345 Select one of these options. (Selecting ``Install Everything'' is
346 equivalent to selecting each of the other two options, to get both
347 binaries and source code for the Developer's Kit.)
348 An interaction window appears.

350 @item
351 Answer the prompt @samp{Installation directory} with the name of the
352 directory where you want the Developer's Kit installed. We recommend
353 @file{/opt} (which is the default), because the compiler and other tools
354 are configured for this location. (If you use another directory,
355 see @ref{Paths,,Changing the Paths}.)
356
357 @item
358 Inspect the messages that appear in the interaction window. The
359 installation script @code{Install} displays occasional messages to keep
360 you informed about the steps it executes. Among them, these messages
361 mark completion of the major stages of installation:
362
363 @example
364 Cygnus Support software distribution extracted!
365
366 Fixed include files installed!
367

552 @subsection Optional OS packages
553 Many components of Solaris 2.0 are part of the standard operating system
554 distribution, but are not installed by default. To install the Cygnus
555 Solaris 2.0 Developer's Kit, you will need to make sure two of these
556 optional components (called @dfn{packages}) are installed on your system:
557 @samp{SUNWesu} and @samp{SUNWhea}. Three more packages are needed to
558 run the Developer's Kit software after you've installed it:
559 @samp{SUNWbtool}, @samp{SUNWtoo}, and @samp{SUNWarc}.
560
561 To check whether an optional package is installed, you can run
562 @samp{pkginfo @var{name}}. @code{pkginfo} is in @file{/usr/bin/}. If
563 @var{name} is not installed, you will get an error, like this:
564
565 @example
566 eg$ @b{/usr/bin/pkginfo} @b{SUNWlibm}
567 ERROR: information for "SUNWlibm" was not found
568 @end example
569
570 @noindent
571 If @var{name} is installed, you will see a one-line summary of the
572 package, like this:
573
574 @example
575 eg$ @b{/usr/bin/pkginfo} @b{SUNWhea}
576 system SUNWhea Header Files
577 @end example
578
579 To install one of these optional parts of Solaris 2 (@var{name} in the
580 example), put the Solaris 2.0 distribution CD in the drive, mount it
581 (for example, as @file{/cdrom}), then do:
582
583 @example
584 /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d /cdrom/Solaris_2.0 @var{name} @dots{}
585 @end example
586
587 @noindent
588 You can specify several package names at once.
589
590 These are the Solaris 2 optional packages you'll need to run the
591 Developer's Kit:
592
593 @table @code
594 @item SUNWarc
595 @emph{Needed to link your programs:} Archive libraries for system
596 interfaces.
597
598 @item SUNWbtool
599 @emph{Needed to build your programs:} ``SPARCCompilers
600 2.0 Bundled tools''. Most of the contents of @file{/usr/ccs/bin}

630 You need access to a tape drive that can read the distribution.
631 The drive need not be on the ||HOST|| where you want to run the
632 software; but it is best if the machine with a tape drive and your
633 ||HOST|| can mount a common file system. At the very least, you need

644 The software is configured to go into @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||}. If you have
645 space available, but not in the same file system as @file{/opt}, you can

680 @item Computer output is shown in @code{typewriter font.}
681 @item Your input is indicated by @b{a bold typewriter font.}
682 @item Text to be replaced, rather than typed verbatim, is in @var{this font.}

686 In examples, we show the system prompt as @samp{eg$}.
687
688 The Cygnus cygnus-sol2-||RELNO|| ||MEDIUM|| contains two separate
689 files. The first file is a script called @code{Install};
690 the second file contains the Developer's Kit software. To get
691 the software onto your system, you need to make sure you have the space
692 you'll need for it, and get the @code{Install} script off the ||MEDIUM||.
693 Then you can use the @code{Install} script to choose what else to
694 install.
695
696 Two checklists follow. The first checklist shows what to do if you have
697 a ||MEDIUM|| drive on the ||HOST|| where you want to install the
698 Developer's Kit; the second shows how to use another networked machine
699 to read the ||MEDIUM||, then finish the installation on your ||HOST||.
700
701 Both checklists suggest installing the Developer's Kit under
702 @file{/opt} (if you like, via a symbolic link from another location).
703 We recommend you use this location for the software, because the
704 precompiled, ready-to-run versions of the tools are configured this
705 way. (If you want to use a different location, and cannot establish a
706 symbolic link from it to @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||}, please see
707 @ref{Install-Options,,Installation Options}. To use the software
708 conveniently after installing elsewhere, see @ref{Paths,,Changing the
709 Paths}.)
710
711 Both checklists are very similar to @ref{Brief,,Installing in Brief},
712 but provide more discussion of each step, and offer alternatives for
713 ||MEDIUM|| drives, for systems whose available disk space is not in
714 @code{/opt}, and for installing only portions of the Developer's Kit.

