+Building egcs-1.0
+
+Now that egcs is configured, you are ready to build the compiler and
+runtime libraries.
+
+We highly recommend that egcs be built using gnu-make; other
+versions make work, then again they might not. To be safe build with gnu-make.
+
+Building a native compiler
+For a native build issue the command "make bootstrap". This will build
+the entire egcs compiler system, which includes the following steps:
+
+
+ Build host tools necessary to build the compiler such as texinfo, bison,
+ gperf.
+
+ Build target tools for use by the compiler such as gas, gld, and binutils.
+
+ Perform a 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler.
+
+ Perform a comparison test of the stage2 and stage3 compilers.
+
+ Build runtime libraries using the stage3 compiler from the previous step.
+
+
+If you are short on disk space you might consider "make bootstrap-lean"
+instead. This is identical to "make bootstrap" except that object files
+from the stage1 and stage2 of the 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler are
+deleted as soon as they are no longer needed.
+
+Building a cross compiler
+
+We recommend reading the crossgcc FAQ for information about building
+cross compilers.
+"ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/embedded/crossgcc/FAQ-0.8.1"
+
+For a cross build, issue the command "make cross", which performs the
+following steps:
+
+ Build host tools necessary to build the compiler such as texinfo, bison,
+ gperf.
+
+ Build target tools for use by the compiler such as gas, gld, and binutils.
+
+ Build the compiler (single stage only).
+
+ Build runtime libraries using the compiler from the previous step.
+
+
+Note that if an error occurs in any step the make process will exit.

+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.

+egcs Frequently Asked Questions
+
+
+How is egcs be different from gcc2?
+
+Six years ago, gcc version 1 had reached a point of stability. For the
+targets it could support, it worked well. It had limitations inherent in
+its design that would be difficult to resolve, so a major effort was made
+and gcc version 2 was the result. When we had gcc2 in a useful state,
+development efforts on gcc1 stopped and we all concentrated on making
+gcc2 better than gcc1 could ever be. This is the kind of step forward
+we want to make with egcs.
+
+In brief, the three biggest differences between egcs and gcc2 are
+these:
+
+
+ More rexamination of basic architectual decisions of
+ gcc and an interest in adding new optimizations;
+
+ working with the groups who have fractured out from gcc2 (like
+ the Linux folks, the Intel optimizations folks, Fortran folks)
+ including more front-ends; and finally
+
+ An open development model (see below) for the development process.
+
+
+These three differences will work together to result in a more
+useful compiler, a more stable compiler, a central compiler that works
+for more people, a compiler that generates better code.
+
+
+There are a lot of exciting compiler optimizations that have come
+out. We want them in gcc. There are a lot of front ends out there for
+gcc for languages like Fortran or Pascal. We want them easily
+installable by users. After six years of working on gcc2, we've come
+to see problems and limitations in the way gcc is architected; it is
+time to address these again.
+
+
+What is an open development model?
+
+With egcs, we are going to try a bazaar style[1] approach to its
+development: We're going to be making snapshots publically available
+to anyone who wants to try them; we're going to welcome anyone to join
+the development mailing list. All of the discussions on the
+development mailing list are available via the web. We're going to be
+making releases with a much higher frequency than they have been made
+in the past: We're shooting for three by the end of 1997.
+
+In addition to weekly snapshots of the egcs development sources, we
+are going to look at making the sources readable from a CVS server by
+anyone. We want to make it so external maintainers of parts of egcs
+are able to commit changes to their part of egcs directly into the
+sources without going through an intermediary.
+
+There have been many potential gcc developers who were not able to
+participate in gcc development in the past. We these people to help in
+any way they can; we ultimately want gcc to be the best compiler in the
+world.
+
+A compiler is a complicated piece of software, there will still be
+strong central maintainers who will reject patches, who will demand
+documentation of implementations, and who will keep the level of
+quality as high as it is today. Code that could use wider testing may
+be intergrated--code that is simply ill-conceived won't be.
+
+egcs is not the first piece of software to use this open development
+process; FreeBSD, the Emacs lisp repository, and Linux are a few
+examples of the bazaar style of development.
+
+With egcs, we will be adding new features and optimizations at a
+rate that has not been done since the creation of gcc2; these additions
+will inevitably have a temporarily destabilizing effect. With the help
+of developers working together with this bazaar style development, the
+resulting stability and quality levels will be better than we've had
+before.
+
+cathedral-vs-bazaar[1]
+ We've been discussing different development models a lot over the
+ past few months. The paper which started all of this introduced two
+ terms: A cathedral development model versus a bazaar
+ development model. The paper is written by Eric S. Raymond, it is
+ called `` http://locke.ccil.org/~esr/writings/cathedral.html" The
+ Cathedral and the Bazaar''. The paper is a useful starting point
+ for discussions.
+
+
+
+bits/libc-lock.h: No such file or directory
+egcs includes a tightly integrated libio and libstdc++ implementation which
+can cause problems on hosts which have libio integrated into their C library
+(most notably Linux).
+
+We believe that we've solved the major technical problems for the most
+common versions of libc found on Linux systems. However, some versions
+of Linux use pre-release versions of glibc2, which egcs has trouble detecting
+and correctly handling.
+
+If you're using one of these pre-release versions of glibc2, you may get
+a message "bits/libc-lock.h: No such file or directory" when building egcs.
+Unfortunately, to fix this problem you will need to update your C library to
+glibc2.0.5c.
+
+Late breaking news: we may have at least a partial solution for these
+problems. So this FAQ entry may no longer be needed.
+
+
+`_IO_stdfile_0_lock' was not declared in this scope
+If you get this error, it means either egcs incorrectly guessed what version
+of libc is installed on your linux system, or you incorrectly specified a
+version of glibc when configuring egcs.
+
+If you did not provide a target name when configuring egcs, then you've
+found a bug which needs to be reported. If you did provide a target name at
+configure time, then you should reconfigure without specifying a target name.
+
+
+Problems building the Fortran compiler
+The Fortran front end can not be built with most vendor compilers; it must
+be built with gcc. As a result, you may get an error if you do not follow
+the install instructions carefully.
+
+In particular, instead of using "make" to build egcs, you should use
+"make bootstrap" if you are building a native compiler or "make cross"
+if you are building a cross compiler.
+
+It has also been reported that the Fortran compiler can not be built
+on Red Hat 4.X linux for the Alpha. Fixing this may require upgrading
+binutils or to Red Hat 5.0; we'll provide more information as it becomes
+available.
+
+
+Problems building on MIPS platforms
+egcs requires the use of GAS on all versions of Irix, except Irix 6 due
+to limitations in older Irix assemblers.
+
+ Either of these messages indicates that you are using the MIPS assembler
+when instead you should be using GAS.
+
+ as0: Error: ./libgcc2.c, line 1:Badly delimited numeric literal
+ .4byte $LECIE1-$LSCIE1
+ as0: Error: ./libgcc2.c, line 1:malformed statement
+
+
+
+ as0: Error: /home/law/egcs_release/gcc/libgcc2.c, line 1:undefined symbol in expression
+ .word $LECIE1-$LSCIE1
+
+
+ For Irix 6, you should use the native assembler as GAS is not supported
+on Irix 6.
+
+
+Problems with exception handling on x86 platforms
+If you are using the GNU assembler (aka gas) on an x86 platform and
+exception handling is not working correctly, then odds are you're using a
+buggy assembler.
+
+We recommend binutils-2.8.0.1.15 or newer.
+"ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/GCC/binutils-2.8.1.0.15.tar.gz binutils-2.8.0.1.15 source
+ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/GCC/binutils-2.8.1.0.15.bin.tar.gz binutils-2.8.0.1.15 x86 binary for libc5
+ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/GCC/binutils-2.8.1.0.15.glibc.bin.tar.gz binutils-2.8.0.1.15 x86 binary for glibc2
+Or, you can try a
+ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/egcs/infrastructure/gas-970915.tar.gz binutils snapshot; however, be aware that the binutils snapshot is untested
+and may not work (or even build). Use it at your own risk.
+
+
+Bootstrap comparison failures on HPs
+If you bootstrap the compiler on hpux10 using the HP assembler instead of
+gas, every file will fail the comparison test.
+
+The HP asembler inserts timestamps into object files it creates, causing
+every file to be different. The location of the timestamp varies for each
+object file, so there's no real way to work around this mis-feature.
+
+Odds are your compiler is fine, but there's no way to be certain.
+
+If you use GAS on HPs, then you will not run into this problem because
+GAS never inserts timestamps into object files. For this and various other
+reasons we highly recommend using GAS on HPs.
+
+
+Bootstrap loops rebuilding cc1 over and over
+When building egcs, the build process loops rebuilding cc1 over and
+over again. This happens on mips-sgi-irix5.2, and possibly other platforms.
+
+This is probably a bug somewhere in the egcs Makefile. Until we find and
+fix this bug we recommend you use GNU make instead of vendor supplied make
+programs.
+
+
+Dynamic linker is unable to find GCC libraries
+This problem manifests itself by programs not finding shared libraries
+they depend on when the programs are started. Note this problem often manifests
+itself with failures in the libio/libstdc++ tests after configuring with
+--enable-shared and building egcs.
+
+GCC does not specify a runpath so that the dynamic linker can find dynamic
+libraries at runtime.
+
+The short explaination is that if you always pass a -R option to the
+linker, then your programs become dependent on directories which
+may be NFS mounted, and programs may hang unnecessarily when an
+NFS server goes down.
+
+The problem is not programs that do require the directories; those
+programs are going to hang no matter what you do. The problem is
+programs that do not require the directories.
+
+SunOS effectively always passed a -R option for every -L option;
+this was a bad idea, and so it was removed for Solaris. We should
+not recreate it.
+
+
+Unable to run the testsuite
+If you get a message about unable to find "standard.exp" when trying to
+run the egcs testsuites, then your dejagnu is too old to run the egcs tests.
+You will need to get a newer version of dejagnu; we've made a
+<a href="ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/egcs/infrastructure/dejagnu-971028.tar.gz">
+dejagnu snapshot available until a new version of dejagnu can be released.
+
+
+How to build a cross compiler
+ Building cross compilers is a rather complex undertaking because they
+usually need additional software (cross assembler, cross linker, target
+libraries, target include files, etc).
+
+ We recommend reading the <a href="ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/embedded/crossgcc/FAQ-0.8.1">
+crossgcc FAQ for information about building cross compilers.
+
+ If you have all the pieces available, then `make cross' should build a
+cross compiler. `make LANGUAGES="c c++" install'will install the cross
+compiler.
+
+ Note that if you're trying to build a cross compiler in a tree which
+includes binutils-2.8 in addition to egcs, then you're going to need to
+make a couple minor tweaks so that the cross assembler, linker and
+nm utilities will be found.
+
+binutils-2.8 builds those files as gas.new, ld.new and nm.new; egcs gcc
+looks for them using gas-new, ld-new and nm-new, so you may have to arrange
+for any symlinks which point to &ltfile&gt.new to be changed to &ltfile&gt-new.
+
+
+Snapshots, how, when, why
+ We make snapshots of the egcs sources about once a week; there is no
+predetermined schedule. These snapshots are intended to give everyone
+access to work in progress. Any given snapshot may generate incorrect code
+or even fail to build.
+
+If you plan on downloading and using snapshots, we highly recommend you
+subscribe to the egcs mailing lists. See <a href="index.html#mailinglists">
+mailing lists on the main egcs page for instructions on how to subscribe.
+
+When using the diff files to update from older snapshots to newer snapshots,
+make sure to use "-E" and "-p" arguments to patch so that empty files are
+deleted and full pathnames are provided to patch. If your version of
+patch does not support "-E", you'll need to get a newer version. Also note
+that you may need autoconf, autoheader and various other programs if you use
+diff files to update from one snapshot to the next.
+
+
+How to install both egcs and gcc2
+It may be desirable to install both egcs and gcc2 on the same system. This
+can be done by using different prefix paths at configure time and a few
+symlinks.
+
+Basically, configure the two compilers with different --prefix options,
+then build and install each compiler. Assume you want "gcc" to be the egcs
+compiler and available in /usr/local/bin; also assume that you want "gcc2"
+to be the gcc2 compiler and also available in /usr/local/bin.
+
+The easiest way to do this is to configure egcs with --prefix=/usr/local/egcs
+and gcc2 with --prefix=/usr/local/gcc2. Build and install both compilers.
+Then make a symlink from /usr/local/bin/gcc to /usr/local/egcs/bin/gcc and
+from /usr/local/bin/gcc2 to /usr/local/gcc2/bin/gcc. Create similar links
+for the "g++", "c++" and "g77" compiler drivers.
+
+
+Problems building Linux kernels
+If you installed a recent binutils/gas snapshot on your Linux system,
+you may not be able to build the kernel because objdump does not understand
+the "-k" switch. The solution for this problem is to remove /usr/bin/encaps.
+
+You may get an internal compiler error compiling process.c in newer
+versions of the Linux kernel on x86 machines. This is a bug in an asm
+statement in process.c, not a bug in egcs. XXX How to fix?!?
+
+You may get errors with the X driver of the form
+_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
+
+It's a kernel bug. The function sys_iopl in arch/i386/kernel/process.c
+does an illegal hack which used to work but is now broken since GCC optimizes
+more aggressively . The newer 2.1.x kernels already have a fix which should
+also work in 2.0.32.
+
+
+Virtual memory exhausted error
+ This error means your system ran out of memory; this can happen for large
+files, particularly when optimizing. If you're getting this error you should
+consider trying to simplify your files or reducing the optimization level.
+
+Note that using -pedantic or -Wreturn-type can cause an explosion in the
+amount of memory needed for template-heavy C++ code, such as code that uses
+STL. Also note that -Wall includes -Wreturn-type, so if you use -Wall you
+will need to specify -Wno-return-type to turn it off.
+
+
+GCC can not find GAS
+Some configurations like irix4, irix5, hpux* require the use of the GNU
+assembler intead of the system assembler. To ensure that egcs finds the GNU
+assembler, you should configure the GNU assembler with the same --prefix
+option as you used for egcs. Then build & install the GNU assembler.
+
+
+egcs does not work on Red Hat 5.0
+ egcs does not currently work with Red Hat 5.0; we'll update this
+entry with more information as it becomes available.

