|
|
GCC requires that various tools and packages be available for use in the
|
|
build procedure. Modifying GCC sources requires additional tools
|
|
described below.
|
|
|
|
<h3 class="heading"><a name="TOC0"></a>Tools/packages necessary for building GCC</h3>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt>ISO C++98 compiler<dd>Necessary to bootstrap GCC, although versions of GCC prior
|
|
to 4.8 also allow bootstrapping with a ISO C89 compiler and versions
|
|
of GCC prior to 3.4 also allow bootstrapping with a traditional
|
|
(K&R) C compiler.
|
|
|
|
<p>To build all languages in a cross-compiler or other configuration where
|
|
3-stage bootstrap is not performed, you need to start with an existing
|
|
GCC binary (version 3.4 or later) because source code for language
|
|
frontends other than C might use GCC extensions.
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that to bootstrap GCC with versions of GCC earlier than 3.4, you
|
|
may need to use <samp><span class="option">--disable-stage1-checking</span></samp>, though
|
|
bootstrapping the compiler with such earlier compilers is strongly
|
|
discouraged.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt>C standard library and headers<dd>
|
|
In order to build GCC, the C standard library and headers must be present
|
|
for all target variants for which target libraries will be built (and not
|
|
only the variant of the host C++ compiler).
|
|
|
|
<p>This affects the popular ‘<samp><span class="samp">x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu</span></samp>’ platform (among
|
|
other multilib targets), for which 64-bit (‘<samp><span class="samp">x86_64</span></samp>’) and 32-bit
|
|
(‘<samp><span class="samp">i386</span></samp>’) libc headers are usually packaged separately. If you do a
|
|
build of a native compiler on ‘<samp><span class="samp">x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu</span></samp>’, make sure you
|
|
either have the 32-bit libc developer package properly installed (the exact
|
|
name of the package depends on your distro) or you must build GCC as a
|
|
64-bit only compiler by configuring with the option
|
|
<samp><span class="option">--disable-multilib</span></samp>. Otherwise, you may encounter an error such as
|
|
‘<samp><span class="samp">fatal error: gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file</span></samp>’
|
|
|
|
<br><dt>GNAT<dd>
|
|
In order to build the Ada compiler (GNAT) you must already have GNAT
|
|
installed because portions of the Ada frontend are written in Ada (with
|
|
GNAT extensions.) Refer to the Ada installation instructions for more
|
|
specific information.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt>A “working” POSIX compatible shell, or GNU bash<dd>
|
|
Necessary when running <samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp> because some
|
|
<samp><span class="command">/bin/sh</span></samp> shells have bugs and may crash when configuring the
|
|
target libraries. In other cases, <samp><span class="command">/bin/sh</span></samp> or <samp><span class="command">ksh</span></samp>
|
|
have disastrous corner-case performance problems. This
|
|
can cause target <samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp> runs to literally take days to
|
|
complete in some cases.
|
|
|
|
<p>So on some platforms <samp><span class="command">/bin/ksh</span></samp> is sufficient, on others it
|
|
isn't. See the host/target specific instructions for your platform, or
|
|
use <samp><span class="command">bash</span></samp> to be sure. Then set <samp><span class="env">CONFIG_SHELL</span></samp> in your
|
|
environment to your “good” shell prior to running
|
|
<samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp>/<samp><span class="command">make</span></samp>.
|
|
|
|
<p><samp><span class="command">zsh</span></samp> is not a fully compliant POSIX shell and will not
|
|
work when configuring GCC.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt>A POSIX or SVR4 awk<dd>
|
|
Necessary for creating some of the generated source files for GCC.
|
|
If in doubt, use a recent GNU awk version, as some of the older ones
|
|
are broken. GNU awk version 3.1.5 is known to work.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt>GNU binutils<dd>
|
|
Necessary in some circumstances, optional in others. See the
|
|
host/target specific instructions for your platform for the exact
|
|
requirements.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt>gzip version 1.2.4 (or later) or<dt>bzip2 version 1.0.2 (or later)<dd>
|
|
Necessary to uncompress GCC <samp><span class="command">tar</span></samp> files when source code is
|
|
obtained via FTP mirror sites.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt>GNU make version 3.80 (or later)<dd>
|
|
You must have GNU make installed to build GCC.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt>GNU tar version 1.14 (or later)<dd>
