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 local header files in <samp>/usr/local/include</samp>—if you put 419 1.1 mrg any in that directory—are not part of GCC. They are part of other 420 1.1 mrg programs—perhaps many others.

Although these 425 1.1 mrg two directories are not fixed, they need to be searched in the proper 426 1.1 mrg order for the correct processing of the include_next directive. The 427 1.1 mrg local-prefix include directory is searched before the GCC-prefix 428 1.1 mrg include directory. Another characteristic of system include directories 429 1.1 mrg is that pedantic warnings are turned off for headers in these directories. 430 1.1.1.14 mrg </p> 431 1.1.1.14 mrg <p>Some autoconf macros add <samp>-I <var>directory</var></samp> options to the 432 1.1 mrg compiler command line, to ensure that directories containing installed 433 1.1.1.14 mrg packages’ headers are searched. When <var>directory</var> is one of GCC’s 434 1.1 mrg system include directories, GCC will ignore the option so that system 435 1.1 mrg directories continue to be processed in the correct order. This 436 1.1 mrg may result in a search order different from what was specified but the 437 1.1 mrg directory will still be searched. 438 1.1.1.14 mrg </p> 439 1.1.1.14 mrg <p>GCC automatically searches for ordinary libraries using 440 1.1.1.14 mrg <code>GCC_EXEC_PREFIX</code>. Thus, when the same installation prefix is 441 1.1 mrg used for both GCC and packages, GCC will automatically search for 442 1.1 mrg both headers and libraries. This provides a configuration that is 443 1.1 mrg easy to use. GCC behaves in a manner similar to that when it is 444 1.1.1.14 mrg installed as a system compiler in <samp>/usr</samp>. 445 1.1.1.14 mrg </p> 446 1.1.1.14 mrg <p>Sites that need to install multiple versions of GCC may not want to 447 1.1 mrg use the above simple configuration. It is possible to use the 448 1.1.1.14 mrg <samp>--program-prefix</samp>, <samp>--program-suffix</samp> and 449 1.1.1.14 mrg <samp>--program-transform-name</samp> options to install multiple versions 450 1.1 mrg into a single directory, but it may be simpler to use different prefixes 451 1.1.1.14 mrg and the <samp>--with-local-prefix</samp> option to specify the location of the 452 1.1 mrg site-specific files for each version. It will then be necessary for 453 1.1 mrg users to specify explicitly the location of local site libraries 454 1.1.1.14 mrg (e.g., with <code>LIBRARY_PATH</code>). 455 1.1.1.14 mrg </p> 456 1.1.1.14 mrg <p>The same value can be used for both <samp>--with-local-prefix</samp> and 457 1.1.1.14 mrg <samp>--prefix</samp> provided it is not <samp>/usr</samp>.
