It permits applications to use the -same routines to process object files regardless of their format. - -BFD is used by the GNU debugger, assembler, linker, and the binary -utilities. - -The documentation on using BFD is scanty and may be occasionally -incorrect. Pointers to documentation problems, or an entirely -rewritten manual, would be appreciated. - -There is some BFD internals documentation in doc/bfdint.texi which may -help programmers who want to modify BFD. - -BFD is normally built as part of another package. See the build -instructions for that package, probably in a README file in the -appropriate directory. - -BFD supports the following configure options: - - --target=TARGET - The default target for which to build the library. TARGET is - a configuration target triplet, such as sparc-sun-solaris. - --enable-targets=TARGET,TARGET,TARGET... - Additional targets the library should support. To include - support for all known targets, use --enable-targets=all. - --enable-64-bit-bfd - Include support for 64 bit targets. This is automatically - turned on if you explicitly request a 64 bit target, but not - for --enable-targets=all. This requires a compiler with a 64 - bit integer type, such as gcc. - --enable-shared - Build BFD as a shared library. - --with-mmap - Use mmap when accessing files. This is faster on some hosts, - but slower on others. It may not work on all hosts. - -Report bugs with BFD to bug-binutils@gnu.org. - -Patches are encouraged. When sending patches, always send the output -of diff -u or diff -c from the original file to the new file. Do not -send default diff output. Do not make the diff from the new file to -the original file. Remember that any patch must not break other -systems. Remember that BFD must support cross compilation from any -host to any target, so patches which use ``#ifdef HOST'' are not -acceptable. Please also read the ``Reporting Bugs'' section of the -gcc manual. - -Bug reports without patches will be remembered, but they may never get -fixed until somebody volunteers to fix them. |