|
|
Necessary (only on some platforms) to untar the source code. Many
|
|
systems' <samp><span class="command">tar</span></samp> programs will also work, only try GNU
|
|
<samp><span class="command">tar</span></samp> if you have problems.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt>Perl version 5.6.1 (or later)<dd>
|
|
Necessary when targeting Darwin, building ‘<samp><span class="samp">libstdc++</span></samp>’,
|
|
and not using <samp><span class="option">--disable-symvers</span></samp>.
|
|
Necessary when targeting Solaris 2 with Sun <samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp> and not using
|
|
<samp><span class="option">--disable-symvers</span></samp>. The bundled <samp><span class="command">perl</span></samp> in Solaris 8
|
|
and up works.
|
|
|
|
<p>Necessary when regenerating <samp><span class="file">Makefile</span></samp> dependencies in libiberty.
|
|
Necessary when regenerating <samp><span class="file">libiberty/functions.texi</span></samp>.
|
|
Necessary when generating manpages from Texinfo manuals.
|
|
Used by various scripts to generate some files included in SVN (mainly
|
|
Unicode-related and rarely changing) from source tables.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><samp><span class="command">jar</span></samp>, or InfoZIP (<samp><span class="command">zip</span></samp> and <samp><span class="command">unzip</span></samp>)<dd>
|
|
Necessary to build libgcj, the GCJ runtime.
|
|
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<p>Several support libraries are necessary to build GCC, some are required,
|
|
others optional. While any sufficiently new version of required tools
|
|
usually work, library requirements are generally stricter. Newer
|
|
versions may work in some cases, but it's safer to use the exact
|
|
versions documented. We appreciate bug reports about problems with
|
|
newer versions, though. If your OS vendor provides packages for the
|
|
support libraries then using those packages may be the simplest way to
|
|
install the libraries.
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt>GNU Multiple Precision Library (GMP) version 4.3.2 (or later)<dd>
|
|
Necessary to build GCC. If a GMP source distribution is found in a
|
|
subdirectory of your GCC sources named <samp><span class="file">gmp</span></samp>, it will be built
|
|
together with GCC. Alternatively, if GMP is already installed but it
|
|
is not in your library search path, you will have to configure with the
|
|
<samp><span class="option">--with-gmp</span></samp> configure option. See also <samp><span class="option">--with-gmp-lib</span></samp>
|
|
and <samp><span class="option">--with-gmp-include</span></samp>.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt>MPFR Library version 2.4.2 (or later)<dd>
|
|
Necessary to build GCC. It can be downloaded from
|
|
<a href="http://www.mpfr.org/">http://www.mpfr.org/</a>. If an MPFR source distribution is found
|
|
in a subdirectory of your GCC sources named <samp><span class="file">mpfr</span></samp>, it will be
|
|
built together with GCC. Alternatively, if MPFR is already installed
|
|
but it is not in your default library search path, the
|
|
<samp><span class="option">--with-mpfr</span></samp> configure option should be used. See also
|
|
<samp><span class="option">--with-mpfr-lib</span></samp> and <samp><span class="option">--with-mpfr-include</span></samp>.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt>MPC Library version 0.8.1 (or later)<dd>
|
|
Necessary to build GCC. It can be downloaded from
|
|
<a href="http://www.multiprecision.org/">http://www.multiprecision.org/</a>. If an MPC source distribution
|
|
is found in a subdirectory of your GCC sources named <samp><span class="file">mpc</span></samp>, it
|
|
will be built together with GCC. Alternatively, if MPC is already
|
|
installed but it is not in your default library search path, the
|
|
<samp><span class="option">--with-mpc</span></samp> configure option should be used. See also
|
|
<samp><span class="option">--with-mpc-lib</span></samp> and <samp><span class="option">--with-mpc-include</span></samp>.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt>ISL Library version 0.14 (or 0.12.2)<dd>
|
|
Necessary to build GCC with the Graphite loop optimizations.
|
|
It can be downloaded from <a href="ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/">ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/</a>
|
|
as <samp><span class="file">isl-0.12.2.tar.bz2</span></samp>. If an ISL source distribution is found
|
|
in a subdirectory of your GCC sources named <samp><span class="file">isl</span></samp>, it will be
|
|
built together with GCC. Alternatively, the <samp><span class="option">--with-isl</span></samp> configure
|
|
option should be used if ISL is not installed in your default library
|
|
search path.

