-Some Basic Terms
-****************
-
- There are a lot of terms that are frequently used when discussing
-development tools. Most of the common terms have been used for many
-different concepts such that their meanings have become ambiguous to the
-point of being confusing. Typically, we only guess at their meanings
-from context and we frequently guess wrong.
-
- This document uses very few terms by comparison. The intent is to
-make the concepts as clear as possible in order to convey the usage and
-intent of these tools.
-
- *Programs* run on *machines*. Programs are very nearly always
-written in *source*. Programs are *built* from source. *Compilation*
-is a process that is frequently, but not always, used when building
-programs.

-
-Host Environments
-=================
-
- In this document, the word *host* refers to the environment in which
-the source in question will be compiled. *host* and *host name* have
-nothing to do with the proper name of your host, like *ucbvax*,
-*prep.ai.mit.edu* or *att.com*. Instead they refer to things like
-*sun4* and *dec3100*.
-
- Forget for a moment that this particular directory of source is the
-source for a development environment. Instead, pretend that it is the
-source for a simpler, more mundane, application, say, a desk calculator.
-
- Source that can be compiled in more than one environment, generally
-needs to be set up for each environment explicitly. Here we refer to
-that process as configuration. That is, we configure the source for a
-host.
-
- For example, if we wanted to configure our mythical desk calculator
-to compile on a SparcStation, we might configure for host sun4. With
-our configuration system:
-
- cd desk-calculator ; ./configure sun4
-
-does the trick. `configure' is a shell script that sets up Makefiles,
-subdirectories, and symbolic links appropriate for compiling the source
-on a sun4.
-
- The *host* environment does not necessarily refer to the machine on
-which the tools are built. It is possible to provide a sun3 development
-environment on a sun4. If we wanted to use a cross compiler on the sun4
-to build a program intended to be run on a sun3, we would configure the
-source for sun3.
-
- cd desk-calculator ; ./configure sun3
-
-The fact that we are actually building the program on a sun4 makes no
-difference if the sun3 cross compiler presents an environment that looks
-like a sun3 from the point of view of the desk calculator source code.
-Specifically, the environment is a sun3 environment if the header files,
-predefined symbols, and libraries appear as they do on a sun3.
-
- Nor does the host environment refer to the the machine on which the
-program to be built will run. It is possible to provide a sun3
-emulation environment on a sun4 such that programs built in a sun3
-development environment actually run on the sun4. This technique is
-often used within individual programs to remedy deficiencies in the host
-operating system. For example, some operating systems do not provide
-the `bcopy' function and so it is emulated using the `memcpy' funtion.
-
- Host environment simply refers to the environment in which the
-program will be built from the source.
-
-
-File: cfg-paper.info, Node: Configuration Time Options, Prev: Host Environments, Up: Some Basic Terms
-
-Configuration Time Options
-==========================
-
- Many programs have compile time options. That is, features of the
-program that are either compiled into the program or not based on a
-choice made by the person who builds the program. We refer to these as
-*configuration options*. For example, our desk calculator might be
-capable of being compiled into a program that either uses infix notation
-or postfix as a configuration option. For a sun3, to choose infix you
-might use:
-
- ./configure sun3 --enable-notation=infix
-
-while for a sun4 with postfix you might use:
-
- ./configure sun4 --enable-notation=postfix
-
- If we wanted to build both at the same time, the intermediate pieces
-used in the build process must be kept separate.
-
- mkdir ../objdir.sun4
- (cd ../objdir.sun4 ; ../configure sun4 --enable-notation=postfix --srcdir=../src)
- mkdir ../objdir.sun3
- (cd ../objdir.sun3 ; ../configure sun3 --enable-notation=infix --srcdir=../src)
-
-will create subdirectories for the intermediate pieces of the sun4 and
-sun3 configurations. This is necessary as previous systems were only
-capable of one configuration at a time. Otherwise, a second
-configuration would write over the first. We've chosen to retain this
-behaviour so the obj directories and the `--srcdir' configuration
-option are necessary to get the new behaviour. The order of the
-arguments doesn't matter. There should be exactly one argument without
-a leading `-' and that argument will be assumed to be the host name.
-
- From here on the examples will assume that you want to build the
-tools *in place* and won't show the `--srcdir' option, but remember
-that it is available.
-
- In order to actually install the program, the configuration system
-needs to know where you would like the program installed. The default
-location is `/usr/local'. We refer to this location as `$(prefix)'.
-All user visible programs will be installed in ``$(prefix)'/bin'. All
-other programs and files will be installed in a subdirectory of
-``$(prefix)'/lib'.
-
- You can only change `$(prefix)' as a configuration time option.
-
- ./configure sun4 --enable-notation=postfix --prefix=/local
-
-Will configure the source such that:
-
- make install
-
-will put its programs in `/local/bin' and `/local/lib/gcc'. If you
-change `$(prefix)' after building the source, you will need to:
-
- make clean
-
-before the change will be propogated properly. This is because some
-tools need to know the locations of other tools.
-
- With these concepts in mind, we can drop the desk calculator example
-and move on to the application that resides in these directories,
-namely, the source to a development environment.

-Specifics
-*********
-
- The GNU Development Tools can be built on a wide variety of hosts.
-So, of course, they must be configured. Like the last example,
-
- ./configure sun4 --prefix=/local
- ./configure sun3 --prefix=/local
-
-will configure the source to be built in subdirectories, in order to
-keep the intermediate pieces separate, and to be installed in `/local'.
-
- When built with suitable development environments, these will be
-native tools. We'll explain the term *native* later.

-Building Development Environments
-*********************************
-
- The GNU development tools can not only be built in a number of host
-development environments, they can also be configured to create a
-number of different development environments on each of those hosts.
-We refer to a specific development environment created as a *target*.
-That is, the word *target* refers to the development environment
-produced by compiling this source and installing the resulting programs.
-
- For the GNU development tools, the default target is the same as the
-host. That is, the development environment produced is intended to be
-compatible with the environment used to build the tools.
-
- In the example above, we created two configurations, one for sun4 and
-one for sun3. The first configuration is expecting to be built in a
-sun4 development environment, to create a sun4 development environment.
-It doesn't necessarily need to be built on a sun4 if a sun4 development
-environment is available elsewhere. Likewise, if the available sun4
-development environment produces executables intended for something
-other than sun4, then the development environment built from this sun4
-configuration will run on something other than a sun4. From the point
-of view of the configuration system and the GNU development tools
-source, this doesn't matter. What matters is that they will be built in
-a sun4 environment.
-
- Similarly, the second configuration given above is expecting to be
-built in a sun3 development environment, to create a sun3 development
-environment.
-
- The development environment produced is a configuration time option,
-just like `$(prefix)'.
-
- ./configure sun4 --prefix=/local --target=sun3
- ./configure sun3 --prefix=/local --target=sun4
-
- In this example, like before, we create two configurations. The
-first is intended to be built in a sun4 environment, in subdirectories,
-to be installed in `/local'. The second is intended to be built in a
-sun3 environment, in subdirectories, to be installed in `/local'.
-
- Unlike the previous example, the first configuration will produce a
-sun3 development environment, perhaps even suitable for building the
-second configuration. Likewise, the second configuration will produce
-a sun4 development environment, perhaps even suitable for building the
-first configuration.
-
- The development environment used to build these configurations will
-determine the machines on which the resulting development environments
-can be used.

