 | sparclite, sparc64, v850, vax, we32k.
|
---|
118 | </blockquote>
|
---|
119 |
|
---|
120 | <p>Here are the recognized company names. As you can see, customary
|
---|
121 | abbreviations are used rather than the longer official names.
|
---|
122 |
|
---|
123 | <blockquote>
|
---|
124 | acorn, alliant, altos, apollo, apple, att, bull,
|
---|
125 | cbm, convergent, convex, crds, dec, dg, dolphin,
|
---|
126 | elxsi, encore, harris, hitachi, hp, ibm, intergraph, isi,
|
---|
127 | mips, motorola, ncr, next, ns, omron, plexus,
|
---|
128 | sequent, sgi, sony, sun, tti, unicom, wrs.
|
---|
129 | </blockquote>
|
---|
130 |
|
---|
131 | <p>The company name is meaningful only to disambiguate when the rest of
|
---|
132 | the information supplied is insufficient. You can omit it, writing
|
---|
133 | just <code></code><var>cpu</var><code>-</code><var>system</var><code></code>, if it is not needed. For example,
|
---|
134 | <code>vax-ultrix4.2</code> is equivalent to <code>vax-dec-ultrix4.2</code>.
|
---|
135 |
|
---|
136 | <p>Here is a list of system types:
|
---|
137 |
|
---|
138 | <blockquote>
|
---|
139 | 386bsd, aix, acis, amigaos, aos, aout, aux, bosx, bsd, clix, coff, ctix, cxux,
|
---|
140 | dgux, dynix, ebmon, ecoff, elf, esix, freebsd, hms, genix, gnu, linux,
|
---|
141 | linux-gnu, hiux, hpux, iris, irix, isc, luna, lynxos, mach, minix, msdos, mvs,
|
---|
142 | netbsd, newsos, nindy, ns, osf, osfrose, ptx, riscix, riscos, rtu, sco, sim,
|
---|
143 | solaris, sunos, sym, sysv, udi, ultrix, unicos, uniplus, unos, vms, vsta,
|
---|
144 | vxworks, winnt, xenix.
|
---|
145 | </blockquote>
|
---|
146 |
|
---|
147 | <p>You can omit the system type; then <code>configure</code> guesses the
|
---|
148 | operating system from the CPU and company.
|
---|
149 |
|
---|
150 | <p>You can add a version number to the system type; this may or may not
|
---|
151 | make a difference. For example, you can write <code>bsd4.3</code> or
|
---|
152 | <code>bsd4.4</code> to distinguish versions of BSD. In practice, the version
|
---|
153 | number is most needed for <code>sysv3</code> and <code>sysv4</code>, which are often
|
---|
154 | treated differently.
|
---|
155 |
|
---|
156 | <p><code>linux-gnu</code> is the canonical name for the GNU/Linux target; however
|
---|
157 | GNU CC will also accept <code>linux</code>. The version of the kernel in use is
|
---|
158 | not relevant on these systems. A suffix such as <code>libc1</code> or <code>aout</code>
|
---|
159 | distinguishes major versions of the C library; all of the suffixed versions
|
---|
160 | are obsolete.
|
---|
161 |
|
---|
162 | <p>If you specify an impossible combination such as <code>i860-dg-vms</code>,
|
---|
163 | then you may get an error message from <code>configure</code>, or it may
|
---|
164 | ignore part of the information and do the best it can with the rest.
|
---|
165 | <code>configure</code> always prints the canonical name for the alternative
|
---|
166 | that it used. GNU CC does not support all possible alternatives.
|
---|
167 |
|
---|
168 | <p>Often a particular model of machine has a name. Many machine names are
|
---|
169 | recognized as aliases for CPU/company combinations. Thus, the machine
|
---|
170 | name <code>sun3</code>, mentioned above, is an alias for <code>m68k-sun</code>.