778 Load the Cygnus Support release tape (labelled ``cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||'') into
779 your system's tape drive.
780
781 @item
782 find out the name of the @emph{non-rewinding} tape device that can read
783 the release tape, on your machine. Cygnus release tapes are labelled to
784 identify the kind of tape used---either QIC-24 or Exabyte.
785
786 You will most likely use @file{/dev/rmt/0ln} (the last three characters
787 are zero, el, en) as the tape device, regardless of which of the two
788 kinds of tape you have; see @samp{man st} for details on how tape
789 devices are named on Solaris 2.
790
791 However, the correct device name depends on how your system's tape
792 drives were installed; ask your system administrator. If the tape drive
793 you plan to use is your system's only tape drive, @file{/dev/rmt/0ln} is
794 very likely. Otherwise it may be something like @file{/dev/rmt/1ln}.
795
796 Our examples show @file{/dev/rmt/0ln} for the tape device, as this is
797 the most common case.
798
799 @item
800 The first file on the tape is a script called @code{Install}. That
801 script automates most of the installation procedure---but first you need
802 to bootstrap the installation by getting @code{Install} itself from the
803 tape. It doesn't really matter where you put this initial copy of
804 @code{Install}; it is only used to get things started---these examples
805 assume you put it in @file{/tmp}. When you use this copy of
806 @code{Install} to extract software from the tape, another copy of
807 @code{Install} will be saved in @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||}.
808
809 These commands will get @code{Install} into the @file{/tmp} directory
810 (remember, you may need something slightly different from
811 @file{/dev/rmt/0ln} as the device name for the appropriate tape drive on
812 your system):
813
814 @cartouche
815 @example
816 eg$ @b{cd /tmp}
817 eg$ @b{tar xfov /dev/rmt/0ln Install}
818 @end example
819 @end cartouche
820
821 A frightening five-line message beginning ``@code{WARNING}'' and ending
822 with ``@code{Sense Key: Unit Attention}'' is very common at this point.
823 It does not indicate anything is wrong; on the contrary, it's the
824 operating system's way of letting you know that it noticed you put in a
825 tape.
826
827 If you get any error messages beginning ``tar: can't open'', check that
828 the tape is correctly placed in your tape drive, and that you typed the
829 right name where we show @file{/dev/rmt/0ln}. Some errors can be
830 corrected by reseating the tape in the tape drive and trying again.

838 @end quotation
839
840 @item
841 Now you can extract your Developer's Kit software by running
842 @code{Install}. Use the @samp{-tape=} option to specify where
843 the software comes from:

845 @cartouche
846 @example
847 eg$ @b{/tmp/Install -tape=/dev/rmt/0ln}
848 @end example
849 @end cartouche
850
851 This is a time-consuming step. @code{Install} will begin by using
852 @code{tar} to extract software for your system, leaving a log in
853 @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||/tar.log}. Then it prepares copies of your system
854 header files, converted to comply with @sc{ansi} C
855 (@pxref{Why-fixincludes,,Why Convert System Header Files?}); a log for
856 this step goes in @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||/fixincludes.log}. @emph{Your
857 system's original header files are not changed;} @code{Install} writes
858 the converted copies in a separate, @sc{gcc}-specific directory.
859
860 As it executes, @code{Install} displays occasional messages to keep you
861 informed about which of these steps it's executing. Among them, these
862 messages mark completion of the major stages of installation:
863

1005 have; see @samp{man st} for details on how tape devices are named on
1006 Solaris 2.
1007
1008 However, the correct device name depends on the kind of system, and on
1009 how the system's tape drives were installed; ask your system
1010 administrator. On systems running Solaris or other Unix SVr4 variants,
1011 if the tape drive you plan to use is your system's only tape drive,
1012 @file{/dev/rmt/0ln} is very likely. Otherwise it may be something like

1191 @chapter Installation Examples
1192
1193 Once you've got the @code{Install} script from your ||MEDIUM||,
1194 you can tell @code{Install} what software to install, what form of the
1195 programs you need, and what installation steps to do. Here are some
1196 examples covering common situations. For a full explanation of each
1197 possible @code{Install} argument, see @ref{Install-Options,,Installation
1198 Options}.
1199
1200 The default ||MEDIUM|| drive for @code{Install} is @code{/dev/rmt/0ln}, which is
1201 right for the most common cases on Solaris 2 systems. If your
1202 ||MEDIUM|| drive is different, you need to use the
1203 @samp{-tape=||MEDvar||} option; the examples show this option for
1204 completeness.

