The version of libiberty.a provided by Binutils will be used instead: cp libiberty/Makefile.in{,.orig} sed 's/install_to_$(INSTALL_DEST) //' libiberty/Makefile.in.orig > \ libiberty/Makefile.in GCC provides a gccbug script which detects at compile time whether mktemp is present, and hardcodes the result in a test. If mktemp is not found, the script will fall back to using less random names for temporary files. mktemp will be installed as part of Coreutils later, so the following sed will simulate its presence: cp gcc/gccbug.in{,.orig} sed 's/@have_mktemp_command@/yes/' gcc/gccbug.in.orig > gcc/gccbug.in The fixincludes script attempts to "fix" the system headers installed so far. Since GCC is cross-compiled expecting the system headers to be in /usr/include, the script will be looking at the host system's headers. The following sed prevents fixincludes from running: cp gcc/Makefile.in{,.orig} sed 's@\./fixinc\.sh@-c true@' gcc/Makefile.in.orig > gcc/Makefile.in The GCC documentation recommends building GCC outside of the source directory in a dedicated build directory: mkdir -v ../gcc-build cd ../gcc-build Prepare GCC for compilation: LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath-link,${CLFS}/cross-tools/${CLFS_TARGET}/lib" \ ../gcc-&gcc-version;/configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib \ --build=${CLFS_HOST} --host=${CLFS_TARGET} --target=${CLFS_TARGET} \ --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit \ --enable-c99 --enable-long-long --enable-clocale=gnu \ --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-libstdcxx-pch The following will prevent GCC from looking in the wrong directories for headers and libraries: cp Makefile{,.orig} sed "/^HOST_\(GMP\|PPL\|CLOOG\)\(LIBS\|INC\)/s:-[IL]/\(lib\|include\)::" \ Makefile.orig > Makefile Compile the package: make Install the package: make DESTDIR=${CLFS} install Some packages expect the C preprocessor to be installed in the /lib directory. To support those packages, create this symlink: ln -sfv ../usr/bin/cpp ${CLFS}/lib Many packages use the name cc to call the C compiler. To satisfy those packages, create a symlink: ln -sfv gcc ${CLFS}/usr/bin/cc Contents of GCC Installed programs Installed libraries c++, cc (link to gcc), cpp, g++, gcc, gccbug, and gcov libgcc.a, libgcc_eh.a, libgcc_s.so, libgomp.[a,so], libmudflap.[a,so], libmudflapth.[a,so], libssp.[a,so], libstdc++.[a,so], and libsupc++.a Short Descriptions cc The C compiler cc cpp The C preprocessor; it is used by the compiler to expand the #include, #define, and similar statements in the source files cpp c++ The C++ compiler c++ g++ The C++ compiler g++ gcc The C compiler gcc gccbug A shell script used to help create useful bug reports gccbug gcov A coverage testing tool; it is used to analyze programs to determine where optimizations will have the most effect gcov libgcc Contains run-time support for gcc libgcc* libmudflap The libmudflap libraries are used by GCC for instrumenting pointer and array dereferencing operations. libmudflap* libstdc++ The standard C++ library libstdc++ libsupc++ Provides supporting routines for the C++ programming language libsupc++