|
---|
171 | Sometimes we accept a company name as a machine name, when the name is
|
---|
172 | popularly used for a particular machine. Here is a table of the known
|
---|
173 | machine names:
|
---|
174 |
|
---|
175 | <blockquote>
|
---|
176 | 3300, 3b1, 3b<var>n</var>, 7300, altos3068, altos,
|
---|
177 | apollo68, att-7300, balance,
|
---|
178 | convex-c<var>n</var>, crds, decstation-3100,
|
---|
179 | decstation, delta, encore,
|
---|
180 | fx2800, gmicro, hp7<var>nn</var>, hp8<var>nn</var>,
|
---|
181 | hp9k2<var>nn</var>, hp9k3<var>nn</var>, hp9k7<var>nn</var>,
|
---|
182 | hp9k8<var>nn</var>, iris4d, iris, isi68,
|
---|
183 | m3230, magnum, merlin, miniframe,
|
---|
184 | mmax, news-3600, news800, news, next,
|
---|
185 | pbd, pc532, pmax, powerpc, powerpcle, ps2, risc-news,
|
---|
186 | rtpc, sun2, sun386i, sun386, sun3,
|
---|
187 | sun4, symmetry, tower-32, tower.
|
---|
188 | </blockquote>
|
---|
189 |
|
---|
190 | <p>Remember that a machine name specifies both the cpu type and the company
|
---|
191 | name.
|
---|
192 | If you want to install your own homemade configuration files, you can
|
---|
193 | use <code>local</code> as the company name to access them. If you use
|
---|
194 | configuration <code></code><var>cpu</var><code>-local</code>, the configuration name
|
---|
195 | without the cpu prefix
|
---|
196 | is used to form the configuration file names.
|
---|
197 |
|
---|
198 | <p>Thus, if you specify <code>m68k-local</code>, configuration uses
|
---|
199 | files <code>m68k.md</code>, <code>local.h</code>, <code>m68k.c</code>,
|
---|
200 | <code>xm-local.h</code>, <code>t-local</code>, and <code>x-local</code>, all in the
|
---|
201 | directory <code>config/m68k</code>.
|
---|
202 |
|
---|
203 | <p>Here is a list of configurations that have special treatment or special
|
---|
204 | things you must know:
|
---|

|
---|

211 | <h2><a name="Cross-Compiler"></a>Building and Installing a Cross-Compiler</h2>
|
---|
212 |
|
---|
213 | <p>GNU CC can function as a cross-compiler for many machines, but not all.
|
---|
214 |
|
---|
215 | <ul>
|
---|
216 | <li>Cross-compilers for the Mips as target using the Mips assembler
|
---|
217 | currently do not work, because the auxiliary programs
|
---|
218 | <code>mips-tdump.c</code> and <code>mips-tfile.c</code> can't be compiled on
|
---|
219 | anything but a Mips. It does work to cross compile for a Mips
|
---|
220 | if you use the GNU assembler and linker.
|
---|
221 |
|
---|
222 | <li>Cross-compilers between machines with different floating point formats
|
---|
223 | have not all been made to work. GNU CC now has a floating point
|
---|
224 | emulator with which these can work, but each target machine description
|
---|
225 | needs to be updated to take advantage of it.
|
---|
226 |
|
---|
227 | <li>Cross-compilation between machines of different word sizes is
|
---|
228 | somewhat problematic and sometimes does not work.
|
---|
229 | </ul>
|
---|
230 |
|
---|
231 | <p>Since GNU CC generates assembler code, you probably need a
|
---|
232 | cross-assembler that GNU CC can run, in order to produce object files.
|
---|
233 | If you want to link on other than the target machine, you need a
|
---|
234 | cross-linker as well. You also need header files and libraries suitable
|
---|
235 | for the target machine that you can install on the host machine.
