Using these can lead to various sorts of build 58 problems. To avoid this issue, set the <samp><span class="env">PWDCMD</span></samp> environment 59 variable to an automounter-aware <samp><span class="command">pwd</span></samp> command, e.g., 60 <samp><span class="command">pawd</span></samp> or ‘<samp><span class="samp">amq -w</span></samp>’, during the configuration and build 61 phases. 62 63 <p>First, we <strong>highly</strong> recommend that GCC be built into a 64 separate directory from the sources which does <strong>not</strong> reside 65 within the source tree. This is how we generally build GCC; building 66 where <var>srcdir</var> == <var>objdir</var> should still work, but doesn't 67 get extensive testing; building where <var>objdir</var> is a subdirectory 68 of <var>srcdir</var> is unsupported. 69 70 <p>If you have previously built GCC in the same directory for a 71 different target machine, do ‘<samp><span class="samp">make distclean</span></samp>’ to delete all files 72 that might be invalid. One of the files this deletes is <samp><span class="file">Makefile</span></samp>; 73 if ‘<samp><span class="samp">make distclean</span></samp>’ complains that <samp><span class="file">Makefile</span></samp> does not exist 74 or issues a message like “don't know how to make distclean” it probably 75 means that the directory is already suitably clean. However, with the 76 recommended method of building in a separate <var>objdir</var>, you should 77 simply use a different <var>objdir</var> for each target. 78 79 <p>Second, when configuring a native system, either <samp><span class="command">cc</span></samp> or 80 <samp><span class="command">gcc</span></samp> must be in your path or you must set <samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp> in 81 your environment before running configure. Otherwise the configuration 82 scripts may fail. 83 84 <p>To configure GCC: 85 86 <pre class="smallexample"> % mkdir <var>objdir</var> 87 % cd <var>objdir</var> 88 % <var>srcdir</var>/configure [<var>options</var>] [<var>target</var>] 89 </pre> 90 <h3 class="heading"><a name="TOC0"></a>Distributor options</h3> 91 92 <p>If you will be distributing binary versions of GCC, with modifications 93 to the source code, you should use the options described in this 94 section to make clear that your version contains modifications. 95 96 <dl> 97 <dt><code>--with-pkgversion=</code><var>version</var><dd>Specify a string that identifies your package. You may wish 98 to include a build number or build date. This version string will be 99 included in the output of <samp><span class="command">gcc --version</span></samp>. This suffix does 100 not replace the default version string, only the ‘<samp><span class="samp">GCC</span></samp>’ part. 101 102 <p>The default value is ‘<samp><span class="samp">GCC</span></samp>’. 103 104 <br><dt><code>--with-bugurl=</code><var>url</var><dd>Specify the URL that users should visit if they wish to report a bug. 105 You are of course welcome to forward bugs reported to you to the FSF, 106 if you determine that they are not bugs in your modifications. 107 108 <p>The default value refers to the FSF's GCC bug tracker. 109 110 </dl> 111 112 <h3 class="heading"><a name="TOC1"></a>Target specification</h3> 113 114 <ul> 115 <li>GCC has code to correctly determine the correct value for <var>target</var> 116 for nearly all native systems. Therefore, we highly recommend you do 117 not provide a configure target when configuring a native compiler. 118 119 <li><var>target</var> must be specified as <samp><span class="option">--target=</span><var>target</var></samp> 120 when configuring a cross compiler; examples of valid targets would be 121 m68k-elf, sh-elf, etc. 122 123 <li>Specifying just <var>target</var> instead of <samp><span class="option">--target=</span><var>target</var></samp> 124 implies that the host defaults to <var>target</var>. 125 </ul> 126 127 <h3 class="heading"><a name="TOC2"></a>Options specification</h3> 128 129 <p>Use <var>options</var> to override several configure time options for 130 GCC. A list of supported <var>options</var> follows; ‘<samp><span class="samp">configure 131 --help</span></samp>’ may list other options, but those not listed below may not 132 work and should not normally be used. 133 134 <p>Note that each <samp><span class="option">--enable</span></samp> option has a corresponding 135 <samp><span class="option">--disable</span></samp> option and that each <samp><span class="option">--with</span></samp> option has a 136 corresponding <samp><span class="option">--without</span></samp> option. 