-Native Development Environments
-===============================
-
- Let us assume for a moment that you have a sun4 and that with your
-sun4 you received a development environment. This development
-environment is intended to be run on your sun4 to build programs that
-can be run on your sun4. You could, for instance, run this development
-environment on your sun4 to build our example desk calculator program.
-You could then run the desk calculator program on your sun4.
-
- The resulting desk calculator program is referred to as a *native*
-program. The development environment itself is composed of native
-programs that, when run, build other native programs. Any other program
-is referred to as *foreign*. Programs intended for other machines are
-foreign programs.
-
- This type of development environment, which is by far the most
-common, is refered to as *native*. That is, a native development
-environment runs on some machine to build programs for that same
-machine. The process of using a native development environment to
-build native programs is called a *native* build.
-
- ./configure sun4
-
-will configure this source such that when built in a sun4 development
-environment, with a development environment that builds programs
-intended to be run on sun4 machines, the programs built will be native
-programs and the resulting development environment will be a native
-development environment.
-
- The development system that came with your sun4 is one such
-environment. Using it to build the GNU Development Tools is a very
-common activity and the resulting development environment is quite
-popular.
-
- make all
-
-will build the tools as configured and will assume that you want to use
-the native development environment that came with your machine.
-
- Using a development environment to build a development environment is
-called *bootstrapping*. The release of the GNU Development Tools is
-capable of bootstrapping itself. This is a very powerful feature that
-we'll return to later. For now, let's pretend that you used the native
-development environment that came with your sun4 to bootstrap the
-release and let's call the new development environment *stage1*.
-
- Why bother? Well, most people find that the GNU development
-environment builds programs that run faster and take up less space than
-the native development environments that came with their machines. Some
-people didn't get development environments with their machines and some
-people just like using the GNU tools better than using other tools.
-
- While you're at it, if the GNU tools produce better programs, maybe
-you should use them to build the GNU tools. So let's pretend that you
-do. Let's call the new development environment *stage2*.
-
- So far you've built a development environment, stage1, and you've
-used stage1 to build a new, faster and smaller development environment,
-stage2, but you haven't run any of the programs that the GNU tools have
-built. You really don't yet know if these tools work. Do you have any
-programs built with the GNU tools? Yes, you do. stage2. What does
-that program do? It builds programs. Ok, do you have any source handy
-to build into a program? Yes, you do. The GNU tools themselves. In
-fact, if you use stage2 to build the GNU tools again the resulting
-programs should be identical to stage2. Let's pretend that you do and
-call the new development environment *stage3*.
-
- You've just completed what's called a *three stage boot*. You now
-have a small, fast, somewhat tested, development environment.
-
- make bootstrap
-
-will do a three stage boot across all tools and will compare stage2 to
-stage3 and complain if they are not identical.
-
- Once built,
-
- make install
-
-will install the development environment in the default location, or in
-`$(prefix)' if you specified an alternate when you configured.
-
- Any development environment that is not a native development
-environment is refered to as a *cross* development environment. There
-are many different types of cross development environments but most
-fall into one of three basic categories.
-
-
-File: cfg-paper.info, Node: Emulation Environments, Next: Simple Cross Environments, Prev: Native Development Environments, Up: A Walk Through
-
-Emulation Environments
-======================
-
- The first category of cross development environment is called
-*emulation*. There are two primary types of emulation, but both types
-result in programs that run on the native host.
-
- The first type is *software emulation*. This form of cross
-development environment involves a native program that when run on the
-native host, is capable of interpreting, and in most aspects running, a
-program intended for some other machine. This technique is typically
-used when the other machine is either too expensive, too slow, too fast,
-or not available, perhaps because it hasn't yet been built. The native,
-interpreting program is called a *software emulator*.
-
- The GNU Development Tools do not currently include any software
-emulators. Some do exist and the GNU Development Tools can be
-configured to create simple cross development environments for with
-these emulators. More on this later.
-
- The second type of emulation is when source intended for some other
-development environment is built into a program intended for the native
-host. The concepts of operating system universes and hosted operating
-systems are two such development environments.
-
-
-File: cfg-paper.info, Node: Simple Cross Environments, Next: Crossing Into Targets, Prev: Emulation Environments, Up: A Walk Through
-
-Simple Cross Environments
-=========================
-
- ./configure sun4 --target=a29k
-
-will configure the tools such that when compiled in a sun4 development
-environment the resulting development environment can be used to create
-programs intended for an a29k. Again, this does not necessarily mean
-that the new development environment can be run on a sun4. That would
-depend on the development environment used to build these tools.
-
- Earlier you saw how to configure the tools to build a native
-development environment, that is, a development environment that runs
-on your sun4 and builds programs for your sun4. Let's pretend that you
-use stage3 to build this simple cross configuration and let's call the
-new development environment gcc-a29k. Remember that this is a native
-build. Gcc-a29k is a collection of native programs intended to run on
-your sun4. That's what stage3 builds, programs for your sun4.
-Gcc-a29k represents an a29k development environment that builds
-programs intended to run on an a29k. But, remember, gcc-a29k runs on
-your sun4. Programs built with gcc-a29k will run on your sun4 only
-with the help of an appropriate software emulator.
-
- Building gcc-a29k is also a bootstrap but of a slightly different
-sort. We call gcc-a29k a *simple cross* environment and using gcc-a29k
-to build a program intended for a29k is called *crossing to* a29k.
-Simple cross environments are the second category of cross development
-environments.
-
-
-File: cfg-paper.info, Node: Crossing Into Targets, Next: Canadian Cross, Prev: Simple Cross Environments, Up: A Walk Through
-
-Crossing Into Targets
-=====================
-
- ./configure a29k --target=a29k
-
-will configure the tools such that when compiled in an a29k development
-environment, the resulting development environment can be used to create
-programs intended for an a29k. Again, this does not necessarily mean
-that the new development environment can be run on an a29k. That would
-depend on the development environment used to build these tools.
-
- If you've been following along this walk through, then you've already
-built an a29k environment, namely gcc-a29k. Let's pretend you use
-gcc-a29k to build the current configuration.
-
- Gcc-a29k builds programs intended for the a29k so the new development
-environment will be intended for use on an a29k. That is, this new gcc
-consists of programs that are foreign to your sun4. They cannot be run
-on your sun4.
-
- The process of building this configuration is a another bootstrap.
-This bootstrap is also a cross to a29k. Because this type of build is
-both a bootstrap and a cross to a29k, it is sometimes referred to as a
-*cross into* a29k. This new development environment isn't really a
-cross development environment at all. It is intended to run on an a29k
-to produce programs for an a29k. You'll remember that this makes it, by
-definition, an a29k native compiler. *Crossing into* has been
-introduced here not because it is a type of cross development
-environment, but because it is frequently mistaken as one. The process
-is *a cross* but the resulting development environment is a native
-development environment.
-
- You could not have built this configuration with stage3, because
-stage3 doesn't provide an a29k environment. Instead it provides a sun4
-environment.
-
- If you happen to have an a29k lying around, you could now use this
-fresh development environment on the a29k to three-stage these tools
-all over again. This process would look just like it did when we built
-the native sun4 development environment because we would be building
-another native development environment, this one on a29k.
-
-
-File: cfg-paper.info, Node: Canadian Cross, Prev: Crossing Into Targets, Up: A Walk Through
-
-Canadian Cross
-==============
-
- So far you've seen that our development environment source must be
-configured for a specific host and for a specific target. You've also
-seen that the resulting development environment depends on the
-development environment used in the build process.
-
- When all four match identically, that is, the configured host, the
-configured target, the environment presented by the development
-environment used in the build, and the machine on which the resulting
-development environment is intended to run, then the new development
-environment will be a native development environment.
-
- When all four match except the configured host, then we can assume
-that the development environment used in the build is some form of
-library emulation.
-
- When all four match except for the configured target, then the
-resulting development environment will be a simple cross development
-environment.
-
- When all four match except for the host on which the development
-environment used in the build runs, the build process is a *cross into*
-and the resulting development environment will be native to some other
-machine.
-
- Most of the other permutations do exist in some form, but only one
-more is interesting to the current discussion.
-
- ./configure a29k --target=sun3
-
-will configure the tools such that when compiled in an a29k development
-environment, the resulting development environment can be used to create
-programs intended for a sun3. Again, this does not necessarily mean
-that the new development environment can be run on an a29k. That would
-depend on the development environment used to build these tools.
-
- If you are still following along, then you have two a29k development
-environments, the native development environment that runs on a29k, and
-the simple cross that runs on your sun4. If you use the a29k native
-development environment on the a29k, you will be doing the same thing we
-did a while back, namely building a simple cross from a29k to sun3.
-Let's pretend that instead, you use gcc-a29k, the simple cross
-development environment that runs on sun4 but produces programs for
-a29k.
-
- The resulting development environment will run on a29k because that's
-what gcc-a29k builds, a29k programs. This development environment will
-produce programs for a sun3 because that is how it was configured. This
-means that the resulting development environment is a simple cross.
-
- There really isn't a common name for this process because very few
-development environments are capable of being configured this
-extensively. For the sake of discussion, let's call this process a
-*Canadian cross*. It's a three party cross, Canada has a three party
-system, hence Canadian Cross.

-Final Notes
-***********
-
- By *configures*, I mean that links, Makefile, .gdbinit, and
-config.status are built. Configuration is always done from the source
-directory.
-
-`./configure NAME'
- configures this directory, perhaps recursively, for a single
- host+target pair where the host and target are both NAME. If a
- previous configuration existed, it will be overwritten.
-
-`./configure HOSTNAME --target=TARGETNAME'
- configures this directory, perhaps recursively, for a single
- host+target pair where the host is HOSTNAME and target is
- TARGETNAME. If a previous configuration existed, it will be
- overwritten.

-
-Hacking Configurations
-======================
-
- The configure scripts essentially do three things, create
-subdirectories if appropriate, build a `Makefile', and create links to
-files, all based on and tailored to, a specific host+target pair. The
-scripts also create a `.gdbinit' if appropriate but this is not
-tailored.
-
- The Makefile is created by prepending some variable definitions to a
-Makefile template called `Makefile.in' and then inserting host and
-target specific Makefile fragments. The variables are set based on the
-chosen host+target pair and build style, that is, if you use `--srcdir'
-or not. The host and target specific Makefile may or may not exist.
-
- * Makefiles can be edited directly, but those changes will
- eventually be lost. Changes intended to be permanent for a
- specific host should be made to the host specific Makefile
- fragment. This should be in `./config/mh-HOST' if it exists.
- Changes intended to be permanent for a specific target should be
- made to the target specific Makefile fragment. This should be in
- `./config/mt-TARGET' if it exists. Changes intended to be
- permanent for the directory should be made in `Makefile.in'. To
- propogate changes to any of these, either use `make Makefile' or
- `./config.status' or re-configure.

-@chapter Some Basic Terms
-
-There are a lot of terms that are frequently used when discussing
-development tools. Most of the common terms have been used for many
-different concepts such that their meanings have become ambiguous to the
-point of being confusing. Typically, we only guess at their meanings
-from context and we frequently guess wrong.
-
-This document uses very few terms by comparison. The intent is to make
-the concepts as clear as possible in order to convey the usage and
-intent of these tools.
-
-@emph{Programs} run on @emph{machines}. Programs are very nearly always
-written in @emph{source}. Programs are @emph{built} from source.
-@emph{Compilation} is a process that is frequently, but not always, used
-when building programs.

-@section Host Environments
-
-@cindex host
-In this document, the word @emph{host} refers to the environment in
-which the source in question will be compiled. @emph{host} and
-@emph{host name} have nothing to do with the proper name of your host,
-like @emph{ucbvax}, @emph{prep.ai.mit.edu} or @emph{att.com}. Instead
-they refer to things like @emph{sun4} and @emph{dec3100}.
-
-Forget for a moment that this particular directory of source is the
-source for a development environment. Instead, pretend that it is the
-source for a simpler, more mundane, application, say, a desk calculator.
-
-Source that can be compiled in more than one environment, generally
-needs to be set up for each environment explicitly. Here we refer to
-that process as configuration. That is, we configure the source for a
-host.
-
-For example, if we wanted to configure our mythical desk calculator to
-compile on a SparcStation, we might configure for host sun4. With our
-configuration system:
-
-@example
-cd desk-calculator ; ./configure sun4
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-does the trick. @code{configure} is a shell script that sets up Makefiles,
-subdirectories, and symbolic links appropriate for compiling the source
-on a sun4.
-
-The @emph{host} environment does not necessarily refer to the machine on
-which the tools are built. It is possible to provide a sun3 development
-environment on a sun4. If we wanted to use a cross compiler on the sun4
-to build a program intended to be run on a sun3, we would configure the
-source for sun3.
-
-@example
-cd desk-calculator ; ./configure sun3
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-The fact that we are actually building the program on a sun4 makes no
-difference if the sun3 cross compiler presents an environment that looks
-like a sun3 from the point of view of the desk calculator source code.
-Specifically, the environment is a sun3 environment if the header files,
-predefined symbols, and libraries appear as they do on a sun3.
-
-Nor does the host environment refer to the the machine on which the
-program to be built will run. It is possible to provide a sun3
-emulation environment on a sun4 such that programs built in a sun3
-development environment actually run on the sun4. This technique is
-often used within individual programs to remedy deficiencies in the host
-operating system. For example, some operating systems do not provide
-the @code{bcopy} function and so it is emulated using the
-@code{memcpy} funtion.
-
-Host environment simply refers to the environment in which the program
-will be built from the source.
-
-
-@node Configuration Time Options, , Host Environments, Some Basic Terms
-@section Configuration Time Options
-
-Many programs have compile time options. That is, features of the
-program that are either compiled into the program or not based on a
-choice made by the person who builds the program. We refer to these as
-@emph{configuration options}. For example, our desk calculator might be
-capable of being compiled into a program that either uses infix notation
-or postfix as a configuration option. For a sun3, to choose infix you
-might use:
-
-@example
-./configure sun3 --enable-notation=infix
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-while for a sun4 with postfix you might use:
-
-@example
-./configure sun4 --enable-notation=postfix
-@end example
-
-If we wanted to build both at the same time, the intermediate pieces
-used in the build process must be kept separate.
-
-@example
-mkdir ../objdir.sun4
-(cd ../objdir.sun4 ; ../configure sun4 --enable-notation=postfix --srcdir=../src)
-mkdir ../objdir.sun3
-(cd ../objdir.sun3 ; ../configure sun3 --enable-notation=infix --srcdir=../src)
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-will create subdirectories for the intermediate pieces of the sun4 and
-sun3 configurations. This is necessary as previous systems were only
-capable of one configuration at a time. Otherwise, a second
-configuration would write over the first. We've chosen to retain this
-behaviour so the obj directories and the @code{--srcdir} configuration
-option are necessary to get the new behaviour. The order of the
-arguments doesn't matter. There should be exactly one argument without
-a leading @samp{-} and that argument will be assumed to be the host
-name.
-
-From here on the examples will assume that you want to build the tools
-@emph{in place} and won't show the @code{--srcdir} option, but remember
-that it is available.
-
-In order to actually install the program, the configuration system needs
-to know where you would like the program installed. The default
-location is @file{/usr/local}. We refer to this location as
-@code{$(prefix)}. All user visible programs will be installed in
-@file{@code{$(prefix)}/bin}. All other programs and files will be
-installed in a subdirectory of @file{@code{$(prefix)}/lib}.
-
-You can only change @code{$(prefix)} as a configuration time
-option.
-
-@example
-./configure sun4 --enable-notation=postfix --prefix=/local
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-Will configure the source such that:
-
-@example
-make install
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-will put its programs in @file{/local/bin} and @file{/local/lib/gcc}.
-If you change @code{$(prefix)} after building the source, you will need
-to:
-
-@example
-make clean
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-before the change will be propogated properly. This is because some
-tools need to know the locations of other tools.
-
-With these concepts in mind, we can drop the desk calculator example and
-move on to the application that resides in these directories, namely,
-the source to a development environment.
-
-@node Specifics., Building Development Environments, Some Basic Terms, top
-@chapter Specifics
-
-The @sc{gnu} Development Tools can be built on a wide variety of hosts. So,
-of course, they must be configured. Like the last example,
-
-@example
-./configure sun4 --prefix=/local
-./configure sun3 --prefix=/local
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-will configure the source to be built in subdirectories, in order to
-keep the intermediate pieces separate, and to be installed in
-@file{/local}.
-
-When built with suitable development environments, these will be native