|
---|
236 |
|
---|
237 | <h2>Steps of Cross-Compilation</h2>
|
---|
238 |
|
---|
239 | <p>To compile and run a program using a cross-compiler involves several
|
---|
240 | steps:
|
---|
241 |
|
---|
242 | <ul>
|
---|
243 | <li>Run the cross-compiler on the host machine to produce assembler files
|
---|
244 | for the target machine. This requires header files for the target
|
---|
245 | machine.
|
---|
246 |
|
---|
247 | <li>Assemble the files produced by the cross-compiler. You can do this
|
---|
248 | either with an assembler on the target machine, or with a
|
---|
249 | cross-assembler on the host machine.
|
---|
250 |
|
---|
251 | <li>Link those files to make an executable. You can do this either with a
|
---|
252 | linker on the target machine, or with a cross-linker on the host
|
---|
253 | machine. Whichever machine you use, you need libraries and certain
|
---|
254 | startup files (typically <code>crt....o</code>) for the target machine.
|
---|
255 | </ul>
|
---|
256 |
|
---|
257 | <p>It is most convenient to do all of these steps on the same host machine,
|
---|
258 | since then you can do it all with a single invocation of GNU CC. This
|
---|
259 | requires a suitable cross-assembler and cross-linker. For some targets,
|
---|
260 | the GNU assembler and linker are available.
|
---|
261 |
|
---|
262 | <h2>Configuring a Cross-Compiler</h2>
|
---|
263 |
|
---|
264 | <p>To build GNU CC as a cross-compiler, you start out by running
|
---|
265 | <code>configure</code>. Use the <code>--target=</code><var>target</var><code></code> to specify the
|
---|
266 | target type. If <code>configure</code> was unable to correctly identify the
|
---|
267 | system you are running on, also specify the <code>--build=</code><var>build</var><code></code>
|
---|
268 | option. For example, here is how to configure for a cross-compiler that
|
---|
269 | produces code for an HP 68030 system running BSD on a system that
|
---|
270 | <code>configure</code> can correctly identify:
|
---|
271 |
|
---|
272 | <pre class="smallexample"> ./configure --target=m68k-hp-bsd4.3
|
---|
273 | </pre>
|
---|
274 |
|
---|
275 | <h2>Tools and Libraries for a Cross-Compiler</h2>
|
---|
276 |
|
---|
277 | <p>If you have a cross-assembler and cross-linker available, you should
|
---|
278 | install them now. Put them in the directory
|
---|
279 | <code>/usr/local/</code><var>target</var><code>/bin</code>. Here is a table of the tools
|
---|
280 | you should put in this directory:
|
---|
281 |
|
---|
282 | <dl>
|
---|
283 | <dt><code>as</code>
|
---|
284 | <dd>This should be the cross-assembler.
|
---|
285 |
|
---|
286 | <br><dt><code>ld</code>
|
---|
287 | <dd>This should be the cross-linker.
|
---|
288 |
|
---|
289 | <br><dt><code>ar</code>
|
---|
290 | <dd>This should be the cross-archiver: a program which can manipulate
|
---|
291 | archive files (linker libraries) in the target machine's format.
|
---|
292 |
|
---|
293 | <br><dt><code>ranlib</code>
|
---|
294 | <dd>This should be a program to construct a symbol table in an archive file.
|
---|
295 | </dl>
|
---|
296 |
|
---|
297 | <p>The installation of GNU CC will find these programs in that directory,
|
---|
298 | and copy or link them to the proper place to for the cross-compiler to
|
---|
299 | find them when run later.
|
---|
300 |
|
---|
301 | <p>The easiest way to provide these files is to build the Binutils package
|
---|
302 | and GAS. Configure them with the same <code>--host</code> and <code>--target</code>
|
---|
303 | options that you use for configuring GNU CC, then build and install
|
---|
304 | them. They install their executables automatically into the proper
|
---|
305 | directory. Alas, they do not support all the targets that GNU CC
|
---|
306 | supports.