137 138 <dl> 139 <dt><code>--prefix=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the toplevel installation 140 directory. This is the recommended way to install the tools into a directory 141 other than the default. The toplevel installation directory defaults to 142 <samp><span class="file">/usr/local</span></samp>. 143 144 <p>We <strong>highly</strong> recommend against <var>dirname</var> being the same or a 145 subdirectory of <var>objdir</var> or vice versa. If specifying a directory 146 beneath a user's home directory tree, some shells will not expand 147 <var>dirname</var> correctly if it contains the ‘<samp><span class="samp">~</span></samp>’ metacharacter; use 148 <samp><span class="env">$HOME</span></samp> instead. 149 150 <p>The following standard <samp><span class="command">autoconf</span></samp> options are supported. Normally you 151 should not need to use these options. 152 <dl> 153 <dt><code>--exec-prefix=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the toplevel installation directory for architecture-dependent 154 files. The default is <samp><var>prefix</var></samp>. 155 156 <br><dt><code>--bindir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for the executables called by users 157 (such as <samp><span class="command">gcc</span></samp> and <samp><span class="command">g++</span></samp>). The default is 158 <samp><var>exec-prefix</var><span class="file">/bin</span></samp>. 159 160 <br><dt><code>--libdir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for object code libraries and 161 internal data files of GCC. The default is <samp><var>exec-prefix</var><span class="file">/lib</span></samp>. 162 163 <br><dt><code>--libexecdir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for internal executables of GCC. 164 The default is <samp><var>exec-prefix</var><span class="file">/libexec</span></samp>. 165 166 <br><dt><code>--with-slibdir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for the shared libgcc library. The 167 default is <samp><var>libdir</var></samp>. 168 169 <br><dt><code>--datarootdir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the root of the directory tree for read-only architecture-independent 170 data files referenced by GCC. The default is <samp><var>prefix</var><span class="file">/share</span></samp>. 171 172 <br><dt><code>--infodir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for documentation in info format. 173 The default is <samp><var>datarootdir</var><span class="file">/info</span></samp>. 174 175 <br><dt><code>--datadir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for some architecture-independent 176 data files referenced by GCC. The default is <samp><var>datarootdir</var></samp>. 177 178 <br><dt><code>--docdir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for documentation files (other 179 than Info) for GCC. The default is <samp><var>datarootdir</var><span class="file">/doc</span></samp>. 180 181 <br><dt><code>--htmldir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for HTML documentation files. 182 The default is <samp><var>docdir</var></samp>. 183 184 <br><dt><code>--pdfdir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for PDF documentation files. 185 The default is <samp><var>docdir</var></samp>. 186 187 <br><dt><code>--mandir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for manual pages. The default is 188 <samp><var>datarootdir</var><span class="file">/man</span></samp>. (Note that the manual pages are only extracts 189 from the full GCC manuals, which are provided in Texinfo format. The manpages 190 are derived by an automatic conversion process from parts of the full 191 manual.) 192 193 <br><dt><code>--with-gxx-include-dir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify 194 the installation directory for G++ header files. The default depends 195 on other configuration options, and differs between cross and native 196 configurations. 197 198 <br><dt><code>--with-specs=</code><var>specs</var><dd>Specify additional command line driver SPECS. 