1245
1246 @noindent
1247 If your ||HOST|| doesn't have a ||MEDIUM|| drive, but another machine that can
1248 mount some shared directory @var{shr} does have one, you can carry out
1249 the first step of the installation from the machine with a ||MEDIUM|| drive,
1250 as shown. Note that you have to say @samp{extract} on the
1251 @code{Install} command line. This alerts @code{Install} to stop the
1252 install procedure after it reads the software. You still have to finish the
1253 installation, but the last two steps have to run on your ||HOST||. (If
1254 you forget, there's no great harm done: @code{Install} will notice that
1255 it can't carry out a full installation on the wrong machine, and will
1256 stop with an error message---then you can go back and try again. When
1257 @code{Install} notices a problem like this, it doesn't carry out
1258 @emph{any} action other than giving a helpful error message).
1259
1260 The @samp{fixincludes} part of the installation is essential. Please
1261 see @ref{Why-fixincludes,,Why Convert System Header Files?}, if you're
1262 curious.

1265 @section Removing Source
1266 The @code{Install} script can remove anything it can install. For
1267 example, if after installing the complete Developer's Kit on your
1268 machine you decide to remove the source files:
1269

1276
1277 @noindent
1278 In general, to remove a part of the Developer's Kit, use the same
1279 @code{Install} command line that would extract that part, but add the
1280 keyword @code{remove}. The @code{-tape} option is not necessary for
1281 removing.

1359 Specify the @emph{non-rewinding} device name for your tape drive as
1360 @file{rmt/0ln} (the last three characters are zero, el, en).
1361
1362 If you extract the installation script and compressed tarfile on some
1363 other system, and transfer them to your ||HOST|| for installation, use
1364 the name of the tarfile instead of a device name with @samp{-tape}.
1365 See @ref{No Drive,,No Local ||MEDIUM|| Drive}, for more discussion.
1366
1367 @item -installdir=@var{directory}
1368 If you have no write access to @samp{/opt}, use this option to specify
1369 an alternate @var{directory} for your software---but beware: the
1370 software is configured to go in @samp{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||}, and
1371 you'll have to override or change that too. See @ref{Paths,,Changing the
1372 Paths}.
1373
1374 @item bin
1375 @itemx source
1376 By default, @code{Install} extracts both source, and binaries for your
1377 ||HOST||. Instead of relying on the default, you
1378 can use these options to say exactly what forms you
1379 want. You need to do this if
1380 @itemize @bullet
1381 @item
1382 you want only binaries, or
1383 @item
1384 you want only source.
1385 @end itemize
1386
1387 @item extract
1388 @itemx fixincludes
1389 @itemx test
1390 A full installation includes up to three things: (1) extracting
1391 software; (2) creating @sc{ansi}-C conforming copies of your
1392 system's standard header files; and (3) testing the installation.
1393 You can execute these steps separately by specifying
1394 @samp{extract}, @samp{fixincludes}, or @samp{test} on the
1395 @code{Install} command line.
1396
1397 After you extract the software, @samp{fixincludes} is essential if you're
1398 using the compiler. @samp{fixincludes} @emph{does not change your
1399 system's original header files;} @code{Install} writes the converted
1400 copies in a separate, @sc{gcc}-specific directory.
1401 See @ref{Why-fixincludes,,Why Convert System Header Files?}, for more
1402 discussion of the @samp{fixincludes} step. @code{Install} will only
1403 attempt these two steps if you run it on the ||HOST||.
1404
1405 @samp{test} is a confidence-building step, and doesn't
1406 actually change the state of the installed software.
1407 The @samp{test} step may not make sense, depending on what
1408 other options you've specified---if you install only source, there's
1409 nothing to test.
1410
1411 If you specify a step that doesn't make sense, or if you run @code{Install}
1412 on a different machine but try to run @code{fixincludes} or
1413 @code{test}, @code{Install} will notice the error, and exit
1414 (before doing anything at all) with an error message, so you can try
1415 again.
1416
1417 When you run @samp{extract}, @code{Install} leaves a log file
1418 @file{tar.log} in the installation directory---by default, in
1419 @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||}.
1420
1421 When you run @samp{fixincludes}, @code{Install}
1422 leaves a log file @file{fixincludes.log} in the @file{cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||}
1423 subdirectory.
1424
1425 @item remove
1426 You can also use @code{Install} to remove parts of the release after
1427 you've installed them. Identify what to remove with either of the
1428 command-line options @samp{source} or @samp{bin}, together with
1429 @samp{remove}. @code{Install} will erase these parts of the
1430 installation from your system. See @ref{Removing,,Removing Parts of the
1431 Developer's Kit}, for an example.

