45 1.1 mrg <a name="index-Configuration-1"></a><a name="index-Installing-GCC_003a-Configuration-2"></a>
46 1.1 mrg Like most GNU software, GCC must be configured before it can be built.
47 1.1 mrg This document describes the recommended configuration procedure
48 1.1 mrg for both native and cross targets.
49 1.1 mrg
50 1.1 mrg <p>We use <var>srcdir</var> to refer to the toplevel source directory for
51 1.1 mrg GCC; we use <var>objdir</var> to refer to the toplevel build/object directory.
52 1.1 mrg
53 1.1 mrg <p>If you obtained the sources via SVN, <var>srcdir</var> must refer to the top
54 1.1 mrg <samp><span class="file">gcc</span></samp> directory, the one where the <samp><span class="file">MAINTAINERS</span></samp> file can be
55 1.1 mrg found, and not its <samp><span class="file">gcc</span></samp> subdirectory, otherwise the build will fail.
56 1.1 mrg
57 1.1 mrg <p>If either <var>srcdir</var> or <var>objdir</var> is located on an automounted NFS
58 1.1 mrg file system, the shell's built-in <samp><span class="command">pwd</span></samp> command will return
59 1.1 mrg temporary pathnames. Using these can lead to various sorts of build
60 1.1 mrg problems. To avoid this issue, set the <samp><span class="env">PWDCMD</span></samp> environment
61 1.1 mrg variable to an automounter-aware <samp><span class="command">pwd</span></samp> command, e.g.,
62 1.1 mrg <samp><span class="command">pawd</span></samp> or ‘<samp><span class="samp">amq -w</span></samp>’, during the configuration and build
63 1.1 mrg phases.
64 1.1 mrg
65 1.1 mrg <p>First, we <strong>highly</strong> recommend that GCC be built into a
66 1.1 mrg separate directory from the sources which does <strong>not</strong> reside
67 1.1 mrg within the source tree. This is how we generally build GCC; building
68 1.1 mrg where <var>srcdir</var> == <var>objdir</var> should still work, but doesn't
69 1.1 mrg get extensive testing; building where <var>objdir</var> is a subdirectory
70 1.1 mrg of <var>srcdir</var> is unsupported.
71 1.1 mrg
72 1.1 mrg <p>If you have previously built GCC in the same directory for a
73 1.1 mrg different target machine, do ‘<samp><span class="samp">make distclean</span></samp>’ to delete all files
74 1.1 mrg that might be invalid. One of the files this deletes is <samp><span class="file">Makefile</span></samp>;
75 1.1 mrg if ‘<samp><span class="samp">make distclean</span></samp>’ complains that <samp><span class="file">Makefile</span></samp> does not exist
76 1.1 mrg or issues a message like “don't know how to make distclean” it probably
77 1.1 mrg means that the directory is already suitably clean. However, with the
78 1.1 mrg recommended method of building in a separate <var>objdir</var>, you should
79 1.1 mrg simply use a different <var>objdir</var> for each target.
80 1.1 mrg
81 1.1 mrg <p>Second, when configuring a native system, either <samp><span class="command">cc</span></samp> or
82 1.1 mrg <samp><span class="command">gcc</span></samp> must be in your path or you must set <samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp> in
83 1.1 mrg your environment before running configure. Otherwise the configuration
84 1.1 mrg scripts may fail.
85 1.1 mrg
86 1.1 mrg <p>To configure GCC:
87 1.1 mrg
88 1.1 mrg <pre class="smallexample"> % mkdir <var>objdir</var>
89 1.1 mrg % cd <var>objdir</var>
90 1.1 mrg % <var>srcdir</var>/configure [<var>options</var>] [<var>target</var>]
91 1.1 mrg </pre>
92 1.1 mrg <h3 class="heading"><a name="TOC0"></a>Distributor options</h3>
93 1.1 mrg
94 1.1 mrg <p>If you will be distributing binary versions of GCC, with modifications
95 1.1 mrg to the source code, you should use the options described in this
96 1.1 mrg section to make clear that your version contains modifications.
