Using these can lead to various sorts of build +problems. To avoid this issue, set the <samp><span class="env">PWDCMD</span></samp> environment +variable to an automounter-aware <samp><span class="command">pwd</span></samp> command, e.g., +<samp><span class="command">pawd</span></samp> or ‘<samp><span class="samp">amq -w</span></samp>’, during the configuration and build +phases. + + <p>First, we <strong>highly</strong> recommend that GCC be built into a +separate directory than the sources which does <strong>not</strong> reside +within the source tree. This is how we generally build GCC; building +where <var>srcdir</var> == <var>objdir</var> should still work, but doesn't +get extensive testing; building where <var>objdir</var> is a subdirectory +of <var>srcdir</var> is unsupported. + + <p>If you have previously built GCC in the same directory for a +different target machine, do ‘<samp><span class="samp">make distclean</span></samp>’ to delete all files +that might be invalid. One of the files this deletes is <samp><span class="file">Makefile</span></samp>; +if ‘<samp><span class="samp">make distclean</span></samp>’ complains that <samp><span class="file">Makefile</span></samp> does not exist +or issues a message like “don't know how to make distclean” it probably +means that the directory is already suitably clean. However, with the +recommended method of building in a separate <var>objdir</var>, you should +simply use a different <var>objdir</var> for each target. + + <p>Second, when configuring a native system, either <samp><span class="command">cc</span></samp> or +<samp><span class="command">gcc</span></samp> must be in your path or you must set <samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp> in +your environment before running configure.

This option prepends <var>prefix</var> to the names of +programs to install in <var>bindir</var> (see above). For example, specifying +<samp><span class="option">--program-prefix=foo-</span></samp> would result in ‘<samp><span class="samp">gcc</span></samp>’ +being installed as <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/bin/foo-gcc</span></samp>. + + <br><dt><code>--program-suffix=</code><var>suffix</var><dd>Appends <var>suffix</var> to the names of programs to install in <var>bindir</var> +(see above). For example, specifying <samp><span class="option">--program-suffix=-3.1</span></samp> +would result in ‘<samp><span class="samp">gcc</span></samp>’ being installed as +<samp><span class="file">/usr/local/bin/gcc-3.1</span></samp>. + + <br><dt><code>--program-transform-name=</code><var>pattern</var><dd>Applies the ‘<samp><span class="samp">sed</span></samp>’ script <var>pattern</var> to be applied to the names +of programs to install in <var>bindir</var> (see above). <var>pattern</var> has to +consist of one or more basic ‘<samp><span class="samp">sed</span></samp>’ editing commands, separated by +semicolons. For example, if you want the ‘<samp><span class="samp">gcc</span></samp>’ program name to be +transformed to the installed program <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/bin/myowngcc</span></samp> and +the ‘<samp><span class="samp">g++</span></samp>’ program name to be transformed to +<samp><span class="file">/usr/local/bin/gspecial++</span></samp> without changing other program names, +you could use the pattern +<samp><span class="option">--program-transform-name='s/^gcc$/myowngcc/; s/^g++$/gspecial++/'</span></samp> +to achieve this effect. + + <p>All three options can be combined and used together, resulting in more +complex conversion patterns. As a basic rule, <var>prefix</var> (and +<var>suffix</var>) are prepended (appended) before further transformations +can happen with a special transformation script <var>pattern</var>. + + <p>As currently implemented, this option only takes effect for native +builds; cross compiler binaries' names are not transformed even when a +transformation is explicitly asked for by one of these options. + + <p>For native builds, some of the installed programs are also installed +with the target alias in front of their name, as in +‘<samp><span class="samp">i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc</span></samp>’. All of the above transformations happen +before the target alias is prepended to the name—so, specifying +<samp><span class="option">--program-prefix=foo-</span></samp> and <samp><span class="option">program-suffix=-3.1</span></samp>, the +resulting binary would be installed as +<samp><span class="file">/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-foo-gcc-3.1</span></samp>. + + <p>As a last shortcoming, none of the installed Ada programs are +transformed yet, which will be fixed in some time. + + <br><dt><code>--with-local-prefix=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the +installation directory for local include files. The default is +<samp><span class="file">/usr/local</span></samp>. Specify this option if you want the compiler to +search directory <samp><var>dirname</var><span class="file">/include</span></samp> for locally installed +header files <em>instead</em> of <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/include</span></samp>. + + <p>You should specify <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp> <strong>only</strong> if your +site has a different convention (not <samp><span class="file">/usr/local</span></samp>) for where to put +site-specific files. + + <p>The default value for <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp> is <samp><span