1439 These steps are performed when you run @code{Install} without
1440 arguments, but if you like you can select either of them explicitly.
1441
1442 After you extract the software, @samp{fixincludes} is essential if you're
1443 using the compiler. @samp{fixincludes} @emph{does not change your
1444 system's original header files;} @code{Install} writes the converted
1445 copies in a separate, @sc{gcc}-specific directory.
1446 See @ref{Why-fixincludes,,Why Convert System Header Files?}, for more
1447 discussion of the @samp{fixincludes} step. @code{Install} will only
1448 attempt these two steps if you run it on the ||HOST||.
1449
1450 @samp{test} is a confidence-building step, and doesn't
1451 actually change the state of the installed software.
1452
1453 When you run @samp{fixincludes}, @code{Install}
1454 leaves a log file @file{fixincludes.log} in the @file{cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||}
1455 subdirectory.

1461 @chapter Why Convert System Header Files?
1462
1463 It is very important to run the @samp{fixincludes} step of installation
1464 (either explicitly, as @samp{Install fixincludes}, or by default when
1465 you run @code{Install} with no arguments). You must do this on
1466 @emph{each installation}: if many ||HOST||s share the same binaries on a
1467 shared filesystem, you need only do it once---but if you install
1468 separate copies, you must run @code{Install fixincludes} on each.
1469
1470 The C header files supplied with SVr4 versions of Unix depend on a
1471 questionable interpretation of the @sc{ansi} C standard: they test for a
1472 non-@sc{ansi} environment by checking whether @code{__STDC__} is defined
1473 as zero. The @sc{ansi} standard actually only specifies that
1474 @code{__STDC__} will be defined to 1; if it is defined to any other
1475 value, the environment is not @sc{ansi} C compatible, and @sc{ansi} C
1476 says nothing about what that value might be.
1477
1478 @sc{gcc} defines @code{__STDC__} to 1 when running with @samp{-ansi},
1479 when it functions as an ``@sc{ansi} C superset'' compiler. (It also sets
1480 @code{__STRICT_ANSI__} when it runs with the @samp{-pedantic} option.)
1481 However, @sc{gcc} leaves @code{__STDC__} undefined when it is not
1482 running as an @sc{ansi} C compiler.
1483
1484 Unfortunately, the Solaris 2 header files follow the SVr4 choice. Since
1485 @sc{gcc} never defines @code{__STDC__} as 0, the distributed header
1486 files can leave out some declarations. (Look in @file{/usr/include/time.h},
1487 for example.)
1488
1489 @samp{Install fixincludes} makes copies of the system include files,
1490 which have these nonstandard features removed so that @sc{gcc} can
1491 process them. These copies are placed in a new, @sc{gcc}-specific
1492 include directory---@emph{your system's original header files are not
1493 affected.} Once these fixed header files are created, @sc{gcc} finds and
1494 uses them automatically.
1495
1496 If you don't run @code{fixincludes}, the GNU C compiler can only use the
1497 original system header files when you compile new C programs. @emph{In
1498 some cases, the resulting programs will fail at run-time}.
1499
1500 @node Running
1501 @chapter Running the Programs
1502 Anyone who wishes to run the Cygnus development tools will need to make
1503 sure the @code{PATH} environment variable will find them. The simplest
1504 thing is to include @samp{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||/bin} in the
1505 @code{PATH} variable. Since the directory name contains the release
1506 number @samp{||RELNO||}, however, this approach will require changing
1507 the paths explicitly for all users when you install a new release.
1508
1509 Our installation procedures recommended creating a symbolic link like
1510 this, to plan ahead for future releases:
1511

1517 @end example
1518
1519 Then people can use settings like these in initialization files:
1520
1521 @example
1522 @exdent For shells compatible with Bourne shell (@code{/bin/sh}, @code{bash}, or Korn shell):
1523 @cartouche