97 1.1 mrg
98 1.1 mrg <dl>
99 1.1 mrg <dt><code>--with-pkgversion=</code><var>version</var><dd>Specify a string that identifies your package. You may wish
100 1.1 mrg to include a build number or build date. This version string will be
101 1.1 mrg included in the output of <samp><span class="command">gcc --version</span></samp>. This suffix does
102 1.1 mrg not replace the default version string, only the ‘<samp><span class="samp">GCC</span></samp>’ part.
103 1.1 mrg
104 1.1 mrg <p>The default value is ‘<samp><span class="samp">GCC</span></samp>’.
105 1.1 mrg
106 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--with-bugurl=</code><var>url</var><dd>Specify the URL that users should visit if they wish to report a bug.
107 1.1 mrg You are of course welcome to forward bugs reported to you to the FSF,
108 1.1 mrg if you determine that they are not bugs in your modifications.
109 1.1 mrg
110 1.1 mrg <p>The default value refers to the FSF's GCC bug tracker.
111 1.1 mrg
112 1.1 mrg </dl>
113 1.1 mrg
114 1.1 mrg <h3 class="heading"><a name="TOC1"></a>Target specification</h3>
115 1.1 mrg
116 1.1 mrg <ul>
117 1.1 mrg <li>GCC has code to correctly determine the correct value for <var>target</var>
118 1.1 mrg for nearly all native systems. Therefore, we highly recommend you do
119 1.1 mrg not provide a configure target when configuring a native compiler.
120 1.1 mrg
121 1.1 mrg <li><var>target</var> must be specified as <samp><span class="option">--target=</span><var>target</var></samp>
122 1.1 mrg when configuring a cross compiler; examples of valid targets would be
123 1.1 mrg m68k-elf, sh-elf, etc.
124 1.1 mrg
125 1.1 mrg <li>Specifying just <var>target</var> instead of <samp><span class="option">--target=</span><var>target</var></samp>
126 1.1 mrg implies that the host defaults to <var>target</var>.
127 1.1 mrg </ul>
128 1.1 mrg
129 1.1 mrg <h3 class="heading"><a name="TOC2"></a>Options specification</h3>
130 1.1 mrg
131 1.1 mrg <p>Use <var>options</var> to override several configure time options for
132 1.1 mrg GCC. A list of supported <var>options</var> follows; ‘<samp><span class="samp">configure
133 1.1 mrg --help</span></samp>’ may list other options, but those not listed below may not
134 1.1 mrg work and should not normally be used.
135 1.1 mrg
136 1.1 mrg <p>Note that each <samp><span class="option">--enable</span></samp> option has a corresponding
137 1.1 mrg <samp><span class="option">--disable</span></samp> option and that each <samp><span class="option">--with</span></samp> option has a
138 1.1 mrg corresponding <samp><span class="option">--without</span></samp> option.
139 1.1 mrg
140 1.1 mrg <dl>
141 1.1 mrg <dt><code>--prefix=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the toplevel installation
142 1.1 mrg directory. This is the recommended way to install the tools into a directory
143 1.1 mrg other than the default. The toplevel installation directory defaults to
144 1.1 mrg <samp><span class="file">/usr/local</span></samp>.
145 1.1 mrg
146 1.1 mrg <p>We <strong>highly</strong> recommend against <var>dirname</var> being the same or a
147 1.1 mrg subdirectory of <var>objdir</var> or vice versa. If specifying a directory
148 1.1 mrg beneath a user's home directory tree, some shells will not expand
149 1.1 mrg <var>dirname</var> correctly if it contains the ‘<samp><span class="samp">~</span></samp>’ metacharacter; use
150 1.1 mrg <samp><span class="env">$HOME</span></samp> instead.
151 1.1 mrg
152 1.1 mrg <p>The following standard <samp><span class="command">autoconf</span></samp> options are supported. Normally you
153 1.1 mrg should not need to use these options.
154 1.1 mrg <dl>
155 1.1 mrg <dt><code>--exec-prefix=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the toplevel installation directory for architecture-dependent
156 1.1 mrg files. The default is <samp><var>prefix</var></samp>.
157 1.1 mrg
158 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--bindir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for the executables called by users
159 1.1 mrg (such as <samp><span class="command">gcc</span></samp> and <samp><span class="command">g++</span></samp>). The default is
160 1.1 mrg <samp><var>exec-prefix</var><span class="file">/bin</span></samp>.
161 1.1 mrg
162 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--libdir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for object code libraries and
163 1.1 mrg internal data files of GCC. The default is <samp><var>exec-prefix</var><span class="file">/lib</span></samp>.
