I recently had to build gcc 4.6.2 on CentOS 5.5 and found it to be quite painful so I put together this script to do all of the work: http:\/\/projects.joelinoff.com\/gcc-4.6.2\/bld.sh.txt<\/a>. I am releasing it in text mode so that you can cut-n-paste it from the web page.<\/p>\n

The shell version is also available: http:\/\/projects.joelinoff.com\/gcc-4.6.2\/bld.sh<\/a> if you want to download it directly using something like wget.

Disk Space Usage<\/h2>\n

Beware that building gcc-4.6.2 and boost-1.48 requires almost 4 GB of disk space. Here is the breakdown:<\/p>\n

[crayon lang=”bash” toolbar=”always” title=”Disk Space Used”]
\n% du -s -h gcc-4.6.2\/*
\n147M gcc-4.6.2\/archives
\n572M gcc-4.6.2\/rtf
\n3.2G gcc-4.6.2\/src
\n% du -s -h gcc-4.6.2\/src\/*
\n602M gcc-4.6.2\/src\/boost_1_48_0
\n25M gcc-4.6.2\/src\/cloog-0.17.0
\n2.1G gcc-4.6.2\/src\/gcc-4.6.2
\n22M gcc-4.6.2\/src\/gmp-5.0.3
\n30M gcc-4.6.2\/src\/libiconv-1.14
\n133K gcc-4.6.2\/src\/LOCAL-TEST
\n4.5M gcc-4.6.2\/src\/mpc-0.9
\n14M gcc-4.6.2\/src\/mpfr-3.1.0
\n481M gcc-4.6.2\/src\/ppl-0.11.2
\n[\/crayon]<\/p>\n

After the build is complete you can delete the archives and src directory trees to reclaim about 3.3GB of disk space.<\/p>\n

Using bld.sh<\/h2>\n

Here is how you might use build script described above to install gcc-4.6.2 and boost-1.48 on your system.<\/p>\n

[crayon lang=”bash” toolbar=”always” title=”Build gcc-4.6.2 and boost-1.48″]
\n#!\/bin\/bash
\numask 0
\nmkdir -p \/shared\/tools\/gcc\/gcc-4.6.2
\ncd \/shared\/tools\/gcc\/gcc-4.6.2
\nwget http:\/\/projects.joelinoff.com\/gcc-4.6.2\/bld.sh
\nchmod a+x bld.sh
\n.\/bld.sh 2>&1 | tee bld.log
\n[\/crayon]<\/p>\n

Simple Test Program: x.cc<\/h2>\n

If you want, you can create a simple program like this:<\/p>\n

[crayon lang=”c++” toolbar=”always” title=”Simple Test Program – x.cc”]
\n#include
\n#include
\nusing namespace std;
\nusing namespace boost;
\nint main()
\n{
\n string s1(” hello world! “);
\n cout << \"value : '\" << s1 << \"'\" <Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n

This script has been tested on CentOS 5.5 (x86_64). <\/p>\n

I am in the process of testing it on Ubuntu 11.10 (x86_64). <\/p>\n

UPDATE #1
The Ubuntu 11.10 build failed during the stage1 compilation of gcc because it could not find bits\/predefs.h. That file is available under \/usr\/include\/x86_64-linux-gnu so I expect that it would fairly easy to fix this by adding -I\/usr\/include\/x86_64-linux-gnu to the command line using CPPFLAGS. I will try that and post an update.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Note that I decided to use the latest version CLooG (0.17.0) so I had to put in a small hack to fix the gcc\/g++ source code. Specifically I had to change LANGUAGE_C to CLOOG_LANGUAGE_C in the <gcc-4.6.2-source>\/gcc\/graphite-clast-to-gimple.c to track the same change in CLooG. This hack is done automatically by the script. I also had to turn off version checking because it specifically requires 0.16.0.<\/p>\n

Please report problems or suggestions via the comments section.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
