Note: It's worth noting that the Binutils testsuite we run in this chapter is considered not as critical as the one we run in Chapter 6.
First create a separate build directory again:
mkdir ../binutils-build cd ../binutils-build |
Now prepare Binutils to be compiled:
../binutils-2.14/configure --prefix=/tools \
--enable-shared --with-lib-path=/tools/lib |
Before starting to build Binutils, remember to unset any environment variables that override the default optimization flags.
Compile the package:
make |
Test the results (nothing should fail here):
make check |
And install the package:
make install |
Now prepare Binutils for the re-adjusting of the toolchain in the next chapter:
make -C ld clean make -C ld LIB_PATH=/usr/lib:/lib |
| Caution |
Do not yet remove the Binutils source and build directories. We'll need these directories again in the next chapter in the state they are in now. |