1558 @chapter Changing the Paths
1559 The binaries shipped by Cygnus are configured for installation under the
1560 directory @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||}. In particular, @code{gcc}
1561 and the documentation browser @code{info} need to know the location of
1562 the distribution.
1563
1564 If you wish to run the tools after installing them in another location,
1565 you can either:
1566 @itemize @bullet
1567 @item
1568 use environment variables
1569 to tell the tools where to find pieces of the installation; or
1570
1571 @item
1572 rebuild the tools from source, with your preferred paths built in.
1573 See @ref{Rebuilding,,Rebuilding from Source}, if you want to take this
1574 approach.
1575 @end itemize
1576
1577 In rare circumstances, the auxiliary installation script
1578 @code{install_cid} will also require a workaround if you do not install
1579 in @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||}.
1580
1581 @subheading GCC Paths
1582 @c FIXME! Add something about specs file?
1583 You can run the compiler @sc{gcc} without recompiling, even if you
1584 install the distribution in an alternate location, by first setting the
1585 environment variable @samp{GCC_EXEC_PREFIX}. This variable specifies
1586 where to find the executables, libraries, and data files used by the
1587 compiler. Its value will be different depending on which set of
1588 binaries you need to run. For example, if you install the distribution
1589 under @file{/local} (instead of the default @file{/opt}), you could set
1590 @samp{GCC_EXEC_PREFIX} as follows. (You can type the first two lines as
1591 a single line, if you like; the example is split using the line
1592 continuation character @samp{\} only to make it fit in the space
1593 available.)

1625 The standalone documentation browser @code{info} also needs to know the

1627 location, @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||/info}, is compiled in.
1628 If you install elsewhere, set the environment variable @code{INFOPATH}
1629 to indicate the alternate location.

1672 @chapter Some Things that Might go Wrong

1674 We've tried to make the installation of your Developer's Kit as painless
1675 as possible. Still, some complications may arise. Here are suggestions
1676 for dealing with some of them.

1695 @node No Drive
1696 @section No local ||MEDIUM|| drive
1697 If your ||HOST|| doesn't have an appropriate ||MEDIUM|| drive, you may
1698 still be able to install your software. Check with your system
1699 administrator to see if another machine at your site has a drive
1700 you can use. If so:
1701 @table @emph
1702 @item If a shared filesystem is available
1703 between the two machines, and it has enough space, go ahead and run
1704 @samp{Install extract -installdir=@var{shr}} from the machine with a
1705 ||MEDIUM|| drive, where @var{shr} is a directory visible to both
1706 machines. Then create @samp{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||} on your
1707 ||HOST|| (the one where you want to install this Solaris 2 Developer's
1708 Kit) as a symbolic link to @file{@var{shr}/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||}.
1709 You'll have to run @samp{Install fixincludes} and @samp{Install test}
1710 from your ||HOST|| afterwards; see @ref{cross-install,,Installing with
1711 another machine's ||MEDIUM|| drive}.
1712
1713 @item If some form of filetransfer is available
1714 (such as @code{uucp}), read the ||MEDIUM|| using a system utility
1715 (for instance, @code{dd} on Unix systems; see the system documentation for
1716 the machine with a tape drive).
1717
1718 There are two files on the distribution ||MEDIUM||; the first is
1719 just the @code{Install} script, and the second is a compressed
1720 @code{tar} format file containing the rest of the release. Read both of
1721 these files, and transfer them to your own machine. Then run
1722 @code{Install} as shown in @ref{local-install,,Installing with a local
1723 ||MEDIUM|| drive}, but use @samp{-tape=@var{tarfile}} to specify the name of
1724 the installation file, instead of @samp{-tape=/dev/rmt/0ln} as shown in
1725 the examples. In the simplest case, for example (starting after you've
1726 transferred @code{Install} and the tar file to your system):
1727
1728 @cartouche
1729 @example
1730 eg$ @b{./Install -tape=@var{tarfile}}
1731 @end example
1732 @end cartouche
1733
1734 @end table
1735
1736 @node Limited Space
1737 @section Not Enough Space
1738 If you don't have enough space to install all of the distribution, you
1739 can instead extract only the compiled code, or only the source.
1740
1741 The following table summarizes the approximate space (rounded up to the
1742 next megabyte) needed for source and binaries.
1743 There is a little overlap between the partial installations: the
1744 documentation, and documentation tools, are always installed.
1745

