| 5 | <para>Now is an appropriate time to verify that your pseudo terminals (PTYs) are
|
|---|
| 6 | working properly inside the chroot environment. We will again quickly check that
|
|---|
| 7 | everything is set up correctly by performing a simple test:</para>
|
|---|
| 8 |
|
|---|
| 9 | <para><screen><userinput>expect -c "spawn ls"</userinput></screen></para>
|
|---|
| 10 |
|
|---|
| 11 | <para>If you receive the message:</para>
|
|---|
| 12 |
|
|---|
| 13 | <blockquote><screen>The system has no more ptys. Ask your system administrator to create more.</screen></blockquote>
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | <para>Your chroot environment is not set up for proper PTY operation. In this
|
|---|
| 16 | case there is no point in running the test suites for Binutils and GCC until you
|
|---|
| 17 | are able to resolve the issue. Please refer back to the "Mounting the proc and
|
|---|
| 18 | devpts file systems" and "Creating devices (Makedev)" sections and perform the
|
|---|
| 19 | recommended steps to fix the problem.</para>
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 | <note><para>The test suite for Binutils in this section is considered
|
|---|
| 22 | <emphasis>critical</emphasis>. Our advice is to not skip it under any
|
|---|
| 23 | circumstances.</para> </note>
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | <para>This package is known to behave badly when you have changed its
|
|---|
| 26 | default optimization flags (including the -march and -mcpu options).
|
|---|
| 27 | Therefore, if you have defined any environment variables that override
|
|---|
| 28 | default optimizations, such as CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS, we recommend unsetting
|
|---|
| 29 | or modifying them when building Binutils.</para>
|
|---|
| 30 |
|
|---|
| 31 | <para>The Binutils documentation recommends building Binutils outside of the
|
|---|
| 32 | source directory in a dedicated build directory:</para>
|
|---|
| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 | <para><screen><userinput>mkdir ../binutils-build
|
|---|
| 35 | cd ../binutils-build</userinput></screen></para>
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | <para>Now prepare Binutils for compilation:</para>
|
|---|
| 38 |
|
|---|
| 39 | <para><screen><userinput>../binutils-&binutils-version;/configure \
|
|---|
| 40 | --prefix=/usr --enable-shared</userinput></screen></para>
|
|---|
| 41 |
|
|---|
| 42 | <para>Compile the package:</para>
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | <para><screen><userinput>make tooldir=/usr</userinput></screen></para>
|
|---|
| 45 |
|
|---|
| 46 | <para>Normally, the <emphasis>tooldir</emphasis> (the directory where the
|
|---|
| 47 | executables end up) is set to $(exec_prefix)/$(target_alias), which expands
|
|---|
| 48 | into, for example, <filename>/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu</filename>. Since we only
|
|---|
| 49 | build for our own system, we don't need this target specific directory in
|
|---|
| 50 | <filename>/usr</filename>. That setup would be used if the system was used to
|
|---|
| 51 | cross-compile (for example compiling a package on an Intel machine that
|
|---|
| 52 | generates code that can be executed on PowerPC machines).</para>
|
|---|
| 53 |
|
|---|
| 54 | <para>Test the results:</para>
|
|---|
| 55 |
|
|---|
| 56 | <para><screen><userinput>make check</userinput></screen></para>
|
|---|
| 57 |
|
|---|
| 58 | <para>The test suite notes from the "Installing Binutils - Pass 2" section in
|
|---|
| 59 | Chapter 5 are still very much appropriate here. Be sure to refer back there
|
|---|
| 60 | should you have any doubts.</para>
|
|---|
| 61 |
|
|---|
| 62 | <para>Install the package:</para>
|
|---|
| 63 |
|
|---|
| 64 | <para><screen><userinput>make tooldir=/usr install</userinput></screen></para>
|
|---|
| 65 |
|
|---|
| 66 | <para>Install the <emphasis>libiberty</emphasis> header file that is needed by
|
|---|
| 67 | some packages:</para>
|
|---|
| 68 |
|
|---|
| 69 | <para><screen><userinput>cp ../binutils-&binutils-version;/include/libiberty.h /usr/include</userinput></screen></para>
