@chapter Building the GNU C/C++ Cross Compiler Toolset
This chapter describes the steps required to acquire the
source code for a GNU cross compiler toolset, apply
any required RTEMS specific patches, compile that
toolset and install it.
@section Create the Archive and Build Directories
Start by making the @code{archive} directory to contain the downloaded
source code and the @code{tools} directory to be used as a build
directory. The command sequence to do this is shown
below:
@example
mkdir archive
mkdir tools
@end example
This will result in an initial directory structure similar to the
one shown in the following figure:
@example
@group
/whatever/prefix/you/choose/
archive/
tools/
@end group
@end example
@c @ifset use-html
@c @html
@c <IMG SRC="sfile12c.jpg" WIDTH=417 HEIGHT=178
@c ALT="Starting Directory Organization">
@c @end html
@c @end ifset
@section Get All the Pieces
This section lists the components of an RTEMS cross development system.
Included are the locations of each component as well as any required RTEMS
specific patches.
@subheading @value{GCC-VERSION}
@example
FTP Site: @value{GCC-FTPSITE}
Directory: @value{GCC-FTPDIR}
File: @value{GCC-TAR}
@ifset use-html
URL: @href{Download @value{GCC-VERSION},,,ftp://@value{GCC-FTPSITE}@value{GCC-HTTPDIR}}
@end ifset
@end example
@subheading @value{BINUTILS-VERSION}
@example
FTP Site: @value{BINUTILS-FTPSITE}
Directory: @value{BINUTILS-FTPDIR}
File: @value{BINUTILS-TAR}
@ifset use-html
URL: @href{Download @value{BINUTILS-VERSION},,,ftp://@value{BINUTILS-FTPSITE}@value{BINUTILS-FTPDIR}/@value{BINUTILS-TAR}}
@end ifset
@end example
@subheading @value{NEWLIB-VERSION}
@example
FTP Site: @value{NEWLIB-FTPSITE}
Directory: @value{NEWLIB-FTPDIR}
File: @value{NEWLIB-TAR}
@ifset use-html
URL: @href{Download @value{NEWLIB-VERSION},,,ftp://@value{NEWLIB-FTPSITE}@value{NEWLIB-FTPDIR}/@value{NEWLIB-TAR}}
@end ifset
@end example
@subheading @value{RTEMS-VERSION}
@example
FTP Site: @value{RTEMS-FTPSITE}
Directory: @value{RTEMS-FTPDIR}
File: @value{RTEMS-TAR}
@ifset use-html
URL: @href{Download RTEMS components,,,ftp://@value{RTEMS-FTPSITE}@value{RTEMS-FTPDIR}}
@end ifset
@end example
@subheading RTEMS Hello World
@example
FTP Site: @value{RTEMS-FTPSITE}
Directory: @value{RTEMS-FTPDIR}
File: hello_world_c.tgz
@ifset use-html
URL: @href{Download RTEMS Hello World,,,ftp://@value{RTEMS-FTPSITE}@value{RTEMS-FTPDIR}/hello_world_c.tgz}
@end ifset
@end example
@subheading RTEMS Specific Tool Patches and Scripts
@example
FTP Site: @value{RTEMS-FTPSITE}
Directory: @value{RTEMS-FTPDIR}/c_tools
File: bit
@ifset BINUTILS-RTEMSPATCH
File: @value{BINUTILS-RTEMSPATCH}
@end ifset
@ifset NEWLIB-RTEMSPATCH
File: @value{NEWLIB-RTEMSPATCH}
@end ifset
@ifset GCC-RTEMSPATCH
File: @value{GCC-RTEMSPATCH}
@end ifset
@ifset use-html
URL: @href{Download RTEMS Patches and Scripts,,,ftp://@value{RTEMS-FTPSITE}@value{RTEMS-FTPDIR}/c_tools}
@end ifset
@end example
@section Unarchiving the Tools
While in the @code{tools} directory, unpack the compressed
tar files using the following command sequence:
@example
cd tools
tar xzf ../archive/@value{GCC-TAR}
tar xzf ../archive/@value{BINUTILS-TAR}
tar xzf ../archive/@value{NEWLIB-TAR}
@end example
After the compressed tar files have been unpacked, the following
directories will have been created under tools.
