<h1 class="settitle">Installing GCC: Final installation</h1>
Now that GCC has been built (and optionally tested), you can install it with
<pre class="example"> cd <var>objdir</var>; make install
</pre>
<p>We strongly recommend to install into a target directory where there is
no previous version of GCC present.
<p>That step completes the installation of GCC; user level binaries can
be found in <code></code><var>prefix</var><code>/bin</code> where <var>prefix</var> is the value you
specified with the <code>--prefix</code> to configure (or <code>/usr/local</code>
by default). (If you specified <code>--bindir</code>, that directory will
be used instead; otherwise, if you specified <code>--exec-prefix</code>,
<code></code><var>exec-prefix</var><code>/bin</code> will be used.) Headers for the C++ and
Java libraries are installed in <code></code><var>prefix</var><code>/include</code>; libraries
in <code></code><var>libdir</var><code></code> (normally <code></code><var>prefix</var><code>/lib</code>); internal
parts of the compiler in <code></code><var>libdir</var><code>/gcc-lib</code>; documentation in
info format in <code></code><var>infodir</var><code></code> (normally <code></code><var>prefix</var><code>/info</code>).
<p>When installing cross-compilers, GCC's executables
are not only installed into <code></code><var>bindir</var><code></code>, that
is, <code></code><var>exec-prefix</var><code>/bin</code>, but additionally into
<code></code><var>exec-prefix</var><code>/</code><var>target-alias</var><code>/bin</code>, if that directory
exists. Typically, such <dfn>tooldirs</dfn> hold target-specific
binutils, including assembler and linker.
<p>Installation into a temporary staging area or into a <code>chroot</code>
jail can be achieved with the command
<pre class="example"> make DESTDIR=<var>path-to-rootdir</var> install
</pre>
<p>where <var>path-to-rootdir</var> is the absolute path of
a directory relative to which all installation paths will be
interpreted. Note that the directory specified by <code>DESTDIR</code>
need not exist yet; it will be created if necessary.
<p>There is a subtle point with tooldirs and <code>DESTDIR</code>:
If you relocate a cross-compiler installation with
e.g. <code>DESTDIR=</code><var>rootdir</var><code></code>, then the directory
<code></code><var>rootdir</var><code>/</code><var>exec-prefix</var><code>/</code><var>target-alias</var><code>/bin</code> will
be filled with duplicated GCC executables only if it already exists,
it will not be created otherwise. This is regarded as a feature,
not as a bug, because it gives slightly more control to the packagers
using the <code>DESTDIR</code> feature.
<p>If you built a released version of GCC using <code>make bootstrap</code> then please
quickly review the build status page for your release, available from
<a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html">http://gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html</a>.
If your system is not listed for the version of GCC that you built,
send a note to
<a href="mailto:gcc@gcc.gnu.org">gcc@gcc.gnu.org</a> indicating
that you successfully built and installed GCC.
Include the following information:
<ul>
<li>Output from running <code></code><var>srcdir</var><code>/config.guess</code>. Do not send us
that file itself, just the one-line output from running it.
<li>The output of <code>gcc -v</code> for your newly installed gcc.
This tells us which version of GCC you built and the options you passed to
configure.
<li>Whether you enabled all languages or a subset of them. If you used a
full distribution then this information is part of the configure
options in the output of <code>gcc -v</code>, but if you downloaded the
"core" compiler plus additional front ends then it isn't apparent
which ones you built unless you tell us about it.
<li>If the build was for GNU/Linux, also include:
<ul>
<li>The distribution name and version (e.g., Red Hat 7.1 or Debian 2.2.3);
this information should be available from <code>/etc/issue</code>.
<li>The version of the Linux kernel, available from <code>uname --version</code>
or <code>uname -a</code>.
<li>The version of glibc you used; for RPM-based systems like Red Hat,
Mandrake, and SuSE type <code>rpm -q glibc</code> to get the glibc version,
and on systems like Debian and Progeny use <code>dpkg -l libc6</code>.
</ul>
For other systems, you can include similar information if you think it is
relevant.
<li>Any other information that you think would be useful to people building
GCC on the same configuration. The new entry in the build status list
will include a link to the archived copy of your message.
</ul>
<p>We'd also like to know if the
<a href="specific.html">host/target specific installation notes</a>
didn't include your host/target information or if that information is
incomplete or out of date. Send a note to
<a href="mailto:gcc@gcc.gnu.org">gcc@gcc.gnu.org</a> telling us how the information should be changed.
<p>If you find a bug, please report it following our
<a href="../bugs.html">bug reporting guidelines</a>.
<p>If you want to print the GCC manuals, do <code>cd </code><var>objdir</var><code>; make
dvi</code>. You will need to have <code>texi2dvi</code> (version at least 4.2)
and TeX installed. This creates a number of <code>.dvi</code> files in
subdirectories of <code></code><var>objdir</var><code></code>; these may be converted for
printing with programs such as <code>dvips</code>. You can also
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/order/order.html">buy printed manuals from the Free Software Foundation</a>, though such manuals may not be for the most
recent version of GCC.
