Binutils

Binutils

[John Karcz]

Please excuse me if the answer to this is obvious,
but I haven't been able to figure it out from info
pages, install files, etc.

From my limited abilty to read make/configure files,
it seems that it's possible to put a directory for
Binutils under the, say, egcs-1.0.1 source directory,
and have configure also configure ar, ld, etc, and use
them in building targets.  My question is this:  What
should the directory tree look like?  Should I just
put the binutils-2.8.1.0.19 under the root egcs directory,
and rename it binutils?  Or should I somehow redistribute 
the various files and directories from binutils-2.8.1.0.19/
into the egcs root directory?

I hope the question was clear... Thanks for the help!
John

Yes.

Second option.

Basically, you'd want to take the "binutils", "bfd", "ld", "opcodes",
"gas", "gprof",  put them in your egcs source tree.  ie


egcs source tree
  gcc
  libio
  libstdc++
  gas
  binutils
  bfd
  ld
  opcodes
  gprof


Basically, anything you find in binutils that is not in egcs you can
put in the egcs toplevel directory.

Note this also applies to gdb and other utilities.

Your question would be better asked on the binutils mailing list:

Talk to whoever packaged the NIST CD to see what they mean.

Details about binutils is here:

Hi,

I downloaded gcc. I understand it is freeware.  I am working with the
NIST CD.  I was told that I must download binutils for gcc to work.
However, when I went to download binutils, all i got was a file
listing.  Any ideas?

Thanks.

2.11.1 was recalled due to packaging problems.

I needed to check several mirrors to find an uptodate one.

No need to apologize.  In fact there *was* a 2.11.1 release, briefly, but 
a mistake in the packaging caused several important files to be omitted from 
the distribution.

Oops.  Sorry for the misinformation.  Looking on the mirrors, I see only
2.11 (and now 2.11.2), so I had assumed the next release would be 2.11.1.

Binutils 2.11.1 is yesterday's news.  2.11.2, which should be on the mirrors 
soon, is the one you want.

That depends on your target.  See http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html
for any notes specific to your installation.

Binutils 2.11.1 will soon be released, and should work for most supported
targets.

Re: Binutils

[Paolo Carlini]

Hi,

My personal advice would be to wait a few hours and grab the latest
stable release, that is 2.11.1:

    http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2001-06/msg00395.html

However, depending on the details of your system (processor, OS) 2.11 or
even 2.10.1 could be ok too...

   Hello All

    I couldn't find a mailing list for binutils (2.9.1) so I thought
    that this list might be the closest thing to it. 
   
    I can build binutils without any problems but what I can't
    do is build them statically. I have tried
    env LDFLAGS=-static ./configure which sometimes works on other packages
    or exporting LDFLAGS=-static to the environment and even manually
    editing the Makefiles resulting from configure. Does anyone know
    how to get them to compile statically?

If you had read the notes that came with the distribution, you would have
found out ./configure --disable-shared --enable-static would have done the
trick.
