Using these can lead to various sorts of build 102 1.1.1.14 mrg problems. To avoid this issue, set the <code>PWDCMD</code> environment 103 1.1.1.14 mrg variable to an automounter-aware <code>pwd</code> command, e.g., 104 1.1.1.14 mrg <code>pawd</code> or ‘<samp>amq -w</samp>’, during the configuration and build 105 1.1 mrg phases. 106 1.1.1.14 mrg </p> 107 1.1.1.14 mrg <p>First, we <strong>highly</strong> recommend that GCC be built into a 108 1.1 mrg separate directory from the sources which does <strong>not</strong> reside 109 1.1 mrg within the source tree. This is how we generally build GCC; building 110 1.1.1.14 mrg where <var>srcdir</var> == <var>objdir</var> should still work, but doesn’t 111 1.1 mrg get extensive testing; building where <var>objdir</var> is a subdirectory 112 1.1 mrg of <var>srcdir</var> is unsupported. 113 1.1.1.14 mrg </p> 114 1.1.1.14 mrg <p>If you have previously built GCC in the same directory for a 115 1.1.1.14 mrg different target machine, do ‘<samp>make distclean</samp>’ to delete all files 116 1.1.1.14 mrg that might be invalid. One of the files this deletes is <samp>Makefile</samp>; 117 1.1.1.14 mrg if ‘<samp>make distclean</samp>’ complains that <samp>Makefile</samp> does not exist 118 1.1.1.14 mrg or issues a message like “don’t know how to make distclean” it probably 119 1.1 mrg means that the directory is already suitably clean. However, with the 120 1.1 mrg recommended method of building in a separate <var>objdir</var>, you should 121 1.1 mrg simply use a different <var>objdir</var> for each target. 122 1.1.1.14 mrg </p> 123 1.1.1.14 mrg <p>Second, when configuring a native system, either <code>cc</code> or 124 1.1.1.14 mrg <code>gcc</code> must be in your path or you must set <code>CC</code> in 125 1.1 mrg your environment before running configure.

The 380 1.1 mrg local-prefix include directory is searched before the GCC-prefix 381 1.1 mrg include directory. Another characteristic of system include directories 382 1.1 mrg is that pedantic warnings are turned off for headers in these directories. 383 1.1.1.14 mrg </p> 384 1.1.1.14 mrg <p>Some autoconf macros add <samp>-I <var>directory</var></samp> options to the 385 1.1 mrg compiler command line, to ensure that directories containing installed 386 1.1.1.14 mrg packages’ headers are searched. When <var>directory</var> is one of GCC’s 387 1.1 mrg system include directories, GCC will ignore the option so that system 388 1.1 mrg directories continue to be processed in the correct order.

It will then be necessary for 406 1.1 mrg users to specify explicitly the location of local site libraries 407 1.1.1.14 mrg (e.g., with <code>LIBRARY_PATH</code>). 408 1.1.1.14 mrg </p> 409 1.1.1.14 mrg <p>The same value can be used for both <samp>--with-local-prefix</samp> and 410 1.1.1.14 mrg <samp>--prefix</samp> provided it is not <samp>/usr</samp>.
