+INSTALL - compiling and installing GNU LilyPond
+***********************************************
- INSTALL - compiling and installing GNU LilyPond
+ This document describes how to build LilyPond on Unix platforms. It
+is also known to run and compile on Windows NT/95/98 as well. More
+information on this topic can be found at the LilyPond on Windows page
+(http://www.lilypond.org/gnu-windows/).
- HWN & JCN
+Downloading
+===========
+ Even numbered versions are `stable'. The webpages for the stable
+version (1.2) reside on the GNU servers
+(http://www.gnu.org/software/lilypond). Big enhancements go into the
+latest odd numbered version (1.3), whose webpages are on the lilypond
+site (http://www.lilypond.org/).

+ If you want to compile LilyPond from source, download here:
+ * Download development releases from
+ `ftp://ftp.cs.uu.nl/pub/GNU/LilyPond/' by FTP and
+ `http://ftp.cs.uu.nl/pub/GNU/LilyPond/', by HTTP.
+ * `ftp://sca.uwaterloo.ca/pub/' by FTP (Canadian mirror)
-1: ABSTRACT
+ * at `lilypond.org' `ftp://ftp.lilypond.org/pub/LilyPond/' by FTP and
+ `http://www.lilypond.org/ftp/' by HTTP.
+ Of course, if your platform supports LilyPond, such as Debian
+GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD or NetBSD, you're encouraged to use the
+native build from source drill.
-You do something which looks remotely like
+ For Red Hat Linux and SuSE Linux, `.spec' files are included in the
+tarball; see instructions below.
+Precompiled binaries
+--------------------
+ If you want to track bleeding edge development, try:
+ * Debian GNU/Linux
+ (ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/lilypond/) usually has
+ the latest binaries for the most useful stable and development
+ versions, while
+ * Mandrake Cooker
+ (http://rpmfind.net/linux/mandrake/cooker/contrib/RPMS/) also
+ provides fairly recent versions.
- configure # Check out the buildscripts/set-lily.sh script
- make
- make install
+ Binaries are made available for other popular platforms, but as we
+need to compile them ourselves, they are not updated for every version
+released.
+ * Red Hat i386
+ (ftp://ftp.cs.uu.nl/pub/GNU/LilyPond/binaries/RedHat/RPMS/)
+ * SuSE (ftp://ftp.lilypond.org/pub/LilyPond/binaries/SuSE)
+ * LinuxPPC (ftp://ftp.lilypond.org/pub/LilyPond/binaries/linuxppc/)
+ * Windows (http://www.lilypond.org/gnu-windows/)
-The detailed instructions follow here. The build-
-scripts/set-lily.sh script sets some environment variables
-and symlinks, which comes in handly when you have to compile
-LilyPond very often. It is aimed at people who run (or
-debug) LilyPond without installing.
+Upgrading
+---------
+ There are two options for upgrading sources.
-2: PREREQUISITES
+ * if you have an unpacked source tree of a previous version, you may
+ the patches.
+ _If you upgrade by patching do remember to rerun autoconf after
+ applying the patch_.
-For compilation you need:
+ * if you have the `.tar.gz' file of a previous release, you can use
+ xdelta (ftp://ftp.xcf.berkeley.edu/pub/xdelta/). This is much
+ safer than using patches, and is the recommended way.
+ The following command produces `lilypond-1.4.3.tar.gz' from
+ `lilypond-1.4.2.tar.gz' identical (up to compression dates) to the
+ .3 on the FTP site.
+ xdelta patch lilypond-1.4.2-1.4.3.xd lilypond-1.4.2.tar.gz
-o A GNU system: GNU LilyPond is known to run on these GNU
- systems: Linux (PPC, intel), FreeBSD, AIX, NeXTStep,
- IRIX, Digital Unix and Solaris.
+Requirements
+============
+Compilation
+-----------
-o Lots of disk space: LilyPond takes between 50 and 100
- mb to compile if you use debugging information. If you
- are short on disk-space run configure with --disable-
- debugging.
+ You need the following packages to compile Lilypond.
- Although we recommend to use Unix, LilyPond is known to
- run on Windows NT/95/98 as well. See Section 11.
+ * A reasonably new version of the GNU C++ compiler: EGCS 1.1, GCC
+ 2.95.2 or newer. Check out the gcc site
+ (ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/).