-
-@cindex Target
-
-The @sc{gnu} development tools can not only be built in a
-number of host development environments, they can also be configured to
-create a number of different development environments on each of those
-hosts. We refer to a specific development environment created as a
-@emph{target}. That is, the word @emph{target} refers to the development
-environment produced by compiling this source and installing the
-resulting programs.
-
-For the @sc{gnu} development tools, the default target is the
-same as the host. That is, the development environment produced is
-intended to be compatible with the environment used to build the tools.
-
-In the example above, we created two configurations, one for sun4 and
-one for sun3. The first configuration is expecting to be built in a
-sun4 development environment, to create a sun4 development environment.
-It doesn't necessarily need to be built on a sun4 if a sun4 development
-environment is available elsewhere. Likewise, if the available sun4
-development environment produces executables intended for something
-other than sun4, then the development environment built from this sun4
-configuration will run on something other than a sun4. From the point
-of view of the configuration system and the @sc{gnu} development tools
-source, this doesn't matter. What matters is that they will be built in
-a sun4 environment.
-
-Similarly, the second configuration given above is expecting to be built
-in a sun3 development environment, to create a sun3 development
-environment.
-
-The development environment produced is a configuration time option,
-just like @code{$(prefix)}.
-
-@example
-./configure sun4 --prefix=/local --target=sun3
-./configure sun3 --prefix=/local --target=sun4
-@end example
-
-In this example, like before, we create two configurations. The first
-is intended to be built in a sun4 environment, in subdirectories, to be
-installed in @file{/local}. The second is intended to be built in a
-sun3 environment, in subdirectories, to be installed in @file{/local}.
-
-Unlike the previous example, the first configuration will produce a sun3
-development environment, perhaps even suitable for building the second
-configuration. Likewise, the second configuration will produce a sun4
-development environment, perhaps even suitable for building the first
-configuration.
-
-The development environment used to build these configurations will
-determine the machines on which the resulting development environments
-can be used.

-@section Native Development Environments
-
-Let us assume for a moment that you have a sun4 and that with your sun4
-you received a development environment. This development environment is
-intended to be run on your sun4 to build programs that can be run on
-your sun4. You could, for instance, run this development environment on
-your sun4 to build our example desk calculator program. You could then
-run the desk calculator program on your sun4.
-
-@cindex Native
-@cindex Foreign
-The resulting desk calculator program is referred to as a @emph{native}
-program. The development environment itself is composed of native
-programs that, when run, build other native programs. Any other program
-is referred to as @emph{foreign}. Programs intended for other machines are
-foreign programs.
-
-This type of development environment, which is by far the most common,
-is refered to as @emph{native}. That is, a native development environment
-runs on some machine to build programs for that same machine. The
-process of using a native development environment to build native
-programs is called a @emph{native} build.
-
-@example
-./configure sun4
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-will configure this source such that when built in a sun4 development
-environment, with a development environment that builds programs
-intended to be run on sun4 machines, the programs built will be native
-programs and the resulting development environment will be a native
-development environment.
-
-The development system that came with your sun4 is one such environment.
-Using it to build the @sc{gnu} Development Tools is a very common activity
-and the resulting development environment is quite popular.
-
-@example
-make all
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-will build the tools as configured and will assume that you want to use
-the native development environment that came with your machine.
-
-@cindex Bootstrapping
-@cindex Stage1
-Using a development environment to build a development environment is
-called @emph{bootstrapping}. The release of the @sc{gnu}
-Development Tools is capable of bootstrapping itself. This is a very
-powerful feature that we'll return to later. For now, let's pretend
-that you used the native development environment that came with your
-sun4 to bootstrap the release and let's call the new
-development environment @emph{stage1}.
-
-Why bother? Well, most people find that the @sc{gnu} development
-environment builds programs that run faster and take up less space than
-the native development environments that came with their machines. Some
-people didn't get development environments with their machines and some
-people just like using the @sc{gnu} tools better than using other tools.
-
-@cindex Stage2
-While you're at it, if the @sc{gnu} tools produce better programs, maybe you
-should use them to build the @sc{gnu} tools. So let's
-pretend that you do. Let's call the new development environment
-@emph{stage2}.
-
-@cindex Stage3
-So far you've built a development environment, stage1, and you've used
-stage1 to build a new, faster and smaller development environment,
-stage2, but you haven't run any of the programs that the @sc{gnu} tools have
-built. You really don't yet know if these tools work. Do you have any
-programs built with the @sc{gnu} tools? Yes, you do. stage2. What does
-that program do? It builds programs. Ok, do you have any source handy
-to build into a program? Yes, you do. The @sc{gnu} tools themselves. In
-fact, if you use stage2 to build the @sc{gnu} tools again the resulting
-programs should be identical to stage2. Let's pretend that you do and
-call the new development environment @emph{stage3}.
-
-@cindex Three stage boot
-You've just completed what's called a @emph{three stage boot}. You now have
-a small, fast, somewhat tested, development environment.
-
-@example
-make bootstrap
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-will do a three stage boot across all tools and will compare stage2 to
-stage3 and complain if they are not identical.
-
-Once built,
-
-@example
-make install
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-will install the development environment in the default location, or in
-@code{$(prefix)} if you specified an alternate when you configured.
-
-@cindex Cross
-Any development environment that is not a native development environment
-is refered to as a @emph{cross} development environment. There are many
-different types of cross development environments but most fall into one
-of three basic categories.
-
-
-@node Emulation Environments, Simple Cross Environments, Native Development Environments, A Walk Through
-@section Emulation Environments
-
-@cindex Emulation
-The first category of cross development environment is called
-@emph{emulation}. There are two primary types of emulation, but both
-types result in programs that run on the native host.
-
-@cindex Software emulation
-@cindex Software emulator
-The first type is @emph{software emulation}. This form of cross
-development environment involves a native program that when run on the
-native host, is capable of interpreting, and in most aspects running, a
-program intended for some other machine. This technique is typically
-used when the other machine is either too expensive, too slow, too fast,
-or not available, perhaps because it hasn't yet been built. The native,
-interpreting program is called a @emph{software emulator}.
-
-The @sc{gnu} Development Tools do not currently include any software
-emulators. Some do exist and the @sc{gnu} Development Tools can be
-configured to create simple cross development environments for with
-these emulators. More on this later.
-
-The second type of emulation is when source intended for some other
-development environment is built into a program intended for the native
-host. The concepts of operating system universes and hosted operating
-systems are two such development environments.
-
-@node Simple Cross Environments, Crossing Into Targets, Emulation Environments, A Walk Through
-@section Simple Cross Environments
-
-@example
-./configure sun4 --target=a29k
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-will configure the tools such that when compiled in a sun4 development
-environment the resulting development environment can be used to create
-programs intended for an a29k. Again, this does not necessarily mean
-that the new development environment can be run on a sun4. That would
-depend on the development environment used to build these tools.
-
-Earlier you saw how to configure the tools to build a native development
-environment, that is, a development environment that runs on your sun4
-and builds programs for your sun4. Let's pretend that you use stage3 to
-build this simple cross configuration and let's call the new development
-environment gcc-a29k. Remember that this is a native build. Gcc-a29k
-is a collection of native programs intended to run on your sun4. That's
-what stage3 builds, programs for your sun4. Gcc-a29k represents an a29k
-development environment that builds programs intended to run on an a29k.
-But, remember, gcc-a29k runs on your sun4. Programs built with gcc-a29k
-will run on your sun4 only with the help of an appropriate software
-emulator.
-
-@cindex Simple cross
-@cindex Crossing to
-Building gcc-a29k is also a bootstrap but of a slightly different sort.
-We call gcc-a29k a @emph{simple cross} environment and using gcc-a29k to
-build a program intended for a29k is called @emph{crossing to} a29k.
-Simple cross environments are the second category of cross development
-environments.
-
-
-@node Crossing Into Targets, Canadian Cross, Simple Cross Environments, A Walk Through
-@section Crossing Into Targets
-
-@example
-./configure a29k --target=a29k
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-will configure the tools such that when compiled in an a29k development
-environment, the resulting development environment can be used to create
-programs intended for an a29k. Again, this does not necessarily mean
-that the new development environment can be run on an a29k. That would
-depend on the development environment used to build these tools.
-
-If you've been following along this walk through, then you've already
-built an a29k environment, namely gcc-a29k. Let's pretend you use
-gcc-a29k to build the current configuration.
-
-Gcc-a29k builds programs intended for the a29k so the new development
-environment will be intended for use on an a29k. That is, this new gcc
-consists of programs that are foreign to your sun4. They cannot be run
-on your sun4.
-
-@cindex Crossing into
-The process of building this configuration is a another bootstrap. This
-bootstrap is also a cross to a29k. Because this type of build is both a
-bootstrap and a cross to a29k, it is sometimes referred to as a
-@emph{cross into} a29k. This new development environment isn't really a
-cross development environment at all. It is intended to run on an a29k
-to produce programs for an a29k. You'll remember that this makes it, by
-definition, an a29k native compiler. @emph{Crossing into} has been
-introduced here not because it is a type of cross development
-environment, but because it is frequently mistaken as one. The process
-is @emph{a cross} but the resulting development environment is a native
-development environment.
-
-You could not have built this configuration with stage3, because stage3
-doesn't provide an a29k environment. Instead it provides a sun4
-environment.
-
-If you happen to have an a29k lying around, you could now use this fresh
-development environment on the a29k to three-stage these tools all over
-again. This process would look just like it did when we built the
-native sun4 development environment because we would be building another
-native development environment, this one on a29k.
-
-
-@node Canadian Cross, , Crossing Into Targets, A Walk Through
-@section Canadian Cross
-
-So far you've seen that our development environment source must be
-configured for a specific host and for a specific target. You've also
-seen that the resulting development environment depends on the
-development environment used in the build process.
-
-When all four match identically, that is, the configured host, the
-configured target, the environment presented by the development
-environment used in the build, and the machine on which the resulting
-development environment is intended to run, then the new development
-environment will be a native development environment.
-
-When all four match except the configured host, then we can assume that
-the development environment used in the build is some form of library
-emulation.
-
-When all four match except for the configured target, then the resulting
-development environment will be a simple cross development environment.
-
-When all four match except for the host on which the development
-environment used in the build runs, the build process is a @emph{cross into}
-and the resulting development environment will be native to some other
-machine.
-
-Most of the other permutations do exist in some form, but only one more
-is interesting to the current discussion.
-
-@example
-./configure a29k --target=sun3
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-will configure the tools such that when compiled in an a29k development
-environment, the resulting development environment can be used to create
-programs intended for a sun3. Again, this does not necessarily mean
-that the new development environment can be run on an a29k. That would
-depend on the development environment used to build these tools.
-
-If you are still following along, then you have two a29k development
-environments, the native development environment that runs on a29k, and
-the simple cross that runs on your sun4. If you use the a29k native
-development environment on the a29k, you will be doing the same thing we
-did a while back, namely building a simple cross from a29k to sun3.
-Let's pretend that instead, you use gcc-a29k, the simple cross
-development environment that runs on sun4 but produces programs for
-a29k.
-
-The resulting development environment will run on a29k because that's
-what gcc-a29k builds, a29k programs. This development environment will
-produce programs for a sun3 because that is how it was configured. This
-means that the resulting development environment is a simple cross.
-
-@cindex Canadian Cross
-@cindex Three party cross
-There really isn't a common name for this process because very few
-development environments are capable of being configured this
-extensively. For the sake of discussion, let's call this process a
-@emph{Canadian cross}. It's a three party cross, Canada has a three
-party system, hence Canadian Cross.
-
-@node Final Notes, Index, A Walk Through, top

