| 5 | <para>This package is known to behave badly when you have changed its
|
|---|
| 6 | default optimization flags (including the -march and -mcpu options).
|
|---|
| 7 | Therefore, if you have defined any environment variables that override
|
|---|
| 8 | default optimizations, such as CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS, we recommend unsetting
|
|---|
| 9 | or modifying them when building Binutils.</para>
|

|

| 11 | <para>It is recommended by the Binutils installation documentation to build
|
|---|
| 12 | Binutils outside of the source directory:</para>
|

| 13 |
|
|---|
| 14 | <para><screen><userinput>mkdir ../binutils-build
|
|---|
| 15 | cd ../binutils-build</userinput></screen></para>

| 17 | <para>Now prepare Binutils for compilation:</para>
|

| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | <para><screen><userinput>../binutils-&binutils-version;/configure \
|
|---|
| 20 | --prefix=/usr --enable-shared</userinput></screen></para>

| 22 | <para>Compile the package:</para>

| 23 |

|---|
| 24 | <para><screen><userinput>make tooldir=/usr</userinput></screen></para>
|

| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | <para>Normally, the <emphasis>tooldir</emphasis> (the directory where the
|
|---|
| 27 | executables end up) is set to $(exec_prefix)/$(target_alias), which expands
|
|---|
| 28 | into, for example, <filename>/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu</filename>. Since we only
|
|---|
| 29 | build for our own system, we don't need this target specific directory in
|
|---|
| 30 | <filename>/usr</filename>. That setup would be used if the system was used to
|
|---|
| 31 | cross-compile (for example compiling a package on an Intel machine that
|
|---|
| 32 | generates code that can be executed on PowerPC machines).</para>
