-Configuring egcs-1.0
-
-Like most GNU software, egcs must be configured before it can be built.
-This document attempts to describe the recommended configuration procedure
-for both native and cross targets.
-
-We use srcdir to refer to the toplevel source directory for
-egcs; we use objdir to refer to the toplevel build/object
-directory for egcs.
-
-First, we highly recommend that egcs be built into a separate
-directory than the sources. This is how we generally build egcs; building
-where srcdir == objdir should still work, but doesn't get
-extensive testing.
-
-Second, when configuring a native system, either "cc" must be in your
-path or you must set CC in your environment before running configure.
-Otherwise the configuration scripts may fail.
-
-To configure egcs:
-
- % mkdir objdir
- % cd objdir
- % srcdir/configure [target] [options]
-
-
-target specification
-
- egcs has code to correctly determine the correct value for
- target for nearly all native systems. Therefore, we highly
- recommend you not provide a configure target when configuring a
- native compiler.
-
- target must be specified when configuring a cross compiler;
- examples of valid targets would be i960-rtems, m68k-coff, sh-elf, etc.
-
-
-options specification
-
-Use options to override several configure time options for
-egcs. A partial list of supported options:
-
-
- --prefix=dirname -- Specify the toplevel installation
- directory. This is the recommended way to install the tools into a directory
- other than the default. The toplevel installation directory defaults to
- /usr/local.
-
- These additional options control where certain parts of the distribution
- are installed. Normally you should not need to use these options.
-
- --with-local-prefix=dirname -- Specify the installation
- directory for local include files. The default is /usr/local.
-
- --with-gxx-include-dir=dirname -- Specify the installation
- directory for g++ header files. The default is /usr/local/include/g++.
-
-
- --enable-shared -- Build shared versions of the C++ runtime
- libraries if supported --disable-shared is the default.
-
- --enable-haifa -- Enable the new Haifa instruction scheduler in the
- compiler; the new scheduler can significantly improve code on some targets.
- --disable-haifa is currently the default on all platforms except the HPPA.
-
- --with-gnu-as -- Specify that the compiler should assume the GNU
- assembler (aka gas) is available.
-
- --with-gnu-ld -- Specify that the compiler should assume the GNU
- linker (aka gld) is available.
-
- --with-stabs -- Specify that stabs debugging information should be used
- instead of whatever format the host normally uses. Normally GCC uses the
- same debug format as the host system.
-
- --enable-multilib -- Specify that multiple target libraries
- should be built to support different target variants, calling conventions,
- etc. This is the default.
-
- --enable-threads -- Specify that the target supports threads.
- This only effects the Objective-C compiler and runtime library.
-
- --enable-threads=lib -- Specify that lib is the
- thread support library. This only effects the Objective-C compiler and
- runtime library.
-
- --with-cpu=cpu -- Specify which cpu variant the compiler should
- generate code for by default. This is currently only supported on the
- RS6000/PowerPC ports.
-
-
-Some options which only apply to building cross compilers:
-
- --with-headers=dir -- Specifies a directory which has target
- include files.
- --with-libs=dirs -- Specifies a list of directories which contain
- the target runtime libraries.
- --with-newlib -- Specifies that "newlib" is being used as the target
- C library. This causes __eprintf to be omitted from libgcc.a on the
- assumption that it will be provided by newlib.
-
-
-Note that each --enable option has a corresponding --disable option and
-that each --with option has a corresponding --without option.