-
-By @emph{configures}, I mean that links, Makefile, .gdbinit, and
-config.status are built. Configuration is always done from the source
-directory.
-
-@table @code
-
-@item ./configure @var{name}
-configures this directory, perhaps recursively, for a single host+target
-pair where the host and target are both @var{name}. If a previous

-
-@item ./configure @var{hostname} --target=@var{targetname}

-
-The configure scripts essentially do three things, create subdirectories
-if appropriate, build a @file{Makefile}, and create links to files, all
-based on and tailored to, a specific host+target pair. The scripts also
-create a @file{.gdbinit} if appropriate but this is not tailored.
-
-The Makefile is created by prepending some variable definitions to a
-Makefile template called @file{Makefile.in} and then inserting host and
-target specific Makefile fragments. The variables are set based on the
-chosen host+target pair and build style, that is, if you use
-@code{--srcdir} or not. The host and target specific Makefile may or may
-not exist.
-
-@itemize @bullet
-
-@item
-Makefiles can be edited directly, but those changes will eventually be
-lost. Changes intended to be permanent for a specific host should be
-made to the host specific Makefile fragment. This should be in
-@file{./config/mh-@var{host}} if it exists. Changes intended to be
-permanent for a specific target should be made to the target specific
-Makefile fragment. This should be in @file{./config/mt-@var{target}} if
-it exists. Changes intended to be permanent for the directory should be
-made in @file{Makefile.in}. To propogate changes to any of these,
-either use @code{make Makefile} or @code{./config.status} or

-
-.SH OPTIONS
-.I configure
-accepts the following options:
-
-.TP
-.I \--target=TARGET

-.I TARGET
-machine. If no target is specified explicitly, the target is assumed
-to be the same as the host.
-
-.TP
-.I \--srcdir=DIR
-tells configure to find the source in
-.I DIR.
-Object code is always built in the current directory,
-.I `.'.
-
-.TP
-.I \--rm
-asks configure to remove a configuration rather than create one.
-
-.TP
-.I \--site=SITE
-asks configure to use any site-specific Makefile fragments for
-.I SITE
-when building Makefiles.
-
-.TP
-.I \--prefix=DIR
-sets the location in which to install files to
-.I DIR.
-The default is "/usr/local".
-
-.TP
-.I \--exec_prefix=DIR
-sets the root directory for host-dependent files to
-.I DIR.
-The default location is the value of
-.I prefix.
-
-.TP
-.I \--program_prefix=DIR
-configures the source to install programs which have the same names as
-common Unix programs, such as "make", in
-.I DIR.
-Also applies to programs which might be used for cross-compilation.
-
-.TP
-.I \--tmpdir=DIR
-sets the directory in which configure creates temporary files to
-.I DIR.
-
-.TP
-.I \--with-PACKAGE[=YES/NO]
-sets a flag for the build to recognize that

-is nonexistent, the default is
-.I YES.
-.I \--disable-FEATURE
-is equivalent to
-.IR --enable-FEATURE=no .
-
-.TP
-.I \--norecursion
-asks that only the current directory be configured. Normally
-.I configure
-recurs on subdirectories.
-
-.TP
-.I \-nfp

-When @code{configure} runs, it does the following things:
-
-@table @emph
-@item @bullet{} creates build directories
-@vindex srcdir
-@cindex @code{srcdir}
-@cindex Build directories
-When you run @code{configure} with the @samp{--srcdir} option, it uses the
-current directory as the @dfn{build directory}, creating under it a directory
-tree that parallels the directory structure of the source directory. If you
-don't specify a @samp{srcdir}, @code{configure} first assumes that the source
-code you wish to configure is in your current directory; if it finds no
-@file{configure.in} input file there, it searches in the directory
-@code{configure} itself lies in. (For details, see @ref{Build directories, ,
-Build directories}.)
-
-@item @bullet{} generates @file{Makefile}
-@cindex @code{Makefile} generation
-A @file{Makefile} template from the source directory, usually called
-@file{Makefile.in}, is copied to an output file in the build directory which is
-most often named @file{Makefile}. @code{configure} places definitions for a
-number of standard @file{Makefile} macros at the beginning of the output file.
-If @w{@samp{--prefix=@var{dir}}} or @w{@samp{--exec_prefix=@var{dir}}} are
-specified on the @code{configure} command line, corresponding @file{Makefile}
-variables are set accordingly. If host, target, or site-specific
-@file{Makefile} fragments exist, these are inserted into the output file. (For
-details, see @ref{Makefile generation, , @code{Makefile} generation}.)
-

-@chapter Invoking @code{configure}
-@cindex Invoking @code{configure}
-@cindex Usage
-
-Cygnus @code{configure} is a shell script which resides in a source tree. The
-usual way to invoke @code{configure} is from the shell, as follows:
-
-@cindex Example session
-@example
-eg$ ./configure @var{hosttype}
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-This prepares the source in the current directory (@file{.}) to be
-compiled for a @var{hosttype} environment. It assumes that you wish to
-build programs and files in the default @dfn{build directory} (also the
-current directory, @file{.}). If you do not specify a value for
-@var{hosttype}, Cygnus @code{configure} will attempt to discover this
-information by itself (@pxref{config.guess, , Determining system
-information}). For information on @var{hosttype} environments,
-@xref{Host, , Host}.
-
-All @sc{gnu} software is packaged with one or more @code{configure} script(s)
-(@pxref{Configuration, , How Configuration Should Work, standards, GNU Coding
-Standards}). By using @code{configure} you prepare the source for your
-specific environment by selecting and using @file{Makefile} fragments and
-fragments of shell scripts, which are prepared in advance and stored with the
-source.
-
-@code{configure}'s command-line options also allow you to specify other aspects
-of the source configuration:
-
-@smallexample

-
-Cygnus @code{configure} is a shell script that sets up an environment in
-which your programs will compile correctly for your machine and
-operating system, and will install in proper places. @code{configure}
-accomplishes this task by doing the following:
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item
-it generates a @file{Makefile} from a custom template called
-@file{Makefile.in} in each relevant source directory;
-
-@item
-it customizes the build process to your specifications; you set certain
-variables for @code{configure}, either on the command line or in the
-file @file{configure.in}, which subsequently sets variables in each
-generated @file{Makefile} to be used by @code{make} when actually
-building the software;
-
-@item
-it creates @dfn{build directories}, places for your code to be compiled
-in before being installed;
-
-@item
-it generates a @file{.gdbinit} in the build directory, if needed, to
-communicate to @code{gdb} where to find the program's source code;
-
-@item
-it generates a shell script called @file{config.status}
-which is used most often by the @file{Makefile} to reconfigure itself;
-
-@item
-it recurses in subdirectories, setting up entire trees so that they build
-correctly; if @code{configure} finds another @code{configure} script
-further down in a given source tree, it knows to use this script and not
-recur.
-@end itemize
-
-For the sake of safety (i.e., in order to prevent broken installations), the
-@sc{gnu} coding standards call for software to be @dfn{configured} in such a
-way that an end user trying to build a given package will be able to do so by
-affecting a finite number of variables. All @sc{gnu} software comes with an
-executable @code{configure} shell script which sets up an environment within a
-build directory which will correctly compile your new package for your host
-(or, alternatively, whatever host you specify to @code{configure}).

-@cindex Variables
-
-There are several variables in the build process which you can control through
-build programs such as @code{make}. These include machine definitions, local
-conventions, installation locations, locations for temporary files, etc. This
-data is accessible through certain variables which are configurable in the
-build process; we refer to them as @dfn{build variables}.
-
-For lists of build variables which you can affect by using @code{configure},
-see @ref{configure variables, , Variables available to @code{configure.in}},
-and @ref{Install details, , Full descriptions of all installation directories}.
-
-Generally, build variables, which are used by the @file{Makefile} to
-determine various aspects of the build and installation processes, are
-changeable with command-line options to @code{configure}. In most large
-suites of programs, like the Cygnus Support Developer's Kit, the
-individual programs reside in several subdirectories of a single source
-code ``tree''. All of these subdirectories need to be configured with
-information relative to the @dfn{build directory}, which is not known
-until @code{configure} is run. Unless specified otherwise,
-@code{configure} recursively configures every subdirectory in the source
-tree.
-
-Build variables are passed from @code{configure} directly into the
-@file{Makefile}, and use the same names (except that dashes are
-transformed into underbars; for example, when you specify the option
-@samp{--exec-prefix} on the command line, the @file{Makefile} variable
-@samp{exec_prefix} is set). In other words, if you specify
-
-@cindex Example session
-@example
-eg$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/gnu/local @dots{} @var{hosttype}
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-on the command line, @code{configure} sets an variable called @samp{prefix} to
-@samp{/usr/gnu/local}, and passes this into the @file{Makefile} in the same
-manner. After this command, each @file{Makefile} generated by @code{configure}
-will contain a line that reads:
-
-@example
-prefix = /usr/gnu/local
-@end example
-
-For a list of the @file{Makefile} variables @code{configure} can change, and

-By default, @code{configure} builds a @file{Makefile} and symbolic links in the
-same directory as the source files. This default works for many cases, but it
-has limitations. For instance, using this approach, you can only build object
-code for one host at a time.
-
-We refer to each directory where @code{configure} builds a @file{Makefile} as
-a @dfn{build directory}.
-
-The build directory for any given build is always the directory from which you
-call @code{configure}, or @file{.} relative to your prompt. The default
-@dfn{source directory}, the place @code{configure} looks to find source code,
-is also @file{.}. For instance, if we have a directory @file{/gnu-stuff/src/}
-that is the top branch of a tree of @sc{gnu} source code we wish to configure,
-then the program we will use to configure this code is
-@file{/gnu-stuff/src/configure}, as follows. (Assume for the sake of argument
-that our machine is a sun4.)