+ * Python (version 1.5 or newer). Check out the python website
+ (http://www.python.org).
-o GNU C++ version 2.7 or newer (2.8 and egcs are also
- fine).
+ * GUILE (version 1.4 or newer). Check out the GUILE webpage
+ (http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/guile.html). Version 1.4 is
+ recommended for better performance.
-o Python 1.5 (Strictly speaking, you shouldn't need
- Python for compiling and installing, but you'll need it
- to regenerate the font tables, e.g.).
+ * GNU Make. Check out the GNU make FTP directory
+ (ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/).
+ * Flex (version 2.5.4a or newer). Check out the Flex webpage
+ (http://www.gnu.org/software/flex/).
-o GUILE 1.3 (no, GUILE 1.2 won't work)
+ * Bison (version 1.25 or newer). Check out the bison webpage
+ (http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/)
+ * TeX.
-3: RUNNING
+ TeX is used as an output backend.
+ Also, TeX's libkpathsea is used to find the fonts (`.mf', `.afm',
+ `.tfm'). Make sure you have tetex 1.0 or newer (1.0.6 is known to
+ work). You may need to install a tetex-devel or tetex-dev package
+ too.
-GNU LilyPond does use a lot of resources. For operation you
-need the following:
+ * Texinfo (version 4.0 or newer). The documentation of lily is
+ written in texinfo. Check out the texinfo FTP directory
+ (ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/).
+ * The geometry package for LaTeX is needed to use ly2dvi. It is
+ available at the FTP directory for `geometry'
+ (ftp://ftp.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/geometry).
+ This package is normally included with the TeX distribution.
-o TeX
+ * kpathsea, a library for searching (TeX) files. `kpathsea' is
+ usually included with your installation of TeX. You may need to
+ install a tetex-devel or tetex-dev package too.
-o A PostScript printer and/or viewer (such as
- Ghostscript) is strongly recommended. Xdvi will show
- all embedded PostScript too if you have Ghostscript
- installed.
+ In the very unlikely case that kpathsea is not available for your
+ platform (ie, you're not running GNU/Linux, Windows, or any recent
+ UNIX), you can compile LilyPond without kpathsea support. In that
+ case, you'll probably have to indicate where TeX's tfm files live.
+ Invoke configure something like:
-For running LilyPond successfully you have to help TeX and
-MetaFont find various files. The recommended way of doing
-so is adjusting the environment variables in the start-up
-scripts of your shell. An example is given here for the
-Bourne shell:
+ ./configure --without-kpathsea --enable-tfm-path=/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/cm/:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/ams/symbols
+ * pktrace 1.0 or newer, [OPTIONAL], needed for generating PostScript
+ Type1 fonts. Get it from `http://www.cs.uu.nl/~hanwen/pktrace/'.
+ You will need to install some additional packages to get pktrace
+ to work.
+Running requirements
+--------------------
- export MFINPUTS="/usr/local/share/lilypond/mf:"
- export TEXINPUTS="/usr/local/share/lilypond/tex:"
+ GNU LilyPond does use a lot of resources. For operation you need the
+following software
+ * TeX.
+ * Xdvi and Ghostscript
+ * GUILE 1.3.4, or newer. Check out the GUILE webpage
+ (http://www.gnu.org/software/guile.html)
-The empty path component represents and MetaFont's default
-search paths. Scripts with the proper paths for the bourne
-and C-shell respectively are generated in build-
-scripts/out/lilypond-profile and buildscripts/out/lilypond-
-login during compilation.
+ For running LilyPond successfully you have to help TeX and MetaFont
+find various files. The recommended way of doing so is adjusting the
+environment variables in the start-up scripts of your shell. Appropriate
+Csh and bourne sh scripts are left in
+`buildscripts/out/lilypond-profile' and
+`buildscripts/out/lilypond-login' after compilation.
+ LilyPond is a big and slow program. A fast CPU and plenty of RAM is
+recommended for comfortable use.
-4: RECOMMENDED
+Website requirements
+--------------------
+ The documentation comes in the form of a website. You can view this
+website on the internet, but you can also build it locally. This process
+requires a successful compile of lilypond. The website is built by
+issuing
-Although not strictly necessary, these are recommended to
-have.
+ make web-doc
+ Building the website requires some additional tools:
-o GNU make. Check out ftp://ftp.gnu.org or any mirror of
- this site.
