349 | ||
350 | @item | |
351 | Answer the prompt @samp{Installation directory} with the name of the | |
352 | directory where you want the Developer's Kit installed. We recommend | |
353 | @file{/opt} (which is the default), because the compiler and other tools | |
354 | are configured for this location. (If you use another directory, | |
355 | see @ref{Paths,,Changing the Paths}.) | |
356 | ||
357 | @item | |
358 | Inspect the messages that appear in the interaction window. The | |
359 | installation script @code{Install} displays occasional messages to keep | |
360 | you informed about the steps it executes. Among them, these messages | |
361 | mark completion of the major stages of installation: | |

552 | @subsection Optional OS packages | |
553 | Many components of Solaris 2.0 are part of the standard operating system | |
554 | distribution, but are not installed by default. To install the Cygnus | |
555 | Solaris 2.0 Developer's Kit, you will need to make sure two of these | |
556 | optional components (called @dfn{packages}) are installed on your system: | |
557 | @samp{SUNWesu} and @samp{SUNWhea}. Three more packages are needed to | |
558 | run the Developer's Kit software after you've installed it: | |
559 | @samp{SUNWbtool}, @samp{SUNWtoo}, and @samp{SUNWarc}. | |
560 | ||
561 | To check whether an optional package is installed, you can run | |
562 | @samp{pkginfo @var{name}}. @code{pkginfo} is in @file{/usr/bin/}. If | |
563 | @var{name} is not installed, you will get an error, like this: | |
564 | ||
565 | @example | |
566 | eg$ @b{/usr/bin/pkginfo} @b{SUNWlibm} | |
567 | ERROR: information for "SUNWlibm" was not found | |
568 | @end example | |
569 | ||
570 | @noindent | |
571 | If @var{name} is installed, you will see a one-line summary of the | |
572 | package, like this: | |
573 | ||
574 | @example | |
575 | eg$ @b{/usr/bin/pkginfo} @b{SUNWhea} | |
576 | system SUNWhea Header Files | |
577 | @end example | |
578 | ||
579 | To install one of these optional parts of Solaris 2 (@var{name} in the | |
580 | example), put the Solaris 2.0 distribution CD in the drive, mount it | |
581 | (for example, as @file{/cdrom}), then do: | |
582 | ||
583 | @example | |
584 | /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d /cdrom/Solaris_2.0 @var{name} @dots{} | |
585 | @end example | |
586 | ||
587 | @noindent | |
588 | You can specify several package names at once. | |
589 | ||
590 | These are the Solaris 2 optional packages you'll need to run the | |
591 | Developer's Kit: | |
592 | ||
593 | @table @code | |
594 | @item SUNWarc | |
595 | @emph{Needed to link your programs:} Archive libraries for system | |

599 | @emph{Needed to build your programs:} ``SPARCCompilers | |
600 | 2.0 Bundled tools''. Most of the contents of @file{/usr/ccs/bin} | |
601 | (most notably, the assembler) come from this package. | |
602 | ||
603 | @item SUNWesu | |
604 | @emph{Needed to install the Developer's Kit:} ``Extended System | |
605 | Utilities''. The decompression program (@code{compress}, | |
606 | @code{uncompress}, @code{zcat}) is in this package; it is used to | |
607 | extract the contents of the Developer's Kit. | |
608 | ||
609 | @item SUNWhea | |
610 | @emph{Needed to complete installation and compile your programs:} Header | |
611 | files (@file{/usr/include}). | |
612 | ||
613 | @item SUNWtoo | |
614 | @emph{Needed to link your programs:} ``Programming Tools'', notably the | |
615 | linker, @code{/usr/ccs/bin/ld}. | |
616 | @end table | |

619 | One additional optional package may be of interest: | |
620 | ||
621 | @table @code | |
622 | @item SUNWlibm | |
623 | Sun's math subroutine library. This is not required, however, as a free | |

627 | @ifset TAPEinst | |
628 | @node A tape drive | |
629 | @subsection A tape drive | |
630 | You need access to a tape drive that can read the distribution. | |
631 | The drive need not be on the ||HOST|| where you want to run the | |
632 | software; but it is best if the machine with a tape drive and your | |
633 | ||HOST|| can mount a common file system. At the very least, you need | |
634 | some sort of file transfer capability between the machine with a | |
635 | tape drive and your ||HOST||. | |
636 | @end ifset | |
637 | ||
638 | @node Disk space | |
639 | @subsection Disk space | |
640 | The total space required to extract and install | |
641 | binaries and source for all programs is | |
642 | ||DF|| megabytes. | |
643 | ||
644 | The software is configured to go into @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||}. If you have | |
645 | space available, but not in the same file system as @file{/opt}, you can | |
646 | use @samp{ln -s} to create @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||} as a symbolic link to the | |
647 | file system where you do have the space available. | |
648 | ||
649 | @ifclear FTPorCD | |
650 | If you don't have enough space, you may be able to install binaries only; | |
651 | see @ref{Limited Space,,Not Enough Space}. The space required for | |
652 | installing the binaries on ||HOST|| systems is ||BD|| megabytes. | |
653 | @end ifclear | |
654 | ||
655 | @node Write access | |
656 | @subsection Write access | |
657 | You need write access to @file{/opt}, or at least to an existing | |
658 | @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||} directory. If you can't write in | |
659 | @file{/opt} or @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||}, see @ref{No access,,No | |
660 | Access to @file{/opt}}. | |
661 | ||
662 | @ifclear FTPorCD | |
663 | Root access is @emph{not} necessary to run the installation itself; | |
664 | but you might need it briefly | |
665 | @ifset CDROMinst | |
666 | to mount the @sc{cd-rom} drive, and | |
667 | @end ifset | |
668 | to arrange for a writable @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||} directory. The detailed | |