+Unlike various prereleases of GCC, that used '-belf' and defaulted to
+COFF, you must now use the '-melf' and '-mcoff' flags to toggle between
+the two object file formats. ELF is now the default.
+
+Look in gcc/config/i386/sco5.h (search for "messy") for additional
+OpenServer-specific flags.
+
+
+
+hppa*-hp-hpux*
+We highly recommend using gas/binutils-2.8 on all hppa platforms; you
+may encounter a variety of problems when using the HP assembler.
+
+hppa*-hp-hpux9
+The HP assembler has major problems on this platform. We've tried to work
+around the worst of the problems. However, those workarounds may be causing
+linker crashes in some circumstances; the workarounds also probably prevent
+shared libraries from working. Use the GNU assembler to avoid these problems.
+
+The configuration scripts for egcs will also trigger a bug in the hpux9
+shell. To avoid this problem set CONFIG_SHELL to /bin/ksh and SHELL to
+/bin/ksh in your environment.
+
+hppa*-hp-hpux10
+For hpux10.20, we highly recommend you pick up the latest sed
+patch from HP. HP has two sites which provide patches free of charge.
+
+http://us-support.external.hp.com for US, Canada, Asia-Pacific, and
+Latin-America
+http://europe-support.external.hp.com for Europe
+
+Retrieve patch PHCO_12862.
+
+The HP assembler on these systems is much better than the hpux9 assembler,
+but still has some problems. Most notably the assembler inserts timestamps
+into each object file it creates, causing the 3-stage comparison test to fail
+during a "make bootstrap". You should be able to continue by saying "make all"
+after getting the failure from "make bootstrap".
+
+m68k-*-nextstep*
+You absolutely must use GNU sed and GNU make on this platform.
+
+If you try to build the integrated C++ & C++ runtime libraries on this system
+you will run into trouble with include files. The way to get around this is
+to use the following sequence. Note you must have write permission to
+prefix for this sequence to work.
+
+cd objdir
+make all-texinfo all-bison all-byacc all-binutils all-gas all-ld
+cd gcc
+make bootstrap
+make install-headers-tar
+cd ..
+make bootstrap3
+
+m68k-sun-sunos4.1.1
+It is reported that you may need the GNU assembler on this platform.
+
+mips*-sgi-irix4
+mips*-sgi-irix5
+You must use GAS on these platforms, the native assembler can not handle the
+code for exception handling support on this platform.
+
+These systems don't have ranlib, which various components in egcs need; you
+should be able to avoid this problem by installing GNU binutils, which includes
+a functional ranlib for this system.
+
+You may get the following warning on irix4 platforms, it can be safely
+ignored.
+
+ warning: foo.o does not have gp tables for all its sections.
+
+mips*-sgi-irix6
+You must not use GAS on irix6 platforms; doing so will only cause problems.
+
+These systems don't have ranlib, which various components in egcs need; you
+should be able to avoid this problem by making a dummy script called ranlib
+which just exits with zero status and placing it in your path.
+
+rs6000-ibm-aix*
+powerpc-ibm-aix*
+At least one person as reported problems with older versions of gnu-make on
+this platform. make-3.76 is reported to work correctly.
+
+powerpc-*-linux-gnu*
+You will need binutils-2.8.1.0.17 from ftp://ftp.yggdrasil.com/private/hjl for
+a working egcs. It is strongly recommended to recompile binutils with egcs
+if you initially built it with gcc-2.7.2.*.

+Testing egcs-1.0
+
+Before you install egcs, you might wish to run the egcs testsuite; this
+step is optional and may require you to download additional software.
+
+First, you must have downloaded the egcs testsuites; the full distribution
+contains testsuites. If you downloaded the "core" compiler plus any front
+ends, then you do not have the testsuites. You can download the testsuites
+from the same site where you downloaded the core distribution and language
+front ends.
+
+Second, you must have a new version of dejagnu on your system; dejagnu-1.3
+will not work. We have made a dejagnu snapshot
+ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/egcs/infrastructure/dejagnu-971028.tar.gz
+dejagnu snapshot available in ftp.cygnus.com:/pub/egcs/infrastructure until
+a new version of dejagnu can be released.
+
+Assuming you've got the testsuites unpacked and have installed an appropriate
+dejagnu, you can run the testsuite with "cd objdir; make -k check".
+This may take a long time. Go get some lunch.
+
+The testing process will try to test as many components in the egcs
+distrubution as possible, including the C, C++ and Fortran compiler as
+well as the C++ runtime libraries.

+<title>Configuring egcs-1.0 </title>

+<body bgcolor="white">
+<h1 align="center">Configuring egcs-1.0</h1>
+
+<p>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.
+
+<p>We use <i>srcdir</i> to refer to the toplevel source directory for
+egcs; we use <i>objdir</i> to refer to the toplevel build/object
+directory for egcs.
+
+<p>First, we <b>highly</b> recommend that egcs be built into a separate
+directory than the sources. This is how we generally build egcs; building
+where <i>srcdir</i> == <i>objdir</i> should still work, but doesn't get
+extensive testing.
+
+<p>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.
+
+<p>To configure egcs:
+
+<blockquote>
+<tt>
+ <br>% mkdir <i>objdir</i>
+ <br>% cd <i>objdir</i>
+ <br>% <i>srcdir</i>/configure <b>[target]</b> <b>[options]</b>
+</tt>
+</blockquote>
+
+
+<p><b>target specification</b>
+<ul>
+ <li> egcs has code to correctly determine the correct value for
+ <b>target</b> for nearly all native systems. Therefore, we highly
+ recommend you not provide a configure target when configuring a
+ native compiler.
+
+ <li> <b>target</b> must be specified when configuring a cross compiler;
+ examples of valid targets would be i960-rtems, m68k-coff, sh-elf, etc.
+</ul>
+
+
+<p><b> options specification</b>
+
+<p>Use <b>options</b> to override several configure time options for
+egcs. A partial list of supported <tt>options</tt>:
+
+<ul>
+ <li> <tt>--prefix=</tt><i>dirname</i> -- 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.
+
+ <br>These additional options control where certain parts of the distribution
+ are installed. Normally you should not need to use these options.
+ <ul>
+ <li> <tt>--with-local-prefix=</tt><i>dirname</i> -- Specify the installation
+ directory for local include files. The default is /usr/local.
+
+ <li> <tt>--with-gxx-include-dir=</tt><i>dirname</i> -- Specify the installation
+ directory for g++ header files. The default is /usr/local/include/g++.
+ </ul>
+
+ <li> <tt>--enable-shared</tt> -- Build shared versions of the C++ runtime
+ libraries if supported <tt>--disable-shared</tt> is the default.
+
+ <li> <tt>--enable-haifa</tt> -- Enable the new Haifa instruction scheduler in the
+ compiler; the new scheduler can significantly improve code on some targets.
+ <tt>--disable-haifa</tt> is currently the default on all platforms except the HPPA.
+
+ <li> <tt>--with-gnu-as</tt> -- Specify that the compiler should assume the GNU
+ assembler (aka gas) is available.
+
+ <li> <tt>--with-gnu-ld</tt> -- Specify that the compiler should assume the GNU
+ linker (aka gld) is available.
+
+ <li> <tt>--with-stabs</tt> -- 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.
+
+ <li> <tt>--enable-multilib</tt> -- Specify that multiple target libraries
+ should be built to support different target variants, calling conventions,
+ etc. This is the default.
+
+ <li> <tt>--enable-threads</tt> -- Specify that the target supports threads.
+ This only effects the Objective-C compiler and runtime library.
+
+ <li> <tt>--enable-threads=</tt><i>lib</i> -- Specify that <i>lib</i> is the
+ thread support library. This only effects the Objective-C compiler and
+ runtime library.
+
+ <li> <tt>--with-cpu=</tt><i>cpu</i> -- Specify which cpu variant the compiler should
+ generate code for by default. This is currently only supported on the
+ RS6000/PowerPC ports.
+</ul>
+
+<p>Some options which only apply to building cross compilers:
+<ul>
+ <li> <tt>--with-headers=</tt><i>dir</i> -- Specifies a directory which has target
+ include files.
+ <li> <tt>--with-libs=</tt><i>dirs</i> -- Specifies a list of directories which contain
+ the target runtime libraries.
+ <li> <tt>--with-newlib</tt> -- 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.
+</ul>
+
+<p>Note that each <tt>--enable</tt> option has a corresponding <tt>--disable</tt> option and
+that each <tt>--with</tt> option has a corresponding <tt>--without</tt> option.

+<h2><a name="gcc-2-diff">How is egcs be different from gcc2?</a></h2>
+
+<p>Six years ago, gcc version 1 had reached a point of stability. For the
+targets it could support, it worked well. It had limitations inherent in
+its design that would be difficult to resolve, so a major effort was made
+and gcc version 2 was the result. When we had gcc2 in a useful state,
+development efforts on gcc1 stopped and we all concentrated on making
+gcc2 better than gcc1 could ever be. This is the kind of step forward
+we want to make with egcs.
+
+<p>In brief, the three biggest differences between egcs and gcc2 are
+these:
+
+<ul>
+ <li>More rexamination of basic architectual decisions of
+ gcc and an interest in adding new optimizations;
+
+ <li>working with the groups who have fractured out from gcc2 (like
+ the Linux folks, the Intel optimizations folks, Fortran folks)
+ including more front-ends; and finally
+
+ <li>An open development model (<a
+ href="#open-development">see below</a>) for the development process.
+</ul>
+
+<p>These three differences will work together to result in a more
+useful compiler, a more stable compiler, a central compiler that works
+for more people, a compiler that generates better code.
+
+
+<p>There are a lot of exciting compiler optimizations that have come
+out. We want them in gcc. There are a lot of front ends out there for
+gcc for languages like Fortran or Pascal. We want them easily
+installable by users. After six years of working on gcc2, we've come
+to see problems and limitations in the way gcc is architected; it is
+time to address these again.
+
+<hr>
+<h2><a name="open-development">What is an open development model?</a></h2>
+
+<p>With egcs, we are going to try a bazaar style<a
+href="#cathedral-vs-bazaar"><b>[1]</b></a> approach to its
+development: We're going to be making snapshots publically available
+to anyone who wants to try them; we're going to welcome anyone to join
+the development mailing list. All of the discussions on the
+development mailing list are available via the web. We're going to be
+making releases with a much higher frequency than they have been made
+in the past: We're shooting for three by the end of 1997.
+
+<p>In addition to weekly snapshots of the egcs development sources, we
+are going to look at making the sources readable from a CVS server by
+anyone. We want to make it so external maintainers of parts of egcs
+are able to commit changes to their part of egcs directly into the
+sources without going through an intermediary.
+
+<p>There have been many potential gcc developers who were not able to
+participate in gcc development in the past. We these people to help in
+any way they can; we ultimately want gcc to be the best compiler in the
+world.
+
+<p>A compiler is a complicated piece of software, there will still be
+strong central maintainers who will reject patches, who will demand
+documentation of implementations, and who will keep the level of
+quality as high as it is today. Code that could use wider testing may
+be intergrated--code that is simply ill-conceived won't be.
+
+<p>egcs is not the first piece of software to use this open development
+process; FreeBSD, the Emacs lisp repository, and Linux are a few
+examples of the bazaar style of development.
+
+<p>With egcs, we will be adding new features and optimizations at a
+rate that has not been done since the creation of gcc2; these additions
+will inevitably have a temporarily destabilizing effect. With the help
+of developers working together with this bazaar style development, the
+resulting stability and quality levels will be better than we've had
+before.
+
+<blockquote>
+<a name="cathedral-vs-bazaar"><b>[1]</b></a>
+ We've been discussing different development models a lot over the
+ past few months. The paper which started all of this introduced two
+ terms: A <b>cathedral</b> development model versus a <b>bazaar</b>
+ development model. The paper is written by Eric S. Raymond, it is
+ called ``<a
+ href="http://locke.ccil.org/~esr/writings/cathedral.html">The
+ Cathedral and the Bazaar</a>''. The paper is a useful starting point
+ for discussions.
+</blockquote>
+
+
+<hr>
+<h2><a name="libc-lock">bits/libc-lock.h: No such file or directory</a></h2>
+<p>egcs includes a tightly integrated libio and libstdc++ implementation which
+can cause problems on hosts which have libio integrated into their C library
+(most notably Linux).
+
+<p>We believe that we've solved the major technical problems for the most
+common versions of libc found on Linux systems. However, some versions
+of Linux use pre-release versions of glibc2, which egcs has trouble detecting
+and correctly handling.
+
+<p>If you're using one of these pre-release versions of glibc2, you may get
+a message "bits/libc-lock.h: No such file or directory" when building egcs.
+Unfortunately, to fix this problem you will need to update your C library to
+glibc2.0.5c.
+
+<p>Late breaking news: we may have at least a partial solution for these
+problems. So this FAQ entry may no longer be needed.
+
+<hr>
+<h2><a name="morelibc">`_IO_stdfile_0_lock' was not declared in this scope</a></h2>
+<p>If you get this error, it means either egcs incorrectly guessed what version
+of libc is installed on your linux system, or you incorrectly specified a
+version of glibc when configuring egcs.
+
+<p>If you did not provide a target name when configuring egcs, then you've
+found a bug which needs to be reported. If you did provide a target name at
+configure time, then you should reconfigure without specifying a target name.
+
+<hr>
+<h2><a name="fortran">Problems building the Fortran compiler</a></h2>
+<p>The Fortran front end can not be built with most vendor compilers; it must
+be built with gcc. As a result, you may get an error if you do not follow
+the install instructions carefully.
+
+<p>In particular, instead of using "make" to build egcs, you should use
+"make bootstrap" if you are building a native compiler or "make cross"
+if you are building a cross compiler.
+
+<p>It has also been reported that the Fortran compiler can not be built
+on Red Hat 4.X linux for the Alpha. Fixing this may require upgrading
+binutils or to Red Hat 5.0; we'll provide more information as it becomes
+available.
+
+<hr>
+<h2><a name="mips">Problems building on MIPS platforms</a></h2>
+<p>egcs requires the use of GAS on all versions of Irix, except Irix 6 due
+to limitations in older Irix assemblers.
+
+<p> Either of these messages indicates that you are using the MIPS assembler
+when instead you should be using GAS.
+
+<pre>
+ as0: Error: ./libgcc2.c, line 1:Badly delimited numeric literal
+ .4byte $LECIE1-$LSCIE1
+ as0: Error: ./libgcc2.c, line 1:malformed statement
+</pre>
+
+<hr>
+<pre>
+ as0: Error: /home/law/egcs_release/gcc/libgcc2.c, line 1:undefined symbol in expression
+ .word $LECIE1-$LSCIE1
+
+</pre>
+
+
+<p> For Irix 6, you should use the native assembler as GAS is not supported
+on Irix 6.
+
+<hr>
+<h2> <a name="x86eh">Problems with exception handling on x86 platforms</a></h2>
+<p>If you are using the GNU assembler (aka gas) on an x86 platform and
+exception handling is not working correctly, then odds are you're using a
+buggy assembler.
+
+<p>We recommend binutils-2.8.0.1.15 or newer.
+<br><a href="ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/GCC/binutils-2.8.1.0.15.tar.gz"> binutils-2.8.0.1.15 source</a>
+<br><a href="ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/GCC/binutils-2.8.1.0.15.bin.tar.gz"> binutils-2.8.0.1.15 x86 binary for libc5</a>
+<br><a href="ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/GCC/binutils-2.8.1.0.15.glibc.bin.tar.gz"> binutils-2.8.0.1.15 x86 binary for glibc2</a>
+Or, you can try a
+<a href="ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/egcs/infrastructure/gas-970915.tar.gz"> binutils snapshot</a>; however, be aware that the binutils snapshot is untested
+and may not work (or even build). Use it at your own risk.
+
+<hr>
+<h2> <a name="hpcompare">Bootstrap comparison failures on HPs</a></h2>
+<p>If you bootstrap the compiler on hpux10 using the HP assembler instead of
+gas, every file will fail the comparison test.
+
+<p>The HP asembler inserts timestamps into object files it creates, causing
+every file to be different. The location of the timestamp varies for each
+object file, so there's no real way to work around this mis-feature.
+
+<p>Odds are your compiler is fine, but there's no way to be certain.
+
+<p>If you use GAS on HPs, then you will not run into this problem because
+GAS never inserts timestamps into object files. For this and various other
+reasons we highly recommend using GAS on HPs.
+
+<hr>
+<h2> <a name="makebugs">Bootstrap loops rebuilding cc1 over and over</a></h2>
+<p>When building egcs, the build process loops rebuilding cc1 over and
+over again. This happens on mips-sgi-irix5.2, and possibly other platforms.
+
+<p>This is probably a bug somewhere in the egcs Makefile. Until we find and
+fix this bug we recommend you use GNU make instead of vendor supplied make
+programs.
+
+<hr>
+<h2> <a name="rpath">Dynamic linker is unable to find GCC libraries</a></h2>
+<p>This problem manifests itself by programs not finding shared libraries
+they depend on when the programs are started. Note this problem often manifests
+itself with failures in the libio/libstdc++ tests after configuring with
+--enable-shared and building egcs.
+
+<p>GCC does not specify a runpath so that the dynamic linker can find dynamic
+libraries at runtime.
+
+<p>The short explaination is that if you always pass a -R option to the
+linker, then your programs become dependent on directories which
+may be NFS mounted, and programs may hang unnecessarily when an
+NFS server goes down.
+
+<p>The problem is not programs that do require the directories; those
+programs are going to hang no matter what you do. The problem is
+programs that do not require the directories.
+
+<p>SunOS effectively always passed a -R option for every -L option;
+this was a bad idea, and so it was removed for Solaris. We should
+not recreate it.
+
+<hr>
+<h2> <a name="dejagnu">Unable to run the testsuite</a></h2>
+<p>If you get a message about unable to find "standard.exp" when trying to
+run the egcs testsuites, then your dejagnu is too old to run the egcs tests.
+You will need to get a newer version of dejagnu; we've made a
+<a href="ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/egcs/infrastructure/dejagnu-971028.tar.gz">
+dejagnu snapshot</a> available until a new version of dejagnu can be released.
+
+<hr>
+<h2> <a name="cross">How to build a cross compiler</a></h2>
+<p> Building cross compilers is a rather complex undertaking because they
+usually need additional software (cross assembler, cross linker, target
+libraries, target include files, etc).
+
+<p> We recommend reading the <a href="ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/embedded/crossgcc/FAQ-0.8.1">
+crossgcc FAQ</a> for information about building cross compilers.
+
+<p> If you have all the pieces available, then `make cross' should build a
+cross compiler. `make LANGUAGES="c c++" install'will install the cross
+compiler.
+
+<p> Note that if you're trying to build a cross compiler in a tree which
+includes binutils-2.8 in addition to egcs, then you're going to need to
+make a couple minor tweaks so that the cross assembler, linker and
+nm utilities will be found.
+
+<p>binutils-2.8 builds those files as gas.new, ld.new and nm.new; egcs gcc
+looks for them using gas-new, ld-new and nm-new, so you may have to arrange
+for any symlinks which point to &ltfile&gt.new to be changed to &ltfile&gt-new.
+
+<hr>
+<h2> <a name="snapshot">Snapshots, how, when, why</a></h2>
+<p> We make snapshots of the egcs sources about once a week; there is no
+predetermined schedule. These snapshots are intended to give everyone
+access to work in progress. Any given snapshot may generate incorrect code
+or even fail to build.
+
+<p>If you plan on downloading and using snapshots, we highly recommend you
+subscribe to the egcs mailing lists. See <a href="index.html#mailinglists">
+mailing lists</a> on the main egcs page for instructions on how to subscribe.
+
+<p>When using the diff files to update from older snapshots to newer snapshots,
+make sure to use "-E" and "-p" arguments to patch so that empty files are
+deleted and full pathnames are provided to patch. If your version of
+patch does not support "-E", you'll need to get a newer version. Also note
+that you may need autoconf, autoheader and various other programs if you use
+diff files to update from one snapshot to the next.
+
+<hr>
+<h2> <a name="multiple">How to install both egcs and gcc2</a></h2>
+<p>It may be desirable to install both egcs and gcc2 on the same system. This
+can be done by using different prefix paths at configure time and a few
+symlinks.
+
+<p>Basically, configure the two compilers with different --prefix options,
+then build and install each compiler. Assume you want "gcc" to be the egcs
+compiler and available in /usr/local/bin; also assume that you want "gcc2"
+to be the gcc2 compiler and also available in /usr/local/bin.
+
+<p>The easiest way to do this is to configure egcs with --prefix=/usr/local/egcs
+and gcc2 with --prefix=/usr/local/gcc2. Build and install both compilers.
+Then make a symlink from /usr/local/bin/gcc to /usr/local/egcs/bin/gcc and
+from /usr/local/bin/gcc2 to /usr/local/gcc2/bin/gcc. Create similar links
+for the "g++", "c++" and "g77" compiler drivers.
+
+<hr>
+<h2> <a name="linuxkernel">Problems building Linux kernels</a></h2>
+<p>If you installed a recent binutils/gas snapshot on your Linux system,
+you may not be able to build the kernel because objdump does not understand
+the "-k" switch. The solution for this problem is to remove /usr/bin/encaps.
+
+<p>You may get an internal compiler error compiling process.c in newer
+versions of the Linux kernel on x86 machines. This is a bug in an asm
+statement in process.c, not a bug in egcs. XXX How to fix?!?
+
+<p>You may get errors with the X driver of the form
+<pre>
+_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
+</pre>
+
+<p>It's a kernel bug. The function sys_iopl in arch/i386/kernel/process.c
+does an illegal hack which used to work but is now broken since GCC optimizes
+more aggressively . The newer 2.1.x kernels already have a fix which should
+also work in 2.0.32.
+
+<hr>
+<h2> <a name="memexhausted">Virtual memory exhausted error</a></h2>
+<p> This error means your system ran out of memory; this can happen for large
+files, particularly when optimizing. If you're getting this error you should
+consider trying to simplify your files or reducing the optimization level.
+
+<p>Note that using -pedantic or -Wreturn-type can cause an explosion in the
+amount of memory needed for template-heavy C++ code, such as code that uses
+STL. Also note that -Wall includes -Wreturn-type, so if you use -Wall you
+will need to specify -Wno-return-type to turn it off.
+
+<hr>
+<h2> <a name="gas">GCC can not find GAS</a></h2>
+<p>Some configurations like irix4, irix5, hpux* require the use of the GNU
+assembler intead of the system assembler. To ensure that egcs finds the GNU
+assembler, you should configure the GNU assembler with the same --prefix
+option as you used for egcs. Then build & install the GNU assembler.
+
+<hr>
+<h2> <a name="rh5.0">egcs does not work on Red Hat 5.0</a></h2>
+<p> egcs does not currently work with Red Hat 5.0; we'll update this
+entry with more information as it becomes available.

