<H2><A NAME="prereqs">Tools you will need beforehand</A></H2>
|
|
<P>You will need a recent version of g++ to compile the snapshot of
|
|
libstdc++, such as one of the GCC 3.x snapshots (insert standard
|
|
caveat about using snapshots rather than formal releases). You
|
|
will need the full source
|
|
distribution to whatever compiler release you are using. The
|
|
GCC snapshots can be had from one of the sites on their
|
|
<A HREF="http://gcc.gnu.org/mirrors.html">mirror list</A>.
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>In addition, if you plan to modify the makefiles or regenerate the
|
|
configure scripts you'll need recent versions of the GNU Autotools:
|
|
autoconf (version 2.50 or later),
|
|
automake (version 1.4 or later), <!-- special version? -->
|
|
and libtool (multilanguage, version 1.4 or later), <!-- really? -->
|
|
in order to rebuild the files.
|
|
These tools are all required to be installed in the same location
|
|
(most linux distributions install these tools by default, so no
|
|
worries as long as the versions are correct).
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>GNU Make is the only 'make' that will parse the makefiles correctly.
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>To test your build, you will need either DejaGNU 1.4 (to run
|
|
<TT>'make check'</TT> like
|
|
<A HREF="http://gcc.gnu.org/install/test.html">the rest of GCC</A>),
|
|
or Bash 2.x (to run <TT>'make check-script'</TT>).
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>As of June 19, 2000, libstdc++ attempts to use tricky and
|
|
space-saving features of the GNU toolchain, enabled with
|
|
<TT>-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wl,--gc-sections</TT>.
|
|
To obtain maximum benefit from this, binutils after this date
|
|
should also be used (bugs were fixed with C++ exception handling
|
|
related to this change in libstdc++-v3). The version of these
|
|
tools should be <TT>2.10.90</TT>, and you can get snapshots (as
|
|
well as releases) of binutils
|
|
<A HREF="ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/binutils">here</A>.
|
|
</P>

<!-- Commented until some system-specific requirements appear.
|
|
<P>Finally, a few system-specific requirements:

|
|
<DT>Cygwin

<H2><A NAME="srcsetup">Setting up the source directories</A></H2>
|
|
<P>The following definitions will be used throughout the rest of this
|
|
document:
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI><EM>gccsrcdir</EM>: The directory holding the source of the
|
|
compiler. It should have several subdirectories like
|
|
<EM>gccsrcdir</EM>/libio and <EM>gccsrcdir</EM>/gcc.
|
|
<LI><EM>libsrcdir</EM>: The directory holding the source of the
|
|
C++ library.
|
|
<LI><EM>gccbuilddir</EM>: The build directory for the compiler
|
|
in <EM>gccsrcdir</EM>. GCC requires that it be built in
|
|
a different directory than its sources.
|
|
<LI><EM>libbuilddir</EM>: The build directory for libstdc++.
|
|
<LI><EM>destdir</EM>: The eventual installation directory for
|
|
the compiler/libraries, set with the --prefix option to
|
|
the configure script.
|
|
</UL>
|
|
Note:
|
|
<OL>
|
|
<LI>The 3.0 version and following are intended to replace the
|
|
library that comes with the compiler, so <EM>libsrcdir</EM>
|
|
and <EM>libbuilddir</EM> must be contained under
|
|
<EM>gccsrcdir</EM> and <EM>gccbuilddir</EM>, respectively.
|
|
<LI>The source, build, and installation directories should
|
|
not be parents of one another; i.e., these should all be
|
|
separate directories. Please don't build out of the
|
|
source directory.
|
|
</OL>
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>Check out or download the gcc sources: the resulting source directory
|
|
(<TT>gcc</TT> or <TT>gcc-3.0</TT>, for example) is <EM>gccsrcdir</EM>.
|
|
Once in <EM>gccsrcdir</EM>, you'll need to rename or delete the
|
|
libstdc++-v3 directory which comes with that snapshot:
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
mv libstdc++-v3 libstdc++-v3-previous <STRONG>[OR]</STRONG>
|
|
rm -r libstdc++-v3</PRE>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Next, unpack the libstdc++-v3 library tarball into this
|
|
<EM>gccsrcdir</EM> directory; it will create a
|
|
<EM>libsrcdir</EM> called <TT>libstdc++-<EM>version</EM></TT>:
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
gzip -dc libstdc++-version.tar.gz | tar xf -</PRE>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Finally, rename <EM>libsrcdir</EM> to <TT>libstdc++-v3</TT> so that
|
|
gcc's configure flags will be able to deal with the new library.
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
mv <EM>libsrcdir</EM> libstdc++-v3</PRE>
|
|
</P>
|
|
|