679 | @table @asis | |
680 | @item Computer output is shown in @code{typewriter font.} | |
681 | @item Your input is indicated by @b{a bold typewriter font.} | |
682 | @item Text to be replaced, rather than typed verbatim, is in @var{this font.} | |
683 | @item Comments appear in @i{italic font}. | |

686 | In examples, we show the system prompt as @samp{eg$}. | |
687 | ||
688 | The Cygnus cygnus-sol2-||RELNO|| ||MEDIUM|| contains two separate | |
689 | files. The first file is a script called @code{Install}; | |
690 | the second file contains the Developer's Kit software. To get | |
691 | the software onto your system, you need to make sure you have the space | |
692 | you'll need for it, and get the @code{Install} script off the ||MEDIUM||. | |
693 | Then you can use the @code{Install} script to choose what else to | |
694 | install. | |
695 | ||
696 | Two checklists follow. The first checklist shows what to do if you have | |
697 | a ||MEDIUM|| drive on the ||HOST|| where you want to install the | |
698 | Developer's Kit; the second shows how to use another networked machine | |
699 | to read the ||MEDIUM||, then finish the installation on your ||HOST||. | |
700 | ||
701 | Both checklists suggest installing the Developer's Kit under | |
702 | @file{/opt} (if you like, via a symbolic link from another location). | |
703 | We recommend you use this location for the software, because the | |
704 | precompiled, ready-to-run versions of the tools are configured this | |
705 | way. (If you want to use a different location, and cannot establish a | |
706 | symbolic link from it to @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||}, please see | |
707 | @ref{Install-Options,,Installation Options}. To use the software | |
708 | conveniently after installing elsewhere, see @ref{Paths,,Changing the | |
709 | Paths}.) | |
710 | ||
711 | Both checklists are very similar to @ref{Brief,,Installing in Brief}, | |
712 | but provide more discussion of each step, and offer alternatives for | |
713 | ||MEDIUM|| drives, for systems whose available disk space is not in | |
714 | @code{/opt}, and for installing only portions of the Developer's Kit. | |

725 | ||
726 | Installing this way will install all the source code, plus the binaries for | |
727 | the ||HOST||. If you don't want both source and binaries, stop after | |
728 | extracting @code{Install} from the ||MEDIUM||, and read about what options you | |

735 | Make sure that you have all the required Solaris 2 OS packages: | |
736 | @code{SUNWesu}, @code{SUNWhea}, @code{SUNWbtool}, @code{SUNWarc}, and | |
737 | @code{SUNWtoo}. You can use @code{pkginfo} to check; see | |

745 | Check whether you can write in @file{/opt}: | |
746 | ||
747 | @cartouche | |
748 | @example | |
749 | eg$ @b{touch /opt/cygnus-test; rm /opt/cygnus-test} | |
750 | @end example | |

760 | @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||} directory. See @ref{No access,,No Access | |
761 | to @file{/opt}}. If only @code{root} has access, the simplest procedure | |
762 | is to @code{su root} @emph{briefly}, to create a writable | |
763 | @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||}. For instance: | |
764 | ||
765 | @cartouche | |
766 | @example | |