+ * xpmtoppm (from the netpbm package: the Portable Bitmap Utilities).
+ The original is at the netpbm FTP site
+ (ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/utilities/netpbm-1mar1994.p1.tar.gz)
+ * pnmtopng. The original is at in the pnmtopng FTP site
+ (ftp://swrinde.nde.swri.edu/pub/png/applications/pnmtopng-2.37.2.tar.gz).
-o Flex (version 2.5.4 or newer). Check out
- ftp://ftp.gnu.org or any mirror of this site.
+ * texinfo (a development release) The documentation will build with
+ texinfo-4.0, but if you want split html pages, you're best off
+ using the lates pretest version from texinfo-4.0b
+ (ftp://texinfo.org/texinfo/pretests/texinfo-4.0b.tar.gz) or
+ texinfo-4.0b (ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo-4.0b.tar.gz)
-o Bison (version 1.25 or newer). Check out
- ftp://ftp.gnu.org or any mirror of this site.
+Building LilyPond
+==================
+ to install GNU LilyPond, type:
+ gunzip -c lilypond-x.y.z | tar xf -
+ cd lilypond-x.y.z
+ ./configure # run with --help to see appropriate options
+ make
+ make install
+ sh buildscripts/clean-fonts.sh
-o GUILE (version 1.2) Check out http://www.gnu.org/pro-
- grams/guile.html
+ If you are doing an upgrade, you should remove all `feta' `.pk' and
+`.tfm' files. A script has been provided to do the work for you, see
+`buildscripts/clean-fonts.sh'.
+ If you are not root, you should choose a `--prefix' argument that
+points into your home directory, eg.
-o Python (version 1.5 or newer). Check out
- ftp://ftp.python.org or ftp://ftp.cwi.nl/pub/python.
+ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
+ In this case, you have to insert the contents of
+`buildscripts/out/lilypond-login' or
+`buildscripts/out/lilypond-profile' into your start up scripts by hand.
-o Yodl. All documentation will be in Yodl. (1.30.17)
- ftp://pcnov095.win.tue.nl/pub/yodl
- http://www.cs.uu.nl/~hanwen/yodl
+Configuring for multiple platforms
+----------------------------------
-o Texinfo. (version 3.12 or newer)
+ If you want to build multiple versions of LilyPond with different
+configuration settings, you can use the `--enable-config=CONF' option
+of configure. You should use `make conf=CONF' to generate the output
+in `out-CONF'. Example: suppose I want to build with and without
+profiling. Then I'd use the following for the normal build,
-
-o GNU find Check out ftp://ftp.gnu.org or any mirror of
- this site.
-
-
-o The geometry package for LaTeX is needed to use ly2dvi.
- Available at ftp://ftp.ctan.org/tex-
- archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/geometry or at
- mirror site ftp://ftp.dante.de
-
-
-o A fast computer (a full page of music typically takes 1
- minute on my 486/133, using the --enable-checking com-
- pile. It's lot slower than most MusiXTeX preprocessors)
-
-
-5: WEBSITE
-
-
-If you want to auto-generate Lily's website, you'll need
-some additional conversion tools.
-
-
-o xpmtoppm (from the Portable Bitmap Utilities) (For Red-
- Hat Linux users: it is included within the package
- libgr-progs).
-
-o Bib2html http://pertsserver.cs.uiuc.edu/~hull/bib2html.
- Which, in turn depends on man2html for proper installa-
- tion. man2html can be had from http://askdon-
- ald.ask.uni-karlsruhe.de/hppd/hpux/Network-
- ing/WWW/Man2html-1.05.
-
- TeTeX users should not forget to rerun texhash.
-
-Building the website requires pnmtopng. The version of pnm-
-topng that is distributed with RedHat 5.1 contains a bug
-(pnmtopng is dynamically linked to the wrong version of
-libpng). Recompile it from source, and make sure that the
-pnmtopng binary is linked statically to the libpng that is
-
-
-included in libgr.