|
---|
307 |
|
---|
308 | <p>If you want to install libraries to use with the cross-compiler, such as
|
---|
309 | a standard C library, put them in the directory
|
---|
310 | <code>/usr/local/</code><var>target</var><code>/lib</code>; installation of GNU CC copies
|
---|
311 | all the files in that subdirectory into the proper place for GNU CC to
|
---|
312 | find them and link with them. Here's an example of copying some
|
---|
313 | libraries from a target machine:
|
---|
314 |
|
---|
315 | <pre class="example"> ftp <var>target-machine</var>
|
---|
316 | lcd /usr/local/<var>target</var>/lib
|
---|
317 | cd /lib
|
---|
318 | get libc.a
|
---|
319 | cd /usr/lib
|
---|
320 | get libg.a
|
---|
321 | get libm.a

325 | <p>The precise set of libraries you'll need, and their locations on
|
---|
326 | the target machine, vary depending on its operating system.
|
---|
327 |
|
---|
328 | <p>Many targets require "start files" such as <code>crt0.o</code> and
|
---|
329 | <code>crtn.o</code> which are linked into each executable; these too should be
|
---|
330 | placed in <code>/usr/local/</code><var>target</var><code>/lib</code>. There may be several
|
---|
331 | alternatives for <code>crt0.o</code>, for use with profiling or other
|
---|
332 | compilation options. Check your target's definition of
|
---|
333 | <code>STARTFILE_SPEC</code> to find out what start files it uses.
|
---|
334 | Here's an example of copying these files from a target machine:
|
---|
335 |
|
---|
336 | <pre class="example"> ftp <var>target-machine</var>
|
---|
337 | lcd /usr/local/<var>target</var>/lib
|
---|
338 | prompt
|
---|
339 | cd /lib
|
---|
340 | mget *crt*.o
|

341 | cd /usr/lib

342 | mget *crt*.o

346 | <h2>Cross-Compilers and Header Files</h2>
|
---|
347 |
|
---|
348 | <p>If you are cross-compiling a standalone program or a program for an
|
---|
349 | embedded system, then you may not need any header files except the few
|
---|
350 | that are part of GNU CC (and those of your program). However, if you
|
---|
351 | intend to link your program with a standard C library such as
|
---|
352 | <code>libc.a</code>, then you probably need to compile with the header files
|
---|
353 | that go with the library you use.
|
---|
354 |
|
---|
355 | <p>The GNU C compiler does not come with these files, because (1) they are
|
---|
356 | system-specific, and (2) they belong in a C library, not in a compiler.
|
---|
357 |
|
---|
358 | <p>If the GNU C library supports your target machine, then you can get the
|
---|
359 | header files from there (assuming you actually use the GNU library when
|
---|
360 | you link your program).
|
---|
361 |
|
---|
362 | <p>If your target machine comes with a C compiler, it probably comes with
|
---|
363 | suitable header files also. If you make these files accessible from the host
|
---|
364 | machine, the cross-compiler can use them also.
|
---|
365 |
|
---|
366 | <p>Otherwise, you're on your own in finding header files to use when
|
---|
367 | cross-compiling.
|
---|
368 |
|
---|
369 | <p>When you have found suitable header files, you should put them in the
|
---|
370 | directory <code>/usr/local/</code><var>target</var><code>/include</code>, before building the
|
---|
371 | cross compiler. Then installation will run fixincludes properly and
|
---|
372 | install the corrected versions of the header files where the compiler
|
---|
373 | will use them.
|
---|
374 |
|
---|
375 | <p>Provide the header files before you build the cross-compiler, because
|
---|
376 | the build stage actually runs the cross-compiler to produce parts of
|
---|
377 | <code>libgcc.a</code>. (These are the parts that <em>can</em> be compiled with
|
---|
378 | GNU CC.) Some of them need suitable header files.