164 1.1 mrg
165 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--libexecdir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for internal executables of GCC.
166 1.1 mrg The default is <samp><var>exec-prefix</var><span class="file">/libexec</span></samp>.
167 1.1 mrg
168 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--with-slibdir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for the shared libgcc library. The
169 1.1 mrg default is <samp><var>libdir</var></samp>.
170 1.1 mrg
171 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--datarootdir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the root of the directory tree for read-only architecture-independent
172 1.1 mrg data files referenced by GCC. The default is <samp><var>prefix</var><span class="file">/share</span></samp>.
173 1.1 mrg
174 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--infodir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for documentation in info format.
175 1.1 mrg The default is <samp><var>datarootdir</var><span class="file">/info</span></samp>.
176 1.1 mrg
177 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--datadir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for some architecture-independent
178 1.1 mrg data files referenced by GCC. The default is <samp><var>datarootdir</var></samp>.
179 1.1 mrg
180 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--docdir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for documentation files (other
181 1.1 mrg than Info) for GCC. The default is <samp><var>datarootdir</var><span class="file">/doc</span></samp>.
182 1.1 mrg
183 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--htmldir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for HTML documentation files.
184 1.1 mrg The default is <samp><var>docdir</var></samp>.
185 1.1 mrg
186 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--pdfdir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for PDF documentation files.
187 1.1 mrg The default is <samp><var>docdir</var></samp>.
188 1.1 mrg
189 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--mandir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the installation directory for manual pages. The default is
190 1.1 mrg <samp><var>datarootdir</var><span class="file">/man</span></samp>. (Note that the manual pages are only extracts
191 1.1 mrg from the full GCC manuals, which are provided in Texinfo format. The manpages
192 1.1 mrg are derived by an automatic conversion process from parts of the full
193 1.1 mrg manual.)
194 1.1 mrg
195 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--with-gxx-include-dir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify
196 1.1 mrg the installation directory for G++ header files. The default depends
197 1.1 mrg on other configuration options, and differs between cross and native
198 1.1 mrg configurations.
199 1.1 mrg
200 1.1 mrg </dl>
201 1.1 mrg
202 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--program-prefix=</code><var>prefix</var><dd>GCC supports some transformations of the names of its programs when
203 1.1 mrg installing them. This option prepends <var>prefix</var> to the names of
204 1.1 mrg programs to install in <var>bindir</var> (see above). For example, specifying
205 1.1 mrg <samp><span class="option">--program-prefix=foo-</span></samp> would result in ‘<samp><span class="samp">gcc</span></samp>’
206 1.1 mrg being installed as <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/bin/foo-gcc</span></samp>.
207 1.1 mrg
208 1.1 mrg <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>
209 1.1 mrg (see above). For example, specifying <samp><span class="option">--program-suffix=-3.1</span></samp>
210 1.1 mrg would result in ‘<samp><span class="samp">gcc</span></samp>’ being installed as
211 1.1 mrg <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/bin/gcc-3.1</span></samp>.
212 1.1 mrg
213 1.1 mrg <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
214 1.1 mrg of programs to install in <var>bindir</var> (see above). <var>pattern</var> has to
215 1.1 mrg consist of one or more basic ‘<samp><span class="samp">sed</span></samp>’ editing commands, separated by
216 1.1 mrg semicolons. For example, if you want the ‘<samp><span class="samp">gcc</span></samp>’ program name to be
217 1.1 mrg transformed to the installed program <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/bin/myowngcc</span></samp> and
218 1.1 mrg the ‘<samp><span class="samp">g++</span></samp>’ program name to be transformed to
219 1.1 mrg <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/bin/gspecial++</span></samp> without changing other program names,
220 1.1 mrg you could use the pattern
221 1.1 mrg <samp><span class="option">--program-transform-name='s/^gcc$/myowngcc/; s/^g++$/gspecial++/'</span></samp>
222 1.1 mrg to achieve this effect.
223 1.1 mrg
224 1.1 mrg <p>All three options can be combined and used together, resulting in more
225 1.1 mrg complex conversion patterns. As a basic rule, <var>prefix</var> (and
226 1.1 mrg <var>suffix</var>) are prepended (appended) before further transformations
227 1.1 mrg can happen with a special transformation script <var>pattern</var>.
