Installing the GNU C Library
****************************
2012-05-16 18:50:39 +00:00
Before you do anything else, you should read the FAQ at
<https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/FAQ>. It answers common questions
and describes problems you may experience with compilation and
installation.
You will need recent versions of several GNU tools: definitely GCC
and GNU Make, and possibly others. *Note Tools for Compilation::,
below.
Configuring and compiling the GNU C Library
===========================================
The GNU C Library cannot be compiled in the source directory. You must
build it in a separate build directory. For example, if you have
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
unpacked the GNU C Library sources in '/src/gnu/glibc-VERSION', create a
directory '/src/gnu/glibc-build' to put the object files in. This
allows removing the whole build directory in case an error occurs, which
is the safest way to get a fresh start and should always be done.
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
From your object directory, run the shell script 'configure' located
at the top level of the source tree. In the scenario above, you'd type
$ ../glibc-VERSION/configure ARGS...
Please note that even though you're building in a separate build
directory, the compilation may need to create or modify files and
directories in the source directory.
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
'configure' takes many options, but the only one that is usually
mandatory is '--prefix'. This option tells 'configure' where you want
the GNU C Library installed. This defaults to '/usr/local', but the
normal setting to install as the standard system library is
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
'--prefix=/usr' for GNU/Linux systems and '--prefix=' (an empty prefix)
for GNU/Hurd systems.
It may also be useful to pass 'CC=COMPILER' and 'CFLAGS=FLAGS'
arguments to 'configure'. 'CC' selects the C compiler that will be
used, and 'CFLAGS' sets optimization options for the compiler. Any
compiler options required for all compilations, such as options
selecting an ABI or a processor for which to generate code, should be
included in 'CC'. Options that may be overridden by the GNU C Library
build system for particular files, such as for optimization and
debugging, should go in 'CFLAGS'. The default value of 'CFLAGS' is '-g
-O2', and the GNU C Library cannot be compiled without optimization, so
if 'CFLAGS' is specified it must enable optimization. For example:
$ ../glibc-VERSION/configure CC="gcc -m32" CFLAGS="-O3"
The following list describes all of the available options for
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
'configure':
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
'--prefix=DIRECTORY'
Install machine-independent data files in subdirectories of
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
'DIRECTORY'. The default is to install in '/usr/local'.
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
'--exec-prefix=DIRECTORY'
Install the library and other machine-dependent files in
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
subdirectories of 'DIRECTORY'. The default is to the '--prefix'
directory if that option is specified, or '/usr/local' otherwise.
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
'--with-headers=DIRECTORY'
Look for kernel header files in DIRECTORY, not '/usr/include'. The
GNU C Library needs information from the kernel's header files
describing the interface to the kernel. The GNU C Library will
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
normally look in '/usr/include' for them, but if you specify this
option, it will look in DIRECTORY instead.
This option is primarily of use on a system where the headers in
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
'/usr/include' come from an older version of the GNU C Library.
Conflicts can occasionally happen in this case. You can also use
this option if you want to compile the GNU C Library with a newer
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
set of kernel headers than the ones found in '/usr/include'.
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
'--enable-kernel=VERSION'
This option is currently only useful on GNU/Linux systems. The
VERSION parameter should have the form X.Y.Z and describes the
smallest version of the Linux kernel the generated library is
expected to support. The higher the VERSION number is, the less
compatibility code is added, and the faster the code gets.
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
'--with-binutils=DIRECTORY'
Use the binutils (assembler and linker) in 'DIRECTORY', not the
Update. 2002-03-23 Jakub Jelinek <jakub@redhat.com> * sysdeps/generic/brk.c (__curbrk): Declare. * sysdeps/generic/dl-brk.c: Add attribute_hidden to __curbrk. * sysdeps/generic/dl-sbrk.c: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/arm/dl-brk.S: New file. * sysdeps/unix/bsd/hp/m68k/dl-brk.S: New file. * sysdeps/unix/bsd/osf/alpha/dl-brk.S: New file. * sysdeps/unix/bsd/sun/m68k/dl-brk.S: New file. * sysdeps/unix/bsd/vax/dl-brk.S: New file. * sysdeps/unix/i386/dl-brk.S: New file. * sysdeps/unix/mips/dl-brk.S: New file. * sysdeps/unix/sparc/dl-brk.S: New file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/dl-brk.S: New file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ia64/dl-brk.S: New file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/dl-brk.S: New file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc/sparc64/dl-brk.S: New file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/dl-brk.c: Remove. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/dl-sbrk.c: Remove. 2002-04-03 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de> * Makefile (headers): Add gnu/lib-names.h here instead of install-others.

