Without the upgrade, you can still compile your code, but @samp{gcc -g @dots{}} will not work. Any IBM RS/6000 customer can order and get the replacement assembler, and install it on one or more machines. It is distributed both on diskette and via VNET, for downloading via ftp. VNET distribution may be desirable if you have a friendly IBM representative nearby with a networked VM machine. In either case, to order the replacement assembler from IBM, first execute @samp{lslpp -h bos.obj} to determine your release level. (Look on the @samp{ACTIVE} line for something like @samp{03.01.0005.0012}.) Then (in North America) call IBM Support at 800--237--5511. Ask for emergency shipment of the RS/6000 AIX fix for APAR IX22829. They may ask you to verify that it's a fix for ``@code{.extern foo} conflicts with defining @code{foo}''; say yes. They may also ask you for your customer number. If you do not know it, you will still be able to get the fix, but you will have to be persistent. You will receive a tar or tar.Z file containing an assembler plus installation instructions. If you tell them you're running AIX version 3.2, you may be told that no fix is available yet. In fact the 3.1.5 fix works fine on version 3.2. Request it anyway. IBM is working on a second upgrade to replace IX22829 and fix two more problems with debug information. There's no scheduled availability yet, but it's probably summer 1992. Ask for the fix for APAR IX26107, ``Don't allow @code{.csect name[BS]} or @code{[UC]}''. (Without the second upgrade, debugging works, but there may be occasional aberrations.) IBM has corresponding support organizations outside of North America. If you are not in North America, call your IBM branch office and ask them to put you in touch with the department that handles emergency fixes for AIX on the RS/6000. If that doesn't work, ask for the department that handles software defect support for AIX on the RS/6000. Then ask for the emergency APAR fix. @end ifset @ifset HOSTiris IRIX 4.0.1 (or later). @end ifset @c UPDATE! fill in OS for all supported platforms. @item Tape Drive You need access to a tape drive that can read the distribution tape. The tape drive need not be on the ||HOST|| where you want to run the software; but it is best if the machine with a tape drive and your ||HOST|| can mount a common file system. At the very least, you need some sort of file transfer capability between the machine with a tape drive and your ||HOST||. Cygnus release tapes are labelled to identify the kind of tape used; either ||TAPdflt|| tapes, or Exabyte tapes. @item Disk Space The total space required to extract and install binaries and source for all programs is ||DF|| megabytes. The software is configured to go into @file{/usr/cygnus}. If you have space available, but not in the same file system as @file{/usr}, you can use @samp{ln -s} to create @file{/usr/cygnus} as a symbolic link to the file system where you do have the space available. If you don't have enough space, you may be able to install binaries only; see @ref{Limited Space,,Not Enough Space}. The space required for installing the binaries on ||HOST|| systems is ||BD|| megabytes. @item Write Access You need to to sign on to an account with write access to @file{/usr}, or at least to an existing @file{/usr/cygnus} directory. If you can't write in @file{/usr} or @file{/usr/cygnus}, see @ref{No access,,No Access to @file{/usr/cygnus}}. Root access is @emph{not} necessary to run the installation itself; but you might need it briefly to arrange for a writable @file{/usr/cygnus} directory, and to build a symbolic link in @file{/usr} after the installation is complete. The detailed installation instructions show when this may be necessary. We recommend you avoid @samp{su root} whenever possible. @end table @node Installing, Examples, Requirements, Top @unnumbered Installing the Developer's Kit @iftex This note shows the different parts of examples like this: @table @asis @item @code{Computer output is shown in typewriter font.} @item @b{Your input is indicated by a sans-serif font.} @item @i{Comments appear in italic font}. @end table @end iftex In examples, we show the system prompt as @samp{eg$}. The Cygnus Progressive--||RELNO|| tape contains two separate @code{tar} files. The first file contains a script called @code{Install}; the second file contains the Progressive software. To get the software onto your system, you need to make sure you have the space you'll need for it, and get the @code{Install} script off the tape. Then you can use the @code{Install} script to choose what else to install. Here is more detail about what to do. Two checklists follow. The first checklist shows what to do if you have a tape drive on the same system (a ||HOST||) where you want to install the Developer's Kit; the second shows how to use another networked machine to read the tape, then finish the installation on your ||HOST||. Both checklists give the procedure for installing the Developer's Kit under @file{/usr/cygnus} (which can be a symbolic link from somewhere else, if you like). We recommend you use this location for the software, because the precompiled, ready-to-run versions of the tools are configured this way. (If you want to use a different location, and cannot establish a symbolic link from it to @file{/usr/cygnus}, please see @ref{Install-Options,,Installation Options}. To use the software conveniently after installing elsewhere, you should reconfigure and recompile from source; see @ref{Paths,,Changing the Paths}.) Both checklists are very similar to @ref{Brief,,Installing in Brief}, but provide more discussion of each step, and offer alternatives for tape drives, for systems whose available disk space is not in @code{/usr}, and for installing only portions of the Developer's Kit. @menu * local-install:: Installing with a local tape drive * cross-install:: Installing with another machine's tape drive @end menu @node local-install, cross-install, Installing, Installing @unnumberedsubsec Installing in @file{/usr/cygnus}, with a local tape drive This procedure is for a ||HOST|| that has its own tape drive. Installing this way will install all the source code, plus the binaries for the ||HOST||. If you don't want both source and binaries, stop after extracting @code{Install} from the tape, and read about what options you can use with @code{Install} in @ref{Install-Options,,Installation Options}. For examples of variations on what to install, @xref{Examples,,Installation Examples}. @enumerate @item find out the name of the @emph{non-rewinding} tape device on your machine that can read the release tape.