-
-We just configured the code in @file{/gnu-stuff/src} to run on a Sun
-SPARCstation using SunOS 4.x by creating a @file{Makefile} in
-@file{/gnu-stuff/src}. By default, we also specified that when this code is
-built, the object code should reside in the same directory,
-@file{/gnu-stuff/src}.
-
-However, if we wanted to build this code for more than one host, we would be in
-trouble, because the new configuration would write over the old one, destroying
-it in the process. What we can do is to make a new @dfn{build directory} and
-configure from there. Running @code{configure} from the new directory will
-place a correct @file{Makefile} and a @file{config.status} in this new file.
-That is all @code{configure} does; we must run @code{make} to generate any
-object code.
-
-The new @file{Makefile} in @file{/gnu-stuff/sun4-obj}, created from the
-template file @file{/gnu-stuff/src/Makefile.in}, contains all the information

-@subsection Determining system information
-@cindex @code{config.guess}
-
-The shell script @code{config.guess} is called when you do not specify a
-@var{hosttype} on the command line to @code{configure}. @code{config.guess}
-acquires available system information from your local machine through the shell
-command @code{uname}. It compares this information to a database and attempts
-to determine a usable three-part system identifier (known as a @dfn{triple}) to
-use as your @var{hosttype}. @xref{What configure really does, , What
-@code{configure} really does}, to see how this information is used.
-
-@emph{Note:} If you do not specify a @var{hosttype} on the command line,

-@file{Makefile} for the current directory to rebuild itself, if necessary. It
-is usually run from within the @file{Makefile}. @xref{Makefile extensions, ,

-A @file{configure.in} file for Cygnus @code{configure} consists of a
-@dfn{per-invocation} section, followed by a @dfn{per-host} section, followed by
-a @dfn{per-target} section, optionally followed by a @dfn{post-target} section.
-Each section is a shell script fragment, which is executed by the
-@code{configure} shell script at an appropriate time. Values are passed among
-@code{configure} and the shell fragments through a set of shell variables.
-When each section is being interpreted by the shell, the shell's current
-directory is the build directory, and any files created by the section (or
-referred to by the section) will be relative to the build directory. To
-reference files in other places (such as the source directory), prepend a shell
-variable such as @samp{$(srcdir)/} to the desired file name.

-@node configure variables
-@subsection Variables available to @code{configure.in}
-@cindex @file{configure.in} interface
-@cindex configure variables
-
-The following variables pass information between the standard parts of
-@code{configure} and the shell-script fragments in @file{configure.in}:
-
-@table @code
-@item srctrigger
-@cindex @code{srctrigger}
-@vindex srctrigger
-Contains the name of a source file that is expected to live in the source
-directory. You must usually set this in the @dfn{per-invocation} section of
-@file{configure.in}. @code{configure} tests to see that this file exists. If
-the file does not exist, @code{configure} prints an error message. This is
-used as a sanity check that @file{configure.in} matches the source directory.
-
-@item srcname
-@cindex @code{srcname}
-@vindex srcname
-Contains the name of the source collection contained in the source directory.
-You must usually set this in the @dfn{per-invocation} section of
-@file{configure.in}. If the file named in @samp{srctrigger} does not exist,
-@code{configure} uses the value of @samp{srcname} when it prints the error
-message.
-
-@item configdirs
-@cindex @code{configdirs}
-@vindex configdirs
-Contains the names of any subdirectories in which @code{configure} should
-recurse. You must usually set this in the @dfn{per-invocation} section of
-@file{configure.in}.
-If @file{Makefile.in} contains a line starting with @samp{SUBDIRS =},
-then it will be replaced with an assignment to @samp{SUBDIRS} using
-the value of @samp{configdirs} (if @samp{subdirs} is empty). This can
-be used to determine which directories to configure and build depending
-on the host and target configurations.
-@c Most other matching makefile/config vars use the same name. Why not
-@c this? (FIXME).
-@c Can we get rid of SUBDIRS-substitution? It doesn't work well with subdirs.
-Use @samp{configdirs} (instead of the @samp{subdirs} variable
-described below) if you want to be able to partition the
-subdirectories, or use independent @file{Makefile} fragments.
-Each subdirectory can be independent, and independently reconfigured.
-
-@item subdirs
-@cindex @code{subdirs}
-@vindex subdirs
-Contains the names of any subdirectories where @code{configure} should create a
-@file{Makefile} (in addition to the current directory), @emph{without}
-recursively running @code{configure}. Use @samp{subdirs} (instead of the
-@samp{configdirs} variable described above) if you want to configure all of the
-directories as a unit. Since there is a single invocation of @code{configure}
-that configures many directories, all the directories can use the same
-@file{Makefile} fragments, and the same @code{configure.in}.
-
-@item host
-@cindex @code{host}
-@cindex Canonical ``triple''
-@vindex host
-Contains the full configuration name for the host (generated by the script
-@file{config.sub} from the name that you entered). This is a three-part
-name (commonly referred to as a @dfn{triple}) of the form
-@var{cpu}-@var{vendor}-@var{os}.
-
-There are separate variables @samp{host_cpu}, @samp{host_vendor}, and
-@samp{host_os} that you can use to test each of the three parts; this variable
-is useful, however, for error messages, and for testing combinations of the
-three components.
-
-@item host_cpu
-@vindex host_cpu
-Contains the first element of the canonical triple representing the host
-as returned by @file{config.sub}. This is occasionally used to
-distinguish between minor variations of a particular vendor's operating
-system and sometimes to determine variations in binary format between
-the host and the target.
-
-@item host_vendor
-@vindex host_vendor
-Contains the second element of the canonical triple representing the host as
-returned by @file{config.sub}. This is usually used to distinguish among the
-numerous variations of @emph{common} operating systems.
-@c "@emph{common} OS" doesn't convey much to me. Is this meant to cover
-@c cases like Unix, widespread but with many variations?
-
-@item host_os
-@vindex host_os
-Contains the the third element of the canonical triple representing the
-host as returned by @file{config.sub}.
-
-@item target
-@cindex @code{target}
-@cindex Canonical ``triple''
-@vindex target
-Contains the full configuration name (generated by the script @file{config.sub}
-from the name that you entered) for the target. Like the host, this is a
-three-part name of the form @var{cpu}-@var{vendor}-@var{os}.
-
-There are separate variables @samp{target_cpu}, @samp{target_vendor}, and
-@samp{target_os} that you can use to test each of the three parts; this
-variable is useful, however, for error messages, and for testing combinations
-of the three components.
-
-@item target_cpu
-@vindex target_cpu
-Contains the first element of the canonical triple representing the target as
-returned by @file{config.sub}. This variable is used heavily by programs which
-are involved in building other programs, like the compiler, assembler, linker,
-etc. Most programs will not need the @samp{target} variables at all, but this
-one could conceivably be used to build a program, for instance, that operated
-on binary data files whose byte order or alignment differ from the system where
-the program is running.
-
-@item target_vendor
-@vindex target_vendor
-Contains the second element of the canonical triple representing the target as
-returned by @file{config.sub}. This is usually used to distinguish among the
-numerous variations of @emph{common} operating systems or object file
-formats. It is sometimes used to switch between different flavors of user
-interfaces.
-@c above query re "@emph{common} OS" applies here too
-
-@item target_os
-@vindex target_os
-Contains the the third element of the canonical triple representing the
-target as returned by @file{config.sub}. This variable is used by
-development tools to distinguish between subtle variations in object
-file formats that some vendors use across operating system releases. It
-might also be use to decide which libraries to build or what user
-interface the tool should provide.
-
-@item floating_point
-@cindex @code{floating_point}
-@cindex @code{nfp} option
-@vindex floating_point
-Set to @samp{no} if you invoked @code{configure} with the @samp{--nfp}
-command-line option, otherwise it is empty. This is a request to target
-machines with @dfn{no floating point} unit, even if the targets ordinarily have
-floating point units available.
-
-@item gas
-@cindex @code{with-gnu-as} option
-@vindex gas
-Set to @samp{true} if you invoked @code{configure} with the
-@w{@samp{--with-gnu-as}} command line option, otherwise it is empty. This is a
-request to assume that the specified @var{hosttype} machine has @sc{gnu} @code{as}
-available even if it ordinarily does not.
-
-@item srcdir
-@cindex @code{srcdir}
-@vindex srcdir
-Set to the name of the directory containing the source for this program.
-This will be different from @file{.} if you have specified the
-@samp{--srcdir=@var{dir}} option. @samp{srcdir} can indicate either an
-absolute path or a path relative to the build directory.
-
-@item package_makefile_frag
-@vindex package_makefile_frag
-If set in @file{configure.in}, this variable should be the name a file relative
-to @samp{srcdir} to be included in the resulting @file{Makefile}. If the named
-file does not exist, @code{configure} will print a warning message. This
-variable is not set by @code{configure}.
-
-@item host_makefile_frag
-@vindex host_makefile_frag
-If set in @file{configure.in}, this variable should be the name a file relative
-to @samp{srcdir} to be included in the resulting @file{Makefile}. If the named
-file does not exist, @code{configure} will print a warning message. This
-variable is not set by @code{configure}.
-
-@item target_makefile_frag
-@vindex target_makefile_frag
-If set in @file{configure.in}, this variable should be the name of a file,
-relative to @samp{srcdir}, to be included in the resulting @file{Makefile}. If
-the named file does not exist, @code{configure} will print a warning message.
-This variable is not set by @code{configure}.
-
-@item site_makefile_frag
-@vindex site_makefile_frag
-Set to a file name representing to the default @file{Makefile} fragment for
-this host. It may be set in @file{configure.in} to override this default.
-Normally @samp{site_makefile_frag} is empty, but will have a value if you
-specify @samp{--site=@var{site}} on the command line.
-@ignore -- this doesn't fit
-It is probably not a good idea to override this variable from
-@file{configure.in}, since that may defeat the @code{configure} user's
-intentions.
-@end ignore
-
-@item Makefile
-@vindex Makefile
-Set to the name of the generated @file{Makefile}. Normally this value is
-precisely @file{Makefile}, but some programs may want something else.
-
-@item removing
-@cindex @code{rm} option
-@vindex removing
-Normally empty but will be set to some non-null value if you specified
-@samp{--rm} on the command line. That is, if @samp{removing} is not empty,
-then @code{configure} is @emph{removing} a configuration rather than creating
-one.
-
-@item files
-@cindex Symbolic links
-@vindex files
-If this variable is not empty following the @dfn{per-target} section,
-then each word in its value will be the target of a symbolic link named
-in the corresponding word from the @samp{links} variable.
-
-@item links
-@cindex Symbolic links
-@vindex links
-If the @samp{files} variable is not empty following the @dfn{per-target}
-section, then @code{configure} creates symbolic links with the first word of
-@samp{links} pointing to the first word of @samp{files}, the second word of
-@samp{links} pointing to the second word of @samp{files}, and so on.

-@end example
-
-The @samp{# per-host:} and @samp{# per-target:} lines divide the file into the
-three required sections. The @samp{srctrigger} line names a file.
-@code{configure} checks to see that this file exists in the source directory
-before configuring. If the @samp{srctrigger} file does not exist,
-@code{configure} uses the value of @samp{srcname} to print an error message

-
-This section usually contains a big @code{case} statement using the variable
-@samp{host} to determine appropriate values for @samp{host_makefile_frag} and

-
-This section usually contains a big @code{case} statement using the variable

-
-Using the default configuration, @samp{make install} creates a single tree of

-@cindex Changing the install directory
-@cindex @code{prefix} option
-@vindex prefix
-
-In the default configuration, all files are installed in subdirectories
-of @file{/usr/local}. The location is determined by the value of
-the @code{configure} variable @samp{prefix}; in turn, this determines the
-value of the @file{Makefile} variable of the same name (@samp{prefix}).
-
-You can also set the value of the @file{Makefile} variable @samp{prefix}
-explicitly each time you invoke @code{make} if you are so inclined. However,
-because many programs have this location compiled in, you must specify the
-@samp{prefix} value consistently on each invocation of @code{make}, or you will
-end up with a broken installation.
-
-To make this easier, the value of the @code{configure} variable
-@samp{prefix} can be set on the command line to @code{configure}
-using the option @samp{--prefix=}.