228 1.1 mrg
229 1.1 mrg <p>As currently implemented, this option only takes effect for native
230 1.1 mrg builds; cross compiler binaries' names are not transformed even when a
231 1.1 mrg transformation is explicitly asked for by one of these options.
232 1.1 mrg
233 1.1 mrg <p>For native builds, some of the installed programs are also installed
234 1.1 mrg with the target alias in front of their name, as in
235 1.1 mrg ‘<samp><span class="samp">i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc</span></samp>’. All of the above transformations happen
236 1.1 mrg before the target alias is prepended to the name—so, specifying
237 1.1 mrg <samp><span class="option">--program-prefix=foo-</span></samp> and <samp><span class="option">program-suffix=-3.1</span></samp>, the
238 1.1 mrg resulting binary would be installed as
239 1.1 mrg <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-foo-gcc-3.1</span></samp>.
240 1.1 mrg
241 1.1 mrg <p>As a last shortcoming, none of the installed Ada programs are
242 1.1 mrg transformed yet, which will be fixed in some time.
243 1.1 mrg
244 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--with-local-prefix=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the
245 1.1 mrg installation directory for local include files. The default is
246 1.1 mrg <samp><span class="file">/usr/local</span></samp>. Specify this option if you want the compiler to
247 1.1 mrg search directory <samp><var>dirname</var><span class="file">/include</span></samp> for locally installed
248 1.1 mrg header files <em>instead</em> of <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/include</span></samp>.
249 1.1 mrg
250 1.1 mrg <p>You should specify <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp> <strong>only</strong> if your
251 1.1 mrg site has a different convention (not <samp><span class="file">/usr/local</span></samp>) for where to put
252 1.1 mrg site-specific files.
253 1.1 mrg
254 1.1 mrg <p>The default value for <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp> is <samp><span class="file">/usr/local</span></samp>
255 1.1 mrg regardless of the value of <samp><span class="option">--prefix</span></samp>. Specifying
256 1.1 mrg <samp><span class="option">--prefix</span></samp> has no effect on which directory GCC searches for
257 1.1 mrg local header files. This may seem counterintuitive, but actually it is
258 1.1 mrg logical.
259 1.1 mrg
260 1.1 mrg <p>The purpose of <samp><span class="option">--prefix</span></samp> is to specify where to <em>install
261 1.1 mrg GCC</em>. The local header files in <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/include</span></samp>—if you put
262 1.1 mrg any in that directory—are not part of GCC. They are part of other
263 1.1 mrg programs—perhaps many others. (GCC installs its own header files in
264 1.1 mrg another directory which is based on the <samp><span class="option">--prefix</span></samp> value.)
265 1.1 mrg
266 1.1 mrg <p>Both the local-prefix include directory and the GCC-prefix include
267 1.1 mrg directory are part of GCC's “system include” directories. Although these
268 1.1 mrg two directories are not fixed, they need to be searched in the proper
269 1.1 mrg order for the correct processing of the include_next directive. The
270 1.1 mrg local-prefix include directory is searched before the GCC-prefix
271 1.1 mrg include directory. Another characteristic of system include directories
272 1.1 mrg is that pedantic warnings are turned off for headers in these directories.
273 1.1 mrg
274 1.1 mrg <p>Some autoconf macros add <samp><span class="option">-I </span><var>directory</var></samp> options to the
275 1.1 mrg compiler command line, to ensure that directories containing installed
276 1.1 mrg packages' headers are searched. When <var>directory</var> is one of GCC's
277 1.1 mrg system include directories, GCC will ignore the option so that system
278 1.1 mrg directories continue to be processed in the correct order. This
279 1.1 mrg may result in a search order different from what was specified but the
280 1.1 mrg directory will still be searched.
281 1.1 mrg
282 1.1 mrg <p>GCC automatically searches for ordinary libraries using
283 1.1 mrg <samp><span class="env">GCC_EXEC_PREFIX</span></samp>. Thus, when the same installation prefix is
284 1.1 mrg used for both GCC and packages, GCC will automatically search for
285 1.1 mrg both headers and libraries. This provides a configuration that is
286 1.1 mrg easy to use. GCC behaves in a manner similar to that when it is
287 1.1 mrg installed as a system compiler in <samp><span class="file">/usr</span></samp>.
