<title>Installation of GCC</title>

<para>This package is known to have issues when its default
optimization flags (including the <parameter>-march</parameter> and
<parameter>-mcpu</parameter> options) are changed. If any environment
variables that override default optimizations have been defined, such
as <envar>CFLAGS</envar> and <envar>CXXFLAGS</envar>,
unset them when building GCC.</para>

<para>Unpack both the gcc-core and the gcc-g++ tarballs&mdash;they will unpack
into the same directory. Likewise, extract the gcc-testsuite tarball.</para>

<para>Apply only the No-Fixincludes patch (not the Specs patch) also
used in the previous chapter:</para>

<screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../&gcc-no_fixincludes-patch;</userinput></screen>

<para>GCC fails to compile some packages outside of a base Linux From Scratch
install (e.g., Mozilla and kdegraphics) when used in conjunction with newer
versions of Binutils.  Apply the following patch to fix this issue:</para>

<screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../&gcc-linkonce-patch;</userinput></screen>

<para>Apply a sed 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>sed -i 's/install_to_$(INSTALL_DEST) //' libiberty/Makefile.in</userinput></screen>

<para>The GCC documentation recommends building GCC outside of the source
directory in a dedicated build directory:</para>

<screen><userinput>mkdir ../gcc-build
cd ../gcc-build</userinput></screen>

<para>Prepare GCC for compilation:</para>

<screen><userinput>../gcc-&gcc-version;/configure --prefix=/usr \
    --libexecdir=/usr/lib --enable-shared \
    --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit \
    --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-languages=c,c++</userinput></screen>

<para>Compile the package:</para>

<screen><userinput>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>make -k check</userinput></screen>

<para>Some of the errors are known issues and were noted in the
previous chapter. The test suite notes from <xref
linkend="ch-tools-gcc-pass2" role=","/> are still relevant here. Be sure to
refer back to them as necessary.</para>

<para>Install the package:</para>

<screen><userinput>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>ln -s ../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>ln -s gcc /usr/bin/cc</userinput></screen>

<note><para>At this point, it is strongly recommended to repeat the
sanity check performed earlier in this chapter. Refer back to <xref
linkend="ch-system-readjusting" role=","/> and repeat the check. If the results
are in error, then the most likely reason is that the GCC Specs patch
from <xref linkend="chapter-temporary-tools"/> was erroneously applied
here.</para></note>