-@cindex Installing host-independent files
-@cindex The @code{exec_prefix} directory
-@vindex exec_prefix
-
-By default, host dependent files are installed in subdirectories of
-@file{$(exec_prefix)}. The location is determined by the value of the
-@code{configure} variable @samp{exec_prefix}, which determines the value of the
-@file{Makefile} variable @samp{exec_prefix}. This makes it easier to install
-for a single host, and simplifies changing the default location for the install
-tree. The default doesn't allow for multiple hosts to effectively share
-host independent files, however.
-
-To configure so that multiple hosts can share common files, use something like:
-
-@cindex Example session
-@smallexample
-configure @var{host1} -prefix=/usr/gnu -exec_prefix=/usr/gnu/H-host1
-make all info install install-info clean
-
-configure @var{host2} -prefix=/usr/gnu -exec_prefix=/usr/gnu/H-host2
-make all info install install-info
-@end smallexample
-
-The first line configures the source for @var{host1} to place host-specific
-programs in subdirectories of @file{/usr/gnu/H-@var{host1}}.
-
-The second line builds and installs all programs for @var{host1},
-including both host-independent and host-specific files, as well as removing
-the host-specific object files from of the build directory.
-
-The third line reconfigures the source for @var{host2} to place host
-specific programs in subdirectories of @file{/usr/gnu/H-@var{host2}}.
-
-The fourth line builds and installs all programs for @var{host2}. Host
-specific files are installed in new directories, but the host
-independent files are installed @emph{on top of} the host
-independent files installed for @var{host1}. This results in a single
-copy of the host independent files, suitable for use by both hosts.

-During any install, a number of standard directories are created. Their names
-are determined by @file{Makefile} variables. Some of the defaults for
-@file{Makefile} variables can be changed at configuration time using command
-line options to @code{configure}. For more information on the standard
-directories or the @file{Makefile} variables, please refer to @ref{Makefiles, ,
-Makefile Conventions, standards, GNU Coding Standards}. See also @ref{Makefile

-
-Note that @code{configure} does not create the directory indicated by the
-variable @samp{srcdir} at any time. @code{$(srcdir)} is not an installation
-directory.
-
-You can override all @file{Makefile} variables on the command line to
-@code{make}. (@xref{Overriding, , Overriding Variables, make, GNU Make}.) If
-you do so, you will need to specify the value precisely the same way for each
-invocation of @code{make}, or you risk ending up with a broken installation.
-This is because many programs have the locations of other programs or files
-compiled into them. If you find yourself overriding any of the variables
-frequently, you should consider site dependent @file{Makefile} fragments. See
-also @ref{Sites, , Adding site info}.
-
-During @samp{make install}, a number of standard directories are created and
-populated. The following @file{Makefile} variables define them. Those whose

-``@code{Makefile} and @code{configure}''.
-
-@table @code
-@item prefix (@code{Makefile} and @code{configure})
-@cindex @code{prefix}
-@vindex prefix
-The root of the installation tree. You can set its @file{Makefile} default
-with the @samp{--prefix=} command line option to @code{configure}
-(@pxref{Invoking configure, , Invoking @code{configure}}). The default value
-for @samp{prefix} is @samp{/usr/local}.
-
-@item bindir
-@cindex @code{bindir}
-@vindex bindir
-A directory for binary programs that users can run. The default value for
-@samp{bindir} depends on @samp{prefix}; @samp{bindir} is normally changed only
-indirectly through @samp{prefix}. The default value for @samp{bindir} is
-@samp{$(prefix)/bin}.
-
-@item exec_prefix (@code{Makefile} and @code{configure})
-@cindex @code{exec_prefix}
-@vindex exec_prefix
-A directory for host dependent files. You can specify the @file{Makefile}

-for @samp{exec_prefix} is @samp{$(prefix)}.
-
-@item libdir
-@cindex @code{libdir}
-@vindex libdir
-A directory for libraries and support programs. The default value for

-@samp{$(prefix)/lib}.
-
-@item mandir
-@cindex @code{mandir}

-
-@item man@var{N}dir
-@cindex @code{man@var{N}dir}
-@vindex man@var{N}dir
-These are eight variables named @samp{man1dir}, @samp{man2dir}, etc. They name

-@samp{man1dir} by default holds the filename @file{$(mandir)/man1}; this
-directory contains @file{emacs.1} (the man page for @sc{gnu} Emacs).
-Similarly, @samp{man5dir} contains the value @file{$(mandir)/man5}, indicating
-the directory which holds @file{rcsfile.5} (the man page describing the

-involved, although it usually is.
-
-For example, if some obscure machine had the @sc{gnu} @code{POSIX} emulation

-
-If you find that a tool does not get configured to your liking, or if
-@code{configure}'s conventions differ from your local conventions, you should
-probably consider @dfn{site-specific @file{Makefile} fragments}. See also
-@ref{Sites, , Adding site info}.
-
-These are probably not the right choice for options that can be set from
-the @code{configure} command line or for differences that are host or
-target dependent.
-
-Cygnus @code{configure} uses three types of @file{Makefile} fragments. In a
-generated @file{Makefile} they appear in the order: @dfn{target fragment},
-@dfn{host fragment}, and @dfn{site fragment}. This allows host fragments to
-override target fragments, and site fragments to override both.
-
-Host-specific @file{Makefile} fragments conventionally reside in the
-@file{./config/} subdirectory with names of the form @file{mh-@var{hosttype}}.
-They are used for hosts that require odd options to the standard compiler and
-for compile time options based on the host configuration.
-
-Target-specific @file{Makefile} fragments conventionally reside in the
-@file{./config/} subdirectory with names of the form @file{mt-@var{target}}.
-They are used for target dependent compile time options.
-
-Site specific @file{Makefile} fragments conventionally reside in the
-@file{./config/} subdirectory with names of the form @file{ms-@var{site}}.
-They are used to override host- and target-independent compile time options.
-Note that you can also override these options on the @code{make} invocation
-line.

-@section Adding @code{configure} to new programs
-@cindex Adding @code{configure} to new programs
-
-If you are writing a new program, you probably shouldn't worry about porting or
-configuration issues until it is running reasonably on some host. Then refer
-back to this section.
-
-If your program currently has a @code{configure} script that meets the @sc{gnu}
-standards (@pxref{Configuration, , How Configuration Should Work, standards,
-GNU Coding Standards}, please do not add Cygnus @code{configure}. It should be
-possible to add this program without change to a Cygnus @code{configure} style
-source tree.
-
-@cindex @code{autoconf}
-If the program is not target dependent, please consider using @code{autoconf}
-instead of Cygnus @code{configure}. @code{autoconf} is available from the Free
-Software Foundation; it is a program which generates an executable shell script
-called @file{configure} by automatically finding information on the system to
-be configured on and embedding this information in the shell script.
-@file{configure} scripts generated by @code{autoconf} require no arguments, and
-accept the same options as Cygnus @code{configure}. For detailed instructions
-on using @code{autoconf}, see @ref{Making configure Scripts, , How to organize
-and produce Autoconf scripts, autoconf, Autoconf}.
-
-
-To add Cygnus @code{configure} to an existing program, do the following:
-
-@table @bullet
-@item Make sure the @file{Makefile} conforms to the @sc{gnu} standard
-The coding standard for writing a @sc{gnu} @file{Makefile} is described in
-@ref{Makefiles, , Makefile Conventions, standards, GNU Coding Standards}. For
-technical information on writing a @file{Makefile}, see @ref{Makefiles, ,
-Writing Makefiles, make, GNU Make}.
-
-@item Add Cygnus extensions to the @file{Makefile}
-These are described in @ref{Makefile extensions, , Extensions to the @sc{gnu}
-coding standards}.
-
-@item Collect package specific definitions in a single file
-Many packages are best configured using a common @file{Makefile} fragment which
-is included by all of the makefiles in the different directories of the
-package. In order to accomplish this, set the variable
-@samp{package_makefile_fragment} to the name of the file. It will be inserted
-into the final @file{Makefile} before the target-specific fragment.
-
-@item Move host support from @file{Makefile} to fragments
-This usually involves finding sections of the @file{Makefile} that say things
-like ``uncomment these lines for host @var{hosttype}'' and moving them to a new
-file called @file{./config/mh-@var{hosttype}}. For more information, see @ref{Hosts
-and targets, , Adding hosts and targets}.
-
-@item Choose defaults
-If the program has compile-time options that determine the way the program
-should behave, choose reasonable defaults and make these @file{Makefile}
-variables. Be sure the variables are assigned their default values before the
-@samp{####} line so that site-specific @file{Makefile} fragments can override
-them (@pxref{Makefile extensions, , Extensions to the @sc{gnu} coding
-standards}).
-
-@item Locate configuration files
-If there is configuration information in header files or source files, separate
-it in such a way that the files have generic names. Then move the specific
-instances of those files into the @file{./config/} subdirectory.
-
-@item Separate host and target information
-Some programs already have this information separated. If yours does not, you
-will need to separate these two kinds of configuration information. @dfn{Host
-specific} information is the information needed to compile the program.
-@dfn{Target specific} information is information on the format of data files
-that the program will read or write. This information should live in separate
-files in the @file{./config/} subdirectory with names that reflect the
-configuration for which they are intended.
-
-At this point you might skip this step and simply move on. If you do, you
-should end up with a program that can be configured only to build @dfn{native}
-tools, that is, tools for which the host system is also the target system.
-Later, you could attempt to build a cross tool and separate out the
-target-specific information by figuring out what went wrong. This is often
-simpler than combing through all of the source code.
-
-@item Write @code{configure.in}
-Usually this involves writing shell script fragments to map from canonical
-configuration names into the names of the configuration files. These files
-will then be linked at configure time from the specific instances of those
-files in @file{./config} to files in the build directory with more generic
-names. (See also @ref{Build directories, , Build directories}.) The format of
-@file{configure.in} is described in @ref{configure.in, , The
-@code{configure.in} input file}.
-
-@item Rename @file{Makefile} to @file{Makefile.in}
-@end table

-At this point you should have a program that can be configured using
-Cygnus @code{configure}.

-do the following.
-
-@itemize @bullet
-
-@item
-Make sure the new configuration name is represented in @file{config.sub}. If
-not, add it. For more details, see the comments in the shell script
-@file{config.sub}.
-

-in the mapping from host configuration names to configuration files. If not,
-add it. Also see @ref{configure.in, , The @code{configure.in} input file}.
-
-@item
-If you are adding a target configuration, look in @file{configure.in}, in the
-@dfn{per-target} section. Make sure that your configuration name is
-represented in the mapping from target configuration names to configuration
-files. If not, add it. Also see @ref{configure.in, , The @code{configure.in}

-
-@item
-Look in @file{configure.in} for the variables @samp{files}, @samp{links},
-@samp{host_makefile_frag}, and @samp{target_makefile_frag}. The values
-assigned to these variables are the names of the configuration files, (relative
-to @samp{srcdir}) that the program uses. Make sure that copies of the files
-exist for your host. If not, create them. See also @ref{configure variables,
-, Variables available to @code{configure.in}}.