|
---|
379 |
|
---|
380 | <p>Here's an example showing how to copy the header files from a target
|
---|
381 | machine. On the target machine, do this:
|
---|
382 |
|
---|
383 | <pre class="example"> (cd /usr/include; tar cf - .) > tarfile
|
---|
384 | </pre>
|
---|
385 |
|
---|
386 | <p>Then, on the host machine, do this:
|
---|
387 |
|
---|
388 | <pre class="example"> ftp <var>target-machine</var>
|
---|
389 | lcd /usr/local/<var>target</var>/include
|
---|
390 | get tarfile
|
---|
391 | quit
|
---|
392 | tar xf tarfile
|
---|
393 | </pre>
|
---|
394 |
|
---|
395 | <h2>Actually Building the Cross-Compiler</h2>
|
---|
396 |
|
---|
397 | <p>Now you can proceed just as for compiling a single-machine compiler
|
---|
398 | through the step of building stage 1.
|
---|
399 |
|
---|
400 | <p>Do not try to build stage 2 for a cross-compiler. It doesn't work to
|
---|
401 | rebuild GNU CC as a cross-compiler using the cross-compiler, because
|
---|
402 | that would produce a program that runs on the target machine, not on the
|
---|
403 | host. For example, if you compile a 386-to-68030 cross-compiler with
|
---|
404 | itself, the result will not be right either for the 386 (because it was
|
---|
405 | compiled into 68030 code) or for the 68030 (because it was configured
|
---|
406 | for a 386 as the host). If you want to compile GNU CC into 68030 code,
|
---|
407 | whether you compile it on a 68030 or with a cross-compiler on a 386, you
|
---|
408 | must specify a 68030 as the host when you configure it.
|
---|
409 |
|
---|
410 | <p>To install the cross-compiler, use <code>make install</code>, as usual.
|
---|
411 |
|
---|
412 | <h2><a name="VMS%20Install"></a>Installing GNU CC on VMS</h2>
|
---|
413 |
|
---|
414 | <p>The VMS version of GNU CC is distributed in a backup saveset containing
|
---|
415 | both source code and precompiled binaries.
|
---|
416 |
|
---|
417 | <p>To install the <code>gcc</code> command so you can use the compiler easily, in
|
---|
418 | the same manner as you use the VMS C compiler, you must install the VMS CLD
|
---|
419 | file for GNU CC as follows:
|
---|
420 |
|
---|
421 | <ol type=1 start=1>
|
---|
422 | <li>Define the VMS logical names <code>GNU_CC</code> and <code>GNU_CC_INCLUDE</code>
|
---|
423 | to point to the directories where the GNU CC executables
|
---|
424 | (<code>gcc-cpp.exe</code>, <code>gcc-cc1.exe</code>, etc.) and the C include files are
|
---|
425 | kept respectively. This should be done with the commands:
|
---|
426 |
|
---|
427 | <pre class="smallexample"> $ assign /system /translation=concealed -
|
---|
428 | disk:[gcc.] gnu_cc
|
---|
429 | $ assign /system /translation=concealed -
|
---|
430 | disk:[gcc.include.] gnu_cc_include
|
---|
431 | </pre>
|
---|
432 |
|
---|
433 | <p>with the appropriate disk and directory names. These commands can be
|
---|
434 | placed in your system startup file so they will be executed whenever
|
---|
435 | the machine is rebooted. You may, if you choose, do this via the
|
---|
436 | <code>GCC_INSTALL.COM</code> script in the <code>[GCC]</code> directory.
|
---|
437 |
|
---|
438 | </p><li>Install the <code>GCC</code> command with the command line:
|
---|
439 |
|
---|
440 | <pre class="smallexample"> $ set command /table=sys$common:[syslib]dcltables -
|
---|
441 | /output=sys$common:[syslib]dcltables gnu_cc:[000000]gcc
|
---|
442 | $ install replace sys$common:[syslib]dcltables
|
---|
443 | </pre>
|
---|
444 |
|
---|
445 | <li>To install the help file, do the following:
|
---|
446 |
|
---|
447 | <pre class="smallexample"> $ library/help sys$library:helplib.hlb gcc.hlp
|
---|
448 | </pre>
|
---|
449 |
|
---|
450 | <p>Now you can invoke the compiler with a command like <code>gcc /verbose
|
---|
451 | file.c</code>, which is equivalent to the command <code>gcc -v -c file.c</code> in
|
---|
452 | Unix.