1752
1753 @item ||DF|| MB
1754 ||HOST|| total
1755 @end table
1756
1757 You can easily extract these components independently of one another, by
1758 using the @samp{source} or @samp{bin} arguments to the @code{Install}
1759 script provided with your release.
1760 See @ref{Install-Options,,Installation Options}.
1761 @end ifclear
1762
1763 @node No access
1764 @section No Access to @file{/opt}
1765
1766 If you don't have write access to @file{/opt}, first check whether
1767 you're in the right group. The command @samp{ls -lLdg /opt} will show
1768 you whether any group has write access to @file{/opt}, and the command
1769 @code{groups} will show you what groups you're authorized to use. If
1770 you're authorized to use a group with the right access, use @samp{newgrp
1771 @var{groupname}} to switch to that group.
1772
1773 Otherwise, you may be able to use @code{root} (if you have the password)
1774 to give yourself temporary write access. There's no need to run the whole
1775 installation procedure as @code{root}; just use @code{root} access
1776 briefly like this---
1777
1778 @cartouche
1779 @example
1780 eg$ @b{su root}
1781 password: @i{(enter root password)}
1782 # @b{mkdir @var{shr}/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||} @i{(ignore error if any)}
1783 # @b{chmod 777 @var{shr}/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||}
1784 # @b{exit} @i{root access not needed beyond this}
1785 @end example
1786 @end cartouche
1787
1788 @noindent
1789 If you do set write permissions to @code{777} to run the installation
1790 procedure, remember to remove public write access when you're done, to
1791 avoid potential security problems.
1792
1793 If none of these things help, and you can't get write access to
1794 @file{/opt} or @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||},
1795 @ifset TAPEinst
1796 use the @samp{-installdir=@var{directory}} option to @code{Install} to
1797 specify a different installation directory, where you @emph{can} write.
1798 For example, if all the other installation defaults are right, you can
1799 execute something like @samp{./Install -installdir=@var{mydir}}.
1800 @end ifset
1801 @ifset FTPorCD
1802 use a different installation directory, where you @emph{can} write.
1803 @end ifset
1804 You will also have to either override default paths for the pre-compiled
1805 tools, or else recompile the software.
1806
1807 @quotation
1808 @emph{WARNING:} If you can't install in
1809 @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||} (or link your installation directory
1810 to that name), some of the defaults configured into the
1811 cygnus-sol2-||RELNO|| distribution won't work. See @ref{Paths,,Changing

1817 @section Error Messages from @code{Install}

1819 the way its arguments are used. The messages are meant to be
1820 self-explanatory.

1827 The error message ends with the device or file @code{Install} was trying
1828 to use. Please check that it is the device or file you intended;
1829 possible causes of trouble might include leaving off the @samp{/dev/}
1830 prefix at the front of a device name. A typo in the name might also
1831 cause this problem.
1832
1833 @ifset TAPEinst
1834 If the problem is neither of these things, perhaps your tape device can't
1835 read our tape; see @ref{No Drive,,No Local Tape Drive}, for a discussion
1836 of how to use another machine's tape drive.

1914 @node Configuration
1915 @section Configuration
1916
1917 You can configure the software in this release by using the shell
1918 script called @code{configure}. The shell script requires one argument:
1919 the host type. There are also several possible options, including a
1920 @samp{-target=} option to configure for cross-system development.
1921
1922 @node Config Names
1923 @section Specifying Names for Hosts and Targets
1924
1925 The specifications used for hosts and targets in the @code{configure}
1926 script are based on a three-part naming scheme, but some short predefined
1927 aliases are also supported. The full naming scheme encodes three pieces
1928 of information in the following pattern:
1929
1930 @example
1931 @var{architecture}-@var{vendor}-@var{os}
1932 @end example
1933
1934 For example, you can use the alias @code{sun4sol2} as a @var{host} argument
1935 or in a @samp{-target=@var{target}} option, but the equivalent full name
1936 is @samp{sparc-sun-solaris2}.
1937
1938 @quotation
1939 @emph{Warning:} @code{configure} can represent a very large number of
1940 combinations of architecture, vendor, and OS. There is by no means
1941 support for all possible combinations!
1942 @end quotation
1943
1944 @node configure Options
1945 @section @code{configure} Options
1946
1947 This section summarizes the @code{configure} options and arguments.
1948 Your Developer's Kit contains full online documentation for the Cygnus
1949 configure system. @inforef{Using Configure,,configure.info}, to read
1950 about @code{configure} in more detail, including information on how the
1951 @code{configure} options relate to @file{Makefile} variables.

