previous chapters of this manual. It is provided for historical

2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
<p>Here is the procedure for installing GCC on a GNU or Unix system.
</p>
<ol>
<li> If you have chosen a configuration for GCC which requires other GNU
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
tools (such as GAS or the GNU linker) instead of the standard system
tools, install the required tools in the build directory under the names
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
<samp>as</samp>, <samp>ld</samp> or whatever is appropriate.
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
<p>Alternatively, you can do subsequent compilation using a value of the
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
<code>PATH</code> environment variable such that the necessary GNU tools come
before the standard system tools.
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
</p>
</li><li> Specify the host, build and target machine configurations. You do this
when you run the <samp>configure</samp> script.
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
<p>The <em>build</em> machine is the system which you are using, the
<em>host</em> machine is the system where you want to run the resulting
compiler (normally the build machine), and the <em>target</em> machine is
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
the system for which you want the compiler to generate code.
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
</p>
<p>If you are building a compiler to produce code for the machine it runs
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
on (a native compiler), you normally do not need to specify any operands
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
to <samp>configure</samp>; it will try to guess the type of machine you are on
and use that as the build, host and target machines. So you don&rsquo;t need
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
to specify a configuration when building a native compiler unless
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
<samp>configure</samp> cannot figure out what your configuration is or guesses
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
wrong.
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
</p>
<p>In those cases, specify the build machine&rsquo;s <em>configuration name</em>
with the <samp>--host</samp> option; the host and target will default to be
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
the same as the host machine.
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
</p>
<p>Here is an example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">./configure --host=sparc-sun-sunos4.1
</pre></div>
<p>A configuration name may be canonical or it may be more or less
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
abbreviated.
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
</p>
<p>A canonical configuration name has three parts, separated by dashes.
It looks like this: &lsquo;<samp><var>cpu</var>-<var>company</var>-<var>system</var></samp>&rsquo;.
(The three parts may themselves contain dashes; <samp>configure</samp>
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
can figure out which dashes serve which purpose.) For example,
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
&lsquo;<samp>m68k-sun-sunos4.1</samp>&rsquo; specifies a Sun 3.
</p>
<p>You can also replace parts of the configuration by nicknames or aliases.
For example, &lsquo;<samp>sun3</samp>&rsquo; stands for &lsquo;<samp>m68k-sun</samp>&rsquo;, so
&lsquo;<samp>sun3-sunos4.1</samp>&rsquo; is another way to specify a Sun 3.
</p>
<p>You can specify a version number after any of the system types, and some
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
of the CPU types. In most cases, the version is irrelevant, and will be
ignored. So you might as well specify the version if you know it.
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
</p>
<p>See <a href="#Configurations">Configurations</a>, for a list of supported configuration names and
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
notes on many of the configurations. You should check the notes in that
section before proceeding any further with the installation of GCC.

<h2><a name="Configurations"></a>Configurations Supported by GCC</h2><a name="index-configurations-supported-by-GCC"></a>
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
<p>Here are the possible CPU types:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>1750a, a29k, alpha, arm, avr, c<var>n</var>, clipper, dsp16xx, elxsi, fr30, h8300,
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00

m68000, m68k, m88k, mcore, mips, mipsel, mips64, mips64el,
mn10200, mn10300, ns32k, pdp11, powerpc, powerpcle, romp, rs6000, sh, sparc,
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
sparclite, sparc64, v850, vax, we32k.
</p></blockquote>
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
<p>Here are the recognized company names. As you can see, customary
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
abbreviations are used rather than the longer official names.
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>acorn, alliant, altos, apollo, apple, att, bull,
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
cbm, convergent, convex, crds, dec, dg, dolphin,
elxsi, encore, harris, hitachi, hp, ibm, intergraph, isi,
mips, motorola, ncr, next, ns, omron, plexus,
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
sequent, sgi, sony, sun, tti, unicom, wrs.
</p></blockquote>
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
<p>The company name is meaningful only to disambiguate when the rest of
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
the information supplied is insufficient. You can omit it, writing
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
just &lsquo;<samp><var>cpu</var>-<var>system</var></samp>&rsquo;, if it is not needed. For example,
&lsquo;<samp>vax-ultrix4.2</samp>&rsquo; is equivalent to &lsquo;<samp>vax-dec-ultrix4.2</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
<p>Here is a list of system types:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>386bsd, aix, acis, amigaos, aos, aout, aux, bosx, bsd, clix, coff, ctix, cxux,
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
dgux, dynix, ebmon, ecoff, elf, esix, freebsd, hms, genix, gnu, linux,
linux-gnu, hiux, hpux, iris, irix, isc, luna, lynxos, mach, minix, msdos, mvs,
netbsd, newsos, nindy, ns, osf, osfrose, ptx, riscix, riscos, rtu, sco, sim,
solaris, sunos, sym, sysv, udi, ultrix, unicos, uniplus, unos, vms, vsta,
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
vxworks, winnt, xenix.
</p></blockquote>
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
<p>You can omit the system type; then <samp>configure</samp> guesses the
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
operating system from the CPU and company.
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
</p>
<p>You can add a version number to the system type; this may or may not
make a difference. For example, you can write &lsquo;<samp>bsd4.3</samp>&rsquo; or
&lsquo;<samp>bsd4.4</samp>&rsquo; to distinguish versions of BSD. In practice, the version
number is most needed for &lsquo;<samp>sysv3</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>sysv4</samp>&rsquo;, which are often
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
treated differently.
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
</p>
<p>&lsquo;<samp>linux-gnu</samp>&rsquo; is the canonical name for the GNU/Linux target; however
GCC will also accept &lsquo;<samp>linux</samp>&rsquo;. The version of the kernel in use is
not relevant on these systems. A suffix such as &lsquo;<samp>libc1</samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp>aout</samp>&rsquo;
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
distinguishes major versions of the C library; all of the suffixed versions
are obsolete.
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
</p>
<p>If you specify an impossible combination such as &lsquo;<samp>i860-dg-vms</samp>&rsquo;,
then you may get an error message from <samp>configure</samp>, or it may
ignore part of the information and do the best it can with the rest.
<samp>configure</samp> always prints the canonical name for the alternative
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
that it used. GCC does not support all possible alternatives.
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
</p>
<p>Often a particular model of machine has a name. Many machine names are
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
recognized as aliases for CPU/company combinations. Thus, the machine
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
name &lsquo;<samp>sun3</samp>&rsquo;, mentioned above, is an alias for &lsquo;<samp>m68k-sun</samp>&rsquo;.
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
Sometimes we accept a company name as a machine name, when the name is
popularly used for a particular machine. Here is a table of the known
machine names:
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>3300, 3b1, 3b<var>n</var>, 7300, altos3068, altos,
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
apollo68, att-7300, balance,
convex-c<var>n</var>, crds, decstation-3100,
decstation, delta, encore,
fx2800, gmicro, hp7<var>nn</var>, hp8<var>nn</var>,
hp9k2<var>nn</var>, hp9k3<var>nn</var>, hp9k7<var>nn</var>,
hp9k8<var>nn</var>, iris4d, iris, isi68,
m3230, magnum, merlin, miniframe,
mmax, news-3600, news800, news, next,
pbd, pc532, pmax, powerpc, powerpcle, ps2, risc-news,
rtpc, sun2, sun386i, sun386, sun3,
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
sun4, symmetry, tower-32, tower.
</p></blockquote>
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
<p>Remember that a machine name specifies both the cpu type and the company
name.