class="file">/usr/local</span></samp> +regardless of the value of <samp><span class="option">--prefix</span></samp>. Specifying +<samp><span class="option">--prefix</span></samp> has no effect on which directory GCC searches for +local header files. This may seem counterintuitive, but actually it is +logical. + + <p>The purpose of <samp><span class="option">--prefix</span></samp> is to specify where to <em>install +GCC</em>. The local header files in <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/include</span></samp>—if you put +any in that directory—are not part of GCC. They are part of other +programs—perhaps many others. (GCC installs its own header files in +another directory which is based on the <samp><span class="option">--prefix</span></samp> value.) + + <p>Both the local-prefix include directory and the GCC-prefix include +directory are part of GCC's “system include” directories. Although these +two directories are not fixed, they need to be searched in the proper +order for the correct processing of the include_next directive. The +local-prefix include directory is searched before the GCC-prefix +include directory. Another characteristic of system include directories +is that pedantic warnings are turned off for headers in these directories. + + <p>Some autoconf macros add <samp><span class="option">-I </span><var>directory</var></samp> options to the +compiler command line, to ensure that directories containing installed +packages' headers are searched. When <var>directory</var> is one of GCC's +system include directories, GCC will ignore the option so that system +directories continue to be processed in the correct order. This +may result in a search order different from what was specified but the +directory will still be searched. + + <p>GCC automatically searches for ordinary libraries using +<samp><span class="env">GCC_EXEC_PREFIX</span></samp>. Thus, when the same installation prefix is +used for both GCC and packages, GCC will automatically search for +both headers and libraries. This provides a configuration that is +easy to use. GCC behaves in a manner similar to that when it is +installed as a system compiler in <samp><span class="file">/usr</span></samp>. + + <p>Sites that need to install multiple versions of GCC may not want to +use the above simple configuration. It is possible to use the +<samp><span class="option">--program-prefix</span></samp>, <samp><span class="option">--program-suffix</span></samp> and +<samp><span class="option">--program-transform-name</span></samp> options to install multiple versions +into a single directory, but it may be simpler to use different prefixes +and the <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp> option to specify the location of the +site-specific files for each version. It will then be necessary for +users to specify explicitly the location of local site libraries +(e.g., with <samp><span class="env">LIBRARY_PATH</span></samp>). + + <p>The same value can be used for both <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp> and +<samp><span class="option">--prefix</span></samp> provided it is not <samp><span class="file">/usr</span></samp>. This can be used +to avoid the default search of <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/include</span></samp>. + + <p><strong>Do not</strong> specify <samp><span class="file">/usr</span></samp> as the <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp>! +The directory you use for <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp> <strong>must not</strong> +contain any of the system's standard header files. If it did contain +them, certain programs would be miscompiled (including GNU Emacs, on +certain targets), because this would override and nullify the header +file corrections made by the <samp><span class="command">fixincludes</span></samp> script. + + <p>Indications are that people who use this option use it based on mistaken +ideas of what it is for. People use it as if it specified where to +install part of GCC. Perhaps they make this assumption because +installing GCC creates the directory. + + <br><dt><code>--enable-shared[=</code><var>package</var><code>[,...]]</code><dd>Build shared versions of libraries, if shared libraries are supported on +the target platform.

This is useful in case you intend +to use GCJ with some other run-time, or you're going to install it +separately, or it just happens not to build on your particular +machine. In general, if the Java front end is enabled, the GCJ +libraries will be enabled too, unless they're known to not work on +the target platform. If GCJ is enabled but ‘<samp><span class="samp">libgcj</span></samp>’ isn't built, you +may need to port it; in this case, before modifying the top-level +<samp><span class="file">configure.in</span></samp> so that ‘<samp><span class="samp">libgcj</span></samp>’ is enabled by default on this platform, +you may use <samp><span class="option">--enable-libgcj</span></samp> to override the default. + + </dl> + + <p>The following options apply to building ‘<samp><span class="samp">libgcj</span></samp>’. + +<h5 class="subsubheading"><a name="TOC5"></a>General Options</h5> + + <dl> +<dt><code>--enable-java-maintainer-mode</code><dd>By default the ‘<samp><span class="samp">libjava</span></samp>’ build will not attempt to compile the +<samp><span class="file">.java</span></samp> source files to <samp><span class="file">.class</span></samp>. Instead, it will use the +<samp><span class="file">.class</span></samp> files from the source tree.
