=== Hey, Emacs! This is -*- Text -*- !!! ===
Last update 11 Apr 1996 by Michael I. Bushnell, p/BSG (mib@gnu.ai.mit.edu).
These are instructions for building the Hurd as in cross-development
environment. Unless you are building the Hurd on an already running
Hurd system, you will need these directions to build the Hurd from any
other kind of system. Even if you are using a Mach system (Lites,
say) you will *STILL* need to follow these directions; this is still
cross-compilation.
I:
First you must have GCC and binutils installed. We use GCC 2.7.2 and
recent Cygnus binutils snapshots. You need to configure binutils and
GCC for the i486-gnu target. In order to build the GNU C library for
the Hurd, you will need gawk installed. You should install GCC and
binutils as the instructions for these programs indicate. The Hurd
makefiles depend on having them installed correctly as
cross-development tools. Even if you are building the Hurd on a 486,
even if it's running a different Mach-based OS, you are still cross
compiling. Don't attempt to use tools that have been configured for
something other than i486-gnu.
Install things in /usr/local, as the Makefiles do by default. If you
change $(prefix) when installing the cross-development tools, then
random problems might happen. I cannot stress to highly that you are
much better off doing things in the ordinary default way.
II:
You need space to "install" the compiled Hurd, its libraries, include
files, and binaries that will run on the Hurd. In these instructions,
we will refer to this as the "installation staging area". This will,
more or less, be a suitable image to use as a Hurd root image when you
are finished.
This space needs to be accessible to the machine doing the
cross-compilation, because the libc and include files that go in the
Hurd's root filesystem are also the ones that are needed during
cross-compilation.
We strongly advise that this directory not be put in /usr/local. This
will tend to cause confusion.
If you followed the directions in (I) above, then in
/usr/local/i486-gnu you already have a number of cross-development
tools. (ar, ranlib, ld, as and so forth.) This is the place where
the compiler looks for cross-development stuff. So now make two
symlinks, named /usr/local/i486-gnu/include and
/usr/local/i486-gnu/lib, and point them at foo/include and foo/lib,
where `foo' is the name of you Hurd installation staging area. If you
don't do this, you will lose. Do it now.
III:
You should get MiG from the Utah mach4 distribution, and build it to
cross compile. Set MIG appropriately in Maketools (usually to
"i486-gnu-mig"). Install it as /usr/local/i486-gnu/bin/mig, install
migcom as /usr/local/i486-gnu/lib/migcom. (Note that the last
pathname, because of the symlink you made in step II, is actually
somewhere in the Hurd installation staging area directory. This is
strictly wrong, because the running Hurd won't be able to use that
migcom. Don't worry, just remember when you boot the Hurd that this
one program won't work quite right. We intend to fix this later.)
IV:
MAKE VERY SURE that gcc, for all Hurd work, does not use a gcc include
directory with fixincludes processed files. Your special GCC include
directory should have *only* GCC include files. GCC should do this by
default, but you might want to check in
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i486-gnu/CCVERSION/include to make sure.
V:
Now, make the GNU C library. Please read its own installation
instructions, but here is a brief summary.
Configure the GNU library with a command like:
configure i486-gnu --with-mach=FOO --with-hurd=BAR --prefix=BAZ
FOO should be the top level source directory of your Mach source.
BAR should be the top level Hurd source directory.
BAZ should be the installation staging area you have chosen.
Build and install the library with `make install'.
VI:
Configure the Hurd with a command like:
"CC=gcc -b i486-gnu" configure i486-gnu --prefix=BAZ
BAZ is, again, the name of your installation staging area.
Build and install the Hurd with `make install'.
VII:
Now in your Hurd staging area are the complete binaries for the Hurd
and its programs, and the C library and its associated programs. You
will want binaries for other programs too, of course--for example, you
have no shell yet. In general, you can build most GNU packages
without too much hassle using your cross compilers. In this way you
can build up as much of a binary distribution as you like.
See the file `INSTALL-binary' for instructions on running your new
binaries.
