133965Sjdp README for GNU development tools 233965Sjdp 333965SjdpThis directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 433965Sjdpdebuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. 533965Sjdp 633965SjdpIf you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. 733965SjdpIf with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, 833965Sjdpsee libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this 933965Sjdppackage -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. 1033965Sjdp 1133965SjdpIt is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of 1233965Sjdptools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, 1333965Sjdprun the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: 1433965Sjdp 1533965Sjdp ./configure 1633965Sjdp make 1733965Sjdp 1833965SjdpTo install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), 1933965Sjdpthen do: 2033965Sjdp make install 2133965Sjdp 2233965Sjdp(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it 2333965Sjdpthe name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can 2433965Sjdpuse the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if 2533965Sjdpit is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, 2633965Sjdpand OS.) 2733965Sjdp 2833965SjdpIf you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to 2933965Sjdpexplicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to 3033965Sjdpalso set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): 3133965Sjdp 3233965Sjdp CC=gcc ./configure 3333965Sjdp make CC=gcc 3433965Sjdp 3533965SjdpA similar example using csh: 3633965Sjdp 3733965Sjdp setenv CC gcc 3833965Sjdp ./configure 3933965Sjdp make CC=gcc 4033965Sjdp 4133965SjdpSee etc/cfg-paper.texi, etc/configure.texi, and/or the README files in 4233965Sjdpvarious subdirectories, for more details. 4333965Sjdp 4433965SjdpMuch of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by 4533965Sjdpthe Free Software Foundation, Inc.
