GCC If building on x86_64, change the default directory name for 64-bit libraries to lib: case $(uname -m) in x86_64) sed -e '/m64=/s/lib64/lib/' \ -i.orig gcc/config/i386/t-linux64 ;; esac The GCC documentation recommends building GCC in a dedicated build directory: mkdir -v build cd build Prepare GCC for compilation: SED=sed \ ../configure --prefix=/usr \ --enable-languages=c,c++ \ --disable-multilib \ --disable-bootstrap \ --with-system-zlib Note that for other languages, there are some prerequisites that are not yet available. See the BLFS Book for instructions on how to build all of GCC's supported languages. SED=sed Setting this environment variable prevents a hard-coded path to /tools/bin/sed. --with-system-zlib This switch tells GCC to link to the system installed copy of the Zlib library, rather than its own internal copy. Compile the package: make In this section, the test suite for GCC is considered critical. Do not skip it under any circumstance. One set of tests in the GCC test suite is known to exhaust the stack, so increase the stack size prior to running the tests: ulimit -s 32768 Test the results as a non-privileged user, but do not stop at errors: chown -Rv nobody . su nobody -s /bin/bash -c "PATH=$PATH make -k check" To receive a summary of the test suite results, run: ../contrib/test_summary For only the summaries, pipe the output through grep -A7 Summ. Results can be compared with those located at and . Six tests related to get_time are known to fail. These are apparantly related to the en_HK locale. Two tests named lookup.cc and reverse.cc in experimental/net are known to fail in LFS chroot environment because they require /etc/hosts and iana-etc. Two tests named pr57193.c and pr90178.c are known to fail. A few unexpected failures cannot always be avoided. The GCC developers are usually aware of these issues, but have not resolved them yet. Unless the test results are vastly different from those at the above URL, it is safe to continue. On some combinations of kernel configuration and AMD processors there may be more than 1100 failures in the gcc.target/i386/mpx tests (which are designed to test the MPX option on recent Intel processors). These can safely be ignored on AMD processors. These tests will also fail on Intel processors if MPX support is not enabled in the kernel even though it is present on the CPU. Install the package: make install Create a symlink required by the FHS for "historical" reasons. ln -sv ../usr/bin/cpp /lib Many packages use the name cc to call the C compiler. To satisfy those packages, create a symlink: ln -sv gcc /usr/bin/cc Add a compatibility symlink to enable building programs with Link Time Optimization (LTO): install -v -dm755 /usr/lib/bfd-plugins ln -sfv ../../libexec/gcc/$(gcc -dumpmachine)/&gcc-version;/liblto_plugin.so \ /usr/lib/bfd-plugins/ 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: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/&gcc-version;/../../../../lib/crt1.o succeeded /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/&gcc-version;/../../../../lib/crti.o succeeded /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/&gcc-version;/../../../../lib/crtn.o succeeded Depending on your machine architecture, the above may differ slightly, the difference usually being the name of the directory after /usr/lib/gcc. The important thing to look for here is that gcc has found all three crt*.o files under the /usr/lib directory. grep -B4 '^ /usr/include' dummy.log #include <...> search starts here: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/&gcc-version;/include /usr/local/include /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/&gcc-version;/include-fixed /usr/include Again, note that the directory named after your target triplet may be different than the above, depending on your architecture. SEARCH_DIR("/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib64") SEARCH_DIR("/usr/local/lib64") SEARCH_DIR("/lib64") SEARCH_DIR("/usr/lib64") SEARCH_DIR("/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib") SEARCH_DIR("/usr/local/lib") SEARCH_DIR("/lib") SEARCH_DIR("/usr/lib"); A 32-bit system may see a few different directories. For example, here is the output from an i686 machine: SEARCH_DIR("/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib32") SEARCH_DIR("/usr/local/lib32") SEARCH_DIR("/lib32") SEARCH_DIR("/usr/lib32") SEARCH_DIR("/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib") SEARCH_DIR("/usr/local/lib") SEARCH_DIR("/lib") SEARCH_DIR("/usr/lib"); Finally, move a misplaced file: mkdir -pv /usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib mv -v /usr/lib/*gdb.py /usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib Installed programs Installed libraries Installed directories c++, cc (link to gcc), cpp, g++, gcc, gcc-ar, gcc-nm, gcc-ranlib, gcov, gcov-dump, and gcov-tool libasan.{a,so}, libatomic.{a,so}, libcc1.so, libgcc.a, libgcc_eh.a, libgcc_s.so, libgcov.a, libgomp.{a,so}, libitm.{a,so}, liblsan.{a,so}, liblto_plugin.so, libquadmath.{a,so}, libssp.{a,so}, libssp_nonshared.a, libstdc++.{a,so}, libstdc++fs.a, libsupc++.a, libtsan.{a,so}, and libubsan.{a,so} /usr/include/c++, /usr/lib/gcc, /usr/libexec/gcc, and /usr/share/gcc-&gcc-version; Short Descriptions c++ The C++ compiler c++ 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 g++ The C++ compiler g++ gcc The C compiler gcc gcc-ar A wrapper around ar that adds a plugin to the command line.
