[6b369e9]11 <title>Creating the $LFS/cross-tools Directory</title>
[3f8be484]12
13 <para>All programs compiled in <xref linkend="chapter-cross-tools"/> will
[6b369e9]14 be installed under <filename class="directory">$LFS/cross-tools</filename>
[3f8be484]15 to keep them separate from the host programs. The programs compiled here are
16 cross tools and will not be a part of the final LFS system. By keeping these
17 programs in a separate directory, they can easily be discarded later after
18 their use.</para>
19
20 <para>Create the required directory by running the following as
[49aadd01]21 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>:</para>
[3f8be484]22
[3c17f8e]23<screen><userinput>install -dv $LFS/cross-tools</userinput></screen>
[3f8be484]24
25 <para>The next step is to create a <filename
26 class="symlink">/cross-tools</filename> symlink on the host system.
[8659630]27 This will point to the newly-created directory on the LFS partition.
28 Run this command as <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> as well:</para>
[3f8be484]29
[3c17f8e]30<screen><userinput>ln -sv $LFS/cross-tools /</userinput></screen>
[3f8be484]31
[6b369e9]32 <para>The created symlink enables the toolchain to be compiled so that
[3f8be484]33 it always refers to <filename class="directory">/cross-tools</filename>,
[8659630]34 meaning that the compiler, assembler, and linker will be available for
[6b369e9]35 use later if some unforseen circumstances happen.</para>
