obtained gcc-4.6.4.tar.bz2 from upstream website;upstream
verified gcc-4.6.4.tar.bz2.sig;
imported gcc-4.6.4 source tree from verified upstream tarball.
downloading a git-generated archive based on the 'upstream' tag
should provide you with a source tree that is binary identical
to the one extracted from the above tarball.
if you have obtained the source via the command 'git clone',
however, do note that line-endings of files in your working
directory might differ from line-endings of the respective
files in the upstream repository.

Don't +try to run configure in this directory. Follow the configuration +instructions in ../README. + +Please report bugs to "gcc-bugs@gcc.gnu.org" and send fixes to +"gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org". Thank you. + +ADDING A NEW FILE +================= + +There are two sets of files: Those that are "required" will be +included in the library for all configurations, while those +that are "optional" will be included in the library only if "needed." + +To add a new required file, edit Makefile.in to add the source file +name to CFILES and the object file to REQUIRED_OFILES. + +To add a new optional file, it must provide a single function, and the +name of the function must be the same as the name of the file. + + * Add the source file name to CFILES in Makefile.in and the object + file to CONFIGURED_OFILES. + + * Add the function to name to the funcs shell variable in + configure.ac. + + * Add the function to the AC_CHECK_FUNCS lists just after the + setting of the funcs shell variable. These AC_CHECK_FUNCS calls + are never executed; they are there to make autoheader work + better. + + * Consider the special cases of building libiberty; as of this + writing, the special cases are newlib and VxWorks. If a + particular special case provides the function, you do not need + to do anything. If it does not provide the function, add the + object file to LIBOBJS, and add the function name to the case + controlling whether to define HAVE_func. + +Finally, in the build directory of libiberty, configure with +"--enable-maintainer-mode", run "make maint-deps" to update +Makefile.in, and run 'make stamp-functions' to regenerate +functions.texi. + +The optional file you've added (e.g. getcwd.c) should compile and work +on all hosts where it is needed. It does not have to work or even +compile on hosts where it is not needed. + +ADDING A NEW CONFIGURATION +========================== + +On most hosts you should be able to use the scheme for automatically +figuring out which files are needed. In that case, you probably +don't need a special Makefile stub for that configuration. + +If the fully automatic scheme doesn't work, you may be able to get +by with defining EXTRA_OFILES in your Makefile stub. This is +a list of object file names that should be treated as required +for this configuration - they will be included in libiberty.a, +regardless of whatever might be in the C library. |
