                      9: Installing GNU CC
                     10: *****************
                     11: 
                     12: Here is the procedure for installing GNU CC on a Unix system.
                     13: 
                     14: 
                     15: * Menu:
                     16: 
                     17: * VMS Install::   See below for installation on VMS.
                     18: 
                     19: 
                     20:   1. Edit `Makefile'.  If you are using HPUX, you must make a few changes
                     21:      described in comments at the beginning of the file.
                     22: 
                     23:   2. Choose configuration files.
                     24: 
                     25:         * Make a symbolic link named `config.h' to the top-level config
                     26:           file for the machine you are using (*Note Config::.).  This file
                     27:           is responsible for defining information about the host machine. 
                     28:           It includes `tm.h'.
                     29: 
                     30:           The file's name should be `config-MACHINE.h'.  On VMS, use
                     31:           `config-vms.h' rather than `config-vax.h'.  On the HP 9000 series
                     32:           300, use `config-hp9k3.h' rather than `config-m68k.h'.
                     33: 
                     34:           If your system does not support symbolic links, you might want to
                     35:           set up `config.h' to contain a `#include' command which refers to
                     36:           the appropriate file.
                     37: 
                     38:         * Make a symbolic link named `tm.h' to the machine-description
                     39:           macro file for your machine (its name should be `tm-MACHINE.h').
                     40: 
                     41:           For the 68000/68020, do not use `tm-m68k.h' directly; instead use
                     42:           one of the files `tm-sun3.h', `tm-sun2.h', `tm-isi68.h',
                     43:           `tm-news800.h' or `tm-3b1.h'.  Each of those files includes
                     44:           `tm-m68k.h' but sets up a few things differently as appropriate
                     45:           to the specific model of machine.
                     46: 
                     47:           There are two files you can use for a 680x0 running HPUX:
                     48:           `tm-hp9k320.h' and `tm-hp9k320g.h'.  Use the former if you are
                     49:           installing GNU CC alone.  The latter is for another option where
                     50:           GNU CC together with the GNU assembler, linker, debugger and
                     51:           other utilities are used to replace all of HPUX that deals with
                     52:           compilation.  Not all of the pieces of GNU software needed for
                     53:           this mode of operation are as yet in distribution; full
                     54:           instructions will appear here in the future.
                     55: 
                     56:           For the 32000, use `tm-sequent.h' if you are using a Sequent
                     57:           machine; otherwise, use `tm-ns32k.h'.
                     58: 
                     59:           For the vax, use `tm-vax.h' on BSD Unix, `tm-ultrix.h' on Ultrix,
                     60:           or `tm-vms.h' on VMS.
                     61: 
                     62:         * Make a symbolic link named `md' to the machine description
                     63:           pattern file (its name should be `MACHINE.md').
                     64: 
                     65:         * Make a symbolic link named `aux-output.c' to the output
                     66:           subroutine file for your machine (its name should be
                     67:           `OUTPUT-MACHINE.c').
                     68: 
                     69:   3. Make sure the Bison parser generator is installed.  (This is unnecessary
                     70:      if the Bison output file `parse.tab.c' is more recent than `parse.y'
                     71:      and you do not plan to change `parse.y'.)
                     72: 
                     73:      Note that if you have an old version of Bison you may get an error
                     74:      from the line with the `%expect' directive.  If so, simply remove that
                     75:      line from `parse.y' and proceed.
                     76: 
                     77:   4. If you are using a Sun, make sure the environment variable
                     78:      `FLOAT_OPTION' is not set.  If this option were set to `f68881' when
                     79:      `gnulib' is compiled, the resulting code would demand to be linked
                     80:      with a special startup file and will not link properly without special
                     81:      pains.
                     82: 
                     83:   5. Build the compiler.  Just type `make' in the compiler directory.
                     84: 
                     85:   6. Move the first-stage object files and executables into a subdirectory
                     86:      with this command:
                     87: 
                     88:           make stage1
                     89: 
                     90: 
                     91:      The files are moved into a subdirectory named `stage1'.  Once
                     92:      installation is complete, you may wish to delete these files with `rm
                     93:      -r stage1'.