ones the C compiler would default to. You can use this option if
the default binutils on your system cannot deal with all the
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
constructs in the GNU C Library. In that case, 'configure' will
detect the problem and suppress these constructs, so that the
library will still be usable, but functionality may be lost--for
example, you can't build a shared libc with old binutils.
'--with-nonshared-cflags=CFLAGS'
Use additional compiler flags CFLAGS to build the parts of the
library which are always statically linked into applications and
libraries even with shared linking (that is, the object files
contained in 'lib*_nonshared.a' libraries). The build process will
automatically use the appropriate flags, but this option can be
used to set additional flags required for building applications and
libraries, to match local policy. For example, if such a policy
requires that all code linked into applications must be built with
source fortification,
'--with-nonshared-cflags=-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2' will make sure
that the objects in 'libc_nonshared.a' are compiled with this flag
(although this will not affect the generated code in this
particular case and potentially change debugging information and
metadata only).
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
'--disable-shared'
Don't build shared libraries even if it is possible. Not all
systems support shared libraries; you need ELF support and
(currently) the GNU linker.
Add --enable-static-pie configure option to build static PIE [BZ #19574] Static PIE extends address space layout randomization to static executables. It provides additional security hardening benefits at the cost of some memory and performance. Dynamic linker, ld.so, is a standalone program which can be loaded at any address. This patch adds a configure option, --enable-static-pie, to embed the part of ld.so in static executable to create static position independent executable (static PIE). A static PIE is similar to static executable, but can be loaded at any address without help from a dynamic linker. When --enable-static-pie is used to configure glibc, libc.a is built as PIE and all static executables, including tests, are built as static PIE. The resulting libc.a can be used together with GCC 8 or above to build static PIE with the compiler option, -static-pie. But GCC 8 isn't required to build glibc with --enable-static-pie. Only GCC with PIE support is needed. When an older GCC is used to build glibc with --enable-static-pie, proper input files are passed to linker to create static executables as static PIE, together with "-z text" to prevent dynamic relocations in read-only segments, which are not allowed in static PIE. The following changes are made for static PIE: 1. Add a new function, _dl_relocate_static_pie, to: a. Get the run-time load address. b. Read the dynamic section. c. Perform dynamic relocations. Dynamic linker also performs these steps. But static PIE doesn't load any shared objects. 2. Call _dl_relocate_static_pie at entrance of LIBC_START_MAIN in libc.a. crt1.o, which is used to create dynamic and non-PIE static executables, is updated to include a dummy _dl_relocate_static_pie. rcrt1.o is added to create static PIE, which will link in the real _dl_relocate_static_pie. grcrt1.o is also added to create static PIE with -pg. GCC 8 has been updated to support rcrt1.o and grcrt1.o for static PIE. Static PIE can work on all architectures which support PIE, provided: 1. Target must support accessing of local functions without dynamic relocations, which is needed in start.S to call __libc_start_main with function addresses of __libc_csu_init, __libc_csu_fini and main. All functions in static PIE are local functions. If PIE start.S can't reach main () defined in a shared object, the code sequence: pass address of local_main to __libc_start_main ... local_main: tail call to main via PLT can be used. 2. start.S is updated to check PIC instead SHARED for PIC code path and avoid dynamic relocation, when PIC is defined and SHARED isn't defined, to support static PIE. 3. All assembly codes are updated check PIC instead SHARED for PIC code path to avoid dynamic relocations in read-only sections. 4. All assembly codes are updated check SHARED instead PIC for static symbol name. 5. elf_machine_load_address in dl-machine.h are updated to support static PIE. 6. __brk works without TLS nor dynamic relocations in read-only section so that it can be used by __libc_setup_tls to initializes TLS in static PIE. NB: When glibc is built with GCC defaulted to PIE, libc.a is compiled with -fPIE, regardless if --enable-static-pie is used to configure glibc. When glibc is configured with --enable-static-pie, libc.a is compiled with -fPIE, regardless whether GCC defaults to PIE or not. The same libc.a can be used to build both static executable and static PIE. There is no need for separate PIE copy of libc.a. On x86-64, the normal static sln: text data bss dec hex filename 625425 8284 5456 639165 9c0bd elf/sln the static PIE sln: text data bss dec hex filename 657626 20636 5392 683654 a6e86 elf/sln The code size is increased by 5% and the binary size is increased by 7%. Linker requirements to build glibc with --enable-static-pie: 1. Linker supports --no-dynamic-linker to remove PT_INTERP segment from static PIE. 2. Linker can create working static PIE. The x86-64 linker needs the fix for https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21782 The i386 linker needs to be able to convert "movl main@GOT(%ebx), %eax" to "leal main@GOTOFF(%ebx), %eax" if main is defined locally. Binutils 2.29 or above are OK for i686 and x86-64. But linker status for other targets need to be verified. 3. Linker should resolve undefined weak symbols to 0 in static PIE: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22269 4. Many ELF backend linkers incorrectly check bfd_link_pic for TLS relocations, which should check bfd_link_executable instead: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22263 Tested on aarch64, i686 and x86-64.

'--enable-static-pie'
Enable static position independent executable (static PIE) support.
Static PIE is similar to static executable, but can be loaded at
any address without help from a dynamic linker. All static
programs as well as static tests are built as static PIE, except
for those marked with no-pie. The resulting glibc can be used with
the GCC option, -static-pie, which is available with GCC 8 or
above, to create static PIE. This option also implies that glibc
programs and tests are created as dynamic position independent
executables (PIE) by default.