For instance: @cartouche @example eg$ @b{su root} password: @i{enter root password} # @b{mkdir /usr/cygnus} @i{ignore ``File exists'' error if any} # @b{chmod 777 /usr/cygnus} # @b{exit} @i{root access not needed beyond this} eg$ @end example @end cartouche If you don't have access to @code{root} or to any account with permission to write in @file{/usr} or @file{/usr/cygnus}, see @ref{No access,,No Access to @file{/usr/cygnus}}. @item Load the Cygnus Support release tape (labelled ``Progressive--||RELNO||'') into your system's tape drive. @item Extract the @code{Install} script (remember, @var{tape} stands for the device name for the appropriate tape drive on your system): @cartouche @example eg$ @b{cd /tmp} eg$ @b{tar xfv /dev/@var{tape} Install} @end example @end cartouche @c UPDATE! Check error messages from tar on non-Suns when supported If you get any error messages beginning ``tar: can't open'', check that the tape is correctly placed in your tape drive, and that you typed the right name for @var{tape}. It doesn't really matter where you put @code{Install}, though these examples assume @file{/tmp}. Don't worry about losing the script after you've done the install; when you extract anything from the tape, another copy of @code{Install} is saved (for future reference) in @file{/usr/cygnus/progressive-||RELNO||}. @quotation @emph{If you don't want both source and binaries, stop now,} and read about what options you can use with @code{Install} in @ref{Install-Options,,Installation Options}. For examples of variations on what to install, @xref{Examples,,Installation Examples}. @end quotation @item Now you can extract all the software by running @code{Install}. Use the @samp{-tape=} option to identify your tape drive: @cartouche @example eg$ @b{/tmp/Install -tape=/dev/@var{tape}} @end example @end cartouche This is a time-consuming step. @code{Install} will begin by using @code{tar} to extract software for your system, leaving a log in @file{/usr/cygnus/tar.log}. Then it prepares copies of your system header files, converted to comply with @sc{ansi} C (@pxref{Why-fixincludes,,Why Convert System Header Files?}); a log for this step goes in @file{/usr/cygnus/progressive-||RELNO||/fixincludes.log}. @emph{Your system's original header files are not changed;} @code{Install} writes the converted copies in a separate, @sc{gcc}-specific directory. As it executes, @code{Install} displays occasional messages to keep you informed about which of these steps it's executing. Among them, these messages mark completion of the major stages of installation: @cartouche @example Cygnus Support software distribution extracted! Fixed include files installed!

Please use the script @code{install_cid} to record your Cygnus customer ID in your copy of the problem report form. (You can find your customer ID in the cover letter that came with this release; or call the Cygnus hotline, @w{+1 415 322 7836}.)

However, for the long term, it is usually not a good idea to leave directories world-writable (especially directories where executables come from). For better security, remove public write access from @file{/usr/cygnus}. See your System Administrator for the correct permissions at your site. @end enumerate You're done!

