| 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>
|

| 10 |
|
|---|
| 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>
|
|---|
| 16 |
|
|---|
| 17 | <para>Next, prepare Binutils to be compiled:</para>
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | <para><screen><userinput>../binutils-&binutils-version;/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared</userinput></screen></para>
|

|

| 21 | <para>Continue with compiling the package:</para>
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | <para><screen><userinput>make tooldir=/usr</userinput></screen></para>
|

| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | <para>Normally, the <emphasis>tooldir</emphasis> (the directory where the
|
|---|
| 26 | executables end up) is set to $(exec_prefix)/$(target_alias) which expands
|
|---|
| 27 | into, for example, /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu. Since we only build for our
|
|---|
| 28 | own system, we don't need this target specific directory in /usr. That
|
|---|
| 29 | setup would be used if the system was used to cross-compile (for example
|
|---|
| 30 | compiling a package on the Intel machine that generates code that can be
|
|---|
| 31 | executed on Apple PowerPC machines).</para>
|

| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | <para>Install the package:</para>
|
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | <para><screen><userinput>make tooldir=/usr install</userinput></screen></para>
|

| 36 |

| 37 | <para>Install the info pages:</para>

| 39 | <para><screen><userinput>make tooldir=/usr install-info</userinput></screen></para>
|

| 40 |
|

| 41 | <para>Some packages require the <emphasis>libiberty</emphasis> header
|
|---|
| 42 | in order to build. To honor those packages, install the file:</para>
|

| 43 |
|