199 This can be useful if you need to turn on a non-standard feature by 200 default without modifying the compiler's source code, for instance 201 <samp><span class="option">--with-specs=%{!fcommon:%{!fno-common:-fno-common}}</span></samp>. 202 See “Spec Files” in the main manual 203 204 </dl> 205 206 <br><dt><code>--program-prefix=</code><var>prefix</var><dd>GCC supports some transformations of the names of its programs when 207 installing them. This option prepends <var>prefix</var> to the names of 208 programs to install in <var>bindir</var> (see above). For example, specifying 209 <samp><span class="option">--program-prefix=foo-</span></samp> would result in ‘<samp><span class="samp">gcc</span></samp>’ 210 being installed as <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/bin/foo-gcc</span></samp>. 211 212 <br><dt><code>--program-suffix=</code><var>suffix</var><dd>Appends <var>suffix</var> to the names of programs to install in <var>bindir</var> 213 (see above). For example, specifying <samp><span class="option">--program-suffix=-3.1</span></samp> 214 would result in ‘<samp><span class="samp">gcc</span></samp>’ being installed as 215 <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/bin/gcc-3.1</span></samp>. 216 217 <br><dt><code>--program-transform-name=</code><var>pattern</var><dd>Applies the ‘<samp><span class="samp">sed</span></samp>’ script <var>pattern</var> to be applied to the names 218 of programs to install in <var>bindir</var> (see above). <var>pattern</var> has to 219 consist of one or more basic ‘<samp><span class="samp">sed</span></samp>’ editing commands, separated by 220 semicolons. For example, if you want the ‘<samp><span class="samp">gcc</span></samp>’ program name to be 221 transformed to the installed program <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/bin/myowngcc</span></samp> and 222 the ‘<samp><span class="samp">g++</span></samp>’ program name to be transformed to 223 <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/bin/gspecial++</span></samp> without changing other program names, 224 you could use the pattern 225 <samp><span class="option">--program-transform-name='s/^gcc$/myowngcc/; s/^g++$/gspecial++/'</span></samp> 226 to achieve this effect. 227 228 <p>All three options can be combined and used together, resulting in more 229 complex conversion patterns. As a basic rule, <var>prefix</var> (and 230 <var>suffix</var>) are prepended (appended) before further transformations 231 can happen with a special transformation script <var>pattern</var>. 232 233 <p>As currently implemented, this option only takes effect for native 234 builds; cross compiler binaries' names are not transformed even when a 235 transformation is explicitly asked for by one of these options. 236 237 <p>For native builds, some of the installed programs are also installed 238 with the target alias in front of their name, as in 239 ‘<samp><span class="samp">i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc</span></samp>’. All of the above transformations happen 240 before the target alias is prepended to the name—so, specifying 241 <samp><span class="option">--program-prefix=foo-</span></samp> and <samp><span class="option">program-suffix=-3.1</span></samp>, the 242 resulting binary would be installed as 243 <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-foo-gcc-3.1</span></samp>. 244 245 <p>As a last shortcoming, none of the installed Ada programs are 246 transformed yet, which will be fixed in some time. 247 248 <br><dt><code>--with-local-prefix=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the 249 installation directory for local include files. The default is 250 <samp><span class="file">/usr/local</span></samp>. Specify this option if you want the compiler to 251 search directory <samp><var>dirname</var><span class="file">/include</span></samp> for locally installed 252 header files <em>instead</em> of <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/include</span></samp>. 253 254 <p>You should specify <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp> <strong>only</strong> if your 255 site has a different convention (not <samp><span class="file">/usr/local</span></samp>) for where to put 256 site-specific files. 