-Variables for Installation Directories
---------------------------------------
-
- Installation directories should always be named by variables, so it
-is easy to install in a nonstandard place. The standard names for these
-variables are described below. They are based on a standard filesystem
-layout; variants of it are used in SVR4, 4.4BSD, Linux, Ultrix v4, and
-other modern operating systems.
-
- These two variables set the root for the installation. All the other
-installation directories should be subdirectories of one of these two,
-and nothing should be directly installed into these two directories.
-
-`prefix'
- A prefix used in constructing the default values of the variables
- listed below. The default value of `prefix' should be
- `/usr/local'. When building the complete GNU system, the prefix
- will be empty and `/usr' will be a symbolic link to `/'. (If you
- are using Autoconf, write it as `@prefix@'.)
-
-`exec_prefix'
- A prefix used in constructing the default values of some of the
- variables listed below. The default value of `exec_prefix' should
- be `$(prefix)'. (If you are using Autoconf, write it as
- `@exec_prefix@'.)
-
- Generally, `$(exec_prefix)' is used for directories that contain
- machine-specific files (such as executables and subroutine
- libraries), while `$(prefix)' is used directly for other
- directories.
-
- Executable programs are installed in one of the following
-directories.
-
-`bindir'
- The directory for installing executable programs that users can
- run. This should normally be `/usr/local/bin', but write it as
- `$(exec_prefix)/bin'. (If you are using Autoconf, write it as
- `@bindir@'.)
-
-`sbindir'
- The directory for installing executable programs that can be run
- from the shell, but are only generally useful to system
- administrators. This should normally be `/usr/local/sbin', but
- write it as `$(exec_prefix)/sbin'. (If you are using Autoconf,
- write it as `@sbindir@'.)
-
-`libexecdir'
- The directory for installing executable programs to be run by other
- programs rather than by users. This directory should normally be
- `/usr/local/libexec', but write it as `$(exec_prefix)/libexec'.
- (If you are using Autoconf, write it as `@libexecdir@'.)
-
- Data files used by the program during its execution are divided into
-categories in two ways.
-
- * Some files are normally modified by programs; others are never
- normally modified (though users may edit some of these).
-
- * Some files are architecture-independent and can be shared by all
- machines at a site; some are architecture-dependent and can be
- shared only by machines of the same kind and operating system;
- others may never be shared between two machines.
-
- This makes for six different possibilities. However, we want to
-discourage the use of architecture-dependent files, aside from object
-files and libraries. It is much cleaner to make other data files
-architecture-independent, and it is generally not hard.
-
- Therefore, here are the variables Makefiles should use to specify
-directories:
-
-`datadir'
- The directory for installing read-only architecture independent
- data files. This should normally be `/usr/local/share', but write
- it as `$(prefix)/share'. (If you are using Autoconf, write it as
- `@datadir@'.) As a special exception, see `$(infodir)' and
- `$(includedir)' below.
-
-`sysconfdir'
- The directory for installing read-only data files that pertain to a
- single machine-that is to say, files for configuring a host.
- Mailer and network configuration files, `/etc/passwd', and so
- forth belong here. All the files in this directory should be
- ordinary ASCII text files. This directory should normally be
- `/usr/local/etc', but write it as `$(prefix)/etc'. (If you are
- using Autoconf, write it as `@sysconfdir@'.)
-
- Do not install executables in this directory (they probably belong
- in `$(libexecdir)' or `$(sbindir)'). Also do not install files
- that are modified in the normal course of their use (programs
- whose purpose is to change the configuration of the system
- excluded). Those probably belong in `$(localstatedir)'.
-
-`sharedstatedir'
- The directory for installing architecture-independent data files
- which the programs modify while they run. This should normally be
- `/usr/local/com', but write it as `$(prefix)/com'. (If you are
- using Autoconf, write it as `@sharedstatedir@'.)
-
-`localstatedir'
- The directory for installing data files which the programs modify
- while they run, and that pertain to one specific machine. Users
- should never need to modify files in this directory to configure
- the package's operation; put such configuration information in
- separate files that go in `$(datadir)' or `$(sysconfdir)'.
- `$(localstatedir)' should normally be `/usr/local/var', but write
- it as `$(prefix)/var'. (If you are using Autoconf, write it as
- `@localstatedir@'.)
-
-`libdir'
- The directory for object files and libraries of object code. Do
- not install executables here, they probably ought to go in
- `$(libexecdir)' instead. The value of `libdir' should normally be
- `/usr/local/lib', but write it as `$(exec_prefix)/lib'. (If you
- are using Autoconf, write it as `@libdir@'.)
-
-`infodir'
- The directory for installing the Info files for this package. By
- default, it should be `/usr/local/info', but it should be written
- as `$(prefix)/info'. (If you are using Autoconf, write it as
- `@infodir@'.)
-
-`lispdir'
- The directory for installing any Emacs Lisp files in this package.
- By default, it should be `/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp', but
- it should be written as `$(prefix)/share/emacs/site-lisp'.
-
- If you are using Autoconf, write the default as `@lispdir@'. In
- order to make `@lispdir@' work, you need the following lines in
- your `configure.in' file:
-
- lispdir='${datadir}/emacs/site-lisp'
- AC_SUBST(lispdir)
-
-`includedir'
- The directory for installing header files to be included by user
- programs with the C `#include' preprocessor directive. This
- should normally be `/usr/local/include', but write it as
- `$(prefix)/include'. (If you are using Autoconf, write it as
- `@includedir@'.)
-
- Most compilers other than GCC do not look for header files in
- `/usr/local/include'. So installing the header files this way is
- only useful with GCC. Sometimes this is not a problem because some
- libraries are only really intended to work with GCC. But some
- libraries are intended to work with other compilers. They should
- install their header files in two places, one specified by
- `includedir' and one specified by `oldincludedir'.
-
-`oldincludedir'
- The directory for installing `#include' header files for use with
- compilers other than GCC. This should normally be `/usr/include'.
- (If you are using Autoconf, you can write it as `@oldincludedir@'.)
-
- The Makefile commands should check whether the value of
- `oldincludedir' is empty. If it is, they should not try to use
- it; they should cancel the second installation of the header files.
-
- A package should not replace an existing header in this directory
- unless the header came from the same package. Thus, if your Foo
- package provides a header file `foo.h', then it should install the
- header file in the `oldincludedir' directory if either (1) there
- is no `foo.h' there or (2) the `foo.h' that exists came from the
- Foo package.
-
- To tell whether `foo.h' came from the Foo package, put a magic
- string in the file--part of a comment--and `grep' for that string.
-
- Unix-style man pages are installed in one of the following:
-
-`mandir'
- The top-level directory for installing the man pages (if any) for
- this package. It will normally be `/usr/local/man', but you should
- write it as `$(prefix)/man'. (If you are using Autoconf, write it
- as `@mandir@'.)
-
-`man1dir'
- The directory for installing section 1 man pages. Write it as
- `$(mandir)/man1'.
-
-`man2dir'
- The directory for installing section 2 man pages. Write it as
- `$(mandir)/man2'
-
-`...'
- *Don't make the primary documentation for any GNU software be a
- man page. Write a manual in Texinfo instead. Man pages are just
- for the sake of people running GNU software on Unix, which is a
- secondary application only.*
-
-`manext'
- The file name extension for the installed man page. This should
- contain a period followed by the appropriate digit; it should
- normally be `.1'.
-
-`man1ext'
- The file name extension for installed section 1 man pages.
-
-`man2ext'
- The file name extension for installed section 2 man pages.
-
-`...'
- Use these names instead of `manext' if the package needs to
- install man pages in more than one section of the manual.
-
- And finally, you should set the following variable:
-
-`srcdir'
- The directory for the sources being compiled. The value of this
- variable is normally inserted by the `configure' shell script.
- (If you are using Autconf, use `srcdir = @srcdir@'.)
-
- For example:
-
- # Common prefix for installation directories.
- # NOTE: This directory must exist when you start the install.
- prefix = /usr/local
- exec_prefix = $(prefix)
- # Where to put the executable for the command `gcc'.
- bindir = $(exec_prefix)/bin
- # Where to put the directories used by the compiler.
- libexecdir = $(exec_prefix)/libexec
- # Where to put the Info files.
- infodir = $(prefix)/info
-
- If your program installs a large number of files into one of the
-standard user-specified directories, it might be useful to group them
-into a subdirectory particular to that program. If you do this, you
-should write the `install' rule to create these subdirectories.
-
- Do not expect the user to include the subdirectory name in the value
-of any of the variables listed above. The idea of having a uniform set
-of variable names for installation directories is to enable the user to
-specify the exact same values for several different GNU packages. In
-order for this to be useful, all the packages must be designed so that
-they will work sensibly when the user does so.

