This is a beta release of a completely rewritten binutils distribution. (Rewritten since binutils 1.x, that is.) The linker (ld) has been moved into a separate directory, which should be ../ld. Linker-specific notes are in ../ld/README. As of version 2.5, the assembler (as) is also included in this package, in ../gas. Assembler-specific notes can be found in ../gas/README. These programs have been tested on various architectures. However, since this is a beta release taken directly from an evolving source tree, there might be some problems. In particular, the programs have not been ported to as many machines as the old binutils. There are also features of the old versions that are missing on the new programs. We would appreciate patches to make things run on other machines; especially welcome are fixes for what used to work on the old programs! (See ./TODO, as well a ../bfd/TODO and ../ld/TODO.) Recent changes are in ./NEWS, ../ld/NEWS, and ../gas/NEWS. Unpacking and Installation -- quick overview ========================== In this release, the binary utilities, the linker, the generic GNU include files, the BFD ("binary file description") library, gprof, and getopt all have directories of their own underneath the binutils-2.7 directory. The idea is that a variety of GNU tools can share a common copy of these things. Configuration scripts and makefiles exist to cruise up and down this directory tree and automatically build all the pieces in the right order. When you unpack the binutils-2.7.tar.gz file, you'll get a directory called something like `binutils-2.7', which contains: COPYING bfd/ configure* libiberty/ COPYING.LIB binutils/ configure.in move-if-change* CYGNUS build-all.mk etc/ opcodes/ ChangeLog config/ gprof/ test-build.mk Makefile.in config.guess* inc To build binutils, you can just do: cd binutils-2.7 ./configure [ --enable-targets='target1,target2...' ] make make install # copies the programs files into /usr/local/bin # by default. This will configure and build all the libraries as well as binutils and the linker. The --enable-targets option adds support for more binary file formats besides the default. By default, support for only the selected target file format is compiled in. To add support for more formats, list them as the argument to --enable-targets, separated by commas. For example: ./configure --enable-targets=sun3,rs6000-aix,decstation The name 'all' compiles in support for all valid BFD targets (this was the default in previous releases): ./configure --enable-targets=all The binutils can be used in a cross-development environment. The file etc/configure.texi contains more information. You can also specify the --enable-shared option when you run configure. This will build the BFD and opcodes libraries as shared libraries. This will only work on certain systems, and currently will only work when compiling with gcc. You can use arguments with the --enable-shared option to indicate that only certain libraries should be built shared; for example, --enable-shared=bfd. The only possibilities in a binutils release are bfd and opcodes. The binutils will be linked against the shared libraries. The build step will attempt to place the correct library in the runtime search path for the binaries. However, in some cases, after you install the binaries, you may have to set an environment variable, normally LD_LIBRARY_PATH, so that the system can find the installed libbfd shared library. If you specify --enable-commonbfdlib as well as --enable-shared, then a single shared library will be built containing the bfd, opcodes, and libiberty libraries. It will be installed as libbfd. This option will make the binutils programs as small as possible. If you don't have ar ==================== If your system does not already have an ar program, the normal binutils build process will not work. In this case, run configure as usual. Before running make, run this script: #!/bin/sh MAKE=${MAKE-make} ${MAKE} $* AR=true all-libiberty ${MAKE} $* AR=true all-bfd cd binutils ${MAKE} $* ADDL_DEPS='$(BULIBS)' ADDL_LIBS='$(BULIBS) ../bfd/*.o `cat ../libiberty/required-list ../libiberty/needed-list | sed -e "s,\([^ ][^ ]*\),../libiberty/\1,g"`' ar This script will build an ar program in binutils/ar. Move binutils/ar into a directory on your PATH. After doing this, you can run make as usual to build the complete binutils distribution. You do not need the ranlib program in order to build the distribution. Porting ======= Binutils-2.7 supports many different architectures, but there are many more not supported, including some that were supported by earlier versions. We are hoping for volunteers to improve this situation. The major effort in porting binutils to a new host and/or target architecture involves the BFD library. There is some documentation in ../bfd/doc. The file ../gdb/doc/gdbint.texinfo (distributed with gdb-4.x) may also be of help. If your system uses some variant of old-style a.out-format, you can start with a copy of bfd/newsos3.c, and edit it to fit. (You may also need to tweak bfd/aout-target.h.) Alternatively, you could use the host-aout.c target. This is a special kludge that only works for native (non-cross) configurations. Reporting bugs ============== If you can't track down a bug and send suggestions/patches for fixes, you should probably *not* be using this release. We have little time to spend tracking down whatever random bugs you may run into (except for configurations that Cygnus supports for its customers). The general place to send bug reports or patches is to bug-gnu-utils@ai.mit.edu; you can also send them directly to raeburn@cygnus.com or ian@cygnus.com.