-
-
-
-
-
- tar xzf libgr-2.0.13.tar.gz
- make
- cd png
- rm libpng.so*
- make pnmtopng
-
-
-
-
-
-You can then install the new pnmtopng into /usr/local/bin/
-
-
-6: CONFIGURING and COMPILING
-
-
-to install GNU LilyPond, simply type:
-
-
-
-
-
- configure
- make
- make install
-
-
-
-
-
-This will install a number of files, something close to:
-
-
-
-
-
- /usr/local/man/man1/mi2mu.1
- /usr/local/man/man1/convert-mudela.1
- /usr/local/man/man1/mudela-book.1
- /usr/local/man/man1/lilypond.1
- /usr/local/bin/lilypond
- /usr/local/bin/mi2mu
- /usr/local/share/lilypond/*
- /usr/local/share/locale/{it,nl}/LC_MESSAGES/lilypond.mo
-
-
-The above assumes that you are root and have the GNU devel-
-opment tools, and your make is GNU make. If this is not the
-case, you can adjust your environment variables to your
-taste:
-
-
-
-
-
-
- export CPPFLAGS="-I /home/me/my_include -DWEIRD_FOOBAR"
- configure
-
-
-
-
-
-CPPFLAGS are the preprocessor flags.
-
-The configure script is Cygnus configure, and it will accept
---help. If you are not root, you will probably have to make
-it with a different --prefix option. Our favourite location
-is
-
-
-
-
-
-
- configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
-
-
-
-
-
-In this case, you will have to set up MFINPUTS, and TEXIN-
-PUTS accordingly.
-
-Since GNU LilyPond currently is beta, you are advised to
-also use
-
-
-
-
-
-
- --enable-debugging
- --enable-checking
-
-
-Options to configure include:
-
-
---enable-guile
- Link in GUILE (experimental)
-
---enable-printing
- Enable debugging print routines (lilypond -D option)
-
---enable-optimise
- Set maximum optimisation: compile with -O2. This can
- be unreliable on some compiler/platform combinations
- (eg, DEC Alpha and PPC)
-
---enable-profiling
- Compile with support for profiling.
-
---enable-config
- Output to a different configuration file. Needed for
- multi-platform builds
-
-All options are documented in the configure help The option
---enable-optimise is recommended for Real Life usage.
-
-If you do
-
-
-
-
-
-
- make all
-
-
-
-
-
-everything will be compiled, but nothing will be installed.
-The resulting binaries can be found in the subdirectories
-out/ (which contain all files generated during compilation).
-
-
-7: CONFIGURING FOR MULTIPLE PLATFORMS
-
-
-If you want to compile LilyPond with different configuration
-settings, then, you can use the --enable-config option.
-Example: suppose I want to build with and without profil-
-ing. Then I'd use the following for the normal build,
-
-
- configure --prefix=~ --disable-optimise --enable-checking
+ ./configure --prefix=~ --enable-checking
make
make install
+ and for the profiling version, I specify a different configuration.
+ ./configure --prefix=~ --enable-profiling --enable-config=prof --disable-checking
+ make conf=prof
+ make conf=prof install
+Emacs mode
+==========
-and for the profiling version, I specify a different config-
-uration.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- configure --prefix=~ --enable-profiling --enable-config=optprof --enable-optimise --disable-checking
- make config=optprof
- make config=optprof install
-
+ An Emacs mode for entering music and running LilyPond is included
+with the source archive as `lilypond-mode.el' and
+`lilypond-font-lock.el'. You should install these files somewhere in
+your LOAD-PATH. If you have installed a precompiled LilyPond package,
+these files can be found in `/usr/share/doc/lilypond-x.y.z/'.
+ Add this to your `~/.emacs' or `~/.emacs.el', or install this file
+in Emacs' `site-start.d':
+ ;;; lilypond-init.el --- Startup code for LilyPond mode
+
+ (load-library "lilypond-mode.el")
+ (setq auto-mode-alist
+ (cons '("\\.ly$" . LilyPond-mode) auto-mode-alist))
+ (add-hook 'LilyPond-mode-hook (lambda () (turn-on-font-lock)))
+ If you have the latest LilyPond-1.4.x Debian package, LilyPond-mode
+is automatically loaded, you not even need to modify your `~/.emacs'
+file.
+Compiling for distributions
+===========================
+Red Hat Linux
+-------------
-8: INSTALLING
+ Red Hat 7.0 i386 RPMS are available from
+`ftp://ftp.cs.uu.nl/pub/GNU/LilyPond/binaries/'.