+
+<p>If something goes wrong in the configure, build, test or install
+procedures, first double check that you followed the generic and target
+specific installation instructions carefully. Then check the

+No specific installation needs/instructions.
+
+
+<p><b>i?86-*-linux*</b><br>
+You will need binutils-2.8.1.0.15 or newer for exception handling to work.
+
+<p><b>i?86-*-sco3.2v5*</b><br>
+The SCO assembler is currently required. The GNU assembler is not up
+to the task of switching between ELF and COFF at runtime.
+
+<br>Unlike various prereleases of GCC, that used '-belf' and defaulted to
+COFF, you must now use the '-melf' and '-mcoff' flags to toggle between
+the two object file formats. ELF is now the default.
+
+<br>Look in gcc/config/i386/sco5.h (search for "messy") for additional
+OpenServer-specific flags.
+
+
+
+<p><b>hppa*-hp-hpux*</b><br>
+We <b>highly</b> recommend using gas/binutils-2.8 on all hppa platforms; you
+may encounter a variety of problems when using the HP assembler.
+
+XXX How to make sure gcc finds/uses gas.
+
+<p><b>hppa*-hp-hpux9</b><br>
+The HP assembler has major problems on this platform. We've tried to work
+around the worst of the problems. However, those workarounds may be causing
+linker crashes in some circumstances; the workarounds also probably prevent
+shared libraries from working. Use the GNU assembler to avoid these problems.
+
+<br>The configuration scripts for egcs will also trigger a bug in the hpux9
+shell. To avoid this problem set CONFIG_SHELL to /bin/ksh and SHELL to
+/bin/ksh in your environment.
+
+<p><b>hppa*-hp-hpux10</b><br>
+For hpux10.20, we <b>highly</b> recommend you pick up the latest sed
+patch from HP. HP has two sites which provide patches free of charge.
+
+<br><a href="http://us-support.external.hp.com">US, Canada, Asia-Pacific, and
+Latin-America</a>
+<br><a href="http://europe-support.external.hp.com">Europe</a>
+
+<p>Retrieve patch PHCO_12862.
+
+<p>The HP assembler on these systems is much better than the hpux9 assembler,
+but still has some problems. Most notably the assembler inserts timestamps
+into each object file it creates, causing the 3-stage comparison test to fail
+during a "make bootstrap". You should be able to continue by saying "make all"
+after getting the failure from "make bootstrap".
+
+<p><b>m68k-*-nextstep*</b><br>
+You absolutely must use GNU sed and GNU make on this platform.
+
+<p>If you try to build the integrated C++ & C++ runtime libraries on this system
+you will run into trouble with include files. The way to get around this is
+to use the following sequence. Note you must have write permission to
+<i>prefix</i> for this sequence to work.
+
+<p>cd <i>objdir</i><br>
+make all-texinfo all-bison all-byacc all-binutils all-gas all-ld<br>
+cd gcc<br>
+make bootstrap<br>
+make install-headers-tar<br>
+cd ..<br>
+make bootstrap3<br>
+
+<p><b>m68k-sun-sunos4.1.1</b><br>
+It is reported that you may need the GNU assembler on this platform.
+
+<p><b>mips*-sgi-irix4</b><br>
+<b>mips*-sgi-irix5</b><br>
+You must use GAS on these platforms, the native assembler can not handle the
+code for exception handling support on this platform.
+
+<p>These systems don't have ranlib, which various components in egcs need; you
+should be able to avoid this problem by installing GNU binutils, which includes
+a functional ranlib for this system.
+
+<p>You may get the following warning on irix4 platforms, it can be safely
+ignored.
+<pre>
+ warning: foo.o does not have gp tables for all its sections.
+</pre>
+
+<p><b>mips*-sgi-irix6</b><br>
+You must not use GAS on irix6 platforms; doing so will only cause problems.
+
+<p>These systems don't have ranlib, which various components in egcs need; you
+should be able to avoid this problem by making a dummy script called ranlib
+which just exits with zero status and placing it in your path.
+
+<p><b>rs6000-ibm-aix*</b><br>
+<b>powerpc-ibm-aix*</b><br>
+At least one person as reported problems with older versions of gnu-make on
+this platform. make-3.76 is reported to work correctly.
+
+<p><b>powerpc-*-linux-gnu*</b><br>
+You will need
+<a href="ftp://ftp.yggdrasil.com/private/hjl">binutils-2.8.1.0.17</a> for

+<p>First, you must have downloaded the egcs testsuites; the full distribution

+dejagnu snapshot</a> available in ftp.cygnus.com:/pub/egcs/infrastructure until
+a new version of dejagnu can be released.
+
+<p>Assuming you've got the testsuites unpacked and have installed an appropriate
+dejagnu, you can run the testsuite with "cd <i>objdir</i>; make -k check".
+This may take a long time. Go get some lunch.

-have donated money from the sales of their book.
-
-Infomagic has continued to make sizable donations to the FSF.
-
-At the request of author Arnold Robbins, Specialized Systems Consultants, Inc.
-continues to donate 3% of their profits from selling `Effective AWK
-Programming'. We would also like to acknowledge the many SSC authors who
-have donated their royalties and fees to the FSF.
-
-In the long run, the success of free software depends on how much new free
-software people develop. Free software distribution offers an opportunity to
-raise funds for such development in an ethical way. These redistributors
-have made use of the opportunity. Many others let it go to waste.
-
-You can help promote free software development by convincing for-a-fee
-redistributors to contribute--either by doing development themselves or by
-donating to development organizations (the FSF and others).
-
-The way to convince distributors to contribute is to demand and expect this
-of them. This means choosing among distributors partly by how much they give
-to free software development. Then you can show distributors they must
-compete to be the one who gives the most.
-
-To make this work, you must insist on numbers that you can compare, such as,
-"We will give ten dollars to the Foobar project for each disk sold." A vague
-commitment, such as "A portion of the profits is donated," doesn't give you a
-basis for comparison. Even a precise fraction "of the profits from this
-disk" is not very meaningful, since creative accounting and unrelated
-business decisions can greatly alter what fraction of the sales price counts
-as profit.
-
-Also, press developers for firm information about what kind of development
-they do or support. Some kinds make much more long-term difference than
-others. For example, maintaining a separate version of a GNU program
-contributes very little; maintaining a program on behalf of the GNU Project
-contributes much. Easy new ports contribute little, since someone else would
-surely do them; difficult ports such as adding a new CPU to the GNU compiler
-or Mach contribute more; major new features & programs contribute the most.
-
-By establishing the idea that supporting further development is "the proper
-thing to do" when distributing free software for a fee, we can assure a
-steady flow of resources for making more free software.
-
-
-
-Help from Free Software Companies
-*********************************
-
-When choosing a free software business, ask those you are considering how
-much they do to assist free software development, e.g., by contributing money
-to free software development or by writing free software improvements
-themselves for general use. By basing your decision partially on this
-factor, you can help encourage those who profit from free software to
-contribute to its growth.

-
-Major Changes in GNU Software and Documentation
-***********************************************
-
- * Hurd Progress (Also *note What Is the Hurd::.)
-
- We have made three test releases of the Hurd, the most recent being 0.2.
- The Hurd is currently much more reliable than previously, and various
- utilities and file system translators, such as an FTP file system, have
- been written that take advantage of the Hurd's unique design.
-
- One way for people to help out is to compile and run as much third-party
- free software as they can; in this way we can find bugs and deficiencies
- with some rapidity. Volunteers with a PC are therefore eagerly sought to
- get the 0.2 release and compile their favorite Unix programs and games.
-
- Daily snapshots of the Hurd sources are now available for those that
- want to see the latest (non-stable) version; see the Hurd page on the
- FSF Web site, `http://www.gnu.ai.mit.edu', for more information.
-
- * New Source Code CD! (*note July 1997 Source Code CD-ROMs::.)
-
- We are releasing the July 1997 (Edition 10) Source Code CD-ROM this
- month. Once again, it is a two disk set. It includes several new
- packages: `aegis', `cook', `guavac', `lesstif', `prcs', `rsync', `swarm',
- & `vera'. On the CD-ROMs are full distributions of X11R6.3,,
- Emacs, GCC, and current versions of all other GNU Software. *Note GNU
- Software::, for more about these packages.
-
- * New/Updated Manuals since Last Bulletin (*note Documentation::.)
-
- Since the last bulletin, we have published several updated editions of
- our manuals (note the price changes): `GNU Emacs Manual', revised for
- GNU Emacs version 20, now $30; & `Texinfo Manual', for version 3.11 of
- Texinfo, now $25. We hope to have the following available very soon:
- `GNU Tar manual', first time in print, freshly reorganized and
- rewritten, $20; `GNU Software for MS-Windows and MS-DOS', a book and
- CD-ROM set with a variety of GNU software compiled for MS-DOS and
- Windows 3.1/95/97/NT, $35 ($140 for corporate orders). Watch our Web
- site, `http://www.gnu.ai.mit.edu', for announcements of these
- publications.
-
- * Fonts freed
-
- A free commercial-quality set of the basic 35 Postscript Type 1 fonts is
- now finally available. The copyright holder of these fonts, URW++
- Design and Development Incorporated, has decided to release them under
- the GPL. Each font includes `.pfb' (outlines), `.afm' (metrics), and
- `.pfm' (Windows printer metrics) files. The fonts are compatible with
- Adobe Type Manager and with general Type 1 manipulation tools, as well
- as with Ghostscript and other Postscript language interpreters.
-
- The fonts are available in `ghostscript-fonts-4.0.tar.gz' on the usual
- FTP sites.
-
- * DDD now works with LessTif (Also *note GNU Software::.) Release 2.1.1
- of DDD, the Data Display Debugger, now works with LessTif, a free Motif
- clone.
-
- * Give to GNU the United Way!
-
- As a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization, the FSF is eligible to receive
- United Way funds. When donating to United Way, one can specify that all
- or part of the donation be directed to the FSF. On the donor form,
- check the "Specific Requests" box and include the sentence, "Send my
- gift to the Free Software Foundation, 59 Temple Place, Suite 330,
- Boston, MA 02111." We especially appreciate the donations from Microsoft
- matching the United Way donations of their employees. Also see *Note
- Donations Translate Into Free Software::, and *Note Cygnus Matches
- Donations!::.
-
- * Tapes and MS-DOS Diskettes No Longer Available from the FSF
-
- We no longer offer tapes or MS-DOS diskettes due to very low demand.
-
- * GNU Software Works on MS-DOS (Also *note GNU Software::.)
-
- GNU Emacs 19 and many other GNU programs have been ported to MS-DOS for
- i386/i486/Pentium machines. We ship binaries & sources on the *Note
- Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM::.
-
- * The FSF Takes Discover
-
- The Free Software Foundation now accepts the Discover card for orders or
- donations. We also accept the following: Carte Blanche, Diner's Club,
- JCB, MasterCard, Visa, and American Express. Note that we are charged
- about 5% of an order's total amount in credit card processing fees;
- please consider paying by check instead or adding on a 5% donation to
- make up the difference. We do *not* recommend that you send credit card
- numbers to us via email, since we have no way of insuring that the
- information will remain confidential.
-
- * MULE Merge Complete
-
- MULE is the Multi-Lingual Emacs developed by Ken'ichi Handa at the
- Electrotechnical Lab in Tsukuba, Japan. This code has been merged into
- Emacs and is included in Emacs 20.
-
- * GPC, the GNU Pascal Compiler
-
- The GNU Pascal Compiler (GPC) is part of the GNU compiler family, GNU CC
- or GCC. It combines a Pascal front end with the proven GNU compiler
- backend for code generation and optimization. Unlike utilities such as
- p2c, this is a true compiler, not just a converter.
-
- Version 2.0 of GPC corresponds to GCC version 2.7.2.1.
-
- The purpose of the GNU Pascal project is to produce a compiler which:
- * combines the clarity of Pascal with powerful tools suitable for
- real-life programming,
-
- * supports both the Pascal standard and the Extended Pascal standard
- as defined by ISO, ANSI and IEEE. (ISO 7185:1990, ISO/IEC
- 10206:1991, ANSI/IEEE 770X3.160-1989)
-
- * supports other Pascal standards (UCSD Pascal, Borland Pascal,
- Pascal-SC) in so far as this serves the goal of clarity and
- usability,
-
- * can generate code for and run on any computer for which the GNU C
- Compiler can generate code and run on.
-
- The current release (2.0) implements Standard Pascal (ISO 7185, level 0)
- and a large subset of Extended Pascal (ISO 10206) and Borland Pascal.
-
- The upcoming release 2.1 features better conformance to the various
- Pascal standards, and of course bug fixes.
-
- A growing group of GPC enthusiasts contributes to the project with code,
- bug reports or fixes.
-
- `http://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/~gnu-pascal/', also known as
- `http://home.pages.de/~gnu-pascal/', is the GNU Pascal home page;
- sources may be downloaded from `ftp://kampi.hut.fi/jtv/gnu-pascal/'
- (official) or `ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/pub/gnu-pascal/'
- (development versions).
-
- * GUILE
-
- GUILE 1.2 is released. GNU's Ubiquitous Intelligent Language for
- Extension is an SCM-based library that can make any ordinary C program
- extensible. (For SCM info, see "JACAL" in *Note GNU Software::.)
- Nightly snapshots of the development sources are also available, in
- `ftp://ftp.red-bean.com/pub/guile/guile-core-snap.tar.gz'.
-
- Also being developed are SCSH-compatible system call & Tk interfaces, a
- module system, dynamic linking support, & a byte-code interpreter.
- Support for Emacs Lisp & a more C-like language is coming.
-
- * A New FSF T-shirt!
-
- We have a new T-shirt design. *Note FSF T-shirt::, for the description.
-
- * New free game
-
- In August 1995, the action game Abuse by Jonathan Clark was released for
- the first time. It wasn't free software then--but now, less than two
- years later, the company Crack dot Com has rereleased it as free
- software. Abuse was initially developed on Linux-based GNU systems, and
- we've included it on our our source CD set.
-
- Beyond providing the free software community with a game that many
- people enjoy, and code that could be useful for developing other free
- games, this demonstrates an important fact about the economic
- circumstances of computer game development: most non-free games bring
- their profit in a very short period of time. Therefore, a game company
- can turn a game into free software fairly soon, with little hardship.
-
- Let's hope that other game developers follow this example.
-
-
-
-The Deluxe Distribution
-***********************
-
-The Free Software Foundation has been asked repeatedly to create a package
-that provides executables for all of our software. Normally we offer only
-sources. The Deluxe Distribution provides binaries with the source code and
-includes six T-shirts, all our CD-ROMs, printed manuals, & reference cards.
-
-The FSF Deluxe Distribution contains the binaries and sources to hundreds of
-different programs including Emacs, the GNU C/C++ Compiler, the GNU Debugger,
-the complete X Window System, and all the GNU utilities.
-
-We will make a Deluxe Distribution for most machines/operating systems. We
-may be able to send someone to your office to do the compilation, if we can't
-find a suitable machine here. However, we can only compile the programs that
-already support your chosen machine/system - porting is a separate matter.
-(To commission a port, see the GNU Service Directory; details in *Note Free
-Software Support::.) Compiling all these programs takes time; a Deluxe
-Distribution for an unusual machine will take longer to produce than one for
-a common machine. Please contact the FSF Office with any questions.
-
-We supply the software on a write-once CD-ROM (in ISO 9660 format with "Rock
-Ridge" extensions), or on one of these tapes in Unix `tar' format: 1600 or
-6250bpi 1/2in reel, Sun DC300XLP 1/4in cartridge - QIC24, IBM RS/6000 1/4in
-c.t. - QIC 150, Exabyte 8mm c.t., or DAT 4mm c.t. If your computer cannot
-read any of these, please contact us to see if we can handle your format.
-
-The manuals included are one each of `Bison', `Calc', `GAWK', `GCC', `GNU C
-Library', `GDB', `Flex', `GNU Emacs Lisp Reference', `Programming in Emacs
-Lisp: An Introduction', `Make', `Texinfo', & `Termcap' manuals; six copies of
-the `GNU Emacs' manual; and ten reference cards each for Emacs, Bison, Calc,
-Flex, & GDB.
-
-Every Deluxe Distribution also has a copy of the latest editions of our
-CD-ROMs that have sources of our software & compiler tool binaries for some
-systems. The CDs are in ISO 9660 format with Rock Ridge extensions.
-
-The price of the Deluxe Distribution is $5000 (shipping included). These
-sales provide enormous financial assistance to help the FSF develop more free
-software. To order, please fill out the "Deluxe Distribution" section on the
-*note Free Software Foundation Order Form::. and send it to:

-GNU Documentation
-*****************
-
-GNU is dedicated to having quality, easy-to-use online & printed
-documentation. GNU manuals are intended to explain underlying concepts,
-describe how to use all the features of each program, & give examples of
-command use. GNU manuals are distributed as Texinfo source files, which
-yield both typeset hardcopy via the TeX document formatting system and online
-hypertext display via the menu-driven Info system. Source for these manuals
-comes with our software; here are the manuals that we publish as printed
-books. *Note Free Software Foundation Order Form::, to order them.
-
-Most GNU manuals are bound as soft cover books with "lay-flat" bindings.
-This allows you to open them so they lie flat on a table without creasing the
-binding. They have an inner cloth spine and an outer cardboard cover that
-will not break or crease as an ordinary paperback will. Currently, the
-`Using and Porting GNU CC', `GDB', `Emacs', `Emacs Lisp Reference',
-`Programming in Emacs Lisp: An Introduction', `GNU Awk User's Guide', `Make',
-& `Bison' manuals have this binding. Our other manuals also lie flat when
-opened, using a GBC binding. Our manuals are 7in by 9.25in except the 8.5in
-by 11in `Calc' manual.
-
-The edition number of the manual and version number of the program listed
-after each manual's name were current at the time this Bulletin was published.
-
-`Debugging with GDB' (for Version 4.16) tells how to run your program under
-GNU Debugger control, examine and alter data, modify a program's flow of
-control, and use GDB through GNU Emacs.
-
-The `GNU Emacs Manual' (13th Edition for Version 20) describes editing with
-GNU Emacs. It explains advanced features, including international character
-sets; outline mode and regular expression search; how to use special
-programming modes to write languages like C++ and TeX; how to use the `tags'
-utility; how to compile and correct code; how to make your own keybindings;
-and other elementary customizations.
-
-`Programming in Emacs Lisp: An Introduction' (October 1995 Edition 1.04) is
-for people who are not necessarily interested in programming, but who do want
-to customize or extend their computing environment. If you read it in Emacs
-under Info mode, you can run the sample programs directly.
-
-`The GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual' (Edition 2.4 for Version 19.29) and
-`The GNU Emacs Lisp Reference, Japanese Edition' (Japanese Draft Revision
-1.0, from English Edition 2.4 for Version 19.29) cover this programming
-language in depth, including data types, control structures, functions,
-macros, syntax tables, searching/matching, modes, windows, keymaps, byte
-compilation, and the operating system interface.
-
-`The GNU Awk User's Guide' (Edition 1.0 for Version 3.0) tells how to use
-`gawk'. It is written for those who have never used `awk' and describes
-features of this powerful string and record manipulation language. It
-clearly delineates those features which are part of POSIX `awk' from `gawk'
-extensions, providing a comprehensive guide to `awk' program portability.
-
-`GNU Make' (Edition 0.51 for Version 3.76 Beta) describes GNU `make', a
-program used to rebuild parts of other programs. The manual tells how to
-write "makefiles", which specify how a program is to be compiled and how its
-files depend on each other. Included are an introductory chapter for novice
-users and a section about automatically generated dependencies.
-
-The `Flex' manual (Edition 1.03 for Version 2.3.7) teaches you to write a
-lexical scanner definition for the `flex' program to create a C++ or C-coded
-scanner that recognizes the patterns defined. You need no prior knowledge of
-scanners.
-
-`The Bison Manual' (November 1995 Edition for Version 1.25) teaches you how
-to write context-free grammars for the Bison program that convert into
-C-coded parsers. You need no prior knowledge of parser generators.
-
-`Using and Porting GNU CC' (November 1995 Edition for Version 2.7.2) tells
-how to run, install, and port the GNU C Compiler to new systems. It lists
-new features and incompatibilities of GCC, but people not familiar with C
-will still need a good reference on the C programming language. It also
-covers G++.
-
-The `Texinfo' manual (Edition 2.24 for Version 3) explains the markup
-language that produces our online Info documentation & typeset hardcopies.
-It tells you how to make tables, lists, chapters, nodes, accented & special
-characters, indexes, cross references, & how to catch mistakes.
-
-`The Termcap Manual' (3rd Edition for Version 1.3), often described as "twice
-as much as you ever wanted to know about termcap," details the format of the
-termcap database, the definitions of terminal capabilities, and the process
-of interrogating a terminal description. This manual is primarily for
-programmers.
-
-The `C Library Reference Manual' (Edition 0.08 for Version 2.0) describes the
-library's facilities, including both what Unix calls "library functions" &
-"system calls." We are doing small copier runs of this manual until it
-becomes more stable. Please send fixes to `bug-glibc-manual@prep.ai.mit.edu'.
-
-The `Emacs Calc Manual' (for Version 2.02) is both a tutorial and a reference
-manual. It tells how to do ordinary arithmetic, how to use Calc for algebra,
-calculus, and other forms of mathematics, and how to extend Calc.
-
-
-
-GNU Software
-************
-
-All our software is available via FTP; see *Note How to Get GNU Software::.
-We also offer *Note CD-ROMs::, and printed *Note Documentation::, which
-includes manuals and reference cards. In the articles describing the
-contents of each medium, the version number listed after each program name
-was current when we published this Bulletin. When you order a newer CD-ROM,
-some of the programs may be newer and therefore the version number higher.
-*Note Free Software Foundation Order Form::, for ordering information.
-
-Some of the contents of our FTP distributions are compressed. We have
-software on our FTP sites to uncompress these files. Due to patent troubles
-with `compress', we use another compression program, `gzip'.
-
-You may need to build GNU `make' before you build our other software. Some
-vendors supply no `make' utility at all and some native `make' programs lack
-the `VPATH' feature essential for using the GNU configure system to its full
-extent. The GNU `make' sources have a shell script to build `make' itself on
-such systems.
-
-We welcome all bug reports and enhancements sent to the appropriate
-electronic mailing list (*note Free Software Support::.).
-
-
-
-Configuring GNU Software
-------------------------
-
-We are using Autoconf, a uniform scheme for configuring GNU software packages
-in order to compile them (see "Autoconf" and "Automake" below, in this
-article). The goal is to have all GNU software support the same alternatives
-for naming machine and system types.
-
-Ultimately, it will be possible to configure and build the entire system all
-at once, eliminating the need to configure each individual package separately.
-
-You can also specify both the host and target system to build
-cross-compilation tools. Most GNU programs now use Autoconf-generated
-configure scripts.
-
-
-
-GNU Software Now Available
---------------------------
-
-For future programs and features, see *Note Forthcoming GNUs::.
-
-Key to cross reference:
-
- BinCD January 1997 Binaries CD-ROM
- SrcCD July 1997 Source CD-ROMs
-
-[FSFman] shows that we sell a manual for that package. [FSFrc] shows we sell
-a reference card for that package. To order them, *Note Free Software
-Foundation Order Form::. *Note Documentation::, for more information on the
-manuals. Source code for each manual or reference card is included with each
-package.
-
- * `abuse' *Also *note GNUs Flashes::.* (SrcCD)
-
- The recently-freed program `abuse' is a dark, side-scrolling game with
- Robotron-esque controls: you control your movement with the keyboard and
- fire & aim with the mouse. You can get more info at
- `http://crack.com/games/abuse'.
-
- * acct (SrcCD)
-
- acct is a system accounting package. It includes the programs `ac'
- (summariize login accounting), `accton' (turn accounting on or off),
- `last' (show who has logged in recently), `lastcomm' (show which
- commands have been used), `sa' (summarize process accounting),
- `dump-utmp' (print a `utmp' file in human-readable format), &
- `dump-acct' (print an `acct' or `pacct' file in human-readable format).
-
- * `acm' (SrcCD)
-
- `acm' is a LAN-oriented, multiplayer, aerial combat simulation that runs
- under the X Window System. Players engage in air to air combat against
- one another using heat seeking missiles and cannons. We are working on
- a more accurate simulation of real airplane flight characteristics.
-
- * aegis (SrcCD)
-
- Aegis is a transaction-based software configuration management system.
- It provides a framework within which a team of developers may work on
- many changes to a program concurrently, and Aegis coordinates
- integrating these changes back into the master source of the program,
- with as little disruption as possible.
-
- * Apache *Also see* `http://www.apache.org/' (SrcCD)
-
- Apache is an HTTP server designed as a successor to the NCSA family of
- Web servers. It adds a significant amount of new functionality, has an
- extensive API for modular enhancements, is extremely flexible without
- compromising speed, and has an active development group and user
- community.
-
- * Autoconf (SrcCD)
-
- Autoconf produces shell scripts which automatically configure source code
- packages. These scripts adapt the packages to many kinds of Unix-like
- systems without manual user intervention. Autoconf creates a script for
- a package from a template file which lists the operating system features
- which the package can use, in the form of `m4' macro calls. Autoconf
- requires GNU `m4' to operate, but the resulting configure scripts it
- generates do not.
-
- * Automake (SrcCD)
-
- Automake is a tool for generating `Makefile.in' files for use with
- Autoconf. The generated makefiles are compliant with GNU Makefile
- standards.
-
- * BASH (SrcCD)
-
- GNU's shell, BASH (Bourne Again SHell), is compatible with the Unix `sh'
- and offers many extensions found in `csh' and `ksh'. BASH has job
- control, `csh'-style command history, command-line editing (with Emacs
- and `vi' modes built-in), and the ability to rebind keys via the
- `readline' library. BASH conforms to the POSIX 1003.2-1992 standard.
-
- * bc (SrcCD)
-
- `bc' is an interactive algebraic language with arbitrary precision
- numbers. GNU `bc' follows the POSIX 1003.2-1992 standard with several
- extensions, including multi-character variable names, an `else'
- statement, and full Boolean expressions. The RPN calculator `dc' is now
- distributed as part of the same package, but GNU `bc' is not implemented
- as a `dc' preprocessor.
-
- * BFD (BinCD, SrcCD)
-
- The Binary File Descriptor library allows a program which operates on
- object files (e.g., `ld' or GDB) to support many different formats in a
- clean way. BFD provides a portable interface, so that only BFD needs to
- know the details of a particular format. One result is that all
- programs using BFD will support formats such as a.out, COFF, and ELF.
- BFD comes with Texinfo source for a manual (not yet published on paper).
-
- At present, BFD is not distributed separately; it is included with
- packages that use it.
-
- * Binutils (BinCD, SrcCD)
-
- Binutils includes these programs: `addr2line', `ar', `c++filt', `gas',
- `gprof', `ld', `nm', `objcopy', `objdump', `ranlib', `size', `strings', &
- `strip'.
-
- Binutils version 2 uses the BFD library. The GNU assembler, `gas',
- supports the a29k, Alpha, ARM, D10V, H8/300, H8/500, HP-PA, i386, i960,
- M32R, m68k, m88k, MIPS, Matsushita 10200 and 10300, NS32K, PowerPC,
- RS/6000, SH, SPARC, Tahoe, Vax, and Z8000 CPUs, and attempts to be
- compatible with many other assemblers for Unix and embedded systems. It
- can produce mixed C and assembly listings, and includes a macro facility
- similar to that in some other assemblers. GNU's linker, `ld', supports
- shared libraries on many systems, emits source-line numbered error
- messages for multiply-defined symbols and undefined references, and
- interprets a superset of AT&T's Linker Command Language, which gives
- control over where segments are placed in memory. `objdump' can
- disassemble code for most of the CPUs listed above, and can display
- other data (e.g., symbols and relocations) from any file format read by
- BFD.
-
- * Bison (BinCD, SrcCD) [FSFman, FSFrc]
-
- Bison is an upwardly compatible replacement for the parser generator
- `yacc'. Texinfo source for the `Bison Manual' and reference card are
- included.
-
- * C Library (`glibc') (BinCD, SrcCD) [FSFman]
-
- The GNU C library supports ISO C-1989, ISO C/amendment 1-1995, POSIX
- 1003.1-1990, POSIX 1003.1b-1993, POSIX 1003.1c-1995 (when the underlying
- system permits), & most of the functions in POSIX 1003.2-1992. It is
- nearly compliant with the extended XPG4.2 specification which guarantees
- upward compatibility with 4.4BSD & many System V functions.
-
- When used with the GNU Hurd, the C Library performs many functions of the
- Unix system calls directly. Mike Haertel has written a fast `malloc'
- which wastes less memory than the old GNU version.
-
- GNU `stdio' lets you define new kinds of streams, just by writing a few
- C functions. Two methods for handling translated messages help writing
- internationalized programs & the user can adopt the environment the
- program runs in to conform with local conventions. Extended `getopt'
- functions are already used to parse options, including long options, in
- many GNU utilities. The name lookup functions now are modularized which
- makes it easier to select the service which is needed for the specific
- database & the document interface makes it easy to add new services.
- Texinfo source for the `GNU C Library Reference Manual' is included
- (*note Documentation::.).
-
- Previous versions of the GNU C library ran on a large number of systems.
- The architecture-dependent parts of the C library have not been updated
- since development on version 2.0 started, so today it runs out of the
- box only on GNU/Hurd (all platforms GNU/Hurd also runs on) & GNU/Linux
- (ix86, Alpha, m68k, MIPS, Sparc, PowerPC; work is in progress for ARM).
- Other architectures will become available again as soon as somebody does
- the port.
-
- * C++ Library (`libg++') (BinCD, SrcCD)
-
- The GNU C++ library (traditionally called `libg++') includes libstdc++,
- which implements the library facilities defined by the forthcoming ISO
- C++ standard. This includes strings, iostream, and various container
- classes. All of this is templatized.
-
- The package also contains the older libg++ library for backward
- compatibility, but new programs should avoid using it.
-
- * Calc (SrcCD) [FSFman, FSFrc]
-
- Calc (written by Dave Gillespie in Emacs Lisp) is an extensible, advanced
- desk calculator & mathematical tool that runs as part of GNU Emacs. You
- can use Calc as a simple four-function calculator, but it has many more
- features including: choice of algebraic or RPN (stack-based) entry;
- logarithmic, trigonometric, & financial functions; arbitrary precision;
- complex numbers; vectors; matrices; dates; times; infinities; sets;
- algebraic simplification; & differentiation & integration. It outputs
- to `gnuplot', & comes with source for a manual & reference card (*note
- Documentation::.).
-
- * `cfengine' (SrcCD)
-
- `cfengine' is used to maintain site-wide configuration of a
- heterogeneous Unix network using a simple high level language. Its
- appearance is similar to `rdist', but allows many more operations to be
- performed automatically. See Mark Burgess, "A Site Configuration
- Engine", `Computing Systems', Vol. 8, No. 3 (ask `office@usenix.org' how
- to get a copy).
-
- * Chess (SrcCD)
-
- GNU Chess enables you to play a game of chess with a computer instead of
- a person. It is useful to practice with when there are significant
- spare cpu cycles and a real person is unavailable.
-
- The program offers a plain terminal interface, one using curses, and a
- reasonable X Windows interface `xboard'. Best results are obtained by
- compiling with GNU C.
-
- Improvements this past year are in the Windows-compatible version,
- mostly bugfixes.
-
- Stuart Cracraft started the GNU mascot back in the mid-1980's. John
- Stanback (and innumerable contributors) are responsible for GNU's brain
- development and its fair play. Acknowledgements for the past year's
- work are due Conor McCarthy.