|
---|
453 | </ol>
|
---|
454 |
|
---|
455 | <p>If you wish to use GNU C++ you must first install GNU CC, and then
|
---|
456 | perform the following steps:
|
---|
457 |
|
---|
458 | <ol type=1 start=1>
|
---|
459 | <li>Define the VMS logical name <code>GNU_GXX_INCLUDE</code> to point to the
|
---|
460 | directory where the preprocessor will search for the C++ header files.
|
---|
461 | This can be done with the command:
|
---|
462 |
|
---|
463 | <pre class="smallexample"> $ assign /system /translation=concealed -
|
---|
464 | disk:[gcc.gxx_include.] gnu_gxx_include
|
---|
465 | </pre>
|
---|
466 |
|
---|
467 | <p>with the appropriate disk and directory name. If you are going to be
|
---|
468 | using a C++ runtime library, this is where its install procedure will install
|
---|
469 | its header files.
|
---|
470 |
|
---|
471 | </p><li>Obtain the file <code>gcc-cc1plus.exe</code>, and place this in the same
|
---|
472 | directory that <code>gcc-cc1.exe</code> is kept.
|
---|
473 |
|
---|
474 | <p>The GNU C++ compiler can be invoked with a command like <code>gcc /plus
|
---|
475 | /verbose file.cc</code>, which is equivalent to the command <code>g++ -v -c
|
---|
476 | file.cc</code> in Unix.
|
---|
477 | </ol>
|
---|
478 |
|
---|
479 | <p>We try to put corresponding binaries and sources on the VMS distribution
|
---|
480 | tape. But sometimes the binaries will be from an older version than the
|
---|
481 | sources, because we don't always have time to update them. (Use the
|
---|
482 | <code>/version</code> option to determine the version number of the binaries and
|
---|
483 | compare it with the source file <code>version.c</code> to tell whether this is
|
---|
484 | so.) In this case, you should use the binaries you get to recompile the
|
---|
485 | sources. If you must recompile, here is how:
|
---|
486 |
|
---|
487 | <ol type=1 start=1>
|
---|
488 | <li>Execute the command procedure <code>vmsconfig.com</code> to set up the files
|
---|
489 | <code>tm.h</code>, <code>config.h</code>, <code>aux-output.c</code>, and <code>md.</code>, and
|
---|
490 | to create files <code>tconfig.h</code> and <code>hconfig.h</code>. This procedure
|
---|
491 | also creates several linker option files used by <code>make-cc1.com</code> and
|
---|
492 | a data file used by <code>make-l2.com</code>.
|
---|
493 |
|
---|
494 | <pre class="smallexample"> $ @vmsconfig.com
|
---|
495 | </pre>
|
---|
496 |
|
---|
497 | <li>Setup the logical names and command tables as defined above. In
|
---|
498 | addition, define the VMS logical name <code>GNU_BISON</code> to point at the
|
---|
499 | to the directories where the Bison executable is kept. This should be
|
---|
500 | done with the command:
|
---|
501 |
|
---|
502 | <pre class="smallexample"> $ assign /system /translation=concealed -
|
---|
503 | disk:[bison.] gnu_bison
|
---|
504 | </pre>
|
---|
505 |
|
---|
506 | <p>You may, if you choose, use the <code>INSTALL_BISON.COM</code> script in the
|
---|
507 | <code>[BISON]</code> directory.