However, for the long term, it is usually not a good idea to leave directories world-writable (especially directories where executables come from). For better security, remove public write access from @file{/usr/cygnus} and @file{@var{shr}/cygnus}. See your System Administrator for the correct permissions at your site. @end enumerate You're done! Anyone who puts @samp{/usr/progressive/bin} in her or his @code{PATH} can use the Developer's Kit. @node Examples, Install-Options, Installing, Top @unnumbered Installation Examples Once you've extracted @code{Install} from your tape, you can tell @code{Install} what software to install, what form of the programs you need, and what installation steps to do. Here are some examples covering common situations. For a full explanation of each possible @code{Install} argument, @pxref{Install-Options,,Installation Options}. @code{Install}'s default tape drive is @code{||DEVdflt||}, which is right for the most common cases (||TAPdflt|| tapes, read on ||HOST|| systems). If your tape drive is different, you need to use the @samp{-tape=/dev/@var{tape}} option; the examples show this option for completeness. Remember to specify a @emph{non-rewinding} tape device. @menu * binaries:: Installing binaries only * ||HOSTstr||-remote:: Reading tape on any machine, finishing on ||HOST|| * source-remove:: Removing Source @end menu @node binaries, ||HOSTstr||-remote, Examples, Examples @unnumberedsubsec Installing binaries only @ignore @c ignore til UPDATE fulfilled for all hosts.

Note that you have to say @samp{extract} on the @code{Install} command line. This alerts @code{Install} to stop the install procedure after it reads the tape. You still have to finish the installation, but the last two steps have to run on your ||HOST||. (If you forget, there's no great harm done: @code{Install} will notice that it can't carry out a full installation on the wrong machine, and will stop with an error message---then you can go back and try again. When @code{Install} notices a problem like this, it doesn't carry out @emph{any} action other than giving a helpful error message). The @samp{fixincludes} part of the installation is essential. Please see the full explanation (@pxref{Why-fixincludes,,Why Convert System Header Files?}), if you're curious. @node source-remove, , ||HOSTstr||-remote, Examples @unnumberedsubsec Removing Source The @code{Install} script can remove anything it can install. For example, if after installing the complete Developer's Kit on your machine you decide to remove the source files: @cartouche @example eg$ @b{cd /usr/cygnus/progressive-||RELNO||} eg$ @b{./Install remove source} @end example @end cartouche @noindent In general, to remove a part of the Developer's Kit, use the same @code{Install} command line that would extract that part, but add the keyword @code{remove}. The @code{-tape} option is not necessary for removing. @node Install-Options, Links, Examples, Top @unnumbered Installation Options There are two kinds of command-line arguments to @code{Install}, which you can use to direct its operation: @itemize @bullet @item @emph{What form of the programs} to install. You can choose among ||HOST|| binaries (argument @code{bin}) and source code (@code{source}). If you don't specify either of these, @code{Install} assumes you want both source, and binaries for ||HOST||. @item @emph{What installation actions} to carry out. A full installation involves up to three steps, and @code{Install} has options to let you choose them explicitly. The steps are @enumerate @item extracting source from the tape (option @code{extract}) @item writing @sc{ansi}-C conforming copies of your system include files (needed for the compilation tools; option @code{fixincludes}) @item running a simple test of the installed programs (option @code{test}) @end enumerate The last two of these actions (@code{fixincludes} and @code{test}) can only run on your ||HOST||. If you read the tape on another machine, you must specify the @code{extract} option explicitly, to indicate that you don't expect the other two actions to run (and are aware of the need to run further installation steps on your ||HOST||). @end itemize @code{Install} also has two command line options: @samp{-tape} and @w{@samp{-installdir}}. You can use these to adapt the installation to your system. Here is a summary of all of @code{Install}'s command-line options, followed by a more detailed explanation of each: @example Install @r{[} -tape=/dev/@var{tape} @r{]} @r{[} -installdir=@var{directory} @r{]} @r{[} bin @r{]} @r{[} source @r{]} @r{[} extract @r{]} @r{[} fixincludes @r{]} @r{[} test @r{]} @r{[} remove @r{]} @end example @table @code @item -tape=/dev/@var{tape} @itemx -tape=@var{tarfile} Specify the @emph{non-rewinding} device name for your tape drive as @var{tape}. If you extract the installation script and tarfile on some other system, and transfer them to your ||HOST|| for installation, use use the name of the tarfile instead of a device name with @samp{-tape}. @xref{No Drive,,No Local Tape Drive}, for more discussion. @item -installdir=@var{directory} If you have no write access to @samp{/usr/cygnus} or @samp{/usr}, use this option to specify an alternate @var{directory} for placing your software---but beware: the software is configured to go in @samp{/usr/cygnus}, and you'll have to override or change that too. @xref{Paths,,Changing the Paths}. @item bin @itemx source By default, @code{Install} extracts both source, and binaries for your ||HOST||. Instead of relying on the default, you can use these options to say exactly what forms you want. You need to do this if @itemize @bullet @item you want only binaries, or @item you want only source. @end itemize @noindent @code{Install} is designed to share files, wherever possible, between installations for different hosts (of the same release). If you get Cygnus release tapes configured for different hosts, there is no need to do a binary-only install of some of the tapes to save space on a shared file system; @code{Install} arranges the files so that all hosts will share the same source files. Documentation files are shared as well. See @ref{Links,,Links for Easy Access and Updating}, for a discussion of how to manage the directory structure used for this purpose. @item extract @item fixincludes @item test A full installation includes up to three things: (1) extracting software from the tape; (2) creating @sc{ansi}-C conforming copies of your system's standard header files; and (3) testing the installation. You can execute these steps separately by specifying @samp{extract}, @samp{fixincludes}, or @samp{test} on the @code{Install} command line. After you run @samp{extract}, @samp{fixincludes} is essential if you're using the compiler. @samp{fixincludes} @emph{does not change your system's original header files;} @code{Install} writes the converted copies in a separate, @sc{gcc}-specific directory. @xref{Why-fixincludes,,Why Convert System Header Files?}, for more discussion of the @samp{fixincludes} step. @code{Install} will only attempt these last two steps if you run it on the ||HOST||. @samp{test} is a confidence-building step, and doesn't actually change the state of the installed software. The @samp{test} step may not make sense, depending on what other options you've specified---if you install only source, there's nothing to test. If you specify a step that doesn't make sense, or if you run @code{Install} on a different machine but try to run @code{fixincludes} or @code{test}, @code{Install} will notice the error, and exit (before doing anything at all) with an error message, so you can try again. When you run @samp{extract}, @code{Install} leaves a log file @file{tar.log} in the installation directory---by default, in @file{/usr/cygnus}. When you run @samp{fixincludes}, @code{Install} leaves a log file @file{fixincludes.log} in the @file{progressive-||RELNO||} subdirectory. @item remove You can also use @code{Install} to remove parts of the release after you've installed them. Identify what to remove with either of the command-line options @samp{source} or @samp{bin}; if you specify @samp{remove} as well, @code{Install} will try to erase parts of the installation from your system. @xref{Removing,,Removing Parts of the Developer's Kit}, for an example. @end table @menu * Why-fixincludes:: Why Convert System Header Files? @end menu @node Why-fixincludes, , Install-Options, Install-Options @unnumberedsec Why Convert System Header Files? @c UPDATE! Is this really needed on @emph{all} hosts? It is very important to run @samp{Install fixincludes} (on @emph{each host} where you install the compiler binaries). When the @sc{ansi x3j11} committee finished developing a standard for the C language, a few things that had worked one way in many traditional C compilers ended up working differently in @sc{ansi} C. Most of these changes are improvements. But some Unix header files still rely on the old C meanings, in cases where the Unix vendor has not yet converted to using an @sc{ansi} C compiler for the operating system itself. @samp{Install fixincludes} does a mechanical translation that writes @sc{ansi} C versions of some system header files into a new, @sc{gcc}-specific include directory---@emph{your system's original header files are not affected.