-
- * CLISP (SrcCD)
-
- CLISP is a Common Lisp implementation by Bruno Haible & Michael Stoll.
- It mostly supports the Lisp described by `Common LISP: The Language (2nd
- edition)' & the ANSI Common Lisp standard. CLISP includes an
- interpreter, a byte-compiler, a large subset of CLOS & a foreign language
- interface. The user interface language (English, German, French) can be
- chosen at run time. An X11 API is available through CLX & Garnet.
- CLISP needs only 2 MB of memory & runs on all kinds of Unix systems & on
- many microcomputers (including MS-DOS systems, OS/2, Windows NT, Windows
- 95, Amiga 500-4000, & Acorn RISC PC). See also item "Common Lisp",
- which describes GCL, a complete Common Lisp implementation with compiler.
-
- * CLX (SrcCD)
-
- CLX is an X Window interface library for GCL. This is separate from the
- built-in TK interface.
-
- * Common Lisp (`gcl') (SrcCD)
-
- GNU Common Lisp (GCL, formerly known as Kyoto Common Lisp) is a compiler
- & interpreter for Common Lisp. GCL is very portable & extremely
- efficient on a wide class of applications, & compares favorably in
- performance with commercial Lisps on several large theorem-prover &
- symbolic algebra systems. GCL supports the CLtL1 specification but is
- moving towards the proposed ANSI standard.
-
- GCL compiles to C & then uses the native optimizing C compiler (e.g.,
- GCC). A function with a fixed number of args & one value turns into a C
- function of the same number of args, returning one value--so GCL is
- maximally efficient on such calls. Its conservative garbage collector
- gives great freedom to the C compiler to put Lisp values in registers.
- It has a source level Lisp debugger for interpreted code & displays
- source code in an Emacs window. Its profiler (based on the C profiling
- tools) counts function calls & the time spent in each function.
-
- There is now a built-in interface to the Tk widget system. It runs in a
- separate process, so users may monitor progress on Lisp computations or
- interact with running computations via a windowing interface.
-
- There is also an Xlib interface via C (xgcl-2). CLX runs with GCL, as
- does PCL (see "PCL" later in this article).
-
- GCL version 2.2.2 is released under the GNU Library General Public
- License.
-
- * cook (SrcCD)
-
- Cook is a tool for constructing files, and maintaining referential
- integrity between files. It is given a set of files to create, and
- recipes of how to create and maintain them. In any non-trivial program
- there will be prerequisites to performing the actions necessary to
- creating any file, such as include files. The `cook' program provides a
- mechanism to define these.
-
- Some features which distinguish Cook include a strong procedural
- description language, and fingerprints to supplement file modification
- time stamps. There is also a `make2cook' utility included to ease
- transition.
-
- * `cpio' (SrcCD)
-
- `cpio' is an archive program with all the features of SVR4 `cpio',

- program to position magnetic tapes, is included with `cpio'.
-
- * CVS (SrcCD)
-
- CVS is a version control system (like RCS or SCCS) which allows you to
- keep old versions of files (usually source code), keep a log of who,
- when, and why changes occurred, etc. It handles multiple developers,
- multiple directories, triggers to enable/log/control various operations,
- and can work over a wide area network. It does not handle build
- management or bug-tracking; these are handled by `make' and GNATS,
- respectively.
-
- * `cxref' (SrcCD)
-
- `cxref' is a program that will produce documentation (in LaTeX or HTML)
- including cross-references from C program source code. It has been
- designed to work with ANSI C, incorporating K&R, and most popular GNU
- extensions. The documentation for the subject program is produced from
- comments in the code that are appropriately formatted. The cross
- referencing comes from the code itself and requires no extra work.
-
- * DDD (SrcCD)
-
- The Data Display Debugger (DDD) is a common graphical user interface to
- GDB, DBX, and XDB, the popular Unix debuggers. DDD provides a graphical
- data display where complex data structures can be explored incrementally
- and interactively. DDD has been designed to compete with well-known
- commercial debuggers; as of release 2.1.1, DDD also compiles and runs
- with LessTif, a free Motif clone, without loss of functionality. For
- more details, see the DDD WWW page at
- `http://www.cs.tu-bs.de/softech/ddd/'.
-
- * DejaGnu (SrcCD)
-
- DejaGnu is a framework to test programs with a single front end for all
- tests. DejaGnu's flexibility & consistency makes it easy to write tests.
- DejaGnu will also work with remote hosts and embedded systems.
-
- DejaGnu comes with `expect', which runs scripts to conduct dialogs with
- programs.
-
- * Diffutils (SrcCD)
-
- GNU `diff' compares files showing line-by-line changes in several
- flexible formats. It is much faster than traditional Unix versions. The
- Diffutils package has `diff', `diff3', `sdiff', & `cmp'. Future plans
- include support for internationalization (e.g., error messages in
- Chinese) & some non-Unix PC environments, & a library interface that can
- be used by other free software.
-
- * DJGPP *Also see "GCC" below* (BinCD)
-
- DJ Delorie has ported GCC/G++ to i386s running DOS. DJGPP has a 32-bit
- i386 DOS extender with a symbolic debugger, development libraries, &
- ports of Bison, `flex', & Binutils. Full source code is provided. It
- needs at least 5MB of hard disk space to install & 512K of RAM to use.
- It supports SVGA (up to 1024x768), XMS & VDISK memory allocation,
- `himem.sys', VCPI (e.g., QEMM, DESQview, & 386MAX), & DPMI (e.g.,
- Windows 3.x, OS/2, QEMM, & QDPMI). Version 2 was released in Feb. 1996,
- & needs a DPMI environment; a free DPMI server is included.
-
- WWW at `http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/' or FTP from `ftp.simtel.net' in
- `/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/' (or a SimTel mirror site).