771 | # @b{exit} @i{give up root access} | |

776 | @ifset TAPEinst | |
777 | @item | |
778 | Load the Cygnus Support release tape (labelled ``cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||'') into | |
779 | your system's tape drive. | |
780 | ||
781 | @item | |
782 | find out the name of the @emph{non-rewinding} tape device that can read | |
783 | the release tape, on your machine. Cygnus release tapes are labelled to | |
784 | identify the kind of tape used---either QIC-24 or Exabyte. | |
785 | ||
786 | You will most likely use @file{/dev/rmt/0ln} (the last three characters | |
787 | are zero, el, en) as the tape device, regardless of which of the two | |
788 | kinds of tape you have; see @samp{man st} for details on how tape | |
789 | devices are named on Solaris 2. | |
790 | ||
791 | However, the correct device name depends on how your system's tape | |
792 | drives were installed; ask your system administrator. If the tape drive | |
793 | you plan to use is your system's only tape drive, @file{/dev/rmt/0ln} is | |
794 | very likely. Otherwise it may be something like @file{/dev/rmt/1ln}. | |
795 | ||
796 | Our examples show @file{/dev/rmt/0ln} for the tape device, as this is | |
797 | the most common case. | |
798 | ||
799 | @item | |
800 | The first file on the tape is a script called @code{Install}. That | |
801 | script automates most of the installation procedure---but first you need | |
802 | to bootstrap the installation by getting @code{Install} itself from the | |
803 | tape. It doesn't really matter where you put this initial copy of | |
804 | @code{Install}; it is only used to get things started---these examples | |
805 | assume you put it in @file{/tmp}. When you use this copy of | |
806 | @code{Install} to extract software from the tape, another copy of | |
807 | @code{Install} will be saved in @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||}. | |
808 | ||
809 | These commands will get @code{Install} into the @file{/tmp} directory | |
810 | (remember, you may need something slightly different from | |
811 | @file{/dev/rmt/0ln} as the device name for the appropriate tape drive on | |
812 | your system): | |
813 | ||
814 | @cartouche | |
815 | @example | |
816 | eg$ @b{cd /tmp} | |
817 | eg$ @b{tar xfov /dev/rmt/0ln Install} | |
818 | @end example | |
819 | @end cartouche | |
820 | ||
821 | A frightening five-line message beginning ``@code{WARNING}'' and ending | |
822 | with ``@code{Sense Key: Unit Attention}'' is very common at this point. | |
823 | It does not indicate anything is wrong; on the contrary, it's the | |
824 | operating system's way of letting you know that it noticed you put in a | |
825 | tape. | |
826 | ||
827 | If you get any error messages beginning ``tar: can't open'', check that | |
828 | the tape is correctly placed in your tape drive, and that you typed the | |
829 | right name where we show @file{/dev/rmt/0ln}. Some errors can be | |
830 | corrected by reseating the tape in the tape drive and trying again. | |
831 | @end ifset | |
832 | ||
833 | @quotation | |
834 | @emph{If you don't want both source and binaries, stop now,} and read about | |
835 | what options you can use with @code{Install} in | |
836 | @ref{Install-Options,,Installation Options}. For examples of variations | |
837 | on what to install, see @ref{Examples,,Installation Examples}. | |
838 | @end quotation | |
839 | ||
840 | @item | |
841 | Now you can extract your Developer's Kit software by running | |
842 | @code{Install}. Use the @samp{-tape=} option to specify where | |
843 | the software comes from: | |
844 | ||
845 | @cartouche | |
846 | @example | |
847 | eg$ @b{/tmp/Install -tape=/dev/rmt/0ln} | |
848 | @end example | |
849 | @end cartouche | |
850 | ||
851 | This is a time-consuming step. @code{Install} will begin by using | |
852 | @code{tar} to extract software for your system, leaving a log in | |
853 | @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||/tar.log}. Then it prepares copies of your system | |
854 | header files, converted to comply with @sc{ansi} C | |
855 | (@pxref{Why-fixincludes,,Why Convert System Header Files?}); a log for | |
856 | this step goes in @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||/fixincludes.log}. @emph{Your | |
857 | system's original header files are not changed;} @code{Install} writes | |
858 | the converted copies in a separate, @sc{gcc}-specific directory. | |
859 | ||
860 | As it executes, @code{Install} displays occasional messages to keep you | |
861 | informed about which of these steps it's executing. Among them, these | |
862 | messages mark completion of the major stages of installation: | |
863 | ||

921 | @section Installing in @file{/opt}, with another machine's ||MEDIUM|| drive | |
922 | This checklist is for a ||HOST|| that does not have its own ||MEDIUM|| drive, | |
923 | but can share a file system with another machine that does have a ||MEDIUM|| | |
924 | drive. The other machine need not be a ||HOST||. | |

940 | Make sure a decompression program is available. The installation | |

996 | ||
997 | @item | |
998 | find out the name of the @emph{non-rewinding} tape device on the machine | |
999 | that can read the release tape. Cygnus release tapes are labelled to | |
1000 | identify the kind of tape used---either QIC-24 or Exabyte. | |
1001 | ||
1002 | On ||HOST|| (or compatible) systems running Solaris 2, you will most | |
1003 | likely use @file{/dev/rmt/0ln} (the last three characters are zero, el, | |
1004 | en) as the tape device, regardless of which of the two kinds of tape you | |
1005 | have; see @samp{man st} for details on how tape devices are named on | |
1006 | Solaris 2. | |
1007 | ||
1008 | However, the correct device name depends on the kind of system, and on | |
1009 | how the system's tape drives were installed; ask your system | |
1010 | administrator. On systems running Solaris or other Unix SVr4 variants, | |
1011 | if the tape drive you plan to use is your system's only tape drive, | |
1012 | @file{/dev/rmt/0ln} is very likely. Otherwise it may be something like | |
1013 | @file{/dev/rmt/1ln}. | |
1014 | ||
1015 | These examples show @file{/dev/@var{tape}} for the tape device; remember | |
1016 | to substitute the appropriate name. | |
1017 | ||
1018 | @item | |
1019 | The first file on the tape is a script called @code{Install}. That | |
1020 | script automates most of the installation procedure---but first you need | |
1021 | to bootstrap the installation by getting @code{Install} itself from the | |
1022 | tape. It doesn't really matter where you put this initial copy of | |
1023 | @code{Install}; it is only used to get things started---these examples | |
1024 | assume you put it in @file{/tmp}. When you use this copy of | |
1025 | @code{Install} to extract software from the tape, another copy of | |
1026 | @code{Install} will be saved in @file{@var{shr}/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||}. Later, you | |
1027 | will use that second copy to finish the installation on your ||HOST||. | |
1028 | ||
1029 | These commands will get @code{Install} into the @file{/tmp} directory | |
1030 | (remember to fill in the appropriate device for @file{/dev/@var{tape}}: | |
1031 | ||
1032 | @cartouche | |
1033 | @example | |

