                    254:      innocuous, indicates that the stage 2 compiler has compiled GNU

                    268:      `/usr/local/lib', which is where the compiler driver program
                    269:      looks for them.  It also copies the driver program `gcc' into
                    270:      the directory `/usr/local', so that it appears in typical
                    271:      execution search paths.

                    273:      *Warning: there is a bug in `alloca' in the Sun library.  To
                    274:      avoid this bug, install the binaries of GNU CC that were
                    275:      compiled by GNU CC.  They use `alloca' as a built-in function
                    276:      and never the one in the library.*
                    277: 
                    278:      *Warning: the GNU CPP may not work for `ioctl.h', `ttychars.h'
                    279:      and other system header files unless the `-traditional' option
                    280:      is used.*  The bug is in the header files: at least on some
                    281:      machines, they rely on behavior that is incompatible with ANSI
                    282:      C.  This behavior consists of substituting for macro argument
                    283:      names when they appear inside of character constants.  The
                    284:      `-traditional' option tells GNU CC to behave the way these
                    285:      headers expect.
1.1       root      286: 
1.1.1.4   root      287:      Because of this problem, you might prefer to configure GNU CC to
                    288:      use the system's own C preprocessor.  To do so, make the file
1.1       root      289:      `/usr/local/lib/gcc-cpp' a link to `/lib/cpp'.
                    290: 
1.1.1.4   root      291:      Alternatively, on Sun systems and 4.3BSD at least, you can
                    292:      correct the include files by running the shell script
                    293:      `fixincludes'.  This installs modified, corrected copies of the
                    294:      files `ioctl.h', `ttychars.h' and many others, in a special
1.1.1.7   root      295:      directory where only GNU CC will normally look for them.  This
                    296:      script will work on various systems because it choose the files
                    297:      by searching all the system headers for the problem cases that
                    298:      we know about.
1.1       root      299: 
                    300: If you cannot install the compiler's passes and run-time support in
1.1.1.4   root      301: `/usr/local/lib', you can alternatively use the `-B' option to
                    302: specify a prefix by which they may be found.  The compiler
                    303: concatenates the prefix with the names  `cpp', `cc1' and `gnulib'. 
                    304: Thus, you can put the files in a directory `/usr/foo/gcc' and specify
                    305: `-B/usr/foo/gcc/' when you run GNU CC.
                    306: 
                    307: Also, you can specify an alternative default directory for these
                    308: files by setting the Make variable `libdir' when you make GNU CC.

        !           321: case, you should use the binaries you get to recompile the sources. 
1.1.1.4   root      322: If you must recompile, here is how:
                    323: 
1.1.1.8 ! root      324:   1. Copy the file `tm-vms.h' to `tm.h', `xm-vms.h' to `config.h',
        !           325:      `vax.md' to `md.' and `output-vax.c' to `aux-output.c'.
1.1       root      326: 
                    327:   2. Type `@make' to do recompile everything.
1.1.1.2   root      328: 
1.1.1.4   root      329: To install the `GCC' command so you can use the compiler easily, in
                    330: the same manner as you use the VMS C compiler, you must install the
                    331: VMS CLD file for GNU CC as follows:
                    332: 
                    333:   1. Define the VMS logical names `GNU_CC' and `GNU_CC_INCLUDE' to
                    334:      point to the directories where the GNU CC executables
                    335:      (`gcc-cpp', `gcc-cc1', etc.) and the C include files are kept. 
                    336:      This should be done with the commands:
1.1.1.2   root      337: 
                    338:           $ assign /super /system disk:[gcc] gnu_cc

                    340: 
1.1.1.4   root      341:      with the appropriate disk and directory names.  These commands
                    342:      can be placed in your system startup file so they will be
                    343:      executed whenever the machine is rebooted.
1.1.1.2   root      344: 
                    345:   2. Install the `GCC' command with the command line:
                    346: 
                    347:           $ set command /table=sys$library:dcltables gnu_cc:gcc
                    348: 
1.1.1.4   root      349:      Now you can invoke the compiler with a command like `gcc
                    350:      /verbose file.c', which is equivalent to the command `gcc -v -c
                    351:      file.c' in Unix.