- Ask `listserv@delorie.com', to join a DJGPP users mailing list.
-
- * `dld' (SrcCD)
-
- `dld' is a dynamic linker written by W. Wilson Ho. Linking your program
- with the `dld' library allows you to dynamically load object files into
- the running binary. `dld' supports a.out object types on the following
- platforms: Convex C-Series (BSD), i386/i486/Pentium (GNU/Linux), Sequent
- Symmetry i386 (Dynix 3), Sun-3 (SunOS 3 & 4), Sun-4 (SunOS 4), & VAX
- (Ultrix).
-
- * `doschk' (SrcCD)

- interactively or in scripts.
-
- * Elib (SrcCD)
-
- Elib is a small library of Emacs Lisp functions, including routines for
- using AVL trees and doubly-linked lists.
-
- * Elisp archive (SrcCD)
-
- This is a snapshot of Ohio State's GNU Emacs Lisp FTP Archive. FTP it
- from `archive.cis.ohio-state.edu' in `/pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive'.
-
- * Emacs *Also *note GNUs Flashes::.* [FSFman(s), FSFrc]
-
- In 1975, Richard Stallman developed the first Emacs, an extensible,
- customizable real-time display editor & computing environment. GNU Emacs
- is his second implementation. It offers true Lisp--smoothly integrated
- into the editor--for writing extensions & provides an interface to the X
- Window System. It runs on Unix, MS-DOS, & Windows NT or 95. In
- addition to its powerful native command set, Emacs can emulate the
- editors vi & EDT (DEC's VMS editor). Emacs has many other features which
- make it a full computing support environment. Source for the `GNU Emacs
- Manual' & a reference card comes with the software. Sources for the
- `GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual', & `Programming in Emacs Lisp: An
- Introduction' are distributed in separate packages. *Note
- Documentation::.
-
- * Emacs 20 (SrcCD) [FSFman(s), FSFrc]
-
- Emacs 20.1 was just released recently. Its main new features include
- support for many languages and many character codes (the MULE facility)
- and a new convenient customization feature. The text-filling commands
- handle indented and bulleted paragraphs conveniently; there are new help
- facilities for looking up documentation about functions and symbols in
- various languages. A new method of file-locking works even when using
- NFS. Some dired commands have been made more systematic.
-
- We believe Emacs 20 operates on the same systems as Emacs 19, but we do
- not have confirmation for all of them.
-
- * Emacs 19 (SrcCD) [FSFman(s), FSFrc]
-
- Emacs 19 works with character-only terminals & with the X Window System
- (with or without an X toolkit). It also runs on MS-DOS, MS Windows, and

- distribute it for those using platforms which Emacs 19 does not support.
-
- * `enscript' (SrcCD)
-
- `enscript' is an upwardly-compatible replacement for the Adobe
- `enscript' program. It formats ASCII files (outputting in Postscript)
- and stores generated output to a file or sends it directly to the
- printer.
-
- * `es' (SrcCD)
-
- `es' is an extensible shell (based on `rc') with first-class functions,
- lexical scope, exceptions, and rich return values (i.e., functions can
- return values other than just numbers). `es''s extensibility comes from
- the ability to modify and extend the shell's built-in services, such as
- path searching and redirection. Like `rc', it is great for both
- interactive use and scripting, particularly since its quoting rules are
- much less baroque than the C and Bourne shells.
-
- * Exim (SrcCD)
-
- Exim is a new Internet mail transfer agent, similar in style to Smail 3.
- It can handle relatively high volume mail systems, header rewriting,
- control over which hosts/nets may use it as a relay, blocking of
- unwanted mail from specified hosts/nets/senders, and multiple local
- domains on one mail host ("virtual domains") with several options for
- the way these are handled.
-
- * `f2c' *Also see "Fortran" below & in *Note Forthcoming GNUs::.*
- (SrcCD)
-
- `f2c' converts Fortran-77 source into C or C++, which can be compiled
- with GCC or G++. Get bug fixes by FTP from site `netlib.bell-labs.com'
- or by email from `netlib@netlib.bell-labs.com'. For a summary, see the
- file `/netlib/f2c/readme.gz'.
-
- * `ffcall' (SrcCD)
-
- `ffcall' is a C library for implementing foreign function calls in
- embedded interpreters by Bill Triggs and Bruno Haible. It allows C
- functions with arbitrary argument lists and return types to be called or
- emulated (callbacks).
-
- * Fileutils (SrcCD)
-
- The Fileutils are: `chgrp', `chmod', `chown', `cp', `dd', `df', `dir',
- `dircolors', `du', `install', `ln', `ls', `mkdir', `mkfifo', `mknod',
- `mv', `rm', `rmdir', `sync', `touch', & `vdir'.
-
- * Findutils (SrcCD)
-
- `find' is frequently used both interactively and in shell scripts to
- find files which match certain criteria and perform arbitrary operations
- on them. Also included are `locate', which scans a database for file
- names that match a pattern, and `xargs', which applies a command to a
- list of files.
-
- * Finger (SrcCD)
-
- GNU Finger has more features than other finger programs. For sites with
- many hosts, a single host may be designated as the finger "server" host
- and other hosts at that site configured as finger "clients". The server
- host collects information about who is logged in on the clients. To
- finger a user at a GNU Finger site, a query to any of its client hosts
- gets useful information. GNU Finger supports many customization
- features, including user output filters and site-programmable output for
- special target names.
-
- * `flex' (BinCD, SrcCD) [FSFman, FSFrc]
-
- `flex' is a replacement for the `lex' scanner generator. `flex' was
- written by Vern Paxson of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and generates
- far more efficient scanners than `lex' does. Sources for the `Flex
- Manual' and reference card are included (*note Documentation::.).
-
- * Fontutils (SrcCD)
-
- The Fontutils convert between font formats, create fonts for use with
- Ghostscript or TeX (starting with a scanned type image & converting the
- bitmaps to outlines), etc. It includes: `bpltobzr', `bzrto',
- `charspace', `fontconvert', `gsrenderfont', `imageto', `imgrotate',
- `limn', & `xbfe'.
-
- * Fortran (`g77') *Also *note Forthcoming GNUs::.* (BinCD, SrcCD)
-
- GNU Fortran (`g77'), developed by Craig Burley, is available for public
- beta testing on the Internet. For now, `g77' produces code that is
- mostly object-compatible with `f2c' & uses the same run-time library
- (`libf2c').
-
- * `gawk' (SrcCD) [FSFman]
-
- `gawk' is upwardly compatible with the latest POSIX specification of
- `awk'. It also provides several useful extensions not found in other
- `awk' implementations. Texinfo source for the `The GNU Awk User's
- Guide' comes with the software (*note Documentation::.).
-
- * `gcal' (SrcCD)
-
- `gcal' is a program for printing calendars. It displays different
- styled calendar sheets, eternal holiday lists, and fixed date warning
- lists.
-
- * GCC (BinCD, SrcCD) [FSFman]
-
- Version 2 of the GNU C Compiler supports the languages C, C++, and
- Objective-C; the source file name suffix or a compiler option selects
- the language. (Also see "GNAT" later in this article for Ada language
- supports.) Objective-C support was donated by NeXT. The runtime support
- needed to run Objective-C programs is now distributed with GCC. (This
- does not include any Objective-C classes aside from `object', but see
- "GNUstep" in *Note Forthcoming GNUs::.) G++ seeks to be compliant with
- the ANSI C++ language standard. See
- `http://www.cygnus.com/misc/wp/index.html' for the latest draft.
-
- GCC is a fairly portable optimizing compiler which performs many
- optimizations. They include: automatic register allocation, common
- sub-expression elimination (CSE) (including a certain amount of CSE
- between basic blocks - though not all the supported machine descriptions
- provide for scheduling or delay slots), invariant code motion from
- loops, induction variable optimizations, constant propagation, copy
- propagation, delayed popping of function call arguments, tail recursion
- elimination, integration of inline functions & frame pointer elimination,
- instruction scheduling, loop unrolling, filling of delay slots, leaf
- function optimization, optimized multiplication by constants, the
- ability to assign attributes to instructions, & many local optimizations
- automatically deduced from the machine description.
-
- GCC can open-code most arithmetic on 64-bit values (type `long long
- int'). It supports extended floating point (type `long double') on the
- 68k; other machines will follow. GCC supports full ANSI C, traditional
- C, & GNU C extensions (including: nested functions support, nonlocal
- gotos, & taking the address of a label).
-
- GCC can generate a.out, COFF, ELF, & OSF-Rose files when used with a
- suitable assembler. It can produce debugging information in these
- formats: BSD stabs, COFF, ECOFF, ECOFF with stabs, & DWARF.
-
- GCC generates code for many CPUs, including the a29k, Alpha, ARM, AT&T,
- DSP1610, Clipper, Convex cN, Elxsi, Fujitsu Gmicro, i370, i860, i960,
- MIL-STD-1750a, MIPS, ns32k, PDP-11, Pyramid, ROMP, RS/6000, SH, SPUR,
- Tahoe, VAX, & we32k.
-
- Position-independent code is generated for the Clipper, Hitachi H8/300,
- HP-PA (1.0 & 1.1), i386/i486/Pentium, m68k, m88k, SPARC, & SPARClite.
-
- Operating systems supported include: GNU/Hurd, GNU/Linux, ACIS, AIX, AOS,
- BSD, Clix, Concentrix, Ctix, DG/UX, Dynix, FreeBSD, Genix, HP-UX, Irix,
- ISC, Luna, LynxOS, Minix, NetBSD, NewsOS, NeXTStep, OS/2, OSF, OSF-Rose,
- RISCOS, SCO, Solaris 2, SunOS 4, System/370, SysV, Ultrix, Unos, VMS, &
- Windows/NT.
-
- Using the configuration scheme for GCC, building a cross-compiler is as
- easy as building a native compiler.
-
- Texinfo source for the `Using and Porting GNU CC' manual is included
- with GCC (*note Documentation::.).
-
- * GDB (BinCD, SrcCD) [FSFman, FSFrc]
-
- GDB, the GNU DeBugger, is a source-level debugger for C, C++, & Fortran.
- It provides partial support for Modula-2 & Chill.
-
- GDB can debug both C & C++, & will work with executables made by many
- different compilers; but, C++ debugging will have some limitations if
- you do not use GCC.
-
- GDB has a command line user interface, and Emacs has GDB mode as an
- interface. Two X interfaces (not distributed or maintained by the FSF)
- are: `gdbtk' (FTP it from `ftp.cygnus.com' in directory `/pub/gdb'); and
- `xxgdb' (FTP it from `ftp.x.org' in directory `/contrib/utilities').
-
- Executable files and symbol tables are read via the BFD library, which
- allows a single copy of GDB to debug programs with multiple object file
- formats (e.g., a.out, COFF, ELF). Other features include a rich command
- language, remote debugging over serial lines or TCP/IP, and watchpoints
- (breakpoints triggered when the value of an expression changes).
-
- GDB uses a standard remote interface to a simulator library which
- includes simulators for the ARM, Hitachi H8/300, Hitachi SH, & PowerPC.
-
- GDB can perform cross-debugging. To say that GDB "targets" a platform
- means it can perform native or cross-debugging for it. To say that GDB
- can "host" a given platform means that it can be built on it, but cannot
- necessarily debug native programs.
-
- GDB can:
-
- * "target" & "host": Amiga 3000 (AmigaOS, Amix, NetBSD), DEC Alpha
- (OSF/1), DECstation 3100 & 5000 (Ultrix), HP 9000/300 (BSD, HP-UX),

- counterparts).
-
- * Generic NQS (SrcCD)
-
- Generic NQS is a network queuing system for spreading batch jobs across a
- network of machines. It is designed to be simple to install on a
- heterogeneous network of machines, and has optimizations for running on

- market. It is available for many more Unix variants than any other
- comparable product, and inter-operates with other NQS systems, including
- Cray's NQE.
-
- * `geomview' *See* `http://www.geom.umn.edu/software/geomview' (SrcCD)
-
- `geomview' is an interactive geometry viewing program, for Unix systems
- with Motif, using X, GL, or OpenGL graphics. It allows multiple
- independently controllable objects and cameras. External programs may
- drive desired aspects of the viewer, e.g. loading changing geometry or
- controlling motion, while allowing interactive mouse-and-GUI control of
- everything else. Controllable features include motion, appearance
- (wireframe, shading, lighting and material properties), mouse-based
- selection, snapshoting (PPM or SGI image, Postscript, and RenderMan
- formats), display in hyperbolic and spherical spaces, and projection
- from higher dimensions. Includes converters to display Mathematica and
- Maple 3-D graphics, and limited conversion to/from VRML.
-
- * `gettext' *Also *note Help the Translation Project::.* (SrcCD)
-
- The GNU `gettext' tool set has everything maintainers need to
- internationalize a package's user messages. Once a package has been
- internationalized, `gettext''s many tools help translators localize
- messages to their native language and automate handling the translation
- files.
-
- * `gforth' (SrcCD)
-
- `gforth' is a fast, portable implementation of the ANS Forth language.
-
- * Ghostscript (SrcCD)

- them separate while making them appear (via symbolic links) to be
- installed in the same place. For example, Emacs can be installed in
- `/usr/local/stow/emacs' and Perl in `/usr/local/stow/perl', permitting
- each to be administered separately, while with `stow' they will both
- appear to be installed in `/usr/local'.
-
- * Superopt (SrcCD)
-
- Superopt is a function sequence generator that uses an exhaustive
- generate-and-test approach to find the shortest instruction sequence for

- a large variety of agent based models can be implemented.
-
- * `tar' (BinCD, SrcCD)
-
- GNU `tar' includes multi-volume support, the ability to archive sparse
- files, compression/decompression, remote archives, and special features
- that allow `tar' to be used for incremental and full backups. GNU `tar'

- process Texinfo files. For a complete TeX distribution, including both
- sources and precompiled binaries for many platforms, consider teTeX.
- This is available on CD-ROM (see `http://www.tug.org/texlive.html'), or
- by FTP. The FTP instructions change too frequently to include them here;
- see `ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/unixtex.ftp'.