1039 | On Solaris-2 systems, a frightening five-line message beginning | |
1040 | ``@code{WARNING}'' and ending with ``@code{Sense Key: Unit Attention}'' | |
1041 | is very common at this point. It does not indicate anything is wrong; | |
1042 | on the contrary, it's the operating system's way of letting you know | |
1043 | that it noticed you put in a tape. Other systems may provide similar | |
1044 | amenities. | |
1045 | ||
1046 | If you get any error messages beginning with something like ``tar: can't | |
1047 | open'', check that the tape is correctly placed in your tape drive, and | |
1048 | that you typed the right name for @var{tape}. Some errors can be | |
1049 | corrected by reseating the tape in the tape drive and trying again. | |

1250 | as shown. Note that you have to say @samp{extract} on the | |
1251 | @code{Install} command line. This alerts @code{Install} to stop the | |
1252 | install procedure after it reads the software. You still have to finish the | |
1253 | installation, but the last two steps have to run on your ||HOST||. (If | |
1254 | you forget, there's no great harm done: @code{Install} will notice that | |
1255 | it can't carry out a full installation on the wrong machine, and will | |
1256 | stop with an error message---then you can go back and try again. When | |

1390 | A full installation includes up to three things: (1) extracting | |
1391 | software; (2) creating @sc{ansi}-C conforming copies of your | |
1392 | system's standard header files; and (3) testing the installation. | |
1393 | You can execute these steps separately by specifying | |
1394 | @samp{extract}, @samp{fixincludes}, or @samp{test} on the | |
1395 | @code{Install} command line. | |
1396 | ||
1397 | After you extract the software, @samp{fixincludes} is essential if you're | |
1398 | using the compiler. @samp{fixincludes} @emph{does not change your | |
1399 | system's original header files;} @code{Install} writes the converted | |
1400 | copies in a separate, @sc{gcc}-specific directory. | |
1401 | See @ref{Why-fixincludes,,Why Convert System Header Files?}, for more | |
1402 | discussion of the @samp{fixincludes} step. @code{Install} will only | |
1403 | attempt these two steps if you run it on the ||HOST||. | |
1404 | ||
1405 | @samp{test} is a confidence-building step, and doesn't | |
1406 | actually change the state of the installed software. | |
1407 | The @samp{test} step may not make sense, depending on what | |
1408 | other options you've specified---if you install only source, there's | |
1409 | nothing to test. | |
1410 | ||
1411 | If you specify a step that doesn't make sense, or if you run @code{Install} | |
1412 | on a different machine but try to run @code{fixincludes} or | |
1413 | @code{test}, @code{Install} will notice the error, and exit | |
1414 | (before doing anything at all) with an error message, so you can try | |
1415 | again. | |
1416 | ||
1417 | When you run @samp{extract}, @code{Install} leaves a log file | |
1418 | @file{tar.log} in the installation directory---by default, in | |
1419 | @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||}. | |
1420 | ||
1421 | When you run @samp{fixincludes}, @code{Install} | |
1422 | leaves a log file @file{fixincludes.log} in the @file{cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||} | |
1423 | subdirectory. | |
1424 | ||
1425 | @item remove | |
1426 | You can also use @code{Install} to remove parts of the release after | |
1427 | you've installed them. Identify what to remove with either of the | |
1428 | command-line options @samp{source} or @samp{bin}, together with | |
1429 | @samp{remove}. @code{Install} will erase these parts of the | |
1430 | installation from your system. See @ref{Removing,,Removing Parts of the | |
1431 | Developer's Kit}, for an example. | |

