- <title>Installation of GCC</title>
- <para>This package is known to behave badly when you have changed its
- default optimization flags (including the -march and -mcpu options).
- Therefore, if you have defined any environment variables that override
- default optimizations, such as CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS, we recommend unsetting
- or modifying them when building GCC.</para>
- <para>This is an older release of GCC which we are going to install for the
- purpose of compiling the Linux kernel in <xref linkend="chapter08"/>. This
- version is recommended
- by the kernel developers when you need absolute stability. Later versions of
- GCC have not received as much testing for Linux kernel compilation. Using a
- later version is likely to work, however, we recommend adhering to the kernel
- developer's advice and using the version here to compile your kernel.</para>
- <note><para>We don't install the C++ compiler or libraries here. However, there
- may be reasons why you would want to install them. More information can be found
- at <ulink url="&blfs-root;view/stable/general/gcc2.html"/>.</para></note>
- <para>We'll install this older release of GCC into the non-standard prefix of
- <filename class="directory">/opt</filename> so as to avoid interfering with
- the system GCC already installed in <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>
- .</para>
- <para>Apply the patches and make a small adjustment:</para>
- <screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../&gcc-2953-patch;
- patch -Np1 -i ../&gcc-2953-no-fixinc-patch;
- patch -Np1 -i ../&gcc-2953-returntype-fix-patch;
- echo timestamp > gcc/cstamp-h.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-2-build
- cd ../gcc-2-build</userinput></screen>
- <para>Compile and install gcc:</para>
- <screen><userinput>../gcc-2.95.3/configure --prefix=/opt/gcc-2.95.3 \
