133965Sjdp README for GNU development tools 261843Sobrien 338889SjdpThis 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 2238889Sjdp(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it 2338889Sjdpthe name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can 2438889Sjdpuse 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 2938889Sjdpexplicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to 3038889Sjdpalso set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): 3138889Sjdp 3238889Sjdp CC=gcc ./configure 3338889Sjdp make 3438889Sjdp 3538889SjdpA similar example using csh: 3638889Sjdp 3738889Sjdp setenv CC gcc 3838889Sjdp ./configure 3938889Sjdp make 4038889Sjdp 4138889SjdpMuch of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by 4238889Sjdpthe Free Software Foundation, Inc.
