|
||
and properly built binaries useful for linking to other software is
|
||
a multi-step process. Steps include getting the sources,
|
||
configuring and building the sources, testing, and installation.
|
||
</p><p>The general outline of commands is something like:
|
||
</p><pre class="programlisting">
|
||
<span class="emphasis"><em>get gcc sources</em></span>
|
||
<span class="emphasis"><em>extract into gccsrcdir</em></span>
|
||
mkdir <span class="emphasis"><em>gccbuilddir</em></span>
|
||
cd <span class="emphasis"><em>gccbuilddir</em></span>
|
||
<span class="emphasis"><em>gccsrcdir</em></span>/configure --prefix=<span class="emphasis"><em>destdir</em></span> --other-opts...
|
||
make
|
||
make check
|
||
make install
|
||
</pre><p>
|
||
Each step is described in more detail in the following sections.
|
||

|
||
Because libstdc++ is part of GCC, the primary source for
|
||
installation instructions is
|
||
<a class="ulink" href="http://gcc.gnu.org/install/" target="_top">the GCC install page</a>.
|
||
In particular, list of prerequisite software needed to build the library
|
||
<a class="ulink" href="http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html" target="_top">
|
||
starts with those requirements.</a> The same pages also list
|
||
the tools you will need if you wish to modify the source.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
Additional data is given here only where it applies to libstdc++.
|
||
</p><p>As of GCC 4.0.1 the minimum version of binutils required to build
|
||
libstdc++ is <code class="code">2.15.90.0.1.1</code>. You can get snapshots
|
||
(as well as releases) of binutils from
|
||
<a class="ulink" href="ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/binutils/" target="_top">
|
||
ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/binutils</a>.
|
||
Older releases of libstdc++ do not require such a recent version,
|
||
but to take full advantage of useful space-saving features and
|
||
bug-fixes you should use a recent binutils whenever possible.
|
||
The configure process will automatically detect and use these
|
||
features if the underlying support is present.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
To generate the API documentation from the sources you will need
|
||
Doxygen, see <a class="link" href="documentation_style.html" title="Documentation Style">Documentation
|
||
Style</a> in the appendix for full details.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
Finally, a few system-specific requirements:
|
||
</p><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term">linux</span></dt><dd><p>
|
||
If gcc 3.1.0 or later on is being used on linux, an attempt
|
||
will be made to use "C" library functionality necessary for
|
||
C++ named locale support. For gcc 3.2.1 and later, this
|
||
means that glibc 2.2.5 or later is required and the "C"
|
||
library de_DE locale information must be installed.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
Note however that the sanity checks involving the de_DE
|
||
locale are skipped when an explicit --enable-clocale=gnu
|
||
configure option is used: only the basic checks are carried
|
||
out, defending against misconfigurations.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
If the 'gnu' locale model is being used, the following
|
||
locales are used and tested in the libstdc++ testsuites.
|
||
The first column is the name of the locale, the second is
|
||
the character set it is expected to use.

</pre><p>Failure to have the underlying "C" library locale
|
||
information installed will mean that C++ named locales for the
|
||
above regions will not work: because of this, the libstdc++
|
||
testsuite will skip the named locale tests. If this isn't an
|
||
issue, don't worry about it. If named locales are needed, the
|
||
underlying locale information must be installed. Note that
|
||
rebuilding libstdc++ after the "C" locales are installed is not
|
||
necessary.
