GCC: Anonymous read-only SVN access

- -

Our SVN source repository is available read-only to the public at -large. That way you can pick up any version (including releases) of -GCC that is in our repository.

- -

In addition you can browse -our SVN history online.

- -

(Our web pages are managed via git.)

- - -

Using the SVN repository

- -

Assuming you have version 1.0.0 and higher of -Subversion installed, you can -check out the GCC sources using the following command:

- -

-svn checkout svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk SomeLocalDir -

- -

If you are behind a firewall that does not allow the svn protocol -through, you can replace svn:// with http://. -You may also need to modify your subversion servers file -(~/.subversion/servers) to set http-proxy-host and -http-proxy-port. You should only use the http protocol if -the svn protocol does not work; the http protocol has a higher server -overhead associated with it and will be slower.

- -

There is more information -about Subversion specifically for GCC in the GCC Wiki.

- - - - -

Generated files

- -

Our source tree contains a number of files that are generated -from other source files by build tools such as Bison, Autoconf, and -Gperf. Bison is now required when using SVN to access our sources, -but all other generated files are included in the source tree so that -GCC can be built without these build tools. The SVN checkout and -update operations do not insure that the timestamps of generated files -are later than those of the files they are generated from. The script -contrib/gcc_update updates the timestamps for all these -generated files. See the comments in that script for instructions on -running it.

- -

GCC's build system (in particular Make) uses file timestamps to -determine if a generated file needs to be updated by running a particular -build tool. Because of this, GCC's build system may believe that -a generated file needs regenerating even though its source has not -changed, and require a particular build tool to rebuild that generated -file. If the appropriate build tool is installed on your system, then -this will not be a problem. If you do not intend to make changes to -the source, you can avoid installing these build tools by running -contrib/gcc_update.

- -

There has been some discussion of removing these generated files -from GCC's SVN source tree (there is no discussion of removing them -from the released source tarballs). If that happens then -building GCC from the SVN source tree would require installing -the above mentioned build tools. Installing these build tools is not -particularly difficult, but can be time consuming especially if you -only occasionally install GCC on a particular system.

- -

The build tools that GCC uses are all available from the GNU -Project (see http://www.gnu.org), -are often already available on many systems, and can often be found -already built for some systems. A partial list of these build tools -is: Autoconf, Bison, Xgettext, Automake, and Gperf.

- -

Conflicts when using svn update

- -

It is not uncommon to get svn conflict messages for some generated files -when updating your local sources from the SVN repository. Typically such -conflicts occur with autoconf generated files.

- -

As long as you haven't been making modifications to the generated files -or the generator files, it is safe to delete the offending file, then run -svn update again to get a new copy.

- - -

Branches and Tags

- -

A branch called branchname can be checked out with the -following command:

- -

-svn co svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/branchname gcc -

- -

(The release branch of the GCC SERIES release series -is named gcc-SERIES-branch.)

- - -

Similarly a tag called tagname can be checked out with the -following command:

- -

-svn co svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/tags/tagname gcc -

- -

(The SVN tag for GCC X.Y.Z is of the form -gcc_X_Y_Z_release.)

- - -

The following list provides some representative examples:

- -
    -
  • gcc-5-branch
  • -
  • gcc-4_9-branch
  • -
  • gcc_4_9_3_release
  • -
  • gcc_4_9_2_release
  • -
  • gcc_4_9_1_release
  • -
  • gcc_4_9_0_release
  • -
  • gcc-4_8-branch
  • -
  • gcc-3_4-branch
  • -
- -

To get a list of available branches, use the command:

-
-

-svn ls svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches -

-
- - -

To find out the revision/date at which a branch or tag was created, use -the command svn log --stop-on-copy.