1461 | @chapter Why Convert System Header Files? | |
1462 | ||
1463 | It is very important to run the @samp{fixincludes} step of installation | |
1464 | (either explicitly, as @samp{Install fixincludes}, or by default when | |
1465 | you run @code{Install} with no arguments). You must do this on | |
1466 | @emph{each installation}: if many ||HOST||s share the same binaries on a | |
1467 | shared filesystem, you need only do it once---but if you install | |
1468 | separate copies, you must run @code{Install fixincludes} on each. | |
1469 | ||
1470 | The C header files supplied with SVr4 versions of Unix depend on a | |
1471 | questionable interpretation of the @sc{ansi} C standard: they test for a | |
1472 | non-@sc{ansi} environment by checking whether @code{__STDC__} is defined | |
1473 | as zero. The @sc{ansi} standard actually only specifies that | |
1474 | @code{__STDC__} will be defined to 1; if it is defined to any other | |
1475 | value, the environment is not @sc{ansi} C compatible, and @sc{ansi} C | |
1476 | says nothing about what that value might be. | |
1477 | ||
1478 | @sc{gcc} defines @code{__STDC__} to 1 when running with @samp{-ansi}, | |
1479 | when it functions as an ``@sc{ansi} C superset'' compiler. (It also sets | |
1480 | @code{__STRICT_ANSI__} when it runs with the @samp{-pedantic} option.) | |
1481 | However, @sc{gcc} leaves @code{__STDC__} undefined when it is not | |
1482 | running as an @sc{ansi} C compiler. | |
1483 | ||
1484 | Unfortunately, the Solaris 2 header files follow the SVr4 choice. Since | |
1485 | @sc{gcc} never defines @code{__STDC__} as 0, the distributed header | |
1486 | files can leave out some declarations. (Look in @file{/usr/include/time.h}, | |
1487 | for example.) | |
1488 | ||
1489 | @samp{Install fixincludes} makes copies of the system include files, | |
1490 | which have these nonstandard features removed so that @sc{gcc} can | |
1491 | process them. These copies are placed in a new, @sc{gcc}-specific | |
1492 | include directory---@emph{your system's original header files are not | |
1493 | affected.} Once these fixed header files are created, @sc{gcc} finds and | |
1494 | uses them automatically. | |
1495 | ||
1496 | If you don't run @code{fixincludes}, the GNU C compiler can only use the | |
1497 | original system header files when you compile new C programs. @emph{In | |
1498 | some cases, the resulting programs will fail at run-time}. | |
1499 | ||
1500 | @node Running | |
1501 | @chapter Running the Programs | |
1502 | Anyone who wishes to run the Cygnus development tools will need to make | |
1503 | sure the @code{PATH} environment variable will find them. The simplest | |
1504 | thing is to include @samp{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||/bin} in the | |
1505 | @code{PATH} variable. Since the directory name contains the release | |
1506 | number @samp{||RELNO||}, however, this approach will require changing | |
1507 | the paths explicitly for all users when you install a new release. | |
1508 | ||
1509 | Our installation procedures recommended creating a symbolic link like | |
1510 | this, to plan ahead for future releases: | |
1511 | ||
1512 | @example | |
1513 | @cartouche | |
1514 | eg$ @b{cd} @b{/opt} | |

1516 | @end cartouche | |
1517 | @end example | |
1518 | ||
1519 | Then people can use settings like these in initialization files: | |
1520 | ||
1521 | @example | |
1522 | @exdent For shells compatible with Bourne shell (@code{/bin/sh}, @code{bash}, or Korn shell): | |

1534 | @end example | |
1535 | ||
1536 | @noindent | |
1537 | You can also ensure that the @code{man} command can pick up the | |

1558 | @chapter Changing the Paths | |
1559 | The binaries shipped by Cygnus are configured for installation under the | |
1560 | directory @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||}. In particular, @code{gcc} | |
1561 | and the documentation browser @code{info} need to know the location of | |
1562 | the distribution. | |
1563 | ||
1564 | If you wish to run the tools after installing them in another location, | |
1565 | you can either: | |
1566 | @itemize @bullet | |
1567 | @item | |
1568 | use environment variables | |
1569 | to tell the tools where to find pieces of the installation; or | |
1570 | ||
1571 | @item | |
1572 | rebuild the tools from source, with your preferred paths built in. | |
1573 | See @ref{Rebuilding,,Rebuilding from Source}, if you want to take this | |
1574 | approach. | |
1575 | @end itemize | |
1576 | ||
1577 | In rare circumstances, the auxiliary installation script | |
1578 | @code{install_cid} will also require a workaround if you do not install | |
1579 | in @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||}. | |
1580 | ||
1581 | @subheading GCC Paths | |
1582 | @c FIXME! Add something about specs file? | |
1583 | You can run the compiler @sc{gcc} without recompiling, even if you | |
1584 | install the distribution in an alternate location, by first setting the | |
1585 | environment variable @samp{GCC_EXEC_PREFIX}. This variable specifies | |
1586 | where to find the executables, libraries, and data files used by the | |
1587 | compiler. Its value will be different depending on which set of | |
1588 | binaries you need to run. For example, if you install the distribution | |
1589 | under @file{/local} (instead of the default @file{/opt}), you could set | |
1590 | @samp{GCC_EXEC_PREFIX} as follows. (You can type the first two lines as | |
1591 | a single line, if you like; the example is split using the line | |
1592 | continuation character @samp{\} only to make it fit in the space | |
1593 | available.) | |
1594 | ||
1595 | @cartouche | |

1604 | The example assumes you use a shell compatible with the Bourne shell; if | |
1605 | you run the C shell, use the following instead. (Again, the line | |
1606 | continuation character @samp{\} is only used for convenience in the | |
1607 | example; feel free to use a single line.) | |
1608 | ||
1609 | @cartouche | |

1615 | ||
1616 | @quotation | |
1617 | @emph{Warning: The trailing slash @samp{/} is important}. The @code{gcc} | |
1618 | program uses @samp{GCC_EXEC_PREFIX} simply as a prefix. If you omit the | |
1619 | slash (or make any other mistakes in specifying the prefix), @code{gcc} | |
1620 | will fail with a message beginning @samp{installation problem, cannot | |