                     94: 
                     95:   7. Recompile the compiler with itself, with this command:
                     96: 
                     97:           make CC=stage1/gcc CFLAGS="-g -O -Bstage1/"
                     98: 
                     99: 
                    100:      On a 68000 or 68020 system lacking floating point hardware, unless you
                    101:      have selected a `tm.h' file that expects by default that there is no
                    102:      such hardware, do this instead:
                    103: 
                    104:           make CC=stage1/gcc CFLAGS="-g -O -Bstage1/ -msoft-float"
                    105: 
                    106: 
                    107:   8. If you wish to test the compiler by compiling it with itself one more
                    108:      time, do this:
                    109: 
                    110:           make stage2
                    111:           make CC=stage2/gcc CFLAGS="-g -O -Bstage2/"
                    112:           foreach file (*.o)
                    113:           cmp $file stage2/$file
                    114:           end
                    115: 
                    116: 
                    117:      This will notify you if any of these stage 3 object files differs from
                    118:      those of stage 2.  Any difference, no matter how innocuous, indicates
                    119:      that the stage 2 compiler has compiled GNU CC incorrectly, and is
                    120:      therefore a potentially serious bug which you should investigate and
                    121:      report (*Note Bugs::.).
                    122: 
                    123:   9. Install the compiler driver, the compiler's passes and run-time support.
                    124:       You can use the following command:
                    125: 
                    126:           make install
                    127: 
                    128: 
                    129:      This copies the files `cc1', `cpp' and `gnulib' to files `gcc-cc1',
                    130:      `gcc-cpp' and `gcc-gnulib' in directory `/usr/local/lib', which is
                    131:      where the compiler driver program looks for them.  It also copies the
                    132:      driver program `gcc' into the directory `/usr/local', so that it
                    133:      appears in typical execution search paths.
                    134: 
                    135:      *Warning: the GNU CPP may not work for `ioctl.h', `ttychars.h' and
                    136:      other system header files unless the `-traditional' option is used.* 
                    137:      The bug is in the header files: at least on some machines, they rely
                    138:      on behavior that is incompatible with ANSI C.  This behavior consists
                    139:      of substituting for macro argument names when they appear inside of
                    140:      character constants.  The `-traditional' option tells GNU CC to behave
                    141:      the way these headers expect.
                    142: 
                    143:      Because of this problem, you might prefer to configure GNU CC to use
                    144:      the system's own C preprocessor.  To do so, make the file
                    145:      `/usr/local/lib/gcc-cpp' a link to `/lib/cpp'.
                    146: 
                    147:      Alternatively, on Sun systems and 4.3BSD at least, you can correct the
                    148:      include files by running the shell script `fixincludes'.  This
                    149:      installs modified, corrected copies of the files `ioctl.h' and
                    150:      `ttychars.h' in a special directory where only GNU CC will normally
                    151:      look for them.
                    152: 
                    153:      The file `/usr/include/vaxuba/qvioctl.h' used in the X window system
                    154:      needs a similar correction.
                    155: 
                    156: If you cannot install the compiler's passes and run-time support in
                    157: `/usr/local/lib', you can alternatively use the `-B' option to specify a
                    158: prefix by which they may be found.  The compiler concatenates the prefix
                    159: with the names  `cpp', `cc1' and `gnulib'.  Thus, you can put the files in
                    160: a directory `/usr/foo/gcc' and specify `-B/usr/foo/gcc/' when you run GNU CC.
                    161: 
                    162: Installing GNU CC on VMS
                    163: ========================
                    164: 
                    165: The VMS version of GNU CC is normally distributed as a Backup saveset, so
                    166: the only installation required is to copy the files.  But here is how to
                    167: rebuild GNU CC if you change it:
                    168: 
                    169:   1. Copy the file `tm-vms.h' to `tm.h', `config-vms.h' to `config.h',
                    170:      `vax.md' to `md.' and `output-vax.c' to `aux-output.c'.
                    171: 
                    172:   2. Type `@make' to do recompile everything.