257 258 <p>The default value for <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp> is <samp><span class="file">/usr/local</span></samp> 259 regardless of the value of <samp><span class="option">--prefix</span></samp>. Specifying 260 <samp><span class="option">--prefix</span></samp> has no effect on which directory GCC searches for 261 local header files. This may seem counterintuitive, but actually it is 262 logical. 263 264 <p>The purpose of <samp><span class="option">--prefix</span></samp> is to specify where to <em>install 265 GCC</em>. The local header files in <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/include</span></samp>—if you put 266 any in that directory—are not part of GCC. They are part of other 267 programs—perhaps many others. (GCC installs its own header files in 268 another directory which is based on the <samp><span class="option">--prefix</span></samp> value.) 269 270 <p>Both the local-prefix include directory and the GCC-prefix include 271 directory are part of GCC's “system include” directories. Although these 272 two directories are not fixed, they need to be searched in the proper 273 order for the correct processing of the include_next directive. The 274 local-prefix include directory is searched before the GCC-prefix 275 include directory. Another characteristic of system include directories 276 is that pedantic warnings are turned off for headers in these directories. 277 278 <p>Some autoconf macros add <samp><span class="option">-I </span><var>directory</var></samp> options to the 279 compiler command line, to ensure that directories containing installed 280 packages' headers are searched. When <var>directory</var> is one of GCC's 281 system include directories, GCC will ignore the option so that system 282 directories continue to be processed in the correct order. This 283 may result in a search order different from what was specified but the 284 directory will still be searched. 285 286 <p>GCC automatically searches for ordinary libraries using 287 <samp><span class="env">GCC_EXEC_PREFIX</span></samp>. Thus, when the same installation prefix is 288 used for both GCC and packages, GCC will automatically search for 289 both headers and libraries. This provides a configuration that is 290 easy to use. GCC behaves in a manner similar to that when it is 291 installed as a system compiler in <samp><span class="file">/usr</span></samp>. 292 293 <p>Sites that need to install multiple versions of GCC may not want to 294 use the above simple configuration. It is possible to use the 295 <samp><span class="option">--program-prefix</span></samp>, <samp><span class="option">--program-suffix</span></samp> and 296 <samp><span class="option">--program-transform-name</span></samp> options to install multiple versions 297 into a single directory, but it may be simpler to use different prefixes 298 and the <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp> option to specify the location of the 299 site-specific files for each version. It will then be necessary for 300 users to specify explicitly the location of local site libraries 301 (e.g., with <samp><span class="env">LIBRARY_PATH</span></samp>). 302 303 <p>The same value can be used for both <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp> and 304 <samp><span class="option">--prefix</span></samp> provided it is not <samp><span class="file">/usr</span></samp>. This can be used 305 to avoid the default search of <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/include</span></samp>. 306 307 <p><strong>Do not</strong> specify <samp><span class="file">/usr</span></samp> as the <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp>! 308 The directory you use for <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp> <strong>must not</strong> 309 contain any of the system's standard header files. If it did contain 310 them, certain programs would be miscompiled (including GNU Emacs, on 311 certain targets), because this would override and nullify the header 312 file corrections made by the <samp><span class="command">fixincludes</span></samp> script. 313 314 <p>Indications are that people who use this option use it based on mistaken 315 ideas of what it is for. People use it as if it specified where to 316 install part of GCC. Perhaps they make this assumption because 317 installing GCC creates the directory. 