It has a set of unique technical features that make it highly effective for use in large, complex and safety-critical projects. The compiler and associated tools on this page are known as the GNAT technology, developed by the Adacore company, using the GCC backend. Since parts of the Ada compiler are written in Ada, there is a circular dependency on an Ada compiler. The instructions below first install a binary compiler. &lfs77_checked; Using the instructions on this page will have the effect that the C and C++ compiler and libraries will be reinstalled, overwriting the ones on your system. This may lead to some issues. Please read the notes and caution on the page. Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &gcc-md5sum; Download size: &gcc-size; Estimated disk space required: &gcc-ada-buildsize; Estimated build time: &gcc-ada-time; Additional Downloads You will need to install GNAT temporarily to satisfy the circular dependency. You may point your browser to the AdaCore download page, choose your platform and 2014, then select the file to download. Alternatively, direct links to the 64 bit and 32 bit linux versions are given below. GNAT 64 bit binary: GNAT 64 bit MD5 sum: &gnat-64-md5sum; GNAT 64 bit size: &gnat-64-size; GNAT 32 bit binary: GNAT 32 bit MD5 sum: &gnat-32-md5sum; GNAT 32 bit size: &gnat-32-size; GCC Ada Dependencies Recommended , for tests User Notes: Before unpacking and changing into the GCC source directory, first unpack the GNAT tarball, and change to the GNAT directory. Then, install the GNAT binary by running the following command as the root user: make ins-all prefix=/opt/gnat The GNAT compiler can be invoked by executing the gcc binary installed in /opt/gnat/bin. You may now remove the GNAT source directory if desired. Prepare to compile GCC by placing the GNAT version of gcc at the beginning of the PATH variable by using the following commands: PATH_HOLD=$PATH && export PATH=/opt/gnat/bin:$PATH_HOLD Doing so has the drawback that the GCC and Binutils executables are taken from the just installed GNAT package, but the versions of those executables are outdated compared to those installed in LFS. This is not important for the GCC compilers, since they recompile themselves during the bootstrap process. On the other hand, the outdated ld and as tools are used all along. In order to use the LFS tools, issue as the root user: find /opt/gnat -name ld -exec mv -v {} {}.old \; find /opt/gnat -name as -exec mv -v {} {}.old \; Install GCC Ada by running the following commands: sed -i -e 's@/libx32/ld-linux-x32.so.2@/tools/libx32/ld-linux-x32.so.2@g' gcc/config/i386/linux64.h sed -i -e 's@/lib/ld-linux.so.2@/lib32/ld-linux.so.2@g' gcc/config/i386/linux64.h sed -i -e '/MULTILIB_OSDIRNAMES/d' gcc/config/i386/t-linux64 echo "MULTILIB_OSDIRNAMES = m64=../lib m32=../lib32 mx32=../libx32" >> gcc/config/i386/t-linux64 mkdir ../gcc-build && cd ../gcc-build && ../gcc-&gcc-version;/configure \ --prefix=/usr \ --libdir=/usr/lib \ --enable-shared \ --enable-threads=posix \ --enable-__cxa_atexit \ --with-multilib-list=m32,m64,mx32 \ --enable-clocale=gnu \ --with-system-zlib \ --enable-cloog-backend=isl \ --enable-languages=ada && make If you have installed additional packages such as Valgrind and GDB, the GCC part of the testsuite will run more tests than in LFS. Some of those will report FAIL and others XPASS (pass when expected to FAIL). To run the tests, issue: ulimit -s 32768 && make -k check The tests are very long, and the results may be hard to find in the logs, specially if you use parallel jobs with make. You can get a summary of the tests with: ../gcc-&gcc-version;/contrib/test_summary Now, as the root user: make install && mkdir -pv /usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib && mv -v /usr/lib/*gdb.py /usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib && chown -v -R root:root \ /usr/lib/gcc/*linux-gnu/&gcc-version;/include{,-fixed} \ /usr/lib/gcc/*linux-gnu/&gcc-version;/ada{lib,include} You should now remove the GNAT installation and perform other cleanups: rm -rf /opt/gnat && export PATH=$PATH_HOLD && unset PATH_HOLD mkdir ../gcc-build; cd ../gcc-build: The GCC documentation recommends building the package in a dedicated build directory. --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit: These parameters are required to build the C++ libraries to published standards. --enable-clocale=gnu: This parameter is a failsafe for incomplete locale data. --with-multilib-list=m32,m64,mx32: This parameter adds support for multilib compilation in 32-bit, 64-bit, and x32 ABI formats. --with-system-zlib: Uses the system zlib instead of the bundled one. zlib is used for compressing and uncompressing GCC's intermediate language in LTO (Link Time Optimization) object files. --enable-cloog-backend=isl: This parameter enables the CLooG-ISL backend for Graphite Loop Optimizations. --enable-languages=ada: Instructs the build system to build the Ada tools and compiler. It is unavoidable that the C and C++ compilers be built too. ulimit -s 32768: This command prevents several tests from running out of stack space. make -k check: This command runs the test suite without stopping if any errors are encountered. ../gcc-&gcc-version;/contrib/test_summary: This command will produce a summary of the test suite results. You can append | grep -A7 Summ to the command to produce an even more condensed version of the summary. You may also wish to redirect the output to a file for review and comparison later on. chown -v -R root:root /usr/lib/gcc/*linux-gnu/...: If the package is built by a user other than root, the ownership of the installed include and adalib directories (and their contents) will be incorrect. These commands change the ownership to the root user and group.

Short Descriptions gnat is a wrapper that accepts a number of commands and calls the corresponding tool from the list below. gnat gnatbind is used to bind compiled objects. gnatbind gnatchop is useful for renaming files to meet the standard Ada default file naming conventions. gnatchop gnatclean is used to remove files associated with a GNAT project. gnatclean gnatfind is intended for locating definition and/or references to specified entities in a GNAT project. gnatfind gnatkr is used to determine the crunched name for a given file, when crunched to a specified maximum length. gnatkr gnatlink is used to link programs and build an executable file. gnatlink gnatls is the compiled unit browser. gnatls gnatmake is the Ada compiler, which performs compilaton, binding and linking. gnatmake gnatname will list the files associated with a GNAT project. gnatname gnatprep is the GNAT external preprocessor. gnatprep gnatxref is similar to gnatfind, but generates a full report of all cross-references. gnatxref