- miles/gallon to km/liter. (It can only handle multiplicative scale
- changes, so it cannot convert Celsius to Fahrenheit though it could
- convert temperature differences between those temperatures scales.)
-
- * UUCP (SrcCD)
-
- GNU's UUCP system (written by Ian Lance Taylor) supports the `f', `g'
- (all window & packet sizes), `v', `G', `t', `e', Zmodem, & two new
- bidirectional (`i' & `j') protocols. With a BSD sockets library, it can
- make TCP connections. With TLI libraries, it can make TLI connections.

- bells and whistles you find on the Web today, including frames, tables,
- stylesheets, and much more. See
- `http://www.cs.indiana.edu/elisp/w3/docs.html'.
-
- * `wdiff' (SrcCD)
-
- `wdiff' is a front-end to GNU `diff'. It compares two files, finding
- the words deleted or added to the first to make the second. It has many
- output formats and works well with terminals and pagers. `wdiff' is
- very useful when two texts differ only by a few words and paragraphs
- have been refilled. Plans are to merge this package into `diffutils'.
-
- * `Wget' (SrcCD)
-
- `Wget' non-interactively retrieves files from the WWW using HTTP & FTP.
- It is suitable for use in shell scripts.

-
- * xmcd *Also see* `http://sunsite.unc.edu/~cddb/xmcd/' (SrcCD)
-
- `xmcd' is an X11-based CD player utility and `cda' is a command-line
- driven, non-graphical CD audio player. `xmcd' is developed to use the
- OSF/Motif API (version 1.1 and later) and can also be used with LessTif,
- the free Motif clone.
-
- In its evolution over the past few years, `xmcd' has established itself
- as the premier CD player application for the X window system with an
- attractive, easy-to-use user interface. It is feature-rich and runs on
- virtually all of the popular Unix and OpenVMS platforms. It also
- supports the widest array of CD-ROM and CD-R devices, including some
- older SCSI-1 drives that do not work with other CD player applications.
- The remote CD database query feature fully utilizes the Internet and
- taps on a vast repository of CD artists/titles, track titles and other
- information. Multi-disc changers are also supported.
-
- Like many other CD player applications, `xmcd' supports a CD database of
- disc and track titles and other information. A distinguishing feature
- of `xmcd' is the ability to connect to a remote CD database server to
- query this information. Many public Internet CD database servers have
- been established around the world for this purpose, and `xmcd' also
- allows the user to submit new CD entries to the master database.
-
- * `xshogi' (SrcCD)
-
- `xshogi' is a graphical Shogi (Japanese Chess) board for the X Window
- System. It can serve as a user interface to GNU Shogi, as a referee for
- games between two humans, or as a client for the Internet Shogi Server.
-
- * `Ygl' (SrcCD)
-
- `Ygl' emulates a subset of SGI's GL (Graphics Language) library under
- X11 on most platforms with an ANSI C compiler (including GCC). It has
- most two-dimensional graphics routines, the queue device & query
- routines, double buffering, RGB mode with dithering, Fortran bindings,
- etc.
-
- * zlibc (SrcCD)
-
- Zlibc is an uncompressing C library for GNU/Linux and SunOS systems. It
- is a preloadable shared object that allows executables to uncompress the
- datafiles that they need on the fly. No kernel patch, no recompilation
- of these executables and no recompilation of the libraries is needed;
- the package overrides the `open' function (and other system call
- functions) in the shared library.

-CD-ROMs
-*******
-
-We have two series of CD-ROMs: the Source Code CD-ROM, and the Compiler
-Tools Binaries CD-ROM.
-
-Our CDs are in ISO 9660 format & can be mounted as a read-only file system on
-most computers. If your driver supports it, you can mount each CD with "Rock
-Ridge" extensions & it will look like a regular Unix file system, rather than
-one full of truncated & otherwise mangled names that fit vanilla ISO 9660.
-
-You can build most of the software without copying the sources off the CD.
-You only need enough disk space for object files and intermediate build
-targets.
-
-
-
-Pricing of the GNU CD-ROMs
---------------------------
-
-If a business or organization is ultimately paying, the current GNU Source
-CD set costs $240. The set costs $60 if you, an individual, are paying out
-of your own pocket. The current Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM costs $220
-for a business or organization, and $55 for an individual.
-
-
-
-What Do the Different Prices Mean?
-..................................
-
-The software on our disks is free; anyone can copy it and anyone can run it.
-What we charge for is the physical disk and the service of distribution.
-
-We charge two different prices depending on who is buying. When a company
-or other organization buys the Source CD-ROMs, we charge $240. When an
-individual buys the same CD-ROMs, we charge just $60. This distinction is
-not a matter of who is allowed to use the software. In either case, once
-you have a copy, you can distribute as many copies as you wish and there's
-no restriction on who can have or run them. The price distinction is
-entirely a matter of what kind of entity pays for the CDs.
-
-You, the reader, are certainly an individual, not a company. If you are
-buying a disk "in person", then you are probably doing so as an individual.
-But if you expect to be reimbursed by your employer, then the disk is really
-for the company; so please pay the company price and get reimbursed for it.
-We won't try to check up on you--we use the honor system--so please cooperate.
-
-Buying CDs at the company price is very helpful for GNU; just
-150 Source CDs at that price support an FSF programmer or tech writer for a
-year.
-
-
-
-Why Is There an Individual Price?
-.................................
-
-In the past, our distribution tapes were ordered mainly by companies. The CD
-at the price of $240 provides them with all of our software for a much lower
-price than they would previously have paid for six different tapes. To lower
-the price more would cut into the FSF's funds very badly and decrease the
-software development we can do.
-
-However, for individuals, $240 is too high a price; hardly anyone could
-afford that. So we decided to make CDs available to individuals at the lower
-price of $60.
-
-
-
-Is There a Maximum Price?
-.........................
-
-Our stated prices are minimum prices. Feel free to pay a higher price if you
-wish to support GNU development more. The sky's the limit; we will accept as
-high a price as you can offer. Or simply give a donation (tax-deductible in
-the U.S.) to the Free Software Foundation, a tax-exempt public charity.
-
-
-
-January 1997 Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM
--------------------------------------------
-
-In January 1997 we released the fourth edition of our CD-ROM that has
-binaries and complete sources for GNU compiler tools for some systems which
-lack a compiler. This enables the people who use these systems to compile
-GNU and other free software without having to buy a proprietary compiler.
-You can also use these GNU tools to compile your own C/C++/Objective-C
-programs. Older editions of this CD are available while supplies last at a
-reduced price; *Note Free Software Foundation Order Form::.
-
-We hope to have more systems on each update of this CD. If you can help
-build binaries for new systems (especially those that don't come with a C
-compiler), or have one to suggest, please contact us at the addresses on page
-1.
-
-These packages:
-
- * DJGPP
- * GCC/G++/Objective-C
- * GNU C Library
- * GDB
- * Binutils
- * Bison
- * Emacs (MS-DOS only)
- * Flex
- * Make
- * libg++
-
-On these platforms:
-
- * `i386-msdos'
- * `hppa1.1-hp-hpux9'
- * `hppa1.1-hp-hpux10'
- * `powerpc-ibm-aix4.2'
- * `sparc-sun-solaris2.4'
- * `sparc-sun-solaris2.5'
- * `sparc-sun-sunos4.1'
-
-
-
-Source Code CD-ROMs
--------------------
-
-We have several versions of our Source Code CD-ROMs available, including:
-
- * July 1997 Source Code CD-ROMs, the newest release, has programs,
- bug fixes, & improvements. See below.
-
- * January 1997 Source Code CD-ROMs.
-
- * July 1996 Source Code CD-ROMss.
-
- * December 1995 Source Code CD-ROMs.
-
- * June 1995 Source Code CD-ROM.
-
- * May 1994 Source Code CD-ROM.
-
- * November 1993 Source Code CD-ROM.
-
- * May 1993 Source Code CD-ROM.
-
- * October 1992 Source Code CD-ROM.
-
-The older Source CDs are available while supplies last at a reduced price
-(please note that the December 1994 Source CD is permanently out of stock).
-All the Source CDs have Texinfo source for the GNU manuals listed in *Note
-Documentation::.
-
-Much of X11 is *not* on the older Source CDs which are just one CD
-instead of two.
-
-There are no precompiled programs on these Source CDs. You will need a C
-compiler (programs which need some other interpreter or compiler normally
-provide the C source for a bootstrapping program). We ship C compiler
-binaries for some systems on the *Note Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM::.
-
-
-
-July 1997 Source Code CD-ROMs
-.............................
-
-The 10th edition of our Source Code CD is available now with two CD-ROM disks.
-It has programs, bug fixes, & improvements not on the older Source CDs. It
-has these packages, & some manuals that are not part of packages. The
-version number of each package listed might be higher on the 10th edition CD
-due to new releases being made since this list was generated.

-CD-ROM Subscription Service
-***************************
-
-Our subscription service enables you to stay current with the latest GNU
-developments. For a one-time cost equivalent to three Source CD-ROMs (plus
-shipping in some cases), we will ship you four new versions of the *Note
-Source Code CD-ROMs::. The CD-ROMs are sent as they are issued (currently
-twice a year, but we hope to make it more frequent). We do not yet know if
-we will be offering subscriptions to the Compiler Tools Binaries CD.
-
-A subscription is an easy way to keep up with the regular bug fixes to the X
-Window System. Each edition of the *Note Source Code CD-ROMs::, has updated
-sources for the X Window System.
-
-Please note: In two cases, you must pay 4 times the normal shipping required
-for a single order when you pay for each subscription. If you're in Alaska,
-Hawaii, or Puerto Rico you must add $20.00 for shipping for each
-subscription. If you're outside of the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico, you
-must add $80.00 for each subscription. See "CD-ROMs" and "Tax and Shipping
-Costs" on the *note Free Software Foundation Order Form::.

-FSF T-shirt
-***********
-
-The front of our T-shirt has the GNU Emacs Lisp code `(USE 'GNU)' with "`()'"
-being the dancing parentheses from the cover of our `GNU Emacs Lisp Reference
-Manual' (drawn by Berkeley, CA artist Etienne Suvasa). The shirt's back has
-the Preamble to the GNU General Public License.
-
-These shirts come in black, natural (off-white), burgundy, and blue-green.
-When you order, please give 3 choices. Black is printed in white and the
-other colors are printed in black. All shirts are thick 100% cotton; black
-and burgundy come in sizes M, L, XL, and XXL and the others in sizes L and XL
-(they run small so you may want a larger size than usual).
-
-GNU T-shirts often create spontaneous friendships at conferences & on
-university campuses. They also make great gifts for friends & family,
-including children!
