  23. <para>The GCC documentation recommends building GCC outside of the
  24. source directory in a dedicated build directory:</para>
  25. <screen><userinput>mkdir -v ../gcc-build
  26. cd ../gcc-build</userinput></screen>
  27. <para>Prepare GCC for compilation:</para>

  35. <listitem><para>The purpose of this switch is to remove <filename class="directory">/usr/local/include</filename>
  36. from <command>gcc</command>'s include search path. This is not absolutely
  37. essential, however, it helps to minimize the influence of the host
  38. system.</para>

  44. <filename class="libraryfile">libgcc_s.so.1</filename> and
  45. <filename class="libraryfile">libgcc_eh.a</filename>. Having
  46. <filename class="libraryfile">libgcc_eh.a</filename> available ensures that the
  47. configure script for Glibc (the next package we compile) produces the proper
  48. results.</para></listitem>

  62. <listitem><para>This target does not just compile GCC, but compiles it
  63. several times. It uses the programs compiled in a first round to
  64. compile itself a second time, and then again a third time. It then
  65. compares these second and third compiles to make sure it can reproduce
  66. itself flawlessly. This also implies that it was compiled
  67. correctly.</para></listitem>

  70. <para>Compilation is now complete. At this point, the test suite would
  71. normally be run, but, as mentioned before, the test suite framework is
  72. not in place yet. The benefits of running the tests at this point
  73. are minimal since the programs from this first pass will soon be
  74. replaced.</para>
  75. <para>Install the package:</para>
  76. <screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>
  77. <para>As a finishing touch, create a symlink. Many programs and
  78. scripts run <command>cc</command> instead of <command>gcc</command>, which is used to keep programs generic
  79. and therefore usable on all kinds of UNIX systems where the GNU C compiler
  80. is not always installed. Running <command>cc</command> leaves the system administrator
  81. free to decide which C compiler to install.</para>
