This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers,
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.
-If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
-If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release,
-see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this
-package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.
-It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
-tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein,
-run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:
+Check the INSTALL directory for detailed configuration and installation
+instructions.
- ./configure
- make
-
-To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
-then do:
- make install
-
-(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
-the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can
-use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
-it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
-and OS.)
-
-If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
-explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
-also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):
-
- CC=gcc ./configure
- make
-
-A similar example using csh:
-
- setenv CC gcc
- ./configure
- make
