To build all of the tools contained herein, +run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: + + ./configure + make + +To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), +then do: + make install + +(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it +the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can +use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if +it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, +and OS.) + +If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to +explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to +also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): + + CC=gcc ./configure + make + +A similar example using csh: + + setenv CC gcc + ./configure + make + +Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by +the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or +COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the +GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. + +REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info +on where and how to report problems. |