318 319 <br><dt><code>--with-native-system-header-dir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specifies that <var>dirname</var> is the directory that contains native system 320 header files, rather than <samp><span class="file">/usr/include</span></samp>. This option is most useful 321 if you are creating a compiler that should be isolated from the system 322 as much as possible. It is most commonly used with the 323 <samp><span class="option">--with-sysroot</span></samp> option and will cause GCC to search 324 <var>dirname</var> inside the system root specified by that option. 325 326 <br><dt><code>--enable-shared[=</code><var>package</var><code>[,...]]</code><dd>Build shared versions of libraries, if shared libraries are supported on 327 the target platform. Unlike GCC 2.95.x and earlier, shared libraries 328 are enabled by default on all platforms that support shared libraries. 329 330 <p>If a list of packages is given as an argument, build shared libraries 331 only for the listed packages. For other packages, only static libraries 332 will be built. Package names currently recognized in the GCC tree are 333 ‘<samp><span class="samp">libgcc</span></samp>’ (also known as ‘<samp><span class="samp">gcc</span></samp>’), ‘<samp><span class="samp">libstdc++</span></samp>’ (not 334 ‘<samp><span class="samp">libstdc++-v3</span></samp>’), ‘<samp><span class="samp">libffi</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">zlib</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">boehm-gc</span></samp>’, 335 ‘<samp><span class="samp">ada</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">libada</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">libjava</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">libgo</span></samp>’, and ‘<samp><span class="samp">libobjc</span></samp>’. 336 Note ‘<samp><span class="samp">libiberty</span></samp>’ does not support shared libraries at all. 337 338 <p>Use <samp><span class="option">--disable-shared</span></samp> to build only static libraries. Note that 339 <samp><span class="option">--disable-shared</span></samp> does not accept a list of package names as 340 argument, only <samp><span class="option">--enable-shared</span></samp> does. 341 342 <p>Contrast with <samp><span class="option">--enable-host-shared</span></samp>, which affects <em>host</em> 343 code. 344 345 <br><dt><code>--enable-host-shared</code><dd>Specify that the <em>host</em> code should be built into position-independent 346 machine code (with -fPIC), allowing it to be used within shared libraries, 347 but yielding a slightly slower compiler. 348 349 <p>This option is required when building the libgccjit.so library. 350 351 <p>Contrast with <samp><span class="option">--enable-shared</span></samp>, which affects <em>target</em> 352 libraries. 353 354 <br><dt><code><a name="with_002dgnu_002das"></a>--with-gnu-as</code><dd>Specify that the compiler should assume that the 355 assembler it finds is the GNU assembler. However, this does not modify 356 the rules to find an assembler and will result in confusion if the 357 assembler found is not actually the GNU assembler.

Instead, it will use the 1361 <samp><span class="file">.class</span></samp> files from the source tree. If you use this option you 1362 must have executables named <samp><span class="command">ecj1</span></samp> and <samp><span class="command">gjavah</span></samp> in your path 1363 for use by the build. You must use this option if you intend to 1364 modify any <samp><span class="file">.java</span></samp> files in <samp><span class="file">libjava</span></samp>. 1365 1366 <br><dt><code>--with-java-home=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>This ‘<samp><span class="samp">libjava</span></samp>’ option overrides the default value of the 1367 ‘<samp><span class="samp">java.home</span></samp>’ system property. It is also used to set 1368 ‘<samp><span class="samp">sun.boot.class.path</span></samp>’ to <samp><var>dirname</var><span class="file">/lib/rt.jar</span></samp>. By 1369 default ‘<samp><span class="samp">java.home</span></samp>’ is set to <samp><var>prefix</var></samp> and 1370 ‘<samp><span class="samp">sun.boot.class.path</span></samp>’ to 1371 <samp><var>datadir</var><span class="file">/java/libgcj-</span><var>version</var><span class="file">.jar</span></samp>. 