This fixes various issues, most noticably with libtool on multilib systems: patch -Np1 -i ../&gcc-PR20425-patch; Apply a sed substitution that will suppress the installation of libiberty.a. The version of libiberty.a provided by Binutils will be used instead: cp libiberty/Makefile.in{,.orig} sed 's/install_to_$(INSTALL_DEST) //' libiberty/Makefile.in.orig > libiberty/Makefile.in GCC provides a gccbug script which detects at compile time whether mktemp is present, and hardcodes the result in a test. If mktemp is not found, the script will fall back to using less random names for temporary files. We will be installing mktemp later, so the following sed will simulate its presence: cp gcc/gccbug.in{,.orig} sed 's/@have_mktemp_command@/yes/' gcc/gccbug.in.orig > gcc/gccbug.in The GCC documentation recommends building GCC outside of the source directory in a dedicated build directory: mkdir -v ../gcc-build cd ../gcc-build Prepare GCC for compilation: ../gcc-&gcc-version;/configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib \ --build=${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 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 -sv ../usr/bin/cpp ${CLFS}/lib Many packages use the name cc to call the C compiler. To satisfy those packages, create a symlink: ln -sv 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, libmudflap.[a,so], libmudflapth.[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++