} If you don't run @code{fixincludes}, the GNU C compiler can only use the original system header files when you compile new C programs. @emph{In some cases, the resulting programs will fail at run-time}. @node Links, Running, Install-Options, Top @unnumbered Links for Easy Access and Updating Once you've extracted them from the tape, the tools are installed under a directory named @file{progressive-||RELNO||}. We put the release number in the directory name so that you can keep several releases installed at the same time, if you wish. In order to simplify administrative procedures (such as upgrades to future Cygnus Progressive releases), we recommend that you establish a symbolic link @file{/usr/cygnus/progressive} to this directory. For example, assuming you've used the default installation path: @cartouche @example eg$ @b{cd /usr/cygnus} eg$ @b{ln -s progressive-||RELNO|| progressive} @end example @end cartouche Directories of host-independent files (source and documentation) are installed directly under @file{progressive-||RELNO||}. However, to accomodate binaries for multiple hosts in a single directory structure, the binary files for your ||HOST|| are in a subdirectory @file{H-||HOSTstr||}. This means that one more level of symbolic links is helpful, to allow your users to keep the same execution path defined even if they sometimes use ||HOST|| binaries and sometimes binaries for another machine. Even if this doesn't apply now, you might want it in the future; establishing these links now can save your users the trouble of changing all their paths later. The idea is to build @samp{/usr/progressive/bin} on each machine so that it points to the appropriate binary subdirectory for each machine---for instance, @samp{/usr/cygnus/progressive/H-||HOSTstr||}. You may need to use @code{su} again briefly to establish these links: @cartouche @example eg$ @b{ln -s /usr/cygnus/progressive/H-||HOSTstr|| /usr/progressive} @end example @end cartouche We recommend building these links as the very last step in the installation process. That way, users at your site will only see software in @file{/usr/progressive} when you're satisfied that the installation is complete and successful. @menu * Running:: Running the Programs @end menu @node Running, Paths, Links, Top @unnumbered Running the Programs Any users who wish to run the Cygnus development tools will need to make sure the @code{PATH} environment variable will find them. If you create the symbolic links we recommend above, users who want to run the Developer's Kit---regardless of whether they need binaries for ||HOST||, or for some other platform---can use settings like one of the following in their initialization files. @example @exdent For shells compatible with Bourne shell (@code{/bin/sh}, @code{bash}, or Korn shell): @cartouche @b{PATH=/usr/progressive/bin:$PATH} @b{export PATH} @end cartouche @end example @example @exdent For C shell: @cartouche @b{set path=(/usr/progressive/bin $path)} @end cartouche @end example @noindent You should also ensure that your @code{man} command can pick up the manual pages for these tools. Some @code{man} programs recognize a @code{MANPATH} environment variable. If your @code{man} program is one of these, users at your site can also include in their initialization file lines like @example @exdent For Bourne-compatible shells: @cartouche @b{MANPATH=/usr/cygnus/progressive/man:$MANPATH:/usr/man} @b{export MANPATH} @end cartouche @end example @example @exdent For C shell: @cartouche @b{setenv MANPATH /usr/cygnus/progressive/man:$MANPATH:/usr/man} @end cartouche @end example If your @code{man} program doesn't recognize @samp{MANPATH}, you may want to copy or link the files from @file{progressive/man/man1} into your system's @file{man/man1}. @refill @node Paths, Trouble, Running, Top @unnumbered Changing the Paths The binaries shipped by Cygnus are configured for installation under the directory @file{/usr/cygnus}. In particular, @code{gcc}, @code{g++}, and the documentation browser @code{info} need to know the location of the distribution. If you wish to run the tools after installing them in another location, you can either: @itemize @bullet @item use environment variables (and, for @code{g++}, command-line options) to tell the tools where to find pieces of the installation; or @item rebuild the tools from source, with your preferred paths built in. @xref{Rebuilding,,Rebuilding from Source}, if you want to take this approach. @end itemize In rare circumstances, the auxiliary installation script @code{install_cid} will also require a workaround if you do not install in @file{/usr/cygnus}. @subheading GCC Paths @c FIXME! Add something about specs file? You can run the compiler @sc{gcc} without recompiling, even if you install the distribution in an alternate location, by first setting the