+                       GNU Development Tools
+                      A Cygnus Support Release
+
+
+This is the procedure for installing the a29k cross compiler on a
+sun4.
+
+
+0. Load the tape.
+
+       If you haven't already done so, load the tape with:
+
+               tar xvf /dev/rst8
+
+       It doesn't really matter where, so long as the hard disk space
+       is available.  The source for the tools will be loaded into
+       ./devo.
+
+       The installed portion of the tools will take about 4 Mbytes of
+       disk space.  Simply loading the source from tape will require
+       about 32 Mbytes.  Loading the source from tape, building, and
+       installing the tools will need about 46 Mbytes.
+
+       Once loaded:
+
+               cd devo
+
+1. Create destdir.
+
+       The default location for all installed files and programs is
+       /usr/local.  We refer to this directory as $(destdir).  You
+       can change $(destdir) only at configuration time.  This is
+       because some tools have hard coded pathnames.
+
+       If you change destdir after the tools are built, you will need
+       to "make clean" and then rebuild.  If you don't understand
+       this, you should probably be using the defaults for now.
+
+       User visible programs are installed in $(destdir)/bin.  All
+       other files and programs are installed in $(destdir)/lib/gcc.
+
+       If $(destdir) does not already exist, create it now.
+
+2. Configure the source.
+
+       If you use the default $(destdir):
+
+               configure +host=sun4 a29k
+
+       Otherwise:
+
+               configure +host=sun4 a29k +destdir=yourdestdir
+
+       where "yourdestdir" should be the name of the $(destdir) that
+       you've chosen.
+
+3. Build and install the tools.
+
+       Use:
+               make install
+
+       This will take about 20 minutes on an otherwise unloaded
+       SparcStation 2 with a quick, sync, SCSI hard disk.
+
+That's it.  You're done.  If you don't plan to hack these sources in
+the near future, you'll probably want to also:
+
+4. Remove intermediate object files.
+
+               make clean
+
+       and perhaps even:
+
+               cd .. ; rm -rf devo
+
+
+To use these tools, you will probably want to add $(destdir)/bin to
+your path.  The tools are named with the standard UNIX(tm) names with
+"-a29k" appended so as to avoid conflict with native development
+tools.  That is, nm-a29k, etc.
+
+For more information on usage, please refer to {LOTS OF VERY PRETTY
+HARD COPY} (sic) that you should have received with your tape.