'--enable-cet'
'--enable-cet=permissive'
Enable Intel Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) support.
When the GNU C Library is built with '--enable-cet' or
'--enable-cet=permissive', the resulting library is protected with
indirect branch tracking (IBT) and shadow stack (SHSTK). When CET
is enabled, the GNU C Library is compatible with all existing
executables and shared libraries. This feature is currently
supported on i386, x86_64 and x32 with GCC 8 and binutils 2.29 or
later. Note that when CET is enabled, the GNU C Library requires
CPUs capable of multi-byte NOPs, like x86-64 processors as well as
Intel Pentium Pro or newer. With '--enable-cet', it is an error to
dlopen a non CET enabled shared library in CET enabled application.
With '--enable-cet=permissive', CET is disabled when dlopening a
non CET enabled shared library in CET enabled application.
NOTE: '--enable-cet' has been tested for i686, x86_64 and x32 on
non-CET processors. '--enable-cet' has been tested for i686,
x86_64 and x32 on CET processors.
'--enable-memory-tagging'
Enable memory tagging support if the architecture supports it.
When the GNU C Library is built with this option then the resulting
library will be able to control the use of tagged memory when
hardware support is present by use of the tunable
'glibc.mem.tagging'. This includes the generation of tagged memory
when using the 'malloc' APIs.
At present only AArch64 platforms with MTE provide this
functionality, although the library will still operate (without
memory tagging) on older versions of the architecture.
The default is to disable support for memory tagging.
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
'--disable-profile'
Don't build libraries with profiling information. You may want to
use this option if you don't plan to do profiling.
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
'--enable-static-nss'
Compile static versions of the NSS (Name Service Switch) libraries.
This is not recommended because it defeats the purpose of NSS; a
program linked statically with the NSS libraries cannot be
dynamically reconfigured to use a different name database.
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
'--enable-hardcoded-path-in-tests'
By default, dynamic tests are linked to run with the installed C
library. This option hardcodes the newly built C library path in
dynamic tests so that they can be invoked directly.
'--disable-timezone-tools'
By default, timezone related utilities ('zic', 'zdump', and
'tzselect') are installed with the GNU C Library. If you are
building these independently (e.g. by using the 'tzcode' package),
then this option will allow disabling the install of these.
Note that you need to make sure the external tools are kept in sync
with the versions that the GNU C Library expects as the data
formats may change over time. Consult the 'timezone' subdirectory
for more details.
'--enable-stack-protector'
'--enable-stack-protector=strong'
'--enable-stack-protector=all'
Compile the C library and all other parts of the glibc package
(including the threading and math libraries, NSS modules, and
transliteration modules) using the GCC '-fstack-protector',
'-fstack-protector-strong' or '-fstack-protector-all' options to
detect stack overruns. Only the dynamic linker and a small number
of routines called directly from assembler are excluded from this
protection.
'--enable-bind-now'
Disable lazy binding for installed shared objects and programs.
This provides additional security hardening because it enables full
RELRO and a read-only global offset table (GOT), at the cost of
slightly increased program load times.
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
'--enable-pt_chown'
The file 'pt_chown' is a helper binary for 'grantpt' (*note
Pseudo-Terminals: Allocation.) that is installed setuid root to fix
up pseudo-terminal ownership on GNU/Hurd. It is not required on
GNU/Linux, and the GNU C Library will not use the installed
'pt_chown' program when configured with '--enable-pt_chown'.
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
'--disable-werror'
By default, the GNU C Library is built with '-Werror'. If you wish
Use -Werror by default, add --disable-werror. As discussed starting at <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-11/msg00323.html>, this patch makes the glibc build use -Werror by default to avoid accidentally adding new warnings to the build. The configure option --disable-werror can be used to disable this. -Wno-error=undef is temporarily used because the build isn't clean regarding -Wundef warnings. The idea is that once the remaining -Wundef warnings have been cleaned up (in at least one configuration), -Wno-error=undef will be removed. I get a clean build and test on x86_64 (GCC 4.9 branch) with this patch. The expectation is that this may well break the build for some other configurations, and people seeing such breakage should make appropriate fixes to fix or suppress the warnings for their configurations. In some cases that may involve using pragmas as the right fix (I think that will be right for the -Wno-inline issue for MIPS I referred to in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-11/msg00798.html>, for example), in some cases -Wno-error in sysdeps makefiles (__restore_rt in MIPS sigaction, for example), in some cases substantive fixes for the warnings. Note that if, with a view to listing all the warnings then fixing them all, you just look for "warning:" in output from building and testing with --disable-werror, you'll see lots of warnings from the linker about functions such as tmpnam. Those warnings can be ignored - only compiler warnings are relevant to -Werror, not linker warnings. * configure.ac (--disable-werror): New configure option. (enable_werror): New AC_SUBST. * configure: Regenerated. * config.make.in (enable-werror): New variable. * Makeconfig [$(enable-werror) = yes] (+gccwarn): Add -Werror -Wno-error=undef. (+gccwarn-c): Do not use -Werror=implicit-function-declaration. * manual/install.texi (Configuring and compiling): Document --disable-werror. * INSTALL: Regenerated. * debug/Makefile (CFLAGS-tst-chk1.c): Add -Wno-error.

version of GCC than this version of the GNU C Library was tested
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
with, so new warnings cause the build with '-Werror' to fail), you
can configure with '--disable-werror'.

Add framework for tunables The tunables framework allows us to uniformly manage and expose global variables inside glibc as switches to users. tunables/README has instructions for glibc developers to add new tunables. Tunables support can be enabled by passing the --enable-tunables configure flag to the configure script.

