How to build gcc-2.95.3 for Haiku: cd into the buildtools/legacy folder declare the current gcc-version-date like this: export GCCDATE=100818 (just use the current date instead of '100818', ie. 'yymmdd') If your GCC version includes new features, make sure you also alter the version in gcc/gcc/version.c. compile binutils: mkdir binutils-obj cd binutils-obj LC_ALL=POSIX CFLAGS="-O2" CXXFLAGS="-O2" ../binutils/configure \ --prefix=/boot/common/develop/tools/gcc-2.95.3-${GCCDATE} \ --disable-nls --enable-shared=yes LC_ALL=POSIX make cd .. compile gcc: mkdir gcc-obj cd gcc-obj LC_ALL=POSIX CFLAGS="-O2" CXXFLAGS="-O2" ../gcc/configure \ --prefix=/boot/common/develop/tools/gcc-2.95.3-${GCCDATE} \ --disable-nls --enable-shared=yes --enable-languages=c,c++ LC_ALL=POSIX make bootstrap # the above will fail when compiling builtinbuf.cc, but we can ignore that # since it's trying to build libstdc++.so, which haiku provides anyway cd .. Ok, now everything is compiled and ready, waiting to be packaged: mkdir /boot/develop/abi/x86/gcc2/tools/gcc-2.95.3-haiku-${GCCDATE} cd binutils-obj make install cd .. cd gcc-obj make install cd .. ln -sfn gcc-2.95.3-haiku-${GCCDATE} /boot/develop/abi/x86/gcc2/tools/current To build the binutils HTML documentation (needed by the GCC2 package build script): cd binutils-obj make install-html cd ..
