This began as an attempt to make a few small changes to src-release but heeding the comments at the top of the file it seemed it might be wise to convert it to a shell script instead which should hopefully be more maintainable. This shell script contains most of the functionality of the Makefile version. It can be run like this: # This will build gdb and compress with bzip2, gzip and xz ./src-release.sh -bgx gdb The functionality that has been removed is building tarballs for insight and gnats, which were broken in the current repository layout and gas+binutils which amounted to basically the same thing as binutils so didn't seem worth keeping. The script always builds a tar file, compression is optional, so no need for specific commands to build tar files rather than compressed tar files. The build of gas releases has been fixed, as has extraction of version numbers which had been broken since the switch to configure.ac files and AC_INIT. I also removed the code for distcleaning the intl sub-directory as it seems like that issue has been fixed. The script is capable of compressing with bzip2, gzip and xz which should cover all formats available on gnu.org. I tested it by producing release tarballs which are substantially identical to the ones produced by the src-release script. ChangeLog: 2014-08-27 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org> * src-release.sh: New file. * src-release: Remove file.
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