'--enable-tunables'
Tunables support allows additional library parameters to be
customized at runtime. This feature is enabled by default. This
option can take the following values:
Enhance --enable-tunables to select tunables frontend at build time At the GNU Tools Cauldron 2016, the state of the current tunables patchset was considered OK with the addition of a way to select the frontend to be used for the tunables. That is, to avoid being locked in to one type of frontend initially, it should be possible to build tunables with a different frontend with something as simple as a configure switch. To that effect, this patch enhances the --enable-tunables option to accept more values than just 'yes' or 'no'. The current frontend (and default when enable-tunables is 'yes') is called 'valstring', to select the frontend where a single environment variable is set to a colon-separated value string. More such frontends can be added in future. * Makeconfig (have-tunables): Check for non-negative instead of positive. * configure.ac: Add 'valstring' as a valid value for --enable-tunables. * configure: Regenerate. * elf/Makefile (have-tunables): Check for non-negative instead of positive.

2016-12-31 18:04:04 +00:00
'yes'
This is the default if no option is passed to configure. This
enables tunables and selects the default frontend (currently
'valstring').
'no'
This option disables tunables.

'valstring'
This enables tunables and selects the 'valstring' frontend for
tunables. This frontend allows users to specify tunables as a
colon-separated list in a single environment variable
'GLIBC_TUNABLES'.
Add framework for tunables The tunables framework allows us to uniformly manage and expose global variables inside glibc as switches to users. tunables/README has instructions for glibc developers to add new tunables. Tunables support can be enabled by passing the --enable-tunables configure flag to the configure script. This patch only adds a framework and does not pose any limitations on how tunable values are read from the user. It also adds environment variables used in malloc behaviour tweaking to the tunables framework as a PoC of the compatibility interface. * manual/install.texi: Add --enable-tunables option. * INSTALL: Regenerate. * README.tunables: New file. * Makeconfig (CPPFLAGS): Define TOP_NAMESPACE.

'--disable-crypt'
Do not install the passphrase-hashing library 'libcrypt' or the
header file 'crypt.h'. 'unistd.h' will still declare the function
'crypt'. Using this option does not change the set of programs
that may need to be linked with '-lcrypt'; it only means that the
GNU C Library will not provide that library.
This option is for hackers and distributions experimenting with
independently-maintained implementations of libcrypt. It may
become the default in a future release.
'--disable-experimental-malloc'
By default, a per-thread cache is enabled in 'malloc'. While this
cache can be disabled on a per-application basis using tunables
(set glibc.malloc.tcache_count to zero), this option can be used to
remove it from the build completely.
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
'--build=BUILD-SYSTEM'
'--host=HOST-SYSTEM'
These options are for cross-compiling. If you specify both options
and BUILD-SYSTEM is different from HOST-SYSTEM, 'configure' will
prepare to cross-compile the GNU C Library from BUILD-SYSTEM to be
used on HOST-SYSTEM. You'll probably need the '--with-headers'
option too, and you may have to override CONFIGURE's selection of
the compiler and/or binutils.
If you only specify '--host', 'configure' will prepare for a native
compile but use what you specify instead of guessing what your
system is. This is most useful to change the CPU submodel. For
example, if 'configure' guesses your machine as 'i686-pc-linux-gnu'
but you want to compile a library for 586es, give
'--host=i586-pc-linux-gnu' or just '--host=i586-linux' and add the
appropriate compiler flags ('-mcpu=i586' will do the trick) to
'CC'.

'--with-pkgversion=VERSION'
Specify a description, possibly including a build number or build

To build the library and related programs, type 'make'. This will
produce a lot of output, some of which may look like errors from 'make'
but aren't. Look for error messages from 'make' containing '***'.
Those indicate that something is seriously wrong.
The compilation process can take a long time, depending on the
configuration and the speed of your machine. Some complex modules may
take a very long time to compile, as much as several minutes on slower
machines. Do not panic if the compiler appears to hang.
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
If you want to run a parallel make, simply pass the '-j' option with
an appropriate numeric parameter to 'make'. You need a recent GNU
'make' version, though.
To build and run test programs which exercise some of the library
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
facilities, type 'make check'. If it does not complete successfully, do
not use the built library, and report a bug after verifying that the
problem is not already known. *Note Reporting Bugs::, for instructions
on reporting bugs. Note that some of the tests assume they are not
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
being run by 'root'. We recommend you compile and test the GNU C
Library as an unprivileged user.
Before reporting bugs make sure there is no problem with your system.

Do not terminate default test runs on test failure. This patch is an updated version of <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00198.html> and <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-03/msg00180.html>. Normal practice for software testsuites is that rather than terminating immediately when a test fails, they continue running and report at the end on how many tests passed or failed. The principle behind the glibc testsuite stopping on failure was probably that the expected state is no failures and so any failure indicates a problem such as miscompilation. In practice, while this is fairly close to true for native testing on x86_64 and x86 (kernel bugs and race conditions can still cause intermittent failures), it's less likely to be the case on other platforms, and so people testing glibc run the testsuite with "make -k" and then examine the logs to determine whether the failures are what they expect to fail on that platform, possibly with some automation for the comparison. This patch switches the glibc testsuite to the normal convention of not stopping on failure - unless you use stop-on-test-failure=y, in which case it behaves essentially as it did before (and does not generate overall test summaries on failure). Instead, the summary tests.sum may contain tests that FAILed. At the end of the test run, any FAIL or ERROR lines from tests.sum are printed, and then it exits with error status if there were any such lines. In addition, build failures will also cause the test run to stop - this has the justification that those *do* indicate serious problems that should be promptly fixed and aren't generally hard to fix (but apart from that, avoiding the build stopping on those failures seems harder). Note that unlike the previous patches in this series, this *does* require people with automation around testing glibc to change their processes - either to start using tests.sum / xtests.sum to track failures and compare them with expectations (with or without also using "make -k" and examining "make" logs to identify build failures), or else to use stop-on-test-failure=y and ignore the new tests.sum / xtests.sum mechanism.