+ You can also compile them yourself. A spec file is in
+`make/out/lilypond.redhat.spec'. This file is distributed along with
+the sources. You can make the rpm by issuing
-If you have done a successful make, then a simple
+ tar xfz lilypond-x.y.z.tar.gz
+ rpm -bb lilypond-x.y.z/make/out/lilypond.redhat.spec
+ rpm -i /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/lilypond-x.y.z
+ For running on a Red Hat system you need these packages: guile,
+tetex, tetex-latex, tetex-dvips, libstdc++, python, ghostscript.
+ For compilation on a Red Hat system you need these packages, in
+addition to the those needed for running: glibc-devel, gcc-c++,
+libstdc++-devel, guile-devel, flex, bison, texinfo, groff, pktrace.
+LinuxPPC
+--------
+ Some LinuxPPC RPMS should available from
+`ftp://ftp.cs.uu.nl/pub/GNU/LilyPond/binaries/'.
+ A LinuxPPC RPM can be made using the `lilypond.redhat.spec' file.
- make install
+SuSE
+----
+ Some SUSE RPMS should available from
+`ftp://ftp.lilypond.org/pub/LilyPond/binaries/SuSE'.
+ You can also compile a RPM for SUSE yourself. A spec file is in
+`make/out/lilypond.suse.spec', see the instructions for building the
+Red Hat RPM.
+ You must have the following packages: guile tcsh tetex te_latex
+te_kpath te_mpost libpng python gpp libgpp gettext autoconf netpbm
+libnetpb gs_serv gs_lib gs_fonts guile
+Slackware
+---------
-should do the trick.
+ No precompiled packages for Slackware are available.
-If you are doing an upgrade, please remember to remove obso-
-lete .pk and .tfm files of the fonts. A script has been
-provided to do the work for you, see bin/clean-fonts.sh.
+ Problems have been reported with Slackware 7.0; apparently, it ships
+with a faulty compiler. Do not compile LilyPond with -O2 on this
+platform.
+Mandrake
+--------
-CAVEATS
+ Some binaries are available at rpmfind.net. Refer to
+`http://rpmfind.net/linux/mandrake/cooker/contrib/RPMS/'.
+ You can also compile a RPM for Mandrake yourself. A spec file is in
+`make/out/lilypond.mandrake.spec', see the instructions for building
+the Red Hat RPM.
+Debian GNU/Linux
+----------------
-o The -O2 option to gcc triggers a gcc bug on DEC Alpha
- in dstream.cc. You should turn off this flag for this
+ A Debian package is also available. You may install it easily by
+running `apt-get' as root:
+ apt-get install lilypond lilypond-doc
- file.
+ You can also compile the .deb for Debian yourself, do:
+ apt-get -b source lilypond
-EXAMPLE
+ If you're real impatient, you may even do:
+ cd lilypond-x.y.z # a previous version
+ uscan # download and build latest directly from upstream
-This is what I type in my xterm:
+ Debian's TeX installation is a bit short on memory, you may want to
+increase it like this:

+ lilypond1.3 Debian package is now obsolete.
+ Please contact Anthony Fok <lilypond@packages.debian.org> for more
+information.

+ The build scripts are in the subdirectory `debian/'; you can make
+the .deb by doing, for example:
+ $ su - root
+ # dpkg --purge lilypond lilypond1.3
+ # exit
+ $ tar xzf lilypond-1.4.3.tar.gz
+ $ cd lilypond-1.4.3
+ $ dch -p -v 1.4.3-0.local.1 "Local build."
+ $ debuild -B
+ $ su - root
+ # dpkg -i ../lilypond_1.4.3*.deb
+ # exit
+ $
+ Use command `debuild' instead of `debuild -B' if you have a very
+fast machine and want to build the HTML, PS and DVI documentation too.
+ For compilation on a Debian GNU/Linux system you need these packages,
+in addition to the those needed for running:
+ * g++, cpp, libc6-dev, libstdc++<YOUR-LIBSTDC++-VERSION-HERE>-dev
-This is what the output looks like over here:
+ * libguile<YOUR-LIBGUILE-VERSION-HERE>-dev
+ * make, m4, flex, bison
+ * gettext
+ * groff, texinfo

-9: REDHAT LINUX
+MacOS X
+-------
+ LilyPond has been built on Darwin, to be precise, on:
+ Darwin buoux.aspiratie.nl 5.3 Darwin Kernel Version 5.3: Thu Jan 24
+ 22:06:02 PST 2002; root:xnu/xnu-201.19.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc
-RedHat Linux users can compile an RPM. A spec file is in
-make/out/lilypond.spec. You should install a gif file
-called lelie_icon.gif along with the sources. You can gen-
-erate this gif file by typing
+ using:
+ Apple Computer, Inc. version gcc-932.1, based on gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
+ To make sure you have all packages needed to build LilyPond
+installed, run as root:
+ apt-get install bash python guile debianutils flex bison texinfo \
+ ghostscript6 netpbm m4 gettext
+ and:
+ fink install tetex
- make gifs
+ For more information about `apt-get' and `fink', see
+fink.sourceforge.net (http://fink.sf.net).