1372 1373 <br><dt><code>--with-ecj-jar=</code><var>filename</var><dd>This option can be used to specify the location of an external jar 1374 file containing the Eclipse Java compiler. A specially modified 1375 version of this compiler is used by <samp><span class="command">gcj</span></samp> to parse 1376 <samp><span class="file">.java</span></samp> source files. If this option is given, the 1377 ‘<samp><span class="samp">libjava</span></samp>’ build will create and install an <samp><span class="file">ecj1</span></samp> executable 1378 which uses this jar file at runtime. 1379 1380 <p>If this option is not given, but an <samp><span class="file">ecj.jar</span></samp> file is found in 1381 the topmost source tree at configure time, then the ‘<samp><span class="samp">libgcj</span></samp>’ 1382 build will create and install <samp><span class="file">ecj1</span></samp>, and will also install the 1383 discovered <samp><span class="file">ecj.jar</span></samp> into a suitable place in the install tree. 1384 1385 <p>If <samp><span class="file">ecj1</span></samp> is not installed, then the user will have to supply one 1386 on his path in order for <samp><span class="command">gcj</span></samp> to properly parse <samp><span class="file">.java</span></samp> 1387 source files. A suitable jar is available from 1388 <a href="ftp://sourceware.org/pub/java/">ftp://sourceware.org/pub/java/</a>. 1389 1390 <br><dt><code>--disable-getenv-properties</code><dd>Don't set system properties from <samp><span class="env">GCJ_PROPERTIES</span></samp>. 1391 1392 <br><dt><code>--enable-hash-synchronization</code><dd>Use a global hash table for monitor locks. Ordinarily, 1393 ‘<samp><span class="samp">libgcj</span></samp>’'s ‘<samp><span class="samp">configure</span></samp>’ script automatically makes 1394 the correct choice for this option for your platform. Only use 1395 this if you know you need the library to be configured differently. 1396 1397 <br><dt><code>--enable-interpreter</code><dd>Enable the Java interpreter. The interpreter is automatically 1398 enabled by default on all platforms that support it. This option 1399 is really only useful if you want to disable the interpreter 1400 (using <samp><span class="option">--disable-interpreter</span></samp>). 1401 1402 <br><dt><code>--disable-java-net</code><dd>Disable java.net. This disables the native part of java.net only, 1403 using non-functional stubs for native method implementations. 1404 1405 <br><dt><code>--disable-jvmpi</code><dd>Disable JVMPI support. 1406 1407 <br><dt><code>--disable-libgcj-bc</code><dd>Disable BC ABI compilation of certain parts of libgcj. By default, 1408 some portions of libgcj are compiled with <samp><span class="option">-findirect-dispatch</span></samp> 1409 and <samp><span class="option">-fno-indirect-classes</span></samp>, allowing them to be overridden at 1410 run-time. 1411 1412 <p>If <samp><span class="option">--disable-libgcj-bc</span></samp> is specified, libgcj is built without 1413 these options. This allows the compile-time linker to resolve 1414 dependencies when statically linking to libgcj. However it makes it 1415 impossible to override the affected portions of libgcj at run-time. 1416 1417 <br><dt><code>--enable-reduced-reflection</code><dd>Build most of libgcj with <samp><span class="option">-freduced-reflection</span></samp>. This reduces 1418 the size of libgcj at the expense of not being able to do accurate 1419 reflection on the classes it contains. This option is safe if you 1420 know that code using libgcj will never use reflection on the standard 1421 runtime classes in libgcj (including using serialization, RMI or CORBA). 1422 1423 <br><dt><code>--with-ecos</code><dd>Enable runtime eCos target support. 