@itemize @bullet
@item @value{BINUTILS-UNTAR}
@item @value{GCC-UNTAR}
@item @value{NEWLIB-UNTAR}
@end itemize
Copy the @code{bit} script from the @code{archive} directory
to the @code{tools} directory as shown below:
@example
cp ../archive/bit .
@end example
When the @code{bit} script is executed later in this process,
it will automatically create two other subdirectories:
@itemize @bullet
@item src
@item build-$@{CPU@}-tools
@end itemize
@itemize @bullet
@item src
@item build-$@{CPU@}-tools
@end itemize
The tree should look something like the following figure:
@example
@group
/whatever/prefix/you/choose/
bit
archive/
@value{GCC-TAR}
@value{BINUTILS-TAR}
@value{NEWLIB-TAR}
@value{RTEMS-TAR}
@ifset GCC-RTEMSPATCH
@value{GCC-RTEMSPATCH}
@end ifset
@ifset BINUTILS-RTEMSPATCH
@value{BINUTILS-RTEMSPATCH}
@end ifset
@ifset NEWLIB-RTEMSPATCH
@value{NEWLIB-RTEMSPATCH}
@end ifset
hello_world_c.tgz
bit
tools/
@value{BINUTILS-UNTAR}/
@value{GCC-UNTAR}/
@value{NEWLIB-UNTAR}/
@value{RTEMS-UNTAR}/
bit
@end group
@end example

@c Reading the Documentation
@c
@section Reading the Tools Documentation
Each of the tools in the GNU development suite comes with documentation.
It is in the reader's and tool maintainers' interest that one read the
documentation before posting a problem to a mailing list or news group.
@c
@c EGCS patches
@c
@section Apply RTEMS Patch to EGCS
@ifclear GCC-RTEMSPATCH
No RTEMS specific patches are required for @value{GCC-VERSION} to
support @value{RTEMS-VERSION}.
@end ifclear
@ifset GCC-RTEMSPATCH
Apply the patch using the following command sequence:
@example
cd tools/@value{GCC-UNTAR}
zcat ../../archive/@value{GCC-RTEMSPATCH} | patch -p1
@end example
Check to see if any of these patches have been rejected using the following
sequence:
@example
cd tools/@value{GCC-UNTAR}
find . -name "*.rej" -print
@end example
If any files are found with the .rej extension, a patch has been rejected.
This should not happen with a good patch file.
@end ifset
@c
@c BINUTILS patches
@c
@section Apply RTEMS Patch to binutils
@ifclear BINUTILS-RTEMSPATCH
No RTEMS specific patches are required for @value{BINUTILS-VERSION} to
support @value{RTEMS-VERSION}.
@end ifclear
@ifset BINUTILS-RTEMSPATCH
Apply the patch using the following command sequence:
@example
cd tools/@value{BINUTILS-UNTAR}
zcat ../../archive/@value{BINUTILS-RTEMSPATCH} | patch -p1
@end example
Check to see if any of these patches have been rejected using the following
sequence:
@example
cd tools/@value{BINUTILS-UNTAR}
find . -name "*.rej" -print
@end example
If any files are found with the .rej extension, a patch has been rejected.
This should not happen with a good patch file.
@end ifset
@c
@c Newlib patches
@c
@section Apply RTEMS Patch to newlib
@ifclear NEWLIB-RTEMSPATCH
No RTEMS specific patches are required for @value{NEWLIB-VERSION} to
support @value{RTEMS-VERSION}.