1968 @end example
1969 @end cartouche
1970
1971 @table @code
1972 @item -prefix=@var{dest}
1973 @var{dest} is an installation directory @emph{path prefix}, the root for
1974 the directories where @code{make install} will place things. After you
1975 configure with this option, @samp{make install install-info} will
1976 install info files in @file{@var{dest}/info}, man pages in
1977 @file{@var{dest}/man}, and---unless you also use
1978 @samp{-exec-prefix}---compiled programs in @file{@var{dest}/bin}, and
1979 libraries in @file{@var{dest}/lib}. If you specify
1980 @samp{-prefix=/local}, for example, @code{make install} puts the
1981 development tools in @file{/local/bin}.
1982
1983 @emph{WARNING:} the default @var{dest} path prefix in the source is not
1984 the same as the prefix for the preconfigured binaries distributed by Cygnus.
1985
1986 @samp{-prefix=/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||} was used to build the binaries in this
1987 release. If you do not use @code{-prefix}, the installation directory
1988 is @file{/usr/local}.
1989
1990 @item -exec-prefix=@var{bindest}
1991 @samp{-exec-prefix} serves the same purpose as @samp{-prefix}, but
1992 affects only machine-dependent targets (compiled programs and
1993 libraries). Specifying both @samp{-prefix} and @samp{-exec-prefix}
1994 allows you to segregate machine-dependent files, so that
1995 machine-independent files can be shared.
1996
1997 @emph{WARNING:} the default @var{bindest} path prefix in the source is not
1998 the same as the prefix for the preconfigured binaries distributed by Cygnus.
1999
2000 No @samp{-exec-prefix} was used to build the binaries in this release.
2001 If you do not use @samp{-exec-prefix}, the default directory for
2002 machine-dependent targets is whatever was specified with @file{-prefix}
2003 (by default, @file{/usr/local}; for the binaries in this release,
2004 @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||}).
2005
2006 @item -srcdir=@var{path}
2007 Use this option to make configurations in directories separate from the
2008 source directories. @code{configure} writes configuration specific files
2009 in the current directory, but arranges for them to use the source in the
2010 directory @var{path}. @code{configure} will create directories under
2011 the working directory in parallel to the source directories below
2012 @var{path}. Among other things, you can use this to build (or maintain)
2013 several configurations simultaneously, in separate directories. (This
2014 option requires a @code{make} program with the @samp{VPATH} feature,
2015 such as the one included with Solaris 2.)
2016
2017 @item -norecursion
2018 Configure only the directory level where @code{configure} is executed; do not
2019 propagate configuration to subdirectories.
2020
2021 @item -target=@var{target}
2022 Configure the development tools for cross-development (compiling,
2023 debugging, or other processing) of programs running on the specified
2024 @var{target}. Without this option, programs are configured ``native'',
2025 that is, for managing programs that run on the same machine (@var{host})
2026 as the development tools themselves.
2027
2028 There is no convenient way to generate a list of all available targets.
2029
2030 @item @var{host} @dots{}
2031 Configure the development tools to run on the specified @var{host}.
2032
2033 There is no convenient way to generate a list of all available hosts.
2034 @end table
2035
2036 The @samp{-prefix=@var{dest}} and @samp{-exec-prefix=@var{bindest}}
2037 options are particularly important. If you don't specify a @var{dest}
2038 or @var{bindest} directory, the @file{Makefile} installs binaries in
2039 subdirectories of @file{/usr/local}. These options are important
2040 because the @var{dest} and @var{bindest} directories are used for
2041 several purposes:
2042
2043 @enumerate
2044 @item
2045 @var{bindest} is the directory where binaries are installed.
2046
2047 @item
2048 @var{bindest} is built into the compiler itself for the
2049 locations of @sc{gcc} specific include files, the locations of @sc{gcc}
2050 subprograms, and the location of the @sc{gcc} specific library
2051 @file{libgcc.a}.
2052
2053 @item
2054 @var{dest} is compiled into @code{info} as the default directory
2055 for the documentation.
2056
2057 @end enumerate
2058
2059 @node Compilation
2060 @section Compilation
2061
2062 After you've run @code{configure} (which writes the final
2063 @file{Makefile} in each directory), compilation is straightforward.
2064 To compile all the programs in the Developer's Kit, run:
2065
2066 @cartouche
2067 @example
2068 @b{make all info}
2069 @end example
2070 @end cartouche
2071
2072 The @code{make} output is lengthy; consider redirecting it to a file.
2073
2074 The overall @file{Makefile} propagates the value of the @code{CC}
2075 variable explicitly, so that you can easily control the compiler used in
2076 this step. @code{CFLAGS} is treated the same way. For instance, to
2077 build the compiler a second time, using @sc{gcc} to compile itself
2078 (after building and installing it in the alternate directory
2079 @file{/local/gnu}), you might use
2080
2081 @cartouche
2082 @example
2083 @b{make CC=/local/gnu/H-sun4/bin/gcc CFLAGS=-O all info}
2084 @end example
2085 @end cartouche
2086
2087 The conventional targets @samp{all}, @samp{install}, and @samp{clean}
2088 are supported at all levels of @file{Makefile}. Other targets are
2089 supported as well, as appropriate in each directory; please read the
2090 individual @file{Makefile} for details. Each @file{Makefile} in the
2091 source directories includes ample comments to help you read it. If you
2092 are not familiar with @code{make}, refer to @ref{Overview,,Overview of
2093 @code{make}, make.info, GNU Make: A Program for Directing
2094 Recompilation}.

