GCC Compiler Installation Instructions

This page is to aid in the installation of the TI-990 GCC Compiler. These instructions are preliminary; so, if you have additional problems or comments, please contact me.

To build the compiler from the source distribution

  1. You will need to install the TI 990 cross assembler and linker. Download the compiler source and the libc library.

    asm990-2.0.8
    lnk990-1.4.5
    gcc-3.4.6-ti990-6.tar.gz
    ti990-libc-1.0.1

  2. Create a binary directory in which the compiler will be built.

    $ cd /your_source_dir
    $ mkdir gcc-bin

  3. Extract the sources.

    $ tar xzf gcc-3.4.6-ti990-6.tar.gz
    $ tar xzf asm990-2.0.8.tar.gz
    $ tar xzf lnk990-1.4.5.tar.gz
    $ tar xzf ti990-libc-1.0.1.tar.gz

  4. Make and install the assembler and linker.

    $ cd /your_source_dir/asm990
    $ make
    $ sudo make install
    $ cd /your_source_dir/lnk990
    $ make
    $ sudo make install

  5. Configure the compiler.

    $ cd /your_source_dir/gcc-bin
    $ ../gcc-3.4.6/configure --enable-lanuages=c --with-ld=/usr/local/bin/lnk990 --with-as=/usr/local/bin/asm990 --target=ti990-ti-dx10

  6. Now make the compiler.

    $ make

  7. Install the compiler:

    $ sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/gcc/ti990-ti-dx10/3.4.6
    $ cd /your_source_dir/gcc-bin/gcc
    $ sudo cp cc1 collect2 cpp gcov gcov-dump specs \
    /usr/local/lib/gcc/ti990-ti-dx10/3.4.6/
    $ sudo cp xgcc /usr/local/bin/gcc-ti990

  8. Install the libc libraries and headers:

    $ cd /your_source_dir/ti990-libc
    $ make
    $ sudo make install