|
---|
508 |
|
---|
509 | </p><li>Install the <code>BISON</code> command with the command line:
|
---|
510 |
|
---|
511 | <pre class="smallexample"> $ set command /table=sys$common:[syslib]dcltables -
|
---|
512 | /output=sys$common:[syslib]dcltables -
|
---|
513 | gnu_bison:[000000]bison
|
---|
514 | $ install replace sys$common:[syslib]dcltables
|
---|
515 | </pre>
|
---|
516 |
|
---|
517 | <li>Type <code>@make-gcc</code> to recompile everything, or submit the file
|
---|
518 | <code>make-gcc.com</code> to a batch queue. If you wish to build the GNU C++
|
---|
519 | compiler as well as the GNU CC compiler, you must first edit
|
---|
520 | <code>make-gcc.com</code> and follow the instructions that appear in the
|
---|
521 | comments.
|
---|
522 |
|
---|
523 | <li>In order to use GCC, you need a library of functions which GCC compiled code
|
---|
524 | will call to perform certain tasks, and these functions are defined in the
|
---|
525 | file <code>libgcc2.c</code>. To compile this you should use the command procedure
|
---|
526 | <code>make-l2.com</code>, which will generate the library <code>libgcc2.olb</code>.
|
---|
527 | <code>libgcc2.olb</code> should be built using the compiler built from
|
---|
528 | the same distribution that <code>libgcc2.c</code> came from, and
|
---|
529 | <code>make-gcc.com</code> will automatically do all of this for you.
|
---|
530 |
|
---|
531 | <p>To install the library, use the following commands:
|
---|
532 |
|
---|
533 | <pre class="smallexample"> $ library gnu_cc:[000000]gcclib/delete=(new,eprintf)
|
---|
534 | $ library gnu_cc:[000000]gcclib/delete=L_*
|
---|
535 | $ library libgcc2/extract=*/output=libgcc2.obj
|
---|
536 | $ library gnu_cc:[000000]gcclib libgcc2.obj
|
---|
537 | </pre>
|
---|
538 |
|
---|
539 | <p>The first command simply removes old modules that will be replaced with
|
---|
540 | modules from <code>libgcc2</code> under different module names. The modules
|
---|
541 | <code>new</code> and <code>eprintf</code> may not actually be present in your
|
---|
542 | <code>gcclib.olb</code>--if the VMS librarian complains about those modules
|
---|
543 | not being present, simply ignore the message and continue on with the
|
---|
544 | next command. The second command removes the modules that came from the
|
---|
545 | previous version of the library <code>libgcc2.c</code>.
|
---|
546 |
|
---|
547 | <p>Whenever you update the compiler on your system, you should also update the
|
---|
548 | library with the above procedure.
|
---|
549 |
|
---|
550 | </p><li>You may wish to build GCC in such a way that no files are written to the
|
---|
551 | directory where the source files reside. An example would be the when
|
---|
552 | the source files are on a read-only disk. In these cases, execute the
|
---|
553 | following DCL commands (substituting your actual path names):
|
---|
554 |
|
---|
555 | <pre class="smallexample"> $ assign dua0:[gcc.build_dir.]/translation=concealed, -
|
---|
556 | dua1:[gcc.source_dir.]/translation=concealed gcc_build
|
---|
557 | $ set default gcc_build:[000000]
|
---|
558 | </pre>
|
---|
559 |
|
---|
560 | <p>where the directory <code>dua1:[gcc.source_dir]</code> contains the source
|
---|
561 | code, and the directory <code>dua0:[gcc.build_dir]</code> is meant to contain
|
---|
562 | all of the generated object files and executables. Once you have done
|
---|
563 | this, you can proceed building GCC as described above. (Keep in mind
|
---|
564 | that <code>gcc_build</code> is a rooted logical name, and thus the device
|
---|
565 | names in each element of the search list must be an actual physical
|
---|
566 | device name rather than another rooted logical name).
|
---|
567 |
|
---|
568 | </p><li><strong>If you are building GNU CC with a previous version of GNU CC,
|
---|
569 | you also should check to see that you have the newest version of the
|
---|
570 | assembler</strong>. In particular, GNU CC version 2 treats global constant
|
---|
571 | variables slightly differently from GNU CC version 1, and GAS version
|
---|
572 | 1.38.1 does not have the patches required to work with GCC version 2.