@end ifclear
@ifset NEWLIB-RTEMSPATCH
Apply the patch using the following command sequence:
@example
cd tools/@value{NEWLIB-UNTAR}
zcat ../../archive/@value{NEWLIB-RTEMSPATCH} | patch -p1
@end example
Check to see if any of these patches have been rejected using the following
sequence:
@example
cd tools/@value{NEWLIB-UNTAR}
find . -name "*.rej" -print
@end example
If any files are found with the .rej extension, a patch has been rejected.
This should not happen with a good patch file.

@c Modify the bit script
@c
@section Modify the bit Script
Copy the @code{bit} script from @code{archive} to the tools directory.
Edit the @code{bit} file to alter the following environmental variables:
@itemize @bullet
@item INSTALL_POINT
@item BINUTILS
@item NEWLIB
@item GCC
@item BUILD_DOCS
@item BUILD_OTHER_LANGUAGES
@end itemize
These variables are located in the script section that resembles the
extract below:
@example
# USERCHANGE -- localize these.
#
# INSTALL_POINT: Directory tools are installed into.
# Recommended installation point for various OS's:
# Linux: /usr/local/rtems
# Solaris: /opt/gnu/rtems
# BINUTILS: Binutils source directory
# NEWLIB: Newlib source directory
# GCC: Newlib source directory
# BUILD_DOCS: Set to "yes" if you want to install documentation.
# BUILD_OTHER_LANGUAGES:
# Set to "yes" if you want to build Fortran and Objective-C
#
BINUTILS=@value{BINUTILS-UNTAR}
GCC=@value{GCC-UNTAR}
NEWLIB=@value{NEWLIB-UNTAR}
BUILD_DOCS=yes
BUILD_OTHER_LANGUAGES=yes
INSTALL_POINT=/home/joel/$@{GCC@}/$@{target@}
# USERCHANGE - uncomment this if you want to watch the commands.
@end example
Where each of the variables which may be modified is described below:
@table @code
@item INSTALL_POINT
is the location where you wish the GNU C/C++ cross compilation tools for
RTEMS to be built. It is recommended that the directory chosen to receive
these tools be named so that it is clear from which egcs distribution it
was generated and for which target system the tools are to produce code for.
@b{WARNING}: The @code{INSTALL_POINT} should not be a subdirectory
under the build directory. The build directory will be removed
automatically upon successful completion of the build procedure.
@item BINUTILS
is the directory under tools that contains @value{BINUTILS-UNTAR}.
For example:
@example
BINUTILS=@value{BINUTILS-UNTAR}
@end example
@item GCC
is the directory under tools that contains @value{GCC-UNTAR}.
For example,
@example
GCC=@value{GCC-UNTAR}
@end example
@item NEWLIB
is the directory under tools that contains @value{NEWLIB-UNTAR}.
For example:
@example
NEWLIB=@value{NEWLIB-UNTAR}
@end example
@item BUILD_DOCS
is set to "yes" if you want to install documentation.
For example:
@example
BUILD_DOCS=yes
@end example
@item BUILD_OTHER_LANGUAGES
is set to "yes" if you want to build languages other than C and C++. At
the current time, this enables Fortan and Objective-C.
For example:
@example
BUILD_OTHER_LANGUAGES=yes
@end example
@end table
@section Running the bit Script
After the @code{bit} script has been modified to reflect the
local installation, the modified @code{bit} script is run
using the following sequence:
@example
cd tools
./bit <target configuration>
@end example
Where <target configuration> is one of the following:
@itemize @bullet
@item hppa1.1
@item i386
@item i386-elf
@item i386-go32
@item i960
@item m68k
@item mips64orion
@item powerpc
@item sh
@item sparc
@end itemize
If no errors are encountered, the @code{bit} script will conclude by
printing messages similar to the following:
@example
The src and build-i386-tools subdirectory may now be removed.
Started: Fri Apr 10 10:14:07 CDT 1998
Finished: Fri Apr 10 12:01:33 CDT 1998
@end example
If the @code{bit} script successfully completes, then the
GNU C/C++ cross compilation tools are installed.
If the @code{bit} script does not successfully complete, then investigation
will be required to determine the source of the error.
