- gcc
Use the highest number for x you found.
Fresco will only build 2.6.3 and later.
I'd tried gcc Version 2.5.8, 2.6.0, 2.6.2, 2.6.3 and 2.7.2.
Current: 2.8.1
Since 2.6.3 the current source tree should be able to compile
with a little bit more Optimization:
#define DefaultCDebugFlags -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer
inside xf86site.def to overwrite the default -O2.
With 2.7.x you must specify
#define UsePosix YES inside xf86site.def.
This is necessary to build the sources successfully.
Versions prior to 2.7.0 could define it, but don't need it for a
clean build.
With 2.8.1 on Pentium CPU we can use special 586 Optimization.
Try the following define inside your host.def.
#define DefaultGcc2i386Opt \
-O2 -march=pentium -mpentium -Wall -Wno-implicit-int \
-fno-strength-reduce
/* default with 2.8.1, so not really needed
-malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2
*/
- libg++-2.x.x
The needed g++ Libraries for use with g++ 2.x.x. As this is only
necessary for Fresco, it isn't needed anymore since X11R6.1.
- binutils
You could use the assembler and linker
the assembler is most preferred,and the linker is needed
at least if you want to link libFresco.a within a Program.
Don't use strip and ar/ranlib, the first generates buggy binaries
when stripping (at least on my machines) and the last requires
the use of ranlib after creating an archive, this is not configured.
Current: 2.8.1.0.15 (Used: as, ld, ar, strip)
- gnu-malloc
Due to better memory usage we should use GNU's malloc library
on systems where possible.
Enable #define UseGnuMalloc YES
inside xf86site.def or within the Linkkit site.def.
Enable and set #define GnuMallocLibrary
to your needs, if it isn't like the default
-L/usr/local/lib -lgmalloc.
- inline-math (optional)
This is the "original" inline-math package available at your
favorite Linux Mirror.
Use #define UseInlineMath YES
inside host.def to enable it. Please note the changes section
what else to do, to use this package.
