Using these can lead to various sorts of build 101 1.7.2.1 pgoyette problems. To avoid this issue, set the <code>PWDCMD</code> environment 102 1.7.2.1 pgoyette variable to an automounter-aware <code>pwd</code> command, e.g., 103 1.7.2.1 pgoyette <code>pawd</code> or ‘<samp>amq -w</samp>’, during the configuration and build 104 1.1 mrg phases. 105 1.7.2.1 pgoyette </p> 106 1.7.2.1 pgoyette <p>First, we <strong>highly</strong> recommend that GCC be built into a 107 1.1 mrg separate directory from the sources which does <strong>not</strong> reside 108 1.1 mrg within the source tree. This is how we generally build GCC; building 109 1.7.2.1 pgoyette where <var>srcdir</var> == <var>objdir</var> should still work, but doesn’t 110 1.1 mrg get extensive testing; building where <var>objdir</var> is a subdirectory 111 1.1 mrg of <var>srcdir</var> is unsupported. 112 1.7.2.1 pgoyette </p> 113 1.7.2.1 pgoyette <p>If you have previously built GCC in the same directory for a 114 1.7.2.1 pgoyette different target machine, do ‘<samp>make distclean</samp>’ to delete all files 115 1.7.2.1 pgoyette that might be invalid. One of the files this deletes is <samp>Makefile</samp>; 116 1.7.2.1 pgoyette if ‘<samp>make distclean</samp>’ complains that <samp>Makefile</samp> does not exist 117 1.7.2.1 pgoyette or issues a message like “don’t know how to make distclean” it probably 118 1.1 mrg means that the directory is already suitably clean. However, with the 119 1.1 mrg recommended method of building in a separate <var>objdir</var>, you should 120 1.1 mrg simply use a different <var>objdir</var> for each target. 121 1.7.2.1 pgoyette </p> 122 1.7.2.1 pgoyette <p>Second, when configuring a native system, either <code>cc</code> or 123 1.7.2.1 pgoyette <code>gcc</code> must be in your path or you must set <code>CC</code> in 124 1.1 mrg your environment before running configure.

Although these 362 1.1 mrg two directories are not fixed, they need to be searched in the proper 363 1.1 mrg order for the correct processing of the include_next directive. The 364 1.1 mrg local-prefix include directory is searched before the GCC-prefix 365 1.1 mrg include directory. Another characteristic of system include directories 366 1.1 mrg is that pedantic warnings are turned off for headers in these directories. 367 1.7.2.1 pgoyette </p> 368 1.7.2.1 pgoyette <p>Some autoconf macros add <samp>-I <var>directory</var></samp> options to the 369 1.1 mrg compiler command line, to ensure that directories containing installed 370 1.7.2.1 pgoyette packages’ headers are searched. When <var>directory</var> is one of GCC’s 371 1.1 mrg system include directories, GCC will ignore the option so that system 372 1.1 mrg directories continue to be processed in the correct order. This 373 1.1 mrg may result in a search order different from what was specified but the 374 1.1 mrg directory will still be searched. 375 1.7.2.1 pgoyette </p> 376 1.7.2.1 pgoyette <p>GCC automatically searches for ordinary libraries using 377 1.7.2.1 pgoyette <code>GCC_EXEC_PREFIX</code>. Thus, when the same installation prefix is 378 1.1 mrg used for both GCC and packages, GCC will automatically search for 379 1.1 mrg both headers and libraries. This provides a configuration that is 380 1.1 mrg easy to use. GCC behaves in a manner similar to that when it is 381 1.7.2.1 pgoyette installed as a system compiler in <samp>/usr</samp>. 382 1.7.2.1 pgoyette </p> 383 1.7.2.1 pgoyette <p>Sites that need to install multiple versions of GCC may not want to 384 1.1 mrg use the above simple configuration. It is possible to use the 385 1.7.2.1 pgoyette <samp>--program-prefix</samp>, <samp>--program-suffix</samp> and 386 1.7.2.1 pgoyette <samp>--program-transform-name</samp> options to install multiple versions 387 1.1 mrg into a single directory, but it may be simpler to use different prefixes 388 1.7.2.1 pgoyette and the <samp>--with-local-prefix</samp> option to specify the location of the 389 1.1 mrg site-specific files for each version. It will then be necessary for 390 1.1 mrg users to specify explicitly the location of local site libraries 391 1.7.2.1 pgoyette (e.g., with <code>LIBRARY_PATH</code>). 392 1.7.2.1 pgoyette </p> 393 1.7.2.1 pgoyette <p>The same value can be used for both <samp>--with-local-prefix</samp> and 394 1.7.2.1 pgoyette <samp>--prefix</samp> provided it is not <samp>/usr</samp>.