It is also possible to execute tests, which require setting the date
on the target machine. Following use cases are supported:
* 'GLIBC_TEST_ALLOW_TIME_SETTING' is set in the environment in which
eligible tests are executed and have the privilege to run
'clock_settime'. In this case, nothing prevents those tests from
running in parallel, so the caller shall assure that those tests
are serialized or provide a proper wrapper script for them.
* The 'cross-test-ssh.sh' script is used and one passes the
'--allow-time-setting' flag. In this case, both sets
'GLIBC_TEST_ALLOW_TIME_SETTING' and serialization of test execution
are assured automatically.

Don't require test wrappers to preserve environment variables, use more consistent environment. One wart in the original support for test wrappers for cross testing, as noted in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-10/msg00722.html>, is the requirement for test wrappers to pass a poorly-defined set of environment variables from the build system to the system running the glibc under test. Although some variables are passed explicitly via $(test-wrapper-env), including LD_* variables that simply can't be passed implicitly because of the side effects they'd have on the build system's dynamic linker, others are passed implicitly, including variables such as GCONV_PATH and LOCPATH that could potentially affect the build system's libc (so effectively relying on any such effects not breaking the wrappers). In addition, the code in cross-test-ssh.sh for preserving environment variables is fragile (it depends on how bash formats a list of exported variables, and could well break for multi-line variable definitions where the contents contain things looking like other variable definitions). This patch moves to explicitly passing environment variables via $(test-wrapper-env). Makefile variables that previously used $(test-wrapper) are split up into -before-env and -after-env parts that can be passed separately to the various .sh files used in testing, so those files can then insert environment settings between the two parts. The common default environment settings in make-test-out are made into a separate makefile variable that can also be passed to scripts, rather than many scripts duplicating those settings (for testing an installed glibc, it is desirable to have the GCONV_PATH setting on just one place, so just that one place needs to support it pointing to an installed sysroot instead of the build tree). The default settings are included in the variables such as $(test-program-prefix), so that if tests do not need any non-default settings they can continue to use single variables rather than the split-up variables. Although this patch cleans up LC_ALL=C settings (that being part of the common defaults), various LANG=C and LANGUAGE=C settings remain. Those are generally unnecessary and I propose a subsequent cleanup to remove them. LC_ALL takes precedence over LANG, and while LANGUAGE takes precedence over LC_ALL, it only does so for settings other than LC_ALL=C. So LC_ALL=C on its own is sufficient to ensure the C locale, and anything that gets LC_ALL=C does not need the other settings. While preparing this patch I noticed some tests with .sh files that appeared to do nothing beyond what the generic makefile support for tests can do (localedata/tst-wctype.sh - the makefiles support -ENV variables and .input files - and localedata/tst-mbswcs.sh - just runs five tests that could be run individually from the makefile). So I propose another subsequent cleanup to move those to using the generic support instead of special .sh files.

Don't require test wrappers to preserve environment variables, use more consistent environment. One wart in the original support for test wrappers for cross testing, as noted in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-10/msg00722.html>, is the requirement for test wrappers to pass a poorly-defined set of environment variables from the build system to the system running the glibc under test. Although some variables are passed explicitly via $(test-wrapper-env), including LD_* variables that simply can't be passed implicitly because of the side effects they'd have on the build system's dynamic linker, others are passed implicitly, including variables such as GCONV_PATH and LOCPATH that could potentially affect the build system's libc (so effectively relying on any such effects not breaking the wrappers). In addition, the code in cross-test-ssh.sh for preserving environment variables is fragile (it depends on how bash formats a list of exported variables, and could well break for multi-line variable definitions where the contents contain things looking like other variable definitions). This patch moves to explicitly passing environment variables via $(test-wrapper-env). Makefile variables that previously used $(test-wrapper) are split up into -before-env and -after-env parts that can be passed separately to the various .sh files used in testing, so those files can then insert environment settings between the two parts.

the same variable are specified, the last assignment specified must take
precedence. Similarly, if 'TEST-WRAPPER env -i' will not work to run a
program with an environment completely empty of variables except those
directly assigned, then 'test-wrapper-env-only' must be set; its use has
the same syntax as 'test-wrapper-env', the only difference in its
semantics being starting with an empty set of environment variables
rather than the ambient set.

Remove redundant C locale settings. Various glibc build / install / test code has C locale settings that are redundant with LC_ALL=C. LC_ALL takes precedence over LANG, so anywhere that sets LC_ALL=C (explicitly, or through it being in the default environment for running tests) does not need to set LANG=C. LC_ALL=C also takes precedence over LANGUAGE, since 2001-01-02 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> * intl/dcigettext.c (guess_category_value): Rewrite so that LANGUAGE value is ignored if the selected locale is the C locale. * intl/tst-gettext.c: Set locale for above change. * intl/tst-translit.c: Likewise. and so settings of LANGUAGE=C are also redundant when LC_ALL=C is set. One test also had LC_ALL=C in its -ENV setting, although it's part of the default environment used for tests. This patch removes the redundant settings. It removes a suggestion in install.texi of setting LANGUAGE=C LC_ALL=C for "make install"; the Makefile.in target "install" already sets LC_ALL_C so there's no need for the user to set it (and nor should there be any need for the user to set it). If some build machine tool used by "make install" uses a version of libintl predating that 2001 change, and the user has LANGUAGE set, the removal of LANGUAGE=C from the Makefile.in "install" rule could in principle affect the user's installation. However, I don't think we need to be concerned about pre-2001 build tools.