+ Then, configure, patch, make and install LilyPond using these
+commands:
+ CC="cc -I/sw/include" CXX="c++ -I/sw/include" LDFLAGS="-L/sw/lib" \
+ ./configure --prefix=/sw
+ make -C lily out/parser.hh out/parser.cc out/config.h
+ patch -p0 < darwin.patch
+ make -C lily out/parser.o
+ make DEPENDENCIES_OUTPUT=/dev/null all
+ make install
+ For installing, you must be root, of course.

+ Bugs that are not fault of LilyPond are documented here.
+FLex-2.5.4a and gcc-3.0
+-----------------------
+ Flex 2.5.4a does not produce g++-3.0 compliant C++ code. To compile
+LilyPond with gcc-3.0 you may do:
+ CC=gcc-3.0 CXX=g++-3.0 ./configure --enable-config=gcc-3.0
+ make conf=gcc-3.0 -C lily out-gcc-3.0/lexer.cc
+ patch -p1 < lexer-gcc-3.0.patch
+ make conf=gcc-3.0 -C lily
+ Note that this is fixed in Debian/unstable for flex >= 2.5.4a-13.
+Linux-2.4.0, Guile-1.4 -with-threads
+------------------------------------
- make rpm
+ There's a bug in certain kernels around version 2.4.0, that is
+triggered when using Guile 1.4 compiled with pthreads. You'll see
+random segmentation fault crashes of LilyPond. Upgrade to a newer
+version of Linux. If you can't do that, you may try to recompiling
+Guile without threads (YMMV):
+ guile-1.4$ ./configure --without-threads; make all install
+NetBSD
+------
+ * The flex precompiled in NetBSD-1.4.2 is broken. Download
+ flex-2.5.4a, build, install.
+ * The configuration of Gcc (egcs-2.91.60 19981201 (egcs-1.1.1
+ release)) does not include `/usr/pkg' paths. Configure using:
+ CFLAGS='-I /usr/pkg/include' LDFLAGS='-L/usr/pkg/lib' ./configure
-10: DEBIAN GNU/LINUX
+Solaris:
+--------
-A Debian package is also available; contact Anthony Fok
-foka@debian.org <foka@debian.org>. The build scripts are in
-the subdirectory debian/
+ * Sparc64/Solaris 2.6, GNU make-3.77
+ GNU make-3.77 is buggy on this platform, upgrade to 3.78.1 or
+ newer.
-11: WINDOWS NT/95
+ * Sparc64/Solaris 2.6, ld
+ Not yet resolved.
-Separate instructions on building for W32 are avaible in the
-file README-W32.yo.
+AIX
+---
+ * AIX 4.3 ld
-12: AUTHORS
+ The following is from the gcc install/SPECIFIC file.
+ Some versions of the AIX binder (linker) can fail with a
+ relocation overflow severe error when the -bbigtoc option
+ is used to link GCC-produced object files into an
+ executable that overflows the TOC. A fix for APAR IX75823
+ (OVERFLOW DURING LINK WHEN USING GCC AND -BBIGTOC) is
+ available from IBM Customer Support and from its
+ 27service.boulder.ibm.com website as PTF U455193.
+ Binutils does not support AIX 4.3 (at least through release
+ 2.9). GNU as and GNU ld will not work properly and one
+ should not configure GCC to use those GNU utilities. Use
+ the native AIX tools which do interoperate with GCC.
-Han-Wen Nienhuys <hanwen@cs.uu.nl>
+ add -Wl,-bbigtoc to USER_LDFLAGS, ie:
+ LDFLAGS='-Wl,-bbigtoc' ./configure
-Jan Nieuwenhuizen <janneke@gnu.org>
-Have fun!