1424 1425 <br><dt><code>--without-libffi</code><dd>Don't use ‘<samp><span class="samp">libffi</span></samp>’. This will disable the interpreter and JNI 1426 support as well, as these require ‘<samp><span class="samp">libffi</span></samp>’ to work. 1427 1428 <br><dt><code>--enable-libgcj-debug</code><dd>Enable runtime debugging code. 1429 1430 <br><dt><code>--enable-libgcj-multifile</code><dd>If specified, causes all <samp><span class="file">.java</span></samp> source files to be 1431 compiled into <samp><span class="file">.class</span></samp> files in one invocation of 1432 ‘<samp><span class="samp">gcj</span></samp>’. This can speed up build time, but is more 1433 resource-intensive. If this option is unspecified or 1434 disabled, ‘<samp><span class="samp">gcj</span></samp>’ is invoked once for each <samp><span class="file">.java</span></samp> 1435 file to compile into a <samp><span class="file">.class</span></samp> file. 1436 1437 <br><dt><code>--with-libiconv-prefix=DIR</code><dd>Search for libiconv in <samp><span class="file">DIR/include</span></samp> and <samp><span class="file">DIR/lib</span></samp>. 1438 1439 <br><dt><code>--with-system-zlib</code><dd>Use installed ‘<samp><span class="samp">zlib</span></samp>’ rather than that included with GCC. 1440 1441 <br><dt><code>--with-win32-nlsapi=ansi, unicows or unicode</code><dd>Indicates how MinGW ‘<samp><span class="samp">libgcj</span></samp>’ translates between UNICODE 1442 characters and the Win32 API. 1443 1444 <br><dt><code>--enable-java-home</code><dd>If enabled, this creates a JPackage compatible SDK environment during install. 1445 Note that if –enable-java-home is used, –with-arch-directory=ARCH must also 1446 be specified. 1447 1448 <br><dt><code>--with-arch-directory=ARCH</code><dd>Specifies the name to use for the <samp><span class="file">jre/lib/ARCH</span></samp> directory in the SDK 1449 environment created when –enable-java-home is passed. Typical names for this 1450 directory include i386, amd64, ia64, etc. 1451 1452 <br><dt><code>--with-os-directory=DIR</code><dd>Specifies the OS directory for the SDK include directory. This is set to auto 1453 detect, and is typically 'linux'. 1454 1455 <br><dt><code>--with-origin-name=NAME</code><dd>Specifies the JPackage origin name. This defaults to the 'gcj' in 1456 java-1.5.0-gcj. 1457 1458 <br><dt><code>--with-arch-suffix=SUFFIX</code><dd>Specifies the suffix for the sdk directory. Defaults to the empty string. 1459 Examples include '.x86_64' in 'java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0.x86_64'. 1460 1461 <br><dt><code>--with-jvm-root-dir=DIR</code><dd>Specifies where to install the SDK. Default is $(prefix)/lib/jvm. 1462 1463 <br><dt><code>--with-jvm-jar-dir=DIR</code><dd>Specifies where to install jars. Default is $(prefix)/lib/jvm-exports. 1464 1465 <br><dt><code>--with-python-dir=DIR</code><dd>Specifies where to install the Python modules used for aot-compile. DIR should 1466 not include the prefix used in installation. For example, if the Python modules 1467 are to be installed in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages, then 1468 –with-python-dir=/lib/python2.5/site-packages should be passed. If this is 1469 not specified, then the Python modules are installed in $(prefix)/share/python. 1470 1471 <br><dt><code>--enable-aot-compile-rpm</code><dd>Adds aot-compile-rpm to the list of installed scripts. 1472 1473 <br><dt><code>--enable-browser-plugin</code><dd>Build the gcjwebplugin web browser plugin. 1474 1475 <br><dt><code>--enable-static-libjava</code><dd>Build static libraries in libjava. The default is to only build shared 1476 libraries. 1477 1478 <dl> 1479 <dt><code>ansi</code><dd>Use the single-byte <code>char</code> and the Win32 A functions natively, 1480 translating to and from UNICODE when using these functions. If 1481 unspecified, this is the default. 1482 1483 <br><dt><code>unicows</code><dd>Use the <code>WCHAR</code> and Win32 W functions natively. Adds 1484 <code>-lunicows</code> to <samp><span class="file">libgcj.spec</span></samp> to link with ‘<samp><span class="samp">libunicows</span></samp>’. 1485 <samp><span class="file">unicows.dll</span></samp> needs to be deployed on Microsoft Windows 9X machines 1486 running built executables. <samp><span class="file">libunicows.a</span></samp>, an open-source 1487 import library around Microsoft's <code>unicows.dll</code>, is obtained from 1488 <a href="http://libunicows.sourceforge.net/">http://libunicows.sourceforge.net/</a>, which also gives details 1489 on getting <samp><span class="file">unicows.dll</span></samp> from Microsoft. 1490 1491 <br><dt><code>unicode</code><dd>Use the <code>WCHAR</code> and Win32 W functions natively. Does <em>not</em> 1492 add <code>-lunicows</code> to <samp><span class="file">libgcj.spec</span></samp>.