-Standard Targets for Users
---------------------------
-
- All GNU programs should have the following targets in their
-Makefiles:
-
-`all'
- Compile the entire program. This should be the default target.
- This target need not rebuild any documentation files; Info files
- should normally be included in the distribution, and DVI files
- should be made only when explicitly asked for.
-
- By default, the Make rules should compile and link with `-g', so
- that executable programs have debugging symbols. Users who don't
- mind being helpless can strip the executables later if they wish.
-
-`install'
- Compile the program and copy the executables, libraries, and so on
- to the file names where they should reside for actual use. If
- there is a simple test to verify that a program is properly
- installed, this target should run that test.
-
- Do not strip executables when installing them. Devil-may-care
- users can use the `install-strip' target to do that.
-
- If possible, write the `install' target rule so that it does not
- modify anything in the directory where the program was built,
- provided `make all' has just been done. This is convenient for
- building the program under one user name and installing it under
- another.
-
- The commands should create all the directories in which files are
- to be installed, if they don't already exist. This includes the
- directories specified as the values of the variables `prefix' and
- `exec_prefix', as well as all subdirectories that are needed. One
- way to do this is by means of an `installdirs' target as described
- below.
-
- Use `-' before any command for installing a man page, so that
- `make' will ignore any errors. This is in case there are systems
- that don't have the Unix man page documentation system installed.
-
- The way to install Info files is to copy them into `$(infodir)'
- with `$(INSTALL_DATA)' (*note Command Variables::.), and then run
- the `install-info' program if it is present. `install-info' is a
- program that edits the Info `dir' file to add or update the menu
- entry for the given Info file; it is part of the Texinfo package.
- Here is a sample rule to install an Info file:
-
- $(infodir)/foo.info: foo.info
- $(POST_INSTALL)
- # There may be a newer info file in . than in srcdir.
- -if test -f foo.info; then d=.; \
- else d=$(srcdir); fi; \
- $(INSTALL_DATA) $$d/foo.info $@; \
- # Run install-info only if it exists.
- # Use `if' instead of just prepending `-' to the
- # line so we notice real errors from install-info.
- # We use `$(SHELL) -c' because some shells do not
- # fail gracefully when there is an unknown command.
- if $(SHELL) -c 'install-info --version' \
- >/dev/null 2>&1; then \
- install-info --dir-file=$(infodir)/dir \
- $(infodir)/foo.info; \
- else true; fi
-
- When writing the `install' target, you must classify all the
- commands into three categories: normal ones, "pre-installation"
- commands and "post-installation" commands. *Note Install Command
- Categories::.
-
-`uninstall'
- Delete all the installed files--the copies that the `install'
- target creates.
-
- This rule should not modify the directories where compilation is
- done, only the directories where files are installed.
-
- The uninstallation commands are divided into three categories,
- just like the installation commands. *Note Install Command
- Categories::.
-
-`install-strip'
- Like `install', but strip the executable files while installing
- them. In many cases, the definition of this target can be very
- simple:
-
- install-strip:
- $(MAKE) INSTALL_PROGRAM='$(INSTALL_PROGRAM) -s' \
- install
-
- Normally we do not recommend stripping an executable unless you
- are sure the program has no bugs. However, it can be reasonable
- to install a stripped executable for actual execution while saving
- the unstripped executable elsewhere in case there is a bug.
-
-`clean'
- Delete all files from the current directory that are normally
- created by building the program. Don't delete the files that
- record the configuration. Also preserve files that could be made
- by building, but normally aren't because the distribution comes
- with them.
-
- Delete `.dvi' files here if they are not part of the distribution.
-
-`distclean'
- Delete all files from the current directory that are created by
- configuring or building the program. If you have unpacked the
- source and built the program without creating any other files,
- `make distclean' should leave only the files that were in the
- distribution.
-
-`mostlyclean'
- Like `clean', but may refrain from deleting a few files that people
- normally don't want to recompile. For example, the `mostlyclean'
- target for GCC does not delete `libgcc.a', because recompiling it
- is rarely necessary and takes a lot of time.
-
-`maintainer-clean'
- Delete almost everything from the current directory that can be
- reconstructed with this Makefile. This typically includes
- everything deleted by `distclean', plus more: C source files
- produced by Bison, tags tables, Info files, and so on.
-
- The reason we say "almost everything" is that running the command
- `make maintainer-clean' should not delete `configure' even if
- `configure' can be remade using a rule in the Makefile. More
- generally, `make maintainer-clean' should not delete anything that
- needs to exist in order to run `configure' and then begin to build
- the program. This is the only exception; `maintainer-clean' should
- delete everything else that can be rebuilt.
-
- The `maintainer-clean' target is intended to be used by a
- maintainer of the package, not by ordinary users. You may need
- special tools to reconstruct some of the files that `make
- maintainer-clean' deletes. Since these files are normally
- included in the distribution, we don't take care to make them easy
- to reconstruct. If you find you need to unpack the full
- distribution again, don't blame us.
-
- To help make users aware of this, the commands for the special
- `maintainer-clean' target should start with these two:
-
- @echo 'This command is intended for maintainers to use; it'
- @echo 'deletes files that may need special tools to rebuild.'
-
-`TAGS'
- Update a tags table for this program.
-
-`info'
- Generate any Info files needed. The best way to write the rules
- is as follows:
-
- info: foo.info
-
- foo.info: foo.texi chap1.texi chap2.texi
- $(MAKEINFO) $(srcdir)/foo.texi
-
- You must define the variable `MAKEINFO' in the Makefile. It should
- run the `makeinfo' program, which is part of the Texinfo
- distribution.
-
- Normally a GNU distribution comes with Info files, and that means
- the Info files are present in the source directory. Therefore,
- the Make rule for an info file should update it in the source
- directory. When users build the package, ordinarily Make will not
- update the Info files because they will already be up to date.
-
-`dvi'
- Generate DVI files for all Texinfo documentation. For example:
-
- dvi: foo.dvi
-
- foo.dvi: foo.texi chap1.texi chap2.texi
- $(TEXI2DVI) $(srcdir)/foo.texi
-
- You must define the variable `TEXI2DVI' in the Makefile. It should
- run the program `texi2dvi', which is part of the Texinfo
- distribution.(1) Alternatively, write just the dependencies, and
- allow GNU `make' to provide the command.
-
-`dist'
- Create a distribution tar file for this program. The tar file
- should be set up so that the file names in the tar file start with
- a subdirectory name which is the name of the package it is a
- distribution for. This name can include the version number.
-
- For example, the distribution tar file of GCC version 1.40 unpacks
- into a subdirectory named `gcc-1.40'.
-
- The easiest way to do this is to create a subdirectory
- appropriately named, use `ln' or `cp' to install the proper files
- in it, and then `tar' that subdirectory.
-
- Compress the tar file file with `gzip'. For example, the actual
- distribution file for GCC version 1.40 is called `gcc-1.40.tar.gz'.
-
- The `dist' target should explicitly depend on all non-source files
- that are in the distribution, to make sure they are up to date in
- the distribution. *Note Making Releases: Releases.
-
-`check'
- Perform self-tests (if any). The user must build the program
- before running the tests, but need not install the program; you
- should write the self-tests so that they work when the program is
- built but not installed.
-
- The following targets are suggested as conventional names, for
-programs in which they are useful.
-
-`installcheck'
- Perform installation tests (if any). The user must build and
- install the program before running the tests. You should not
- assume that `$(bindir)' is in the search path.
-
-`installdirs'
- It's useful to add a target named `installdirs' to create the
- directories where files are installed, and their parent
- directories. There is a script called `mkinstalldirs' which is
- convenient for this; you can find it in the Texinfo package. You
- can use a rule like this:
-
- # Make sure all installation directories (e.g. $(bindir))
- # actually exist by making them if necessary.
- installdirs: mkinstalldirs
- $(srcdir)/mkinstalldirs $(bindir) $(datadir) \
- $(libdir) $(infodir) \
- $(mandir)
-
- This rule should not modify the directories where compilation is
- done. It should do nothing but create installation directories.

-File: standards.info, Node: Install Command Categories, Prev: Standard Targets, Up: Makefile Conventions
-
-Install Command Categories
---------------------------
-
- When writing the `install' target, you must classify all the
-commands into three categories: normal ones, "pre-installation"
-commands and "post-installation" commands.
-
- Normal commands move files into their proper places, and set their
-modes. They may not alter any files except the ones that come entirely
-from the package they belong to.
-
- Pre-installation and post-installation commands may alter other
-files; in particular, they can edit global configuration files or data
-bases.
-
- Pre-installation commands are typically executed before the normal
-commands, and post-installation commands are typically run after the
-normal commands.
-
- The most common use for a post-installation command is to run
-`install-info'. This cannot be done with a normal command, since it
-alters a file (the Info directory) which does not come entirely and
-solely from the package being installed. It is a post-installation
-command because it needs to be done after the normal command which
-installs the package's Info files.
-
- Most programs don't need any pre-installation commands, but we have
-the feature just in case it is needed.
-
- To classify the commands in the `install' rule into these three
-categories, insert "category lines" among them. A category line
-specifies the category for the commands that follow.
-
- A category line consists of a tab and a reference to a special Make
-variable, plus an optional comment at the end. There are three
-variables you can use, one for each category; the variable name
-specifies the category. Category lines are no-ops in ordinary execution
-because these three Make variables are normally undefined (and you
-*should not* define them in the makefile).
-
- Here are the three possible category lines, each with a comment that
-explains what it means:
-
- $(PRE_INSTALL) # Pre-install commands follow.
- $(POST_INSTALL) # Post-install commands follow.
- $(NORMAL_INSTALL) # Normal commands follow.
-
- If you don't use a category line at the beginning of the `install'
-rule, all the commands are classified as normal until the first category
-line. If you don't use any category lines, all the commands are
-classified as normal.
-
- These are the category lines for `uninstall':
-
- $(PRE_UNINSTALL) # Pre-uninstall commands follow.
- $(POST_UNINSTALL) # Post-uninstall commands follow.
- $(NORMAL_UNINSTALL) # Normal commands follow.
-
- Typically, a pre-uninstall command would be used for deleting entries
-from the Info directory.
-
- If the `install' or `uninstall' target has any dependencies which
-act as subroutines of installation, then you should start *each*
-dependency's commands with a category line, and start the main target's
-commands with a category line also. This way, you can ensure that each
-command is placed in the right category regardless of which of the
-dependencies actually run.
-
- Pre-installation and post-installation commands should not run any
-programs except for these:
-
- [ basename bash cat chgrp chmod chown cmp cp dd diff echo
- egrep expand expr false fgrep find getopt grep gunzip gzip
- hostname install install-info kill ldconfig ln ls md5sum
- mkdir mkfifo mknod mv printenv pwd rm rmdir sed sort tee
- test touch true uname xargs yes
-
- The reason for distinguishing the commands in this way is for the
-sake of making binary packages. Typically a binary package contains
-all the executables and other files that need to be installed, and has
-its own method of installing them--so it does not need to run the normal
-installation commands. But installing the binary package does need to
-execute the pre-installation and post-installation commands.
-
- Programs to build binary packages work by extracting the
-pre-installation and post-installation commands. Here is one way of
-extracting the pre-installation commands:
-
- make -n install -o all \
- PRE_INSTALL=pre-install \
- POST_INSTALL=post-install \
- NORMAL_INSTALL=normal-install \
- | gawk -f pre-install.awk
-
-where the file `pre-install.awk' could contain this:
-
- $0 ~ /^\t[ \t]*(normal_install|post_install)[ \t]*$/ {on = 0}
- on {print $0}
- $0 ~ /^\t[ \t]*pre_install[ \t]*$/ {on = 1}
-
- The resulting file of pre-installation commands is executed as a
-shell script as part of installing the binary package.

-Making Releases
-===============
-
- Package the distribution of Foo version 69.96 in a gzipped tar file
-named `foo-69.96.tar.gz'. It should unpack into a subdirectory named
-`foo-69.96'.
-
- Building and installing the program should never modify any of the
-files contained in the distribution. This means that all the files
-that form part of the program in any way must be classified into "source
-files" and "non-source files". Source files are written by humans and
-never changed automatically; non-source files are produced from source
-files by programs under the control of the Makefile.
-
- Naturally, all the source files must be in the distribution. It is
-okay to include non-source files in the distribution, provided they are
-up-to-date and machine-independent, so that building the distribution
-normally will never modify them. We commonly include non-source files
-produced by Bison, `lex', TeX, and `makeinfo'; this helps avoid
-unnecessary dependencies between our distributions, so that users can
-install whichever packages they want to install.
-
- Non-source files that might actually be modified by building and
-installing the program should *never* be included in the distribution.
-So if you do distribute non-source files, always make sure they are up
-to date when you make a new distribution.
-
- Make sure that the directory into which the distribution unpacks (as
-well as any subdirectories) are all world-writable (octal mode 777).
-This is so that old versions of `tar' which preserve the ownership and
-permissions of the files from the tar archive will be able to extract
-all the files even if the user is unprivileged.
-
- Make sure that all the files in the distribution are world-readable.
-
- Make sure that no file name in the distribution is more than 14
-characters long. Likewise, no file created by building the program
-should have a name longer than 14 characters. The reason for this is
-that some systems adhere to a foolish interpretation of the POSIX
-standard, and refuse to open a longer name, rather than truncating as
-they did in the past.
-
- Don't include any symbolic links in the distribution itself. If the
-tar file contains symbolic links, then people cannot even unpack it on
-systems that don't support symbolic links. Also, don't use multiple
-names for one file in different directories, because certain file
-systems cannot handle this and that prevents unpacking the distribution.
-
- Try to make sure that all the file names will be unique on MS-DOS. A
-name on MS-DOS consists of up to 8 characters, optionally followed by a
-period and up to three characters. MS-DOS will truncate extra
-characters both before and after the period. Thus, `foobarhacker.c'
-and `foobarhacker.o' are not ambiguous; they are truncated to
-`foobarha.c' and `foobarha.o', which are distinct.
-
- Include in your distribution a copy of the `texinfo.tex' you used to
-test print any `*.texinfo' or `*.texi' files.
-
- Likewise, if your program uses small GNU software packages like
-regex, getopt, obstack, or termcap, include them in the distribution
-file. Leaving them out would make the distribution file a little
-smaller at the expense of possible inconvenience to a user who doesn't
-know what other files to get.
-
-