1622 | @end quotation | |
1623 | ||
1624 | @subheading @code{info} Paths | |

1628 | If you install elsewhere, set the environment variable @code{INFOPATH} | |
1629 | to indicate the alternate location. | |
1630 | ||
1631 | For example, again assuming you installed under @file{/local}: | |

1652 | ||
1653 | If you don't install in @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||}, @samp{install_cid | |
1654 | @var{ID}} will still work correctly in most cases. However, | |

1699 | administrator to see if another machine at your site has a drive | |
1700 | you can use. If so: | |
1701 | @table @emph | |
1702 | @item If a shared filesystem is available | |

1706 | machines. Then create @samp{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||} on your | |
1707 | ||HOST|| (the one where you want to install this Solaris 2 Developer's | |
1708 | Kit) as a symbolic link to @file{@var{shr}/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||}. | |
1709 | You'll have to run @samp{Install fixincludes} and @samp{Install test} | |
1710 | from your ||HOST|| afterwards; see @ref{cross-install,,Installing with | |
1711 | another machine's ||MEDIUM|| drive}. | |
1712 | ||
1713 | @item If some form of filetransfer is available | |
1714 | (such as @code{uucp}), read the ||MEDIUM|| using a system utility | |
1715 | (for instance, @code{dd} on Unix systems; see the system documentation for | |
1716 | the machine with a tape drive). | |
1717 | ||
1718 | There are two files on the distribution ||MEDIUM||; the first is | |
1719 | just the @code{Install} script, and the second is a compressed | |
1720 | @code{tar} format file containing the rest of the release. Read both of | |
1721 | these files, and transfer them to your own machine. Then run | |
1722 | @code{Install} as shown in @ref{local-install,,Installing with a local | |
1723 | ||MEDIUM|| drive}, but use @samp{-tape=@var{tarfile}} to specify the name of | |
1724 | the installation file, instead of @samp{-tape=/dev/rmt/0ln} as shown in | |
1725 | the examples. In the simplest case, for example (starting after you've | |
1726 | transferred @code{Install} and the tar file to your system): | |

1736 | @node Limited Space | |
1737 | @section Not Enough Space | |
1738 | If you don't have enough space to install all of the distribution, you | |
1739 | can instead extract only the compiled code, or only the source. | |
1740 | ||
1741 | The following table summarizes the approximate space (rounded up to the | |
1742 | next megabyte) needed for source and binaries. | |
1743 | There is a little overlap between the partial installations: the | |
1744 | documentation, and documentation tools, are always installed. | |

1755 | @end table | |
1756 | ||
1757 | You can easily extract these components independently of one another, by | |
1758 | using the @samp{source} or @samp{bin} arguments to the @code{Install} | |
1759 | script provided with your release. | |

1766 | If you don't have write access to @file{/opt}, first check whether | |
1767 | you're in the right group. The command @samp{ls -lLdg /opt} will show | |
1768 | you whether any group has write access to @file{/opt}, and the command | |
1769 | @code{groups} will show you what groups you're authorized to use. If | |
1770 | you're authorized to use a group with the right access, use @samp{newgrp | |
1771 | @var{groupname}} to switch to that group. | |
1772 | ||
1773 | Otherwise, you may be able to use @code{root} (if you have the password) | |
1774 | to give yourself temporary write access. There's no need to run the whole | |
1775 | installation procedure as @code{root}; just use @code{root} access | |
1776 | briefly like this--- | |
1777 | ||
1778 | @cartouche | |

1787 | ||
1788 | @noindent | |
1789 | If you do set write permissions to @code{777} to run the installation | |
1790 | procedure, remember to remove public write access when you're done, to | |
1791 | avoid potential security problems. | |
1792 | ||
1793 | If none of these things help, and you can't get write access to | |
1794 | @file{/opt} or @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||}, | |
1795 | @ifset TAPEinst | |
1796 | use the @samp{-installdir=@var{directory}} option to @code{Install} to | |
1797 | specify a different installation directory, where you @emph{can} write. | |
1798 | For example, if all the other installation defaults are right, you can | |
1799 | execute something like @samp{./Install -installdir=@var{mydir}}. | |
1800 | @end ifset | |
1801 | @ifset FTPorCD | |
1802 | use a different installation directory, where you @emph{can} write. | |

1827 | The error message ends with the device or file @code{Install} was trying | |
1828 | to use. Please check that it is the device or file you intended; | |
1829 | possible causes of trouble might include leaving off the @samp{/dev/} | |

1875 | Cygnus Support has implemented an automatic configuration scheme to | |
1876 | adapt the programs to different environments. | |
1877 | ||
1878 | Rebuilding the programs from source requires these steps: | |
1879 | @enumerate | |
1880 | @item | |
1881 | configuration | |
1882 | @item | |
1883 | compilation | |
1884 | @item | |

1887 | ||
1888 | For example, executing the following commands in sequence will rebuild | |

