(In particular, if you are using 17 InstallFailureSignalHandler(), the signal may be raised in the middle 18 of malloc, holding some malloc-related locks when they invoke the 19 stack unwinder. The built-in stack unwinder may call malloc 20 recursively, which may require the thread to acquire a lock it already 21 holds: deadlock.) 22 23 For that reason, if you use a 64-bit system and you need 24 InstallFailureSignalHandler(), we strongly recommend you install 25 libunwind before trying to configure or install google glog. 26 libunwind can be found at 27 28 http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/libunwind/libunwind-snap-070410.tar.gz 29 30 Even if you already have libunwind installed, you will probably still 31 need to install from the snapshot to get the latest version. 32 33 CAUTION: if you install libunwind from the URL above, be aware that 34 you may have trouble if you try to statically link your binary with 35 glog: that is, if you link with 'gcc -static -lgcc_eh ...'. This 36 is because both libunwind and libgcc implement the same C++ exception 37 handling APIs, but they implement them differently on some platforms. 38 This is not likely to be a problem on ia64, but may be on x86-64. 39 40 Also, if you link binaries statically, make sure that you add 41 -Wl,--eh-frame-hdr to your linker options. This is required so that 42 libunwind can find the information generated by the compiler required 43 for stack unwinding. 44 45 Using -static is rare, though, so unless you know this will affect you 46 it probably won't. 47 48 If you cannot or do not wish to install libunwind, you can still try 49 to use two kinds of stack-unwinder: 1. glibc built-in stack-unwinder 50 and 2. frame pointer based stack-unwinder. 51 52 1. As we already mentioned, glibc's unwinder has a deadlock issue. 53 However, if you don't use InstallFailureSignalHandler() or you don't 54 worry about the rare possibilities of deadlocks, you can use this 55 stack-unwinder. If you specify no options and libunwind isn't 56 detected on your system, the configure script chooses this unwinder by 57 default. 58 59 2. The frame pointer based stack unwinder requires that your 60 application, the glog library, and system libraries like libc, all be 61 compiled with a frame pointer. This is *not* the default for x86-64. 62 63 If you are on x86-64 system, know that you have a set of system 64 libraries with frame-pointers enabled, and compile all your 65 applications with -fno-omit-frame-pointer, then you can enable the 66 frame pointer based stack unwinder by passing the 67 --enable-frame-pointers flag to configure. 68 69 70 Basic Installation 71 ================== 72 73 Briefly, the shell commands `./configure; make; make install' should 74 configure, build, and install this package. The following 75 more-detailed instructions are generic; see the `README' file for 76 instructions specific to this package. 77 78 The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for 79 various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses 80 those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package. 81 It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent 82 definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that 83 you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, and a 84 file `config.log' containing compiler output (useful mainly for 85 debugging `configure'). 86 87 It can also use an optional file (typically called `config.cache' 88 and enabled with `--cache-file=config.cache' or simply `-C') that saves 89 the results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring. Caching is 90 disabled by default to prevent problems with accidental use of stale 91 cache files. 92 93 If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try 94 to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail 95 diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can 96 be considered for the next release. If you are using the cache, and at 97 some point `config.cache' contains results you don't want to keep, you 98 may remove or edit it. 99 100 The file `configure.ac' (or `configure.in') is used to create 101 `configure' by a program called `autoconf'. You need `configure.ac' if 102 you want to change it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version 103 of `autoconf'. 104 105 The simplest way to compile this package is: 106 107 1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type 108 `./configure' to configure the package for your system. 109 110 Running `configure' might take a while. While running, it prints 111 some messages telling which features it is checking for. 112 113 2. Type `make' to compile the package. 114 115 3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with 116 the package. 117 118 4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and 119 documentation. 120 121 5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the 122 source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the 123 files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for 124 a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is 125 also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly 126 for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get 127 all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came 128 with the distribution. 129 130 6. Often, you can also type `make uninstall' to remove the installed 131 files again. 132 133 Compilers and Options 134 ===================== 135 136 Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that the 137 `configure' script does not know about. Run `./configure --help' for 138 details on some of the pertinent environment variables. 139 140 You can give `configure' initial values for configuration parameters 141 by setting variables in the command line or in the environment. Here 142 is an example: 143 144 ./configure CC=c99 CFLAGS=-g LIBS=-lposix 145 146 *Note Defining Variables::, for more details. 