#+TITLE: Building and Installing GNU Mes
Copyright © 2016,2017,2018,2019 Jan (janneke) Nieuwenhuizen <janneke@gnu.org>

Mes can be built in two modes: as a regulare package build or as a
bootstrap package.
After bootstrapping Mes it can be used to bootstrap TinyCC (tcc) in a
similar way.
* Get it
git clone [[git://git.savannah.gnu.org][git://git.savannah.gnu.org/mes.git]]
* Regular build
** Prerequisites
*** Guix
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
guix environment -l guix.scm #64 bit + 32bit
guix environment --system=i686-linux -l guix.scm #32 bit only
guix environment --system=armhf-linux -l guix.scm #32 bit only
#+END_SRC
*** Other GNU/Linux
- [[https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/mescc-tools/][mescc-tools]], 0.7.0 is known to work.
- [[https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/nyacc][Nyacc]], 1.00.2 is known to work.
- GNU Gcc, 7.5.0 is known to work.
- GNU Guile, version 3.0.4 is know to work.
- SH, /bin/sh, GNU Bash 5.0.16 is known to work.
- GNU coreutils
- sed, GNU sed 4.8 is known to work.
- Perl, 5.30 is known to work.
** Build it
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
./configure
make
#+END_SRC
If you get something like
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
mes.c:(.text+0x8da0): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail'
#+END_SRC
then your compiler inserts stack protection code. The Mes C Library
does not support that. Turn it off lik this
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
./configure CFLAGS=-fno-stack-protector
#+END_SRC
** Check it
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
make check
#+END_SRC
** Install it
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
make install
#+END_SRC
* Guix it
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
guix build -f guix.scm
#+END_SRC
* Bootstrap build
The bootstrap build is part of Guix, see
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/commencement.scm
** Prerequisites
- [[https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/mescc-tools/][mescc-tools]], 0.6.1 is known to work.
- [[https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/nyacc][Nyacc]], 0.93.0 is known to work.
** Build it
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
sh configure.sh [--prefix=<prefix>]
sh bootstrap.sh
#+END_SRC
** Check it
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
sh check.sh
#+END_SRC
** Install it
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
sh install.sh
#+END_SRC
* Regular build and bootstrap combine
To build mes.c using MesCC, configure using --with-bootstrap:
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
./configure --with-bootstrap
make
#+END_SRC
This creates bin/mes-gcc and bin/mes-mescc.