environment variable @samp{GCC_EXEC_PREFIX}. This variable specifies where to find the executables, libraries, and data files used by the compiler. Its value will be different depending on which set of binaries you need to run. For example, if you install the tape distribution under @file{/local} (instead of the default @file{/usr/cygnus}), and you wish to run @sc{gcc} as a native ||HOST|| compiler, you could set @samp{GCC_EXEC_PREFIX} as follows. (You can type the first two lines as a single line, if you like; the example is split using the line continuation character @samp{\} only to make it fit on the printed page.) @cartouche @example @b{GCC@t{_}EXEC@t{_}PREFIX=/local/progressive-||RELNO||/H-||HOSTstr||/@t{\} lib/gcc-lib/||TARGET||/||GCCvn||/} @b{export GCC@t{_}EXEC@t{_}PREFIX} @end example @end cartouche @noindent The example assumes you use a shell compatible with the Bourne shell; if you run the C shell, use the following instead. (Again, the line continuation character @samp{\} is only used for convenience in the example; feel free to use a single line.) @cartouche @example @b{setenv GCC@t{_}EXEC@t{_}PREFIX /local/progressive-||RELNO||/H-||HOSTstr||/@t{\} lib/gcc-lib/||TARGET||/||GCCvn||/} @end example @end cartouche @quotation @emph{Warning: The trailing slash @samp{/} is important}. The @code{gcc} program uses @samp{GCC_EXEC_PREFIX} simply as a prefix. If you omit the slash (or make any other mistakes in specifying the prefix), @code{gcc} will fail with a message beginning @samp{installation problem, cannot exec@dots{}}. @end quotation @subheading G++ Paths To compile C++ programs (when you've installed the binaries for the compiler somewhere other than @file{/usr/cygnus}), you need to set @code{GCC_EXEC_PREFIX} as for C programs. You @emph{also} need to include a @samp{-L} option and a @samp{-I} option on the @code{g++} command line, to locate the @sc{g++} specific header files and library. For example, assuming you installed the ||HOST|| binaries under @file{/local}, and want to compile a C++ program @samp{program.cc}: @enumerate @item Set @code{GCC_EXEC_PREFIX} in one of the ways shown above; @item Invoke the @code{g++} compiler with at least the following options: @end enumerate @cartouche @example eg$ @b{g++ -L/local/progressive-||RELNO||/H-||HOSTstr||/lib@t{\} -I/local/progressive-||RELNO||/H-||HOSTstr||/lib/g++-include program.cc} @end example @end cartouche @subheading @code{info} Paths The standalone documentation browser @code{info} also needs to know the location of its documentation files in the distribution. The default location, @file{/usr/cygnus/progressive-||RELNO||/info}, is compiled in. If you install elsewhere, set the environment variable @code{INFOPATH} to indicate the alternate location. For example, again assuming you installed under @file{/local}: @example @exdent For shells compatible with Bourne shell (@code{/bin/sh}, @code{bash}, or Korn shell): @cartouche @b{INFOPATH=/local/progressive-||RELNO||/info} @b{export INFOPATH} @end cartouche @end example @example @exdent For C shell: @cartouche @b{setenv INFOPATH /local/progressive-||RELNO||/info} @end cartouche @end example @noindent If you built @file{progressive} as a symbolic link to @file{progressive-||RELNO||}, as recommended in @ref{Links,,Links for Easy Access and Updating}, then you could simply use @file{/local/progressive/info} as the value of @code{INFOPATH} in the examples above. @subheading @code{install_cid} Paths The auxiliary script @code{install_cid} is provided as a convenience, to fill in your site's customer ID as the default for your local version of the Cygnus @code{send_pr} problem-reporting script. If you don't install in @file{/usr/cygnus}, @samp{install_cid @var{ID}} will still work correctly in most cases.

Then go ahead and run @code{Install} from the machine with a tape drive. You'll have to run @samp{Install fixincludes} and @samp{Install test} from your ||HOST|| afterwards; @pxref{cross-install,,Installing with another machine's tape drive}. @item If some form of filetransfer is available (such as @code{uucp}), read the tape using a system utility (for instance, @code{dd} on Unix systems; see the system documentation for the machine with a tape drive). There are two files on the distribution tape; the first contains just the @code{Install} script, and the second is a compressed @code{tar} format file containing the rest of the release. Read both of these files, and transfer them to your own machine. Then run @code{Install} as shown in @ref{local-install,,Installing with a local tape drive}, but use @samp{-tape=@var{tarfile}} to specify the name of the installation file, instead of @samp{-tape=/dev/@var{tape}} as shown in the examples.