first. If you are installing the GNU C Library as your primary C

'make install' will do the entire job of upgrading from a previous
installation of the GNU C Library version 2.x. There may sometimes be
headers left behind from the previous installation, but those are
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
generally harmless. If you want to avoid leaving headers behind you can
do things in the following order.
2000-03-10 09:36:06 +00:00
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
You must first build the library ('make'), optionally check it ('make
check'), switch the include directories and then install ('make
2000-03-10 09:36:06 +00:00
install'). The steps must be done in this order. Not moving the
directory before install will result in an unusable mixture of header
files from both libraries, but configuring, building, and checking the
library requires the ability to compile and run programs against the old
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
library. The new '/usr/include', after switching the include
directories and before installing the library should contain the Linux
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
headers, but nothing else. If you do this, you will need to restore any
headers from libraries other than the GNU C Library yourself after
installing the library.
2000-03-10 09:36:06 +00:00
You can install the GNU C Library somewhere other than where you
configured it to go by setting the 'DESTDIR' GNU standard make variable
on the command line for 'make install'. The value of this variable is
prepended to all the paths for installation. This is useful when
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
setting up a chroot environment or preparing a binary distribution. The
directory should be specified with an absolute file name. Installing
with the 'prefix' and 'exec_prefix' GNU standard make variables set is
not supported.

One auxiliary program, '/usr/libexec/pt_chown', is installed setuid
'root' if the '--enable-pt_chown' configuration option is used. This
program is invoked by the 'grantpt' function; it sets the permissions on
a pseudoterminal so it can be used by the calling process. If you are
using a Linux kernel with the 'devpts' filesystem enabled and mounted at
'/dev/pts', you don't need this program.
After installation you should configure the timezone and install
locales for your system. The time zone configuration ensures that your
system time matches the time for your current timezone. The locales
ensure that the display of information on your system matches the
expectations of your language and geographic region.
The GNU C Library is able to use two kinds of localization
information sources, the first is a locale database named
'locale-archive' which is generally installed as
'/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive'. The locale archive has the benefit of
taking up less space and being very fast to load, but only if you plan
to install sixty or more locales. If you plan to install one or two
locales you can instead install individual locales into their self-named
directories e.g. '/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8'. For example to install
the German locale using the character set for UTF-8 with name 'de_DE'
into the locale archive issue the command 'localedef -i de_DE -f UTF-8
de_DE', and to install just the one locale issue the command 'localedef
--no-archive -i de_DE -f UTF-8 de_DE'. To configure all locales that
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
are supported by the GNU C Library, you can issue from your build
directory the command 'make localedata/install-locales' to install all
locales into the locale archive or 'make
localedata/install-locale-files' to install all locales as files in the
default configured locale installation directory (derived from
'--prefix' or '--localedir'). To install into an alternative system
root use 'DESTDIR' e.g. 'make localedata/install-locale-files
DESTDIR=/opt/glibc', but note that this does not change the configured
prefix.
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
To configure the locally used timezone, set the 'TZ' environment
variable. The script 'tzselect' helps you to select the right value.
As an example, for Germany, 'tzselect' would tell you to use
'TZ='Europe/Berlin''. For a system wide installation (the given paths
are for an installation with '--prefix=/usr'), link the timezone file
which is in '/usr/share/zoneinfo' to the file '/etc/localtime'. For
Germany, you might execute 'ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin
/etc/localtime'.
Recommended Tools for Compilation
=================================
We recommend installing the following GNU tools before attempting to
build the GNU C Library:
* GNU 'make' 4.0 or newer
As of relase time, GNU 'make' 4.3 is the newest verified to work to
build the GNU C Library.
* GCC 6.2 or newer
2012-02-27 23:07:59 +00:00
GCC 6.2 or higher is required. In general it is recommended to use
the newest version of the compiler that is known to work for
building the GNU C Library, as newer compilers usually produce
better code. As of release time, GCC 10.2 is the newest compiler
verified to work to build the GNU C Library.
powerpc64le: raise GCC requirement to 7.4 for long double transition Add compiler feature tests to ensure we can build ieee128 long double. These test for -mabi=ieeelongdouble, -mno-gnu-attribute, and -Wno-psabi. Likewise, verify some compiler bugs have been addressed. These aren't helpful for building glibc, but may cause test failures when testing the new long double. See notes below from Raji. On powerpc64le, some older compiler versions give error for the function signbit() for 128-bit floating point types. This is fixed by PR83862 in gcc 8.0 and backported to gcc6 and gcc7. This patch adds a test to check compiler version to avoid compiler errors during make check. Likewise, test for -mno-gnu-attribute support which was On powerpc64le, a few files are built on IEEE long double mode (-mabi=ieeelongdouble), whereas most are built on IBM long double mode (-mabi=ibmlongdouble, the default for -mlong-double-128). Since binutils 2.31, linking object files with different long double modes causes errors similar to: ld: libc_pic.a(s_isinfl.os) uses IBM long double, libc_pic.a(ieee128-qefgcvt.os) uses IEEE long double. collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [../Makerules:649: libc_pic.os] Error 1 The warnings are fair and correct, but in order for glibc to have support for both long double modes on powerpc64le, they have to be ignored. This can be accomplished with the use of -mno-gnu-attribute option when building the few files that require IEEE long double mode. However, -mno-gnu-attribute is not available in GCC 6, the minimum version required to build glibc, so this patch adds a test for this feature in powerpc64le builds, and fails early if it's not available.

