From f4dff765db23e352a544759d2ca3a6a1a3602ac3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rainer Orth Date: Wed, 6 May 2020 10:09:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] doc: Update install.texi for GCC 10 on Solaris This patch updates install.texi for GCC 10 on Solaris. It includes some general cleanup and updates and includes a couple of caveats, some of them found when testing GCC 10.1.0 RC1 with only the bundled tools. The reference to TGCware on the binaries page is gone because they only provide binaries up to Solaris 9. The note about configuring 64-bit Solaris/SPARC compilers with --build=sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11 became necessary because upstream config.guess silently reverted my patch to automatically detect this. We already had a bug report about a comparison failure caused by this issue. Tested with make doc/gccinstall.info and doc/gccinstall.pdf and inspection of the resulting files. * doc/install.texi: Replace Sun with Solaris as appropriate. (Tools/packages necessary for building GCC, Perl version between 5.6.1 and 5.6.24): Remove Solaris 8 reference. (Installing GCC: Binaries, Solaris 2 (SPARC, Intel)): Remove TGCware reference. (Specific, i?86-*-solaris2*): Update version references for Solaris 11.3 and later. Remove gas 2.26 caveat. (Specific, *-*-solaris2*): Update version references for Solaris 11.3 and later. Remove boehm-gc reference. Document GMP, MPFR caveats on Solaris 11.3. (Specific, sparc-sun-solaris2*): Update Solaris 9 references. (Specific, sparc64-*-solaris2*): Likewise.
