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 41 Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by 42 the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or 43 COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the 44 GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. 45 46 REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info 47 on where and how to report problems. 48