<dl>
|
|
<dt>autoconf version 2.64<dt>GNU m4 version 1.4.6 (or later)<dd>
|
|
Necessary when modifying <samp><span class="file">configure.ac</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">aclocal.m4</span></samp>, etc.
|
|
to regenerate <samp><span class="file">configure</span></samp> and <samp><span class="file">config.in</span></samp> files.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt>automake version 1.11.1<dd>
|
|
Necessary when modifying a <samp><span class="file">Makefile.am</span></samp> file to regenerate its
|
|
associated <samp><span class="file">Makefile.in</span></samp>.
|
|
|
|
<p>Much of GCC does not use automake, so directly edit the <samp><span class="file">Makefile.in</span></samp>
|
|
file. Specifically this applies to the <samp><span class="file">gcc</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">intl</span></samp>,
|
|
<samp><span class="file">libcpp</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">libiberty</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">libobjc</span></samp> directories as well
|
|
as any of their subdirectories.
|
|
|
|
<p>For directories that use automake, GCC requires the latest release in
|
|
the 1.11 series, which is currently 1.11.1. When regenerating a directory
|
|
to a newer version, please update all the directories using an older 1.11
|
|
to the latest released version.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt>gettext version 0.14.5 (or later)<dd>

|
|
<br><dt>DejaGnu 1.4.4<dt>Expect<dt>Tcl<dd>
|
|
Necessary to run the GCC testsuite; see the section on testing for
|
|
details. Tcl 8.6 has a known regression in RE pattern handling that
|
|
make parts of the testsuite fail. See
|
|
<a href="http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/tktview/267b7e2334ee2e9de34c4b00d6e72e2f1997085f">http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/tktview/267b7e2334ee2e9de34c4b00d6e72e2f1997085f</a>

<br><dt>Flex version 2.5.4 (or later)<dd>
|
|
Necessary when modifying <samp><span class="file">*.l</span></samp> files.
|
|
|
|
<p>Necessary to build GCC during development because the generated output
|
|
files are not included in the SVN repository. They are included in
|
|
releases.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt>Texinfo version 4.7 (or later)<dd>

generated output files are not included in the SVN repository. They are
|
|
included in releases.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt>TeX (any working version)<dd>
|
|
Necessary for running <samp><span class="command">texi2dvi</span></samp> and <samp><span class="command">texi2pdf</span></samp>, which
|
|
are used when running <samp><span class="command">make dvi</span></samp> or <samp><span class="command">make pdf</span></samp> to create
|
|
DVI or PDF files, respectively.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt>Sphinx version 1.0 (or later)<dd>
|
|
Necessary to regenerate <samp><span class="file">jit/docs/_build/texinfo</span></samp> from the <samp><span class="file">.rst</span></samp>
|
|
files in the directories below <samp><span class="file">jit/docs</span></samp>.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt>SVN (any version)<dt>SSH (any version)<dd>
|
|
Necessary to access the SVN repository. Public releases and weekly
|
|
snapshots of the development sources are also available via FTP.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt>GNU diffutils version 2.7 (or later)<dd>
|
|
Useful when submitting patches for the GCC source code.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt>patch version 2.5.4 (or later)<dd>

own sources.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt>ecj1<dt>gjavah<dd>
|
|
If you wish to modify <samp><span class="file">.java</span></samp> files in libjava, you will need to
|
|
configure with <samp><span class="option">--enable-java-maintainer-mode</span></samp>, and you will need
|
|
to have executables named <samp><span class="command">ecj1</span></samp> and <samp><span class="command">gjavah</span></samp> in your path.
|
|
The <samp><span class="command">ecj1</span></samp> executable should run the Eclipse Java compiler via
|
|
the GCC-specific entry point. You can download a suitable jar from
|
|
<a href="ftp://sourceware.org/pub/java/">ftp://sourceware.org/pub/java/</a>, or by running the script
|
|
<samp><span class="command">contrib/download_ecj</span></samp>.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt>antlr.jar version 2.7.1 (or later)<dt>antlr binary<dd>
|
|
If you wish to build the <samp><span class="command">gjdoc</span></samp> binary in libjava, you will
|
|
need to have an <samp><span class="file">antlr.jar</span></samp> library available. The library is
|
|
searched for in system locations but can be specified with
|
|
<samp><span class="option">--with-antlr-jar=</span></samp> instead. When configuring with
|
|
<samp><span class="option">--enable-java-maintainer-mode</span></samp>, you will need to have one of
|
|
the executables named <samp><span class="command">cantlr</span></samp>, <samp><span class="command">runantlr</span></samp> or
|
|
<samp><span class="command">antlr</span></samp> in your path.