2113 Developer's Kit on your system, to remove parts of the release.
2114 (Remember that the @code{Install} script was automatically saved for you
2115 as @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||/Install}.)

2119 options that you would use to install that portion of the release
2120 (@pxref{Install-Options,,Installation Options}). For example, suppose

2150
2151 Most of the tools in this Developer's Kit are originally from the Free
2152 Software Foundation (FSF). You can get versions of all these tools from
2153 the FSF as well as from Cygnus. In general, Cygnus releases add to FSF
2154 software in the following ways:
2155 @c UPDATE! more differences bet Cygnus/FSF releases?
2156
2157 @itemize @bullet
2158 @item
2159 All programs are ready to run. We supply preconfigured and precompiled
2160 binaries as well as the source code; you can start using the programs
2161 right away.
2162 @item
2163 Commercial support is available. Cygnus adds value to FSF releases in
2164 large measure by offering outstanding support services.
2165 @item
2166 Coordination. The tools in your Developer's Kit are certified to work
2167 together; you need not worry about tools being out of step with each other.
2168 @item
2169 Bug fixes. A Cygnus release includes many fixes, already integrated
2170 into the programs. Cygnus repairs bugs discovered during testing, and
2171 also tracks and includes bug fixes developed for other Cygnus customers
2172 or distributed over the Internet.
2173 @item
2174 Bug reporting. Cygnus releases include the tool @code{send_pr}, which
2175 you can use to make sure your problem reports receive prompt attention,
2176 and are also incorporated in our future tests.
2177 @item
2178 Documentation. Cygnus revises and adds to available FSF
2179 documentation to give you better descriptions of all the software tools.
2180 @item
2181 Stability. Cygnus tests (and uses) all the programs it releases.
2182 @end itemize
2183
2184 This particular Cygnus Progressive release differs from the nearest
2185 corresponding FSF distributions in one important detail: Solaris 2 is
2186 supported. The FSF distributions will eventually include Solaris 2
2187 support, as the Cygnus changes are merged into the FSF source, and the
2188 FSF makes new releases.

2192 @chapter About Cygnus Support
2193
2194 Cygnus Support was founded in 1989 to provide commercial support for
2195 free software. Cygnus supplies products and services that benefit
2196 advanced development groups by allowing them to use state-of-the-art
2197 tools without having to maintain them. With Cygnus Support, sites that
2198 once were forced to do their own tool support can recover that valuable
2199 staff time. Former users of proprietary software now may choose
2200 supported free software, combining the advantages of both worlds.
2201
2202 Free software is faster, more powerful, and more portable than its
2203 proprietary counterparts. It evolves faster because users who want to
2204 make improvements are free to do so. Cygnus tracks these
2205 improvements and integrates them into tested, stable versions ready
2206 for commercial use, then backs this software with comprehensive
2207 support.
2208
2209 With Cygnus Support as your partner, you will have the software and
2210 the support you need to meet your business objectives. Cygnus
2211 is intimately familiar with this software from extensive experience
2212 using, debugging, and implementing it. You get direct access to the
2213 most qualified support people: the authors of the software.
2214
2215 We provide ``vintage'' releases---the most stable versions, which have
2216 been though even more extensive use and testing---or up-to-the minute
2217 ``progressive'' releases, for those who need the very latest version.
2218
2219 Because all our improvements are also free software, you can
2220 distribute them widely within your organization, or to your customers,
2221 without extra cost.