|

<H2><A NAME="config">Configuring</A></H2>
|
|
<P>If you have never done this before, you should read the basic
|
|
<A HREF="http://gcc.gnu.org/install/">GCC Installation
|
|
Instructions</A> first.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>When building libstdc++-v3 you'll have to configure
|
|
the entire <EM>gccsrcdir</EM> directory. The full list of libstdc++-v3
|
|
specific configuration options, not dependent on the specific compiler
|
|
release being used, can be found <A HREF="configopts.html">here</A>.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Consider possibly using --enable-languages=c++ to save time by only
|
|
building the C++ language parts.
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<P><PRE>
|
|
cd <EM>gccbuilddir</EM>
|
|
<EM>gccsrcdir</EM>/configure --prefix=<EM>destdir</EM> --other-opts...</PRE>
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<HR>
|
|
<H2><A NAME="install">Building and installing the library</A></H2>
|
|
<P>Now you have a few options:</P>
|
|
<H3>[re]building <EM>everything</EM></H3>
|
|
<P>If you're building GCC from scratch, you can do the usual
|
|
<TT> 'make bootstrap' </TT> here, and libstdc++-v3 will be built
|
|
as its default C++ library. The generated g++ will magically
|
|
use the correct headers, link against the correct library
|
|
binary, and in general using libstdc++-v3 will be a piece of
|
|
cake. You're done; run <TT>'make install'</TT> (see the GCC
|
|
installation instructions) to put the new compiler and libraries
|
|
into place.
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<H3>[re]building only libstdc++</H3>
|
|
<P>To rebuild just libstdc++, use:
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
make all-target-<EM>libstdc++-v3</EM></PRE>
|
|
This will configure and build the C++ library in the
|
|
<EM>gccbuilddir/cpu-vendor-os/</EM>libstdc++ directory.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>If you are rebuilding from a previous build [attempt], some
|
|
information is kept in a cache file. This is stored in
|
|
<EM>gccbuilddir/cpu-vendor-os/</EM> if you are building with
|
|
multilibs (the default), or in
|
|
<EM>gccbuilddir/cpu-vendor-os/</EM>libstdc++-v3 if you have
|
|
multilibs disabled. The filename is config.cache; if previous
|
|
information is causing problems, you can delete it entirely, or
|
|
simply edit it and remove lines.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>You're done. Now install the rebuilt pieces with
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
make install</PRE>
|
|
or
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
make install-gcc
|
|
make install-target-libstdc++-v3</PRE>
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<HR>
|
|
<H2><A NAME="postinstall">Post-installation</A></H2>
|
|
<P>Installation will create the <EM>destdir</EM> directory and
|
|
populate it with subdirectories:
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
lib/
|
|
include/g++-v3/
|
|
backward/
|
|
bits/
|
|
<EM>cpu-vendor-os</EM>/bits/
|
|
ext/</PRE>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>You can check the status of the build without installing it using
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
make check</PRE>
|
|
or you can check the status of the installed library using
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
make check-install</PRE>
|
|
in the <EM>libbuilddir</EM> directory.
|
|
These commands will create a 'testsuite' directory underneath
|
|
<EM>libbuilddir</EM> containing the results of the tests. We are
|
|
interested in any strange failures of the testsuite; please see
|
|
<A HREF="faq/index.html#2_4">FAQ 2.4</A> for which files to examine.

<H2><A NAME="usage">Using the library</A></H2>
|
|
<LI><B>Find the new library at runtime (shared linking only)</B>
|
|
<P>If you only built a static library (libstdc++.a), or if you
|
|
specified static linking, you don't have to worry about this.
|
|
But if you built a shared library (libstdc++.so) and linked
|
|
against it, then you will need to find that library when you
|
|
run the executable.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Methods vary for different platforms and different styles, but
|
|
the usual ones are printed to the screen during installation.
|
|
They include:
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>At runtime set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in your environment correctly,
|
|
so that the shared library for libstdc++ can be found and
|
|
loaded. Be certain that you understand all of the other
|
|
implications and behavior of LD_LIBRARY_PATH first (few
|
|
people do, and they get into trouble).
|
|
<LI>Compile the path to find the library at runtime into the
|
|
program. This can be done by passing certain options to g++,
|
|
which will in turn pass them on to the linker. The exact
|
|
format of the options is dependent on which linker you use:
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>GNU ld (default on Linux):<TT> -Wl,--rpath,<EM>destdir</EM>/lib</TT>
|
|
<LI>IRIX ld:<TT> -Wl,-rpath,<EM>destdir</EM>/lib</TT>
|
|
<LI>Solaris ld:<TT> -Wl,-R<EM>destdir</EM>/lib</TT>
|
|
<LI>More...?
|
|
</UL>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Use the <TT>ldd(1)</TT> utility to show which library the system
|
|
thinks it will get at runtime.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>A libstdc++.la file is also installed, for use with Libtool. If
|
|
you use Libtool to create your executables, these details are
|
|
taken care of for you.