288 1.1 mrg
289 1.1 mrg <p>Sites that need to install multiple versions of GCC may not want to
290 1.1 mrg use the above simple configuration. It is possible to use the
291 1.1 mrg <samp><span class="option">--program-prefix</span></samp>, <samp><span class="option">--program-suffix</span></samp> and
292 1.1 mrg <samp><span class="option">--program-transform-name</span></samp> options to install multiple versions
293 1.1 mrg into a single directory, but it may be simpler to use different prefixes
294 1.1 mrg and the <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp> option to specify the location of the
295 1.1 mrg site-specific files for each version. It will then be necessary for
296 1.1 mrg users to specify explicitly the location of local site libraries
297 1.1 mrg (e.g., with <samp><span class="env">LIBRARY_PATH</span></samp>).
298 1.1 mrg

1064 1.1 mrg ‘<samp><span class="samp">libgcj</span></samp>’'s ‘<samp><span class="samp">configure</span></samp>’ script automatically makes
1065 1.1 mrg the correct choice for this option for your platform. Only use
1066 1.1 mrg this if you know you need the library to be configured differently.
1067 1.1 mrg
1068 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--enable-interpreter</code><dd>Enable the Java interpreter. The interpreter is automatically
1069 1.1 mrg enabled by default on all platforms that support it. This option
1070 1.1 mrg is really only useful if you want to disable the interpreter
1071 1.1 mrg (using <samp><span class="option">--disable-interpreter</span></samp>).
1072 1.1 mrg
1073 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--disable-java-net</code><dd>Disable java.net. This disables the native part of java.net only,
1074 1.1 mrg using non-functional stubs for native method implementations.
1075 1.1 mrg
1076 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--disable-jvmpi</code><dd>Disable JVMPI support.
1077 1.1 mrg
1078 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--disable-libgcj-bc</code><dd>Disable BC ABI compilation of certain parts of libgcj. By default,
1079 1.1 mrg some portions of libgcj are compiled with <samp><span class="option">-findirect-dispatch</span></samp>
1080 1.1 mrg and <samp><span class="option">-fno-indirect-classes</span></samp>, allowing them to be overridden at
1081 1.1 mrg run-time.
1082 1.1 mrg
1083 1.1 mrg <p>If <samp><span class="option">--disable-libgcj-bc</span></samp> is specified, libgcj is built without
1084 1.1 mrg these options. This allows the compile-time linker to resolve
1085 1.1 mrg dependencies when statically linking to libgcj. However it makes it
1086 1.1 mrg impossible to override the affected portions of libgcj at run-time.
1087 1.1 mrg
1088 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--enable-reduced-reflection</code><dd>Build most of libgcj with <samp><span class="option">-freduced-reflection</span></samp>. This reduces
1089 1.1 mrg the size of libgcj at the expense of not being able to do accurate
1090 1.1 mrg reflection on the classes it contains. This option is safe if you
1091 1.1 mrg know that code using libgcj will never use reflection on the standard
1092 1.1 mrg runtime classes in libgcj (including using serialization, RMI or CORBA).
1093 1.1 mrg
1094 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--with-ecos</code><dd>Enable runtime eCos target support.
1095 1.1 mrg
1096 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--without-libffi</code><dd>Don't use ‘<samp><span class="samp">libffi</span></samp>’. This will disable the interpreter and JNI
1097 1.1 mrg support as well, as these require ‘<samp><span class="samp">libffi</span></samp>’ to work.
1098 1.1 mrg
1099 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--enable-libgcj-debug</code><dd>Enable runtime debugging code.
1100 1.1 mrg
1101 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--enable-libgcj-multifile</code><dd>If specified, causes all <samp><span class="file">.java</span></samp> source files to be
1102 1.1 mrg compiled into <samp><span class="file">.class</span></samp> files in one invocation of
1103 1.1 mrg ‘<samp><span class="samp">gcj</span></samp>’. This can speed up build time, but is more
1104 1.1 mrg resource-intensive. If this option is unspecified or
1105 1.1 mrg disabled, ‘<samp><span class="samp">gcj</span></samp>’ is invoked once for each <samp><span class="file">.java</span></samp>
1106 1.1 mrg file to compile into a <samp><span class="file">.class</span></samp> file.