Your Developer's Kit contains full online documentation for the Cygnus configure system. @inforef{Using Configure,,configure.info}, to read about @code{configure} in more detail, including information on how the @code{configure} options relate to @file{Makefile} variables. @example configure @r{[}-prefix=@var{dest}@r{]} @r{[}-exec-prefix=@var{bindest}@r{]} @r{[}-srcdir=@var{path}@r{]} @r{[}-norecursion@r{]} @r{[}-target=@var{target}@r{]} @var{host} @end example @noindent The binaries on your tape were configured using @cartouche @example configure -prefix /usr/cygnus/progressive-||RELNO|| \ -exec-prefix /usr/cygnus/progressive-||RELNO||/H-||HOSTstr|| \ ||HOSTstr|| @end example @end cartouche @table @code @item -prefix=@var{dest} @var{dest} is an installation directory @emph{path prefix}, the root for the directories where @code{make install} will place things. After you configure with this option, @samp{make install install-info} will install info files in @file{@var{dest}/info}, man pages in @file{@var{dest}/man}, and---unless you also use @samp{-exec-prefix}---compiled programs in @file{@var{dest}/bin}, and libraries in @file{@var{dest}/lib}. If you specify @samp{-prefix=/local}, for example, @code{make install} puts the development tools in @file{/local/bin}. @emph{WARNING:} the default @var{dest} path prefix in the source is not the same as the prefix for the preconfigured binaries distributed by Cygnus. @samp{-prefix=/usr/cygnus/progressive-||RELNO||} was used to build this Cygnus Progressive Release. If you do not use @code{-prefix}, the installation directory is @file{/usr/local}. @item -exec-prefix=@var{bindest} @samp{-exec-prefix} serves the same purpose as @samp{-prefix}, but affects only machine-dependent targets (compiled programs and libraries). Specifying both @samp{-prefix} and @samp{-exec-prefix} allows you to segregate machine-dependent files, so that machine-independent files can be shared. @emph{WARNING:} the default @var{bindest} path prefix in the source is not the same as the prefix for the preconfigured binaries distributed by Cygnus. @samp{-exec-prefix=/usr/cygnus/progressive-||RELNO||/H-||HOSTstr||} was used to build this Cygnus Progressive Release. If you do not use @samp{-exec-prefix}, the default directory for machine-dependent targets is whatever was specified with @file{-prefix} (by default, @file{/usr/local}). @item -srcdir=@var{path} @emph{Warning: This option is only supported if you use @sc{gnu} @code{make}} (which is included in the Cygnus Progressive--||RELNO|| release). Use this option to make configurations in directories separate from the source directories. @code{configure} writes configuration specific files in the current directory, but arranges for them to use the source in the directory @var{path}. @code{configure} will create directories under the working directory in parallel to the source directories below @var{path}. Among other things, you can use this to build (or maintain) several configurations simultaneously, in separate directories. @item -norecursion Configure only the directory level where @code{configure} is executed; do not propagate configuration to subdirectories. @item -target=@var{target} Configure the development tools for cross-development (compiling, debugging, or other processing) of programs running on the specified @var{target}. Without this option, programs are configured ``native'', that is, for managing programs that run on the same machine (@var{host}) as the development tools themselves. There is no convenient way to generate a list of all available targets. @item @var{host} @dots{} Configure the development tools to run on the specified @var{host}. There is no convenient way to generate a list of all available hosts. @end table The @samp{-prefix=@var{dest}} and @samp{-exec-prefix=@var{bindest}} options are particularly important. If you don't specify a @var{dest} or @var{bindest} directory, the @file{Makefile} installs binaries in subdirectories of @file{/usr/local}. These options are important because the @var{dest} and @var{bindest} directories are used for several purposes: @enumerate @item @var{bindest} is the directory where binaries are installed. @item @var{bindest} is built into the compiler itself for the locations of @sc{gcc} specific include files, the locations of @sc{gcc} subprograms, and the location of the @sc{gcc} specific library @file{libgcc.a}. @item @var{dest} is compiled into @code{info} as the default directory for the documentation. @end enumerate @node Compilation, Installation, configure Options, Rebuilding @unnumberedsec Compilation After you've run @code{configure} (which writes the final @file{Makefile} in each directory), compilation is straightforward. To compile all the programs in the Developer's Kit, run: @cartouche @example @b{make all info >make.log} @end example @end cartouche The examples suggest capturing the @code{make} output in a @file{make.log} file, because the output is lengthy. The overall @file{Makefile} propagates the value of the @code{CC} variable explicitly, so that you can easily control the compiler used in this step. @code{CFLAGS} is treated the same way. For instance, to build the compiler a second time, using @sc{gcc} to compile itself (after building and installing it in the alternate directory @file{/local/gnu}), you might use @cartouche @example @b{make CC=/local/gnu/H-sun4/bin/gcc CFLAGS=-O all info >make.log} @end example @end cartouche The conventional targets @samp{all}, @samp{install}, and @samp{clean} are supported at all levels of @file{Makefile}. Other targets are supported as well, as appropriate in each directory; please read the individual @file{Makefile} for details. Each @file{Makefile} in the source directories includes ample comments to help you read it. If you are not familiar with @code{make}, refer to @ref{Overview,,Overview of @code{make}, make.info, GNU Make: A Program for Directing Recompilation}. @node Installation, , Compilation, Rebuilding @unnumberedsec Installation Whether you configure an alternative path using @code{-prefix}, or you use the default installation path @file{/usr/local}, you can install the software by executing: @cartouche @example @b{make install install-info} @end example @end cartouche @node Removing, Cygnus-FSF, Rebuilding, Top @unnumbered Removing Parts of the Developer's Kit You can use the same @code{Install} script that was used to install the Developer's Kit on your system, to remove parts of the release. (Remember that the @code{Install} script was automatically saved for you as @file{/usr/cygnus/progressive-||RELNO||/Install}.) To do this, decide what you want to remove; then call @code{Install} with the option @samp{remove} on the command line, as well as all the options that you would use to install that portion of the release (@pxref{Install-Options,,Installation Options}). For example, suppose you never look at the source, and are running short of disk space; you can remove the source, while leaving the rest of the Progressive Release undisturbed, as follows: @cartouche @example eg$ @b{cd /usr/cygnus/progressive-||RELNO||} eg$ @b{./Install remove source} @end example @end cartouche @noindent You should see the following messages confirming the software was removed: @cartouche @example Cygnus Support software distribution removed! Done. @end example @end cartouche To remove the complete Progressive Release of the Developer's Kit from your system (if, eventually, you no longer want it), delete the directory @file{/usr/cygnus/progressive-||RELNO||} and all its contents. @node Cygnus-FSF, Cygnus-Support, Removing, Top @unnumbered Cygnus Releases and the FSF Most of the tools in this Developer's Kit are originally from the Free Software Foundation (FSF). You can get versions of all these tools from the FSF as well as from Cygnus. In general, Cygnus Progressive Releases add to FSF software in the following ways: @c UPDATE! more differences bet Cygnus/FSF releases? @itemize @bullet @item Commercial support is available. Cygnus adds value to FSF releases in large measure by offering outstanding support services. @item Coordination. The tools in your Developer's Kit are certified to work together; you need not worry about tools being out of step with each other. @item Bug fixes. A Progressive Release includes many fixes, already integrated into the programs. Cygnus repairs bugs discovered during testing, and also tracks and includes bug fixes developed for other Cygnus customers or distributed over the Internet. @item Bug reporting. Cygnus releases include the tool @code{send_pr}, which you can use to make sure your problem reports receive prompt attention, and are also incorporated in our future tests. @item Documentation. Cygnus revises and adds to available FSF documentation to give you better descriptions of all the software tools. @item Stability. Cygnus tests (and uses) all the programs it releases. @end itemize @c FIXME! If we can say something about this, remove @ignore/@end ignore @c and fill in below: @ignore This particular Cygnus Progressive release differs from the nearest corresponding FSF distributions in these important details: FILL IN HERE! @end ignore @node Cygnus-Support, , Cygnus-FSF, Top @unnumbered About Cygnus Support Cygnus Support was founded in 1989 to provide commercial support for free software. Cygnus supplies products and services that benefit advanced development groups by allowing them to use state-of-the-art tools without having to maintain them. With Cygnus Support, sites that once were forced to do their own tool support can recover that valuable staff time. Former users of proprietary software now may choose supported free software, combining the advantages of both worlds. Free software is faster, more powerful, and more portable than its proprietary counterparts. It evolves faster because users who want to make improvements are free to do so. Cygnus tracks these improvements and integrates them into tested, stable versions ready for commercial use, then backs this software with comprehensive support. With Cygnus Support as your partner, you will have the software and the support you need to meet your business objectives. Cygnus is intimately familiar with this software from extensive experience using, debugging, and implementing it. You get direct access to the most qualified support people: the authors of the software. We provide ``vintage'' releases---the most stable versions, which have been though even more extensive use and testing---or up-to-the minute ``progressive'' releases, for those who need the very latest version. Because all our improvements are also free software, you can distribute them widely within your organization, or to your customers, without extra cost. @sp 4 @display Cygnus Support 814 University Avenue Palo Alto, CA 94301, USA +1 415 322 3811 hotline: +1 415 322 7836 email: @code{info@@cygnus.com} fax: +1 415 322 3270 @end display @bye