1914 | @node Configuration | |
1915 | @section Configuration | |
1916 | ||
1917 | You can configure the software in this release by using the shell | |
1918 | script called @code{configure}. The shell script requires one argument: | |
1919 | the host type. There are also several possible options, including a | |
1920 | @samp{-target=} option to configure for cross-system development. | |
1921 | ||
1922 | @node Config Names | |
1923 | @section Specifying Names for Hosts and Targets | |
1924 | ||
1925 | The specifications used for hosts and targets in the @code{configure} | |
1926 | script are based on a three-part naming scheme, but some short predefined | |
1927 | aliases are also supported. The full naming scheme encodes three pieces | |
1928 | of information in the following pattern: | |
1929 | ||
1930 | @example | |
1931 | @var{architecture}-@var{vendor}-@var{os} | |
1932 | @end example | |
1933 | ||
1934 | For example, you can use the alias @code{sun4sol2} as a @var{host} argument | |
1935 | or in a @samp{-target=@var{target}} option, but the equivalent full name | |
1936 | is @samp{sparc-sun-solaris2}. | |
1937 | ||
1938 | @quotation | |
1939 | @emph{Warning:} @code{configure} can represent a very large number of | |
1940 | combinations of architecture, vendor, and OS. There is by no means | |
1941 | support for all possible combinations! | |

1945 | @section @code{configure} Options | |
1946 | ||
1947 | This section summarizes the @code{configure} options and arguments. | |
1948 | Your Developer's Kit contains full online documentation for the Cygnus | |
1949 | configure system. @inforef{Using Configure,,configure.info}, to read | |
1950 | about @code{configure} in more detail, including information on how the | |
1951 | @code{configure} options relate to @file{Makefile} variables. | |
1952 | ||
1953 | @example | |
1954 | configure @r{[}-prefix=@var{dest}@r{]} | |
1955 | @r{[}-exec-prefix=@var{bindest}@r{]} | |
1956 | @r{[}-srcdir=@var{path}@r{]} | |