For PowerPC 64-bits little-endian (powerpc64le), a GCC version with
support for '-mno-gnu-attribute', '-mabi=ieeelongdouble', and
'-mabi=ibmlondouble' is required. Likewise, the compiler must also
support passing '-mlong-double-128' with the preceding options. As
of release, this implies GCC 7.4 and newer (excepting GCC 7.5.0,
see GCC PR94200). These additional features are required for
building the GNU C Library with support for IEEE long double.

For ARC architecture builds, GCC 8.3 or higher is needed.
For s390x architecture builds, GCC 7.1 or higher is needed (See gcc
Bug 98269).
For multi-arch support it is recommended to use a GCC which has
been built with support for GNU indirect functions. This ensures
that correct debugging information is generated for functions
selected by IFUNC resolvers. This support can either be enabled by
configuring GCC with '--enable-gnu-indirect-function', or by
enabling it by default by setting 'default_gnu_indirect_function'
variable for a particular architecture in the GCC source file
'gcc/config.gcc'.
You can use whatever compiler you like to compile programs that use
the GNU C Library.
Check the FAQ for any special compiler issues on particular

plural.c: improve reproducibility There is a subtle non-determinism when building glibc. This depends on whether the glibc is built using the distibuted file intl/plural.c or built using the generated file intl/plural.c. These two files (intl/plural.c generated vs. distributed) are slightly different, hence we may end up with slightly different libraries. Originally, having "bison" installed was optional. So if "bison" was not present, we always built libraries with the distributed plural.c. If bison was installed, we *** may have *** replaced the distributed file plural.c with a new plural.c generated from plural.y. if the timestamps triggered this rule: plural.c plural.y $(BISON) $(BISONFLAGS) $@ $^ Given that timestamps are not preserved in GIT repositories, the above rule is not reliable without explicitly touching plural.c or plural.y. In other words, the rule may or may not have fired. In summary: there are two distinct sources of non-determinism: 1. Having "bison" installed or not 2. Having "bison" installed but timestamps poorly defined. This patch fixes this by requiring "bison" being installed and by always generating intl/plural.c from intl/plural.y.

If bison was installed, we *** may have *** replaced the distributed file plural.c with a new plural.c generated from plural.y. if the timestamps triggered this rule: plural.c plural.y $(BISON) $(BISONFLAGS) $@ $^ Given that timestamps are not preserved in GIT repositories, the above rule is not reliable without explicitly touching plural.c or plural.y. In other words, the rule may or may not have fired. In summary: there are two distinct sources of non-determinism: 1. Having "bison" installed or not 2. Having "bison" installed but timestamps poorly defined. This patch fixes this by requiring "bison" being installed and by always generating intl/plural.c from intl/plural.y. (This is achieved by simply removing checked-in intl/plural.c) [BZ #22432] * configure.ac (BISON): Require to be present. * configure: Regenerated. * intl/Makefile (generated): Add plural.c. [$(BISON) != no]: Make code unconditional. (plural.c): Change rule to $(objpfx)plural.c. ($(objpfx)plural.o): Depend on $(objpfx)plural.c. * intl/plural.c: Remove. * manual/install.texi (Tools for Compilation): Document bison as required. * INSTALL: Regenerated.

