<title>Installation of GCC</title>
<para>Apply a <command>sed</command> substitution that will suppress the
installation of <filename class="libraryfile">libiberty.a</filename>. The
version of <filename class="libraryfile">libiberty.a</filename> provided by
Binutils will be used instead:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="pre">sed -i 's/install_to_$(INSTALL_DEST) //' libiberty/Makefile.in</userinput></screen>
<para>As in <xref linkend="ch-tools-gcc-pass2"/>, apply the following
<command>sed</command> to force the build to use the
<option>-fomit-frame-pointer</option> compiler flag in order to ensure
consistent compiler builds:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="pre">case `uname -m` in
i?86) sed -i 's/^T_CFLAGS =$/&amp; -fomit-frame-pointer/' \
gcc/Makefile.in ;;
esac</userinput></screen>
<para>The <command>fixincludes</command> script is known to occasionally
erroneously attempt to &quot;fix&quot; the system headers installed so far.
As the headers up to this point are known to not require fixing,
issue the following command to prevent the <command>fixincludes</command>
script from running:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="pre">sed -i 's@\./fixinc\.sh@-c true@' gcc/Makefile.in</userinput></screen>
<para>The GCC documentation recommends building GCC outside of the source
directory in a dedicated build directory:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="pre">mkdir -v ../gcc-build
cd ../gcc-build</userinput></screen>
<para>Prepare GCC for compilation:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="configure">../gcc-&gcc-version;/configure --prefix=/usr \
--libexecdir=/usr/lib --enable-shared \
--enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit \
--enable-clocale=gnu --enable-languages=c,c++ \
--disable-multilib --disable-bootstrap</userinput></screen>
<para>Note that for other languages, there are some prerequisites that
are not available. See the BLFS Book for instructions on how to
build all the GCC supported languages.</para>
<para>Compile the package:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="make">make</userinput></screen>
<important>
<para>In this section, the test suite for GCC is considered
critical. Do not skip it under any circumstance.</para>
</important>
<para>Test the results, but do not stop at errors:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="test">make -k check</userinput></screen>
<para>To receive a summary of the test suite results, run:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="test">../gcc-&gcc-version;/contrib/test_summary</userinput></screen>
<para>For only the summaries, pipe the output through
<userinput>grep -A7 Summ</userinput>.</para>
<para>Results can be compared with those located at <ulink
url="&test-results;"/> and <ulink url="http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/"/>.</para>
<para>A few unexpected failures cannot always be avoided. The GCC developers
are usually aware of these issues, but have not resolved them yet. In
particular, the <filename class="libraryfile">libmudflap</filename> tests
are known be particularly problematic as a result of a bug in GCC
(<ulink url="http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20003"/>).
Unless the test results are vastly different from those at the above URL,
it is safe to continue.</para>
<para>Install the package:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="install">make install</userinput></screen>
<para>Some packages expect the C preprocessor to be installed in the
<filename class="directory">/lib</filename> directory.
To support those packages, create this symlink:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="install">ln -sv ../usr/bin/cpp /lib</userinput></screen>
<para>Many packages use the name <command>cc</command> to call the C
compiler. To satisfy those packages, create a symlink:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="install">ln -sv gcc /usr/bin/cc</userinput></screen>
<para>Now that our final toolchain is in place, it is important to again ensure
that compiling and linking will work as expected. We do this by performing
the same sanity checks as we did earlier in the chapter:</para>
<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
href="readjusting.xml"
xpointer="xpointer(//*[@os='a'])"/>
<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
href="readjusting.xml"
xpointer="xpointer(//*[@os='b'])"/>
<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"

xpointer="xpointer(//*[@os='c'])"/>

href="readjusting.xml"
xpointer="xpointer(//*[@os='d'])"/>
<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"

xpointer="xpointer(//*[@os='e'])"/>
<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/&gcc-version;/../../../crtn.o succeeded</computeroutput></screen>
<para>Depending on your machine architecture, the above may differ slightly,
the difference usually being the name of the directory
after <filename class="directory">/usr/lib/gcc</filename>. If your machine is
a 64-bit system, you may also see a directory named <filename class="directory">lib64</filename>
towards the end of the string. The important thing to
look for here is that <command>gcc</command> has found all three
<filename>crt*.o</filename> files under the
<filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename> directory.</para>
<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
href="readjusting.xml"
xpointer="xpointer(//*[@os='g'])"/>
<screen><userinput>grep -B4 '^ /usr/include' dummy.log</userinput></screen>
<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
href="readjusting.xml"
xpointer="xpointer(//*[@os='h'])"/>
<screen><computeroutput>#include &lt;...&gt; search starts here:
/usr/local/include
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/&gcc-version;/include
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/&gcc-version;/include-fixed
/usr/include</computeroutput></screen>
<para>Again, note that the directory named after your target triplet may be
different than the above, depending on your architecture.</para>
<note><para>As of version 4.3.0, GCC now unconditionally installs the
<filename>limits.h</filename> file into the private
<filename class="directory">include-fixed</filename> directory, and that
directory is required to be in place.</para></note>

<para>A 64-bit system may see a few more directories. For example, here
is the output from an x86_64 machine:</para>
<screen><computeroutput>SEARCH_DIR("/usr/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib64")
SEARCH_DIR("/usr/local/lib64")
SEARCH_DIR("/lib64")
SEARCH_DIR("/usr/lib64")
