|
|---|
| 3 | This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers,
|
|---|
| 4 | debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.
|
|---|
| 5 |
|
|---|
| 6 | If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
|
|---|
| 7 | If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release,
|
|---|
| 8 | see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this
|
|---|
| 9 | package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

|

| 11 | It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
|
|---|
| 12 | tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein,
|
|---|
| 13 | run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | ./configure
|
|---|
| 16 | make
|
|---|
| 17 |
|
|---|
| 18 | To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
|
|---|
| 19 | then do:
|
|---|
| 20 | make install
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
|
|---|
| 23 | the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can
|
|---|
| 24 | use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
|
|---|
| 25 | it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
|
|---|
| 26 | and OS.)
|
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
|
|---|
| 29 | explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
|
|---|
| 30 | also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):
|
|---|
| 31 |
|
|---|
| 32 | CC=gcc ./configure
|
|---|
| 33 | make
|
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | A similar example using csh:
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | setenv CC gcc
|
|---|
| 38 | ./configure
|
|---|
| 39 | make
|