* Perl 5
Perl is not required, but if present it is used in some tests and
the 'mtrace' program, to build the GNU C Library manual. As of
release time 'perl' version 5.32.0 is the newest verified to work
to build the GNU C Library.
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
* GNU 'sed' 3.02 or newer
2000-03-10 09:36:06 +00:00
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
'Sed' is used in several places to generate files. Most scripts
work with any version of 'sed'. As of release time, 'sed' version
4.8 is the newest verified to work to build the GNU C Library.
2000-03-10 09:36:06 +00:00
* Python 3.4 or later
Python is required to build the GNU C Library. As of release time,
Python 3.8.6 is the newest verified to work for building and
testing the GNU C Library.
* PExpect 4.0
The pretty printer tests drive GDB through test programs and
compare its output to the printers'. PExpect is used to capture
the output of GDB, and should be compatible with the Python version
in your system. As of release time PExpect 4.8 is the newest
verified to work to test the pretty printers.
* GDB 7.8 or later with support for Python 2.7/3.4 or later
GDB itself needs to be configured with Python support in order to
use the pretty printers. Notice that your system having Python
available doesn't imply that GDB supports it, nor that your
system's Python and GDB's have the same version. As of release
time GNU 'debugger' 10.1 is the newest verified to work to test the
pretty printers.
Unless Python, PExpect and GDB with Python support are present, the
printer tests will report themselves as 'UNSUPPORTED'. Notice that
some of the printer tests require the GNU C Library to be compiled
with debugging symbols.
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
If you change any of the 'configure.ac' files you will also need
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
* GNU 'autoconf' 2.69 (exactly)
and if you change any of the message translation files you will need
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
* GNU 'gettext' 0.10.36 or later
As of release time, GNU 'gettext' version 0.21 is the newest
version verified to work to build the GNU C Library.
You may also need these packages if you upgrade your source tree using
patches, although we try to avoid this.
Specific advice for GNU/Linux systems
=====================================
If you are installing the GNU C Library on GNU/Linux systems, you need
Require Linux 3.2 except on x86 / x86_64, 3.2 headers everywhere. In <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-01/msg00885.html> I proposed a minimum Linux kernel version of 3.2 for glibc 2.24, since Linux 2.6.32 has reached EOL. In the discussion in February, some concerns were expressed about compatibility with OpenVZ containers. It's not clear that these are real issues, given OpenVZ backporting kernel features and faking the kernel version for guest software, as discussed in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-02/msg00278.html>. It's also not clear that supporting running GNU/Linux distributions from late 2016 (at the earliest) on a kernel series from 2009 is a sensible expectation. However, as an interim step, this patch increases the requirement everywhere except x86 / x86_64 (since the controversy was only about those architectures); the special caveats and settings can easily be removed later when we're ready to increase the requirements on x86 / x86_64 (and if someone would like to raise the issue on LWN as suggested in the previous discussion, that would be welcome). 3.2 kernel headers are required everywhere by this patch. (x32 already requires 3.4 or later, so is unaffected by this patch.) As usual for such a change, this patch only changes the configure scripts and associated documentation. The intent is to follow up with removal of dead __LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION conditionals. Each __ASSUME_* or other macro that becomes dead can then be removed independently. Tested for x86_64 and x86. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure.ac (LIBC_LINUX_VERSION): Define to 3.2.0. (arch_minimum_kernel): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/configure.ac (arch_minimum_kernel): Define to 2.6.32. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/configure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/64/configure.ac (arch_minimum_kernel): Define to 2.6.32. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/64/configure: Regenerated. * README: Document Linux 3.2 requirement. * manual/install.texi (Linux): Document Linux 3.2 headers requirement. * INSTALL: Regenerated.
2016-02-24 17:15:12 +00:00
to have the header files from a 3.2 or newer kernel around for
reference. (For the ia64 architecture, you need version 3.2.18 or newer
because this is the first version with support for the 'accept4' system
call.) These headers must be installed using 'make headers_install';
the headers present in the kernel source directory are not suitable for
direct use by the GNU C Library. You do not need to use that kernel,
just have its headers installed where the GNU C Library can access them,
referred to here as INSTALL-DIRECTORY. The easiest way to do this is to
unpack it in a directory such as '/usr/src/linux-VERSION'. In that
directory, run 'make headers_install
INSTALL_HDR_PATH=INSTALL-DIRECTORY'. Finally, configure the GNU C
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
Library with the option '--with-headers=INSTALL-DIRECTORY/include'. Use
the most recent kernel you can get your hands on. (If you are
cross-compiling the GNU C Library, you need to specify
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
'ARCH=ARCHITECTURE' in the 'make headers_install' command, where
ARCHITECTURE is the architecture name used by the Linux kernel, such as
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
'x86' or 'powerpc'.)
After installing the GNU C Library, you may need to remove or rename
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
directories such as '/usr/include/linux' and '/usr/include/asm', and
replace them with copies of directories such as 'linux' and 'asm' from
'INSTALL-DIRECTORY/include'. All directories present in
'INSTALL-DIRECTORY/include' should be copied, except that the GNU C
Library provides its own version of '/usr/include/scsi'; the files
provided by the kernel should be copied without replacing those provided
by the GNU C Library. The 'linux', 'asm' and 'asm-generic' directories
are required to compile programs using the GNU C Library; the other
directories describe interfaces to the kernel but are not required if
not compiling programs using those interfaces. You do not need to copy
kernel headers if you did not specify an alternate kernel header source
using '--with-headers'.
The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard for GNU/Linux systems expects some
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
components of the GNU C Library installation to be in '/lib' and some in
'/usr/lib'. This is handled automatically if you configure the GNU C
Library with '--prefix=/usr'. If you set some other prefix or allow it
to default to '/usr/local', then all the components are installed there.

Reporting Bugs
==============
There are probably bugs in the GNU C Library. There are certainly
errors and omissions in this manual. If you report them, they will get
fixed. If you don't, no one will ever know about them and they will
remain unfixed for all eternity, if not longer.
It is a good idea to verify that the problem has not already been
2015-01-21 03:25:38 +00:00
reported. Bugs are documented in two places: The file 'BUGS' describes
a number of well known bugs and the central GNU C Library bug tracking
system has a WWW interface at <https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/>. The
WWW interface gives you access to open and closed reports. A closed
report normally includes a patch or a hint on solving the problem.

To report a bug, first you must find it. With any luck, this will be
the hard part. Once you've found a bug, make sure it's really a bug. A
good way to do this is to see if the GNU C Library behaves the same way
some other C library does. If so, probably you are wrong and the
libraries are right (but not necessarily). If not, one of the libraries
is probably wrong. It might not be the GNU C Library. Many historical
Unix C libraries permit things that we don't, such as closing a file
twice.

Portability::), that is definitely a bug. Report it!
Once you're sure you've found a bug, try to narrow it down to the
smallest test case that reproduces the problem. In the case of a C
library, you really only need to narrow it down to one library function
call, if possible. This should not be too difficult.
The final step when you have a simple test case is to report the bug.
