Cross-Compiled Linux From Scratch - Version 2.0.0-Sparc

Chapter 10. Installing Basic System Software

10.12. PPL-0.12.1

The Parma Polyhedra Library (PPL) provides numerical abstractions especially targeted at applications in the field of analysis and verification of complex systems. CLooG-PPL requires this library.

10.12.1. Installation of PPL

Prepare PPL for compilation: 

CPPFLAGS=-fexceptions CC="gcc -isystem /usr/include" \
CXX="g++ -isystem /usr/include" \
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath-link,/usr/lib:/lib" \
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared \
    --disable-optimization

Compile the package:
