Also, the GNAT runtime should not +be stripped, as this would break certain features of the debugger that +depend on this debugging information (catching Ada exceptions for +instance). + + <p>That step completes the installation of GCC; user level binaries can +be found in <samp><var>prefix</var><span class="file">/bin</span></samp> where <var>prefix</var> is the value +you specified with the <samp><span class="option">--prefix</span></samp> to configure (or +<samp><span class="file">/usr/local</span></samp> by default). (If you specified <samp><span class="option">--bindir</span></samp>, +that directory will be used instead; otherwise, if you specified +<samp><span class="option">--exec-prefix</span></samp>, <samp><var>exec-prefix</var><span class="file">/bin</span></samp> will be used.) +Headers for the C++ and Java libraries are installed in +<samp><var>prefix</var><span class="file">/include</span></samp>; libraries in <samp><var>libdir</var></samp> +(normally <samp><var>prefix</var><span class="file">/lib</span></samp>); internal parts of the compiler in +<samp><var>libdir</var><span class="file">/gcc</span></samp> and <samp><var>libexecdir</var><span class="file">/gcc</span></samp>; documentation +in info format in <samp><var>infodir</var></samp> (normally +<samp><var>prefix</var><span class="file">/info</span></samp>). + + <p>When installing cross-compilers, GCC's executables +are not only installed into <samp><var>bindir</var></samp>, that +is, <samp><var>exec-prefix</var><span class="file">/bin</span></samp>, but additionally into +<samp><var>exec-prefix</var><span class="file">/</span><var>target-alias</var><span class="file">/bin</span></samp>, if that directory +exists. Typically, such <dfn>tooldirs</dfn> hold target-specific +binutils, including assembler and linker. + + <p>Installation into a temporary staging area or into a <samp><span class="command">chroot</span></samp> +jail can be achieved with the command + +<pre class="smallexample"> make DESTDIR=<var>path-to-rootdir</var> install +</pre> + <p class="noindent">where <var>path-to-rootdir</var> is the absolute path of +a directory relative to which all installation paths will be +interpreted. Note that the directory specified by <code>DESTDIR</code> +need not exist yet; it will be created if necessary. + + <p>There is a subtle point with tooldirs and <code>DESTDIR</code>: +If you relocate a cross-compiler installation with +e.g. ‘<samp><span class="samp">DESTDIR=</span><var>rootdir</var></samp>’, then the directory +<samp><var>rootdir</var><span class="file">/</span><var>exec-prefix</var><span class="file">/</span><var>target-alias</var><span class="file">/bin</span></samp> will +be filled with duplicated GCC executables only if it already exists, +it will not be created otherwise.

Do not send +that file itself, just the one-line output from running it. + + <li>The output of ‘<samp><span class="samp">gcc -v</span></samp>’ for your newly installed <samp><span class="command">gcc</span></samp>. +This tells us which version of GCC you built and the options you passed to +configure. + + <li>Whether you enabled all languages or a subset of them. If you used a +full distribution then this information is part of the configure +options in the output of ‘<samp><span class="samp">gcc -v</span></samp>’, but if you downloaded the +“core” compiler plus additional front ends then it isn't apparent +which ones you built unless you tell us about it. + + <li>If the build was for GNU/Linux, also include: + <ul> +<li>The distribution name and version (e.g., Red Hat 7.1 or Debian 2.2.3); +this information should be available from <samp><span class="file">/etc/issue</span></samp>. + + <li>The version of the Linux kernel, available from ‘<samp><span class="samp">uname --version</span></samp>’ +or ‘<samp><span class="samp">uname -a</span></samp>’. + + <li>The version of glibc you used; for RPM-based systems like Red Hat, +Mandrake, and SuSE type ‘<samp><span class="samp">rpm -q glibc</span></samp>’ to get the glibc version, +and on systems like Debian and Progeny use ‘<samp><span class="samp">dpkg -l libc6</span></samp>’. +</ul> + For other systems, you can include similar information if you think it is +relevant. + + <li>Any other information that you think would be useful to people building +GCC on the same configuration. The new entry in the build status list +will include a link to the archived copy of your message. +</ul> + + <p>We'd also like to know if the +<a href="specific.html">host/target specific installation notes</a> +didn't include your host/target information or if that information is +incomplete or out of date. Send a note to +<a href="mailto:gcc@gcc.gnu.org">gcc@gcc.gnu.org</a> detailing how the information should be changed. + + <p>If you find a bug, please report it following the +<a href="../bugs/">bug reporting guidelines</a>. + + <p>If you want to print the GCC manuals, do ‘<samp><span class="samp">cd </span><var>objdir</var><span class="samp">; make +dvi</span></samp>’. You will need to have <samp><span class="command">texi2dvi</span></samp> (version at least 4.7) +and TeX installed. This creates a number of <samp><span class="file">.dvi</span></samp> files in +subdirectories of <samp><var>objdir</var></samp>; these may be converted for +printing with programs such as <samp><span class="command">dvips</span></samp>. Alternately, by using +‘<samp><span class="samp">make pdf</span></samp>’ in place of ‘<samp><span class="samp">make dvi</span></samp>’, you can create documentation +in the form of <samp><span class="file">.pdf</span></samp> files; this requires <samp><span class="command">texi2pdf</span></samp>, which +is included with Texinfo version 4.8 and later.
