      1 		   README for GNU development tools
      2 
      3 This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
      4 debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.
      5 
      6 If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
      7 If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
      8 see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
      9 package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.
     10 
     11 It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
     12 tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
     13 run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:
     14 
     15 	./configure 
     16 	make
     17 
     18 To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
     19 then do:
     20 	make install
     21 
     22 (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
     23 the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
     24 use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
     25 it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
     26 and OS.)
     27 
     28 If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
     29 explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
     30 also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):
     31 
     32 	CC=gcc ./configure
     33 	make
     34 
     35 A similar example using csh:
     36 
     37 	setenv CC gcc
     38 	./configure
     39 	make
     40
