README 

        
This is a collection of all the compilation tools necessary to

compile ISO C and C++ programs, except hardware drivers and

initialization routines, for the CRIS architecture (ETRAX

chips), and to make pure binary files of the linked output.



To configure, compile and install:

./install-cris-tools [install-dir [man-dir [info-dir [temp-dir] ["/" [tooltuples]]]]



The install script will ask a couple of questions regarding

installation directories, test for file access permissions, and test

for presence of a previous installation.  You have to have write

permissions in these directories, of course.  You may specify

/dev/null for man-dir or info-dir if you do not want documentation.

No space characters are allowed in any of the argument paths,

the path to install-cris-tools and the current directory; "cwd",

"pwd".



Different compiler parts (including header files) will be installed in

various sub-directories under install-dir.  The compiler tools will be

installed in install-dir/bin, with some compatibility scripts and

links in install-dir.  Temporary files such as object files will be

located in temp-dir; it defaults to "./tmpdir".



The "/" argument is a placeholder for a future

installation-prefix (used with packaging, not an end-user

feature), which currently does not work due to not being

supported in this version of gcc.  It must currently be

specified as "" (an empty argument) or "/".



The "tooltuples" argument allow for installation of a subset of

the possible compiler-tools variants, represented by their GNU

target tuple: cris-axis-linux-gnu crisv32-axis-elf etc.  Use

commas and/or space to make a list.  The default is all:

cris-axis-elf, cris-axis-linux-gnu, crisv32-axis-elf and

crisv32-axis-linux-gnu



If you're opposed to executing unknown shell scripts, you're welcome

to look in the install-cris-tools shell script and execute the steps

manually.  Beware, this is error-prone and tedious.  The shell script

is provided as a convenience: it checks details that must not be

forgotten and produces a log to include in an email in case things go

wrong.



There is also a cris-dist.spec, corresponding to what is used in RPM:s

distributed at .



If you encounter problems, or have questions regarding these tools, email

.  But before that, please look at the

error-message in the log for locally induced failures, such as "disk

full".

 Please also note that some NFS configurations (between SUN/Solaris and

Linux) have problems, showing behavior similar to fluky hardware.  For

information about diagnosing fluky hardware, see

.



Relation between this and the closest publicly available sources:



- cris-dist-N.M/binutils directory: Latest import is from FSF

  binutils 2.12.1.  See .

  Testsuites for architectures other than CRIS may be omitted.

  Axis-specific changes are entered into ChangeLog files named

  ChangeLog.Axis.



- cris-dist-N.M/gnu-toplev/newlib and cris-dist-N.M/gnu-toplev/libgloss

  directories: Latest import is the CVS version of 2000-04-27 23:30

  CET (see ): date tag

  "-D 2000-04-27 23:30 CET".  Changes are logged in files named

  ChangeLog.Axis.  The "cris" directories are new.



- The rest of cris-dist-N.M/gnu-toplev comes from FSF gcc 3.2.1.

  Changes are logged in files named ChangeLog.Axis.  Many large

  directories and files not necessary for installation are not

  included (for example, most testsuites, unsupported languages and

  their libraries).



Some compilation and installation figures for the tuples

"cris-axis-elf, cris-axis-linux-gnu":

 3 hours  2xPII 512M 350MHz, GNU/Linux-2.2.17, local 10K RPM disks.

 1 hour   AMD Athlon 384M 1GHz, GNU/Linux 2.2.17, local 7200 RPM disks.

 20 min   AMD Opteron 254 2.8GHz with (i686) GNU/Linux 2.6.8, NFS source, local 7200 RPM disks.



For a full installation, of

"crisv32-axis-linux-gnu, cris-axis-linux-gnu, crisv32-axis-elf, cris-axis-elf":

 27 min   AMD Opteron 254 2.8 GHz with (i686) GNU/Linux 2.6.8, NFS source, to local 7200 RPM disks.

 40 min   AMD Opteron 150 2.4 GHz with (x86_64) GNU/Linux 2.6.8, NFS source, to local 7200 RPM disks.



Disk needs, approximately, for a supposedly typically configured x86

or x86_64 GNU/Linux system, with installation of glibc:

  260M Compiler libraries, tool binaries, header files.

    6M Info and manual-pages

 1300M Temporaries



Note that GNU make is required.  Additionally, if glibc is included, a

GNU host system such as GNU/Linux is required.