|
---|
573 | If you use GAS 1.38.1, then <code>extern const</code> variables will not have
|
---|
574 | the read-only bit set, and the linker will generate warning messages
|
---|
575 | about mismatched psect attributes for these variables. These warning
|
---|
576 | messages are merely a nuisance, and can safely be ignored.
|
---|
577 |
|
---|
578 | <li>If you want to build GNU CC with the VAX C compiler, you will need to
|
---|
579 | make minor changes in <code>make-cccp.com</code> and <code>make-cc1.com</code>
|
---|
580 | to choose alternate definitions of <code>CC</code>, <code>CFLAGS</code>, and
|
---|
581 | <code>LIBS</code>. See comments in those files. However, you must
|
---|
582 | also have a working version of the GNU assembler (GNU as, aka GAS) as
|
---|
583 | it is used as the back end for GNU CC to produce binary object modules
|
---|
584 | and is not included in the GNU CC sources. GAS is also needed to
|
---|
585 | compile <code>libgcc2</code> in order to build <code>gcclib</code> (see above);
|
---|
586 | <code>make-l2.com</code> expects to be able to find it operational in
|
---|
587 | <code>gnu_cc:[000000]gnu-as.exe</code>.
|
---|
588 |
|
---|
589 | <p>To use GNU CC on VMS, you need the VMS driver programs
|
---|
590 | <code>gcc.exe</code>, <code>gcc.com</code>, and <code>gcc.cld</code>. They are
|
---|
591 | distributed with the VMS binaries (<code>gcc-vms</code>) rather than the
|
---|
592 | GNU CC sources. GAS is also included in <code>gcc-vms</code>, as is Bison.
|
---|
593 |
|
---|
594 | <p>Once you have successfully built GNU CC with VAX C, you should use the
|
---|
595 | resulting compiler to rebuild itself. Before doing this, be sure to
|
---|
596 | restore the <code>CC</code>, <code>CFLAGS</code>, and <code>LIBS</code> definitions in
|
---|
597 | <code>make-cccp.com</code> and <code>make-cc1.com</code>. The second generation
|
---|
598 | compiler will be able to take advantage of many optimizations that must
|
---|
599 | be suppressed when building with other compilers.
|
---|
600 | </ol>
|
---|
601 |
|
---|
602 | <p>Under previous versions of GNU CC, the generated code would occasionally
|
---|
603 | give strange results when linked with the sharable <code>VAXCRTL</code> library.
|
---|
604 | Now this should work.
|
---|
605 |
|
---|
606 | <p>Even with this version, however, GNU CC itself should not be linked with
|
---|
607 | the sharable <code>VAXCRTL</code>. The version of <code>qsort</code> in
|
---|
608 | <code>VAXCRTL</code> has a bug (known to be present in VMS versions V4.6
|
---|
609 | through V5.5) which causes the compiler to fail.
|
---|
610 |
|
---|
611 | <p>The executables are generated by <code>make-cc1.com</code> and
|
---|
612 | <code>make-cccp.com</code> use the object library version of <code>VAXCRTL</code> in
|
---|
613 | order to make use of the <code>qsort</code> routine in <code>gcclib.olb</code>. If
|
---|
614 | you wish to link the compiler executables with the shareable image
|
---|
615 | version of <code>VAXCRTL</code>, you should edit the file <code>tm.h</code> (created
|
---|
616 | by <code>vmsconfig.com</code>) to define the macro <code>QSORT_WORKAROUND</code>.
|
---|
617 |
|
---|
618 | <p><code>QSORT_WORKAROUND</code> is always defined when GNU CC is compiled with
|
---|
619 | VAX C, to avoid a problem in case <code>gcclib.olb</code> is not yet
|
---|
620 | available.
