-As of GC6.0alpha8, we attempt to support GNU-style builds based on automake,
-autoconf and libtool. This is based almost entirely on Tom Tromey's work
-with gcj.
-
-To build and install libraries use
-
-configure; make; make install
-
-The advantages of this process are:
-
-1) It should eventually do a better job of automatically determining the
-right compiler to use, etc. It probably already does in some cases.
-
-2) It tries to automatically set a good set of default GC parameters for
-the platform (e.g. thread support). It provides an easier way to configure
-some of the others.
-
-3) It integrates better with other projects using a GNU-style build process.
-
-4) It builds both dynamic and static libraries.
-
-The known disadvantages are:
-
-1) The build scripts are much more complex and harder to debug (though largely
-standard). I don't understand them all, and there's probably lots of redundant
-stuff.
-
-2) It probably doesn't work on all Un*x-like platforms yet. It probably will
-never work on the rest.
-
-3) The scripts are not yet complete. Some of the standard GNU targets don't
-yet work. (Corrections/additions are very welcome.)
-
-The distribution should contain all files needed to run "configure" and "make",
-as well as the sources needed to regenerate the derived files. (If I missed
-some, please let me know.)
-
-Note that the distribution comes with a "Makefile" which will be overwritten
-by "configure" with one that is not at all equiavelent to the original. The
-distribution contains a copy of the original "Makefile" in "Makefile.direct".
-
-Important options to configure:
-
- --prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
- [/usr/local]
- --exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
- [same as prefix]
- --enable-threads=TYPE choose threading package
- --enable-parallel-mark parallelize marking and free list construction
- --enable-full-debug include full support for pointer backtracing etc.
-
-Unless --prefix is set (or --exec-prefix or one of the more obscure options),
-make install will install libgc.a and libgc.so in /usr/local/bin, which
-would typically require the "make install" to be run as root.
-
-Most commonly --enable-threads=posix or will be needed. --enable-parallel-mark
-is recommended for multiprocessors if it is supported on the platform.
