The information below applies to both native and cross -compilers. - -(Please note that there are two versions of this file; "mpw-README" -is the source form, and "Read Me for MPW" is the distribution form. -"Read Me for MPW" has 8-bit chars such as \Option-d embedded in it.) - -INSTALLING GNU TOOLS - -* System Requirements - -To use these tools, you will need a Mac with a 68020 or better or else -any PowerMac, System 7.1 or later, and MPW 3.3 or 3.4. You will *not* -need any other MPW compiler unless you want to rebuild from sources, -nor even any include files, unless you are building actual Mac -applications. For PowerMac native you will need PPCLink, however; -also the executables are PowerPC-only. - -* Automated Installation - -The simplest way to install GNU tools is to run the Install script. -The script will copy things to where you want to keep them, will build -a UserStartup file with settings corresponding to where things were -copied, and offer to put that UserStartup file in your MPW folder. - -The Install script does not alter anything in the System Folder, and -it does not take any action without confirmation. - -The Install script will be at the top level of the binary -distribution, or at the top level of the object directory if -rebuilding from source. (The sources include a file called -"mpw-install" at the top level, but it is the source to the Install -script and cannot be run directly.) - -* Manual Installation - -If you don't want to run the Install script, you can do installation -manually; this section describes the steps involved. - -The GNU tools can go in any directory that is in your {Commands} list. -We generally put all the tools somewhere like {Boot}Cygnus:latest:bin, -and then add to a UserStartup file: - - set Commands "{Boot}Cygnus:latest:bin:,{Commands}" - -However, the cpp and cc1 programs of GCC are not normally stored here. -Instead, they will be in a "lib" directory that is alongside "bin", -and organized by target and version underneath, with names like - - :lib:gcc-lib::cygnus-: - -If you build and install everything yourself according to the build -instructions below, then you will not have any problems. However, you -may discover that GCC seems unable to find the right cpp and cc1; -usually this will be because directory names have changed. (Even -renaming your hard disk will make this happen.) In such cases, you -have several choices. One is just to add this directory to -{Commands}, but then you will not be able to get any other cpp or cc1, -such as those used by a different target or version. Another way is -to rename your disk and directories to match the prefix used when the -tools were compiled. Finally, you can set the variable -GCC_EXEC_PREFIX to point to the library directory: - - set GCC_EXEC_PREFIX MyDisk:Stuff:lib:gcc-lib: - export GCC_EXEC_PREFIX - -You may also want to edit MPW's HEXA 128 resource. When GCC is built -using a native GCC, it is compiled to use a special stack allocator -function alloca(). While this is very efficient, it means that GCC -will need considerable stack space to run, especially when compiling -large programs with optimization turned on. You give MPW more stack -by editing the HEXA 128 resource of the MPW Shell. A value of "0008 -0000" gives 512K of stack size, which is usually sufficient. - -USING GNU TOOLS - -* Using Native PowerMac GCC - -Using a native PowerMac GCC to produce MPW tools or MacOS applications -is more complicated than just "gC foo.c", although no more complicated -than with other Mac compilers. - -To build a native PowerMac MPW tool, use this sequence, where hello.c -is the usual "hello world" program, and genericcfrg.r is the Rez file -with the code fragment resource: - -gC -I{CIncludes} -fno-builtin -Dpascal= -c -g hello.c -PPCLink hello.o -o hello \Option-d - "{PPCLibraries}"StdCRuntime.o \Option-d - "{SharedLibraries}"InterfaceLib \Option-d - "{SharedLibraries}"StdCLib \Option-d - "{PPCLibraries}"PPCToolLibs.o \Option-d - "{PPCLibraries}"PPCCRuntime.o \Option-d - "{GCCPPCLibraries}"libgcc.xcoff -rez -d APPNAME='"'hello'"' GenericCFRG.r -o hello -setfile -t 'MPST' -c 'MPS ' hello - -The same sequence works to build a MacOS application, but you set the file -type to 'APPL' and don't link in PPCToolLibs.o. For further details on -using MPW to build Mac applications, see the general MPW documentation. - -Recent versions of PPCLink have an option to generate the code -fragment resource and automatically set creator and file type; -here is what GenericCFRG.r should look like if you have an older -PPCLink or are using GNU ld: - -#include "CodeFragmentTypes.r" - -resource 'cfrg' (0) { - { - kPowerPC, - kFullLib, - kNoVersionNum,kNoVersionNum, - 0,0, - kIsApp,kOnDiskFlat,kZeroOffset,kWholeFork, - APPNAME // must be defined on Rez command line with -d option - } -}; - -In general this port of GCC supports the same option syntax and -behavior as its Unix counterpart. It also has similar compilation -rules, so it will run the assembler on .s files and so forth. - -The GCC manual includes full information on the available options. -One option that may be especially useful is "-v", which shows you what -tools and options are being used; unlike most Mac C compilers, GCC -directs assembly and linking in addition to compilation. - -MPW GCC does feature two extensions to the option syntax; '-d macro=name' -works just as '-Dmacro=name' does in Unix, and '-i directory' works the -same as '-Idirectory'. - -MPW GCC supports the usual Pascal-style strings and alignment pragmas. - -To find standard include files you can set the variable GCCIncludes: - - set GCCIncludes MyDisk:MyIncludes: - export GCCIncludes - -GCCIncludes is similar to MPW's CIncludes or CW's MWCIncludes. In -order to use MPW's usual include files, just say: - - set GCCIncludes "{CIncludes}" - export GCCIncludes - -* Using GCC as a Cross-Compiler - -If you have a cross-compiler, and you have all of the correct -target-side crt0 and libraries available, then to compile and link a -file "foo.c", you can say just - - gC foo.c - -The output file will be an MPW binary file named "a.out"; the format -of the contents will depend on which target is in use, so for instance -a MIPS-targeting GCC will produce ECOFF or ELF executables. - -Note that using MPW include files with a cross-compiler is somewhat -dangerous. - -* Using the Assembler and Friends - -The assembler ("as") and linker ("ld") are faithful ports of their -Unix counterparts. Similarly, the binutils "ar", "cplusfilt", "nm", -"objcopy", "objdump", "ranlib", "size", "strings", and "strip" are all -like they are under Unix. (Note that "cplusfilt" is usually called -"c++filt" under Unix.) - -* Using GDB - -There are two flavors of GDB. "gdb" is an MPW tool that works very -much like it does in Unix; put a command into the MPW worksheet and -type the key to send it to GDB. While "gdb" is running, you -cannot do anything else in MPW, although you can switch to other -Mac applications and use them. - -"SiowGDB" is also a Mac application, but it is GDB using the SIOW -package to provide console emulation. Commands are exactly as for the -MPW tool, but since this is its own application, you can switch -between it and MPW. - -BUILDING GNU TOOLS - -This port of the GNU tools uses a configure script similar to -that used for GNU tools under Unix, but rewritten for MPW. As with -Unix configuration, there is an "object" directory that may be -different from the "source" directory. In the example commands below, -we will assume that we are currently in the object directory, and that -the source directory is "{Boot}Cygnus:src:". - -* Requirements for Building - -In addition to the sources, you will need a set of tools that the -configure and build scripts assume to be available. These tools -(and their versions, if relevant) are as follows: - - byacc tool - flex (2.3.7) tool (and Flex.skel file) - forward-include script - MoveIfChange script - mpw-touch script - mpw-true script - NewFolderRecursive script - null-command script - open-brace script - sed (1.13) tool - tr-7to8 script - true script - -The scripts are in the sources, under utils:mpw:. You must arrange to -get the other tools yourself (they are readily available from the -"usual" net sites, and are also on many CDROMS). In addition, there -will usually be a set of these available at ftp.cygnus.com, in pub/mac. - -You may put the build tools in your usual Tools or Scripts -directories, or keep them in a separate directories. We prefer to -make a directory called "buildtools" and we put this in one of our -UserStartup files: - - set Commands "{Boot}Cygnus:buildtools:,{Commands}" - -Flex uses an environment variable FLEX_SKELETON to locate its skeleton -file, so you need to do something like this, preferably in a UserStartup: - - Set FLEX_SKELETON "{Boot}"Cygnus:buildtools:Flex.skel - Export FLEX_SKELETON - -* Configuring - -Before you can build anything, you must configure. You do this by -creating an directory where object files will be stored, setdirectory -to that directory and do a configure command: - - {Boot}Cygnus:src:mpw-configure --target --cc --srcdir {Boot}Cygnus:src: --prefix - -If the source directory is not in your {Commands} list, then you must -supply a full pathname to mpw-configure, since mpw-configure invokes -itself after switching into each subdirectory. Using a relative -pathname, even something like ':mpw-configure', will therefore not work. - - must be a known target. Valid ones include "m68k-apple-macos", -"powerpc-apple-macos", "i386-unknown-go32", "mips-idt-ecoff", and -"sh-hitachi-hms". Not all target types are accepted for all of the -tools yet. - - must be the name of the compiler to use. It defaults to "mpwc". - - (m68k) - mpwc MPW C - sc68k Symantec C - mwc68k Metrowerks C (Codewarrior) - gcc68k GCC - - (powerpc) - ppcc PPCC - mrc Macintosh on RisC (Mister C, aka(?) Frankenstein) - scppc Symantec C - mwcppc