1960 | @end example | |
1961 | ||
1962 | @noindent | |
1963 | The binaries in this release were configured using | |
1964 | ||
1965 | @cartouche | |
1966 | @example | |
1967 | configure -prefix /opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO|| ||HOSTstr|| | |
1968 | @end example | |
1969 | @end cartouche | |
1970 | ||
1971 | @table @code | |
1972 | @item -prefix=@var{dest} | |
1973 | @var{dest} is an installation directory @emph{path prefix}, the root for | |
1974 | the directories where @code{make install} will place things. After you | |
1975 | configure with this option, @samp{make install install-info} will | |
1976 | install info files in @file{@var{dest}/info}, man pages in | |
1977 | @file{@var{dest}/man}, and---unless you also use | |
1978 | @samp{-exec-prefix}---compiled programs in @file{@var{dest}/bin}, and | |
1979 | libraries in @file{@var{dest}/lib}. If you specify | |
1980 | @samp{-prefix=/local}, for example, @code{make install} puts the | |
1981 | development tools in @file{/local/bin}. | |
1982 | ||
1983 | @emph{WARNING:} the default @var{dest} path prefix in the source is not | |
1984 | the same as the prefix for the preconfigured binaries distributed by Cygnus. | |
1985 | ||
1986 | @samp{-prefix=/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||} was used to build the binaries in this | |
1987 | release. If you do not use @code{-prefix}, the installation directory | |
1988 | is @file{/usr/local}. | |
1989 | ||
1990 | @item -exec-prefix=@var{bindest} | |
1991 | @samp{-exec-prefix} serves the same purpose as @samp{-prefix}, but | |
1992 | affects only machine-dependent targets (compiled programs and | |
1993 | libraries). Specifying both @samp{-prefix} and @samp{-exec-prefix} | |
1994 | allows you to segregate machine-dependent files, so that | |
1995 | machine-independent files can be shared. | |
1996 | ||
1997 | @emph{WARNING:} the default @var{bindest} path prefix in the source is not | |
1998 | the same as the prefix for the preconfigured binaries distributed by Cygnus. | |
1999 | ||
2000 | No @samp{-exec-prefix} was used to build the binaries in this release. | |
2001 | If you do not use @samp{-exec-prefix}, the default directory for | |
2002 | machine-dependent targets is whatever was specified with @file{-prefix} | |
2003 | (by default, @file{/usr/local}; for the binaries in this release, | |
2004 | @file{/opt/cygnus-sol2-||RELNO||}). | |
2005 | ||
2006 | @item -srcdir=@var{path} | |
2007 | Use this option to make configurations in directories separate from the | |
2008 | source directories. @code{configure} writes configuration specific files | |
2009 | in the current directory, but arranges for them to use the source in the | |
2010 | directory @var{path}. @code{configure} will create directories under | |
2011 | the working directory in parallel to the source directories below | |
2012 | @var{path}. Among other things, you can use this to build (or maintain) | |
2013 | several configurations simultaneously, in separate directories. (This | |
2014 | option requires a @code{make} program with the @samp{VPATH} feature, | |
2015 | such as the one included with Solaris 2.) | |
2016 | ||
2017 | @item -norecursion | |
2018 | Configure only the directory level where @code{configure} is executed; do not | |
2019 | propagate configuration to subdirectories. | |
2020 | ||
2021 | @item -target=@var{target} | |
2022 | Configure the development tools for cross-development (compiling, | |
2023 | debugging, or other processing) of programs running on the specified | |
2024 | @var{target}. Without this option, programs are configured ``native'', | |
2025 | that is, for managing programs that run on the same machine (@var{host}) | |
2026 | as the development tools themselves. | |
2027 | ||
2028 | There is no convenient way to generate a list of all available targets. | |
2029 | ||
2030 | @item @var{host} @dots{} | |
2031 | Configure the development tools to run on the specified @var{host}. | |
2032 | ||
2033 | There is no convenient way to generate a list of all available hosts. | |
2034 | @end table | |
2035 | ||
2036 | The @samp{-prefix=@var{dest}} and @samp{-exec-prefix=@var{bindest}} | |
2037 | options are particularly important. If you don't specify a @var{dest} | |
2038 | or @var{bindest} directory, the @file{Makefile} installs binaries in | |
2039 | subdirectories of @file{/usr/local}. These options are important | |
2040 | because the @var{dest} and @var{bindest} directories are used for | |
2041 | several purposes: | |
2042 | ||
2043 | @enumerate | |
2044 | @item | |
2045 | @var{bindest} is the directory where binaries are installed. | |
2046 | ||
2047 | @item | |
2048 | @var{bindest} is built into the compiler itself for the | |
2049 | locations of @sc{gcc} specific include files, the locations of @sc{gcc} | |
2050 | subprograms, and the location of the @sc{gcc} specific library | |
2051 | @file{libgcc.a}. | |
2052 | ||
2053 | @item | |
2054 | @var{dest} is compiled into @code{info} as the default directory | |
2055 | for the documentation. | |
2056 | ||
2057 | @end enumerate | |
2058 | ||
2059 | @node Compilation | |
2060 | @section Compilation | |
2061 | ||
2062 | After you've run @code{configure} (which writes the final | |
2063 | @file{Makefile} in each directory), compilation is straightforward. | |
2064 | To compile all the programs in the Developer's Kit, run: | |
2065 | ||
2066 | @cartouche | |
2067 | @example | |
2068 | @b{make all info} | |
2069 | @end example | |
2070 | @end cartouche | |
2071 | ||
2072 | The @code{make} output is lengthy; consider redirecting it to a file. | |
2073 | ||
2074 | The overall @file{Makefile} propagates the value of the @code{CC} | |
2075 | variable explicitly, so that you can easily control the compiler used in | |
2076 | this step. @code{CFLAGS} is treated the same way. For instance, to | |
2077 | build the compiler a second time, using @sc{gcc} to compile itself | |
2078 | (after building and installing it in the alternate directory | |
2079 | @file{/local/gnu}), you might use | |
2080 | ||
2081 | @cartouche | |
2082 | @example | |
2083 | @b{make CC=/local/gnu/H-sun4/bin/gcc CFLAGS=-O all info} | |
2084 | @end example | |
2085 | @end cartouche | |
2086 | ||
2087 | The conventional targets @samp{all}, @samp{install}, and @samp{clean} | |
2088 | are supported at all levels of @file{Makefile}. Other targets are | |
2089 | supported as well, as appropriate in each directory; please read the | |
2090 | individual @file{Makefile} for details. Each @file{Makefile} in the | |
2091 | source directories includes ample comments to help you read it. If you | |
2092 | are not familiar with @code{make}, refer to @ref{Overview,,Overview of | |
2093 | @code{make}, make.info, GNU Make: A Program for Directing | |
2094 | Recompilation}. | |

2192 | @chapter About Cygnus Support | |
2193 | ||
2194 | Cygnus Support was founded in 1989 to provide commercial support for | |
2195 | free software. Cygnus supplies products and services that benefit | |
2196 | advanced development groups by allowing them to use state-of-the-art | |
2197 | tools without having to maintain them. With Cygnus Support, sites that | |
2198 | once were forced to do their own tool support can recover that valuable | |
2199 | staff time. Former users of proprietary software now may choose | |
2200 | supported free software, combining the advantages of both worlds. | |
2201 | ||
2202 | Free software is faster, more powerful, and more portable than its | |
2203 | proprietary counterparts. It evolves faster because users who want to | |
2204 | make improvements are free to do so. Cygnus tracks these | |
2205 | improvements and integrates them into tested, stable versions ready | |
2206 | for commercial use, then backs this software with comprehensive | |
2207 | support. | |
2208 | ||
2209 | With Cygnus Support as your partner, you will have the software and | |
2210 | the support you need to meet your business objectives. Cygnus | |
2211 | is intimately familiar with this software from extensive experience | |
2212 | using, debugging, and implementing it. You get direct access to the | |
2213 | most qualified support people: the authors of the software. | |
2214 | ||
2215 | We provide ``vintage'' releases---the most stable versions, which have | |
2216 | been though even more extensive use and testing---or up-to-the minute | |
2217 | ``progressive'' releases, for those who need the very latest version. | |
2218 | ||
2219 | Because all our improvements are also free software, you can | |
2220 | distribute them widely within your organization, or to your customers, | |
2221 | without extra cost. | |