147 148 Compiling For Multiple Architectures 149 ==================================== 150 151 You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the 152 same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their 153 own directory. To do this, you can use GNU `make'. `cd' to the 154 directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run 155 the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the 156 source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'. 157 158 With a non-GNU `make', it is safer to compile the package for one 159 architecture at a time in the source code directory. After you have 160 installed the package for one architecture, use `make distclean' before 161 reconfiguring for another architecture. 162 163 Installation Names 164 ================== 165 166 By default, `make install' installs the package's commands under 167 `/usr/local/bin', include files under `/usr/local/include', etc. You 168 can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving 169 `configure' the option `--prefix=PREFIX'. 170 171 You can specify separate installation prefixes for 172 architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you 173 pass the option `--exec-prefix=PREFIX' to `configure', the package uses 174 PREFIX as the prefix for installing programs and libraries. 175 Documentation and other data files still use the regular prefix. 176 177 In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give 178 options like `--bindir=DIR' to specify different values for particular 179 kinds of files. Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories 180 you can set and what kinds of files go in them. 181 182 If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed 183 with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the 184 option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'. 185 186 Optional Features 187 ================= 188 189 Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to 190 `configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package. 191 They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE 192 is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The 193 `README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the 194 package recognizes. 195 196 For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually 197 find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't, 198 you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and 199 `--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations. 200 201 Specifying the System Type 202 ========================== 203 204 There may be some features `configure' cannot figure out automatically, 205 but needs to determine by the type of machine the package will run on. 206 Usually, assuming the package is built to be run on the _same_ 207 architectures, `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints a 208 message saying it cannot guess the machine type, give it the 209 `--build=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system 210 type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name which has the form: 211 212 CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM 213 214 where SYSTEM can have one of these forms: 215 216 OS KERNEL-OS 217 218 See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If 219 `config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't 220 need to know the machine type. 221 222 If you are _building_ compiler tools for cross-compiling, you should 223 use the option `--target=TYPE' to select the type of system they will 224 produce code for. 225 226 If you want to _use_ a cross compiler, that generates code for a 227 platform different from the build platform, you should specify the 228 "host" platform (i.e., that on which the generated programs will 229 eventually be run) with `--host=TYPE'. 230 231 Sharing Defaults 232 ================ 233 234 If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share, you 235 can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives default 236 values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'. 237 `configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then 238 `PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the 239 `CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script. 240 A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script. 241 242 Defining Variables 243 ================== 244 245 Variables not defined in a site shell script can be set in the 246 environment passed to `configure'. However, some packages may run 247 configure again during the build, and the customized values of these 248 variables may be lost. In order to avoid this problem, you should set 249 them in the `configure' command line, using `VAR=value'. For example: 250 251 ./configure CC=/usr/local2/bin/gcc 252 253 causes the specified `gcc' to be used as the C compiler (unless it is 254 overridden in the site shell script). 255 256 Unfortunately, this technique does not work for `CONFIG_SHELL' due to 257 an Autoconf bug. Until the bug is fixed you can use this workaround: 258 259 CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash /bin/bash ./configure CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash 260 261 `configure' Invocation 262 ====================== 263 264 `configure' recognizes the following options to control how it operates. 265 266 `--help' 267 `-h' 268 Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit. 269 270 `--version' 271 `-V' 272 Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure' 273 script, and exit. 274 275 `--cache-file=FILE' 276 Enable the cache: use and save the results of the tests in FILE, 277 traditionally `config.cache'. FILE defaults to `/dev/null' to 278 disable caching. 279 280 `--config-cache' 281 `-C' 282 Alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'. 283 284 `--quiet' 285 `--silent' 286 `-q' 287 Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. To 288 suppress all normal output, redirect it to `/dev/null' (any error 289 messages will still be shown). 290 291 `--srcdir=DIR' 292 Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually 293 `configure' can determine that directory automatically. 294 295 `configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options. Run 296 `configure --help' for more details. 297