Metrowerks C (Codewarrior) - gccppc GCC - -Not all compilers will compile all tools equally well! For m68k Macs, -MPW C has the best record so far (it has problems, but they can be -worked around), while for PowerMacs, CodeWarrior is the only compiler -that has successfully compiled everything into running code. - - is the path that "gcc" will prepend when looking for tools -to execute. GCC_EXEC_PREFIX overrides this value, so you need not -include it if you plan to use GCC_EXEC_PREFIX. - -As an example, here is the configure line that you could use to build -native PowerMac GCC: - -"{Boot}"Cygnus:src:mpw-configure --cc mwcppc --target powerpc-apple-macos --srcdir "{Boot}"Cygnus:src: --prefix "{Boot}"GNUTools: - -* Building - -If you use CodeWarrior, you *must* first set MWCIncludes to -{CIncludes}. This is because you will be building MPW tools, and -their standard I/O works by making references to data that is part of -the MPW Shell, which means that the code must be compiled and linked -with macros that refer to that data, and those macros are in -{CIncludes}, not the default {MWCIncludes}. Without this change, you -will encounter problems compiling libiberty/mpw.c, but tweaking that -file only masks the real problem, and does not fix it. - -The command - - mpw-build - -will build everything. Building will take over an hour on a Quadra 800 -or PowerMac 8100/110, longer if the sources are on a shared volume. - -You may see some warnings; these are mostly likely benign, typically -disagreements about declarations of library and system functions. - -* Installing - -To install the just-built tools, use the command - - mpw-build install - -This part of the installation procedure just copies files to the -location specified at configure time by , and, in some cases, -renames them from temporary internal names to their usual names. This -install process is *not* the same as what the Install script does; -Install can copy tools from the installation location chosen at -configuration time to a user-chosen place, and sets up a UserStartup -file. Note that while the Install script is optional, the install -build action performs some tasks would be very hard to replicate -manually, so you should always do it before using the tools. - -* Known Problems With Using Various Compilers to Build - -Most versions of MPW C have problems with compiling GNU software. - -MPW C 3.2.x has preprocessing bugs that render it incapable of -compiling the BFD library, so it can't be used at all for building BFD. - -MPW C 3.3, 3.3.1, and 3.3.2 will spontaneously claim to have found -errors in the source code, but in fact the code is perfectly fine. If -this happens, just set the working directory back to the top-level -objdir (where the configure command above was performed), and type -"mpw-build all" again. If it goes on through the supposed error, then -you got one of the spurious errors. A full build may require a number -of these restarts. - -MPW C 3.3.3 seems to work OK, at least with the aid of a number of -workarounds that are in the sources (look for #ifdef MPW_C). - -Versions of MPW Make earlier than 4.0d2 have exhibited bizarre behavior, -failure to substitute variables and the like. - -Metrowerks CW6 PPC linker (MWLinkPPC) seems to do bad things with memory -if the "Modern Memory Manager" is turned on (in the Memory control panel), -but works OK if it is turned off. - -Metrowerks CW6 loses bigtime compiling opcodes:ppc-opc.c, which has -some deeply nested macros. (CW7 is OK.) There is a way to patch the -file, by substituting constant values. If you need to do this, -contact shebs@cygnus.com for details. - - is missing from {CIncludes} in the MPW version that comes -with CW7. You can just copy the one in CW7's {MWCIncludes}. - -CW8 and later have changes to headers and such that will require changes -to the source in order to be able to use them to rebuild. - -KNOWN BUGS - -The declarations for memcpy and memcmp in some versions of header files -may conflict with GCC's builtin definition. Either use -fno-builtin -or ignore the warnings. - -This is not a bug, but - watch out for cr/nl translation! For instance, -if config/mpw-mh-mpw is not properly translated because it has been -copied or updated separately, then everything will almost build, but -you will get puzzling error messages from make or the compiler. - -'/' or ' ' embedded in any device, directory, or file name may or may -not work. - -objcopy -O srec foo.o makes random output filenames. - -Mac-x-mips requires -mgas but Unix hosts don't. - -GDB will frequently require a '/' on the front of a device name in order -to recognize it as an absolute rather than a relative pathname. - -GDB doesn't seem to use the printer port correctly, although it tries. - -The cursor doesn't always spin as much as it should. To get elaborate -statistics and warnings about spin rates, add this to UserStartup: - - set MEASURE_SPIN all - export MEASURE_SPIN -- cgit v1.2.3