1107 1.1 mrg
1108 1.1 mrg <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>.
1109 1.1 mrg
1110 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--enable-sjlj-exceptions</code><dd>Force use of the <code>setjmp</code>/<code>longjmp</code>-based scheme for exceptions.
1111 1.1 mrg ‘<samp><span class="samp">configure</span></samp>’ ordinarily picks the correct value based on the platform.
1112 1.1 mrg Only use this option if you are sure you need a different setting.
1113 1.1 mrg
1114 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--with-system-zlib</code><dd>Use installed ‘<samp><span class="samp">zlib</span></samp>’ rather than that included with GCC.
1115 1.1 mrg
1116 1.1 mrg <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
1117 1.1 mrg characters and the Win32 API.
1118 1.1 mrg
1119 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--enable-java-home</code><dd>If enabled, this creates a JPackage compatible SDK environment during install.
1120 1.1 mrg Note that if –enable-java-home is used, –with-arch-directory=ARCH must also
1121 1.1 mrg be specified.
1122 1.1 mrg
1123 1.1 mrg <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
1124 1.1 mrg environment created when –enable-java-home is passed. Typical names for this
1125 1.1 mrg directory include i386, amd64, ia64, etc.
1126 1.1 mrg
1127 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--with-os-directory=DIR</code><dd>Specifies the OS directory for the SDK include directory. This is set to auto
1128 1.1 mrg detect, and is typically 'linux'.
1129 1.1 mrg
1130 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--with-origin-name=NAME</code><dd>Specifies the JPackage origin name. This defaults to the 'gcj' in
1131 1.1 mrg java-1.5.0-gcj.
1132 1.1 mrg
1133 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--with-arch-suffix=SUFFIX</code><dd>Specifies the suffix for the sdk directory. Defaults to the empty string.
1134 1.1 mrg Examples include '.x86_64' in 'java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0.x86_64'.
1135 1.1 mrg
1136 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--with-jvm-root-dir=DIR</code><dd>Specifies where to install the SDK. Default is $(prefix)/lib/jvm.

1138 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--with-jvm-jar-dir=DIR</code><dd>Specifies where to install jars. Default is $(prefix)/lib/jvm-exports.
1139 1.1 mrg
1140 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--with-python-dir=DIR</code><dd>Specifies where to install the Python modules used for aot-compile. DIR should
1141 1.1 mrg not include the prefix used in installation. For example, if the Python modules
1142 1.1 mrg are to be installed in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages, then
1143 1.1 mrg –with-python-dir=/lib/python2.5/site-packages should be passed. If this is
1144 1.1 mrg not specified, then the Python modules are installed in $(prefix)/share/python.
1145 1.1 mrg
1146 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>--enable-aot-compile-rpm</code><dd>Adds aot-compile-rpm to the list of installed scripts.

1151 1.1 mrg <dt><code>ansi</code><dd>Use the single-byte <code>char</code> and the Win32 A functions natively,
1152 1.1 mrg translating to and from UNICODE when using these functions. If
1153 1.1 mrg unspecified, this is the default.
1154 1.1 mrg
1155 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>unicows</code><dd>Use the <code>WCHAR</code> and Win32 W functions natively. Adds
1156 1.1 mrg <code>-lunicows</code> to <samp><span class="file">libgcj.spec</span></samp> to link with ‘<samp><span class="samp">libunicows</span></samp>’.
1157 1.1 mrg <samp><span class="file">unicows.dll</span></samp> needs to be deployed on Microsoft Windows 9X machines
1158 1.1 mrg running built executables. <samp><span class="file">libunicows.a</span></samp>, an open-source
1159 1.1 mrg import library around Microsoft's <code>unicows.dll</code>, is obtained from
1160 1.1 mrg <a href="http://libunicows.sourceforge.net/">http://libunicows.sourceforge.net/</a>, which also gives details
1161 1.1 mrg on getting <samp><span class="file">unicows.dll</span></samp> from Microsoft.
1162 1.1 mrg
1163 1.1 mrg <br><dt><code>unicode</code><dd>Use the <code>WCHAR</code> and Win32 W functions natively. Does <em>not</em>
1164 1.1 mrg add <code>-lunicows</code> to <samp><span class="file">libgcj.spec</span></samp>. The built executables will
