---|
12 | |
---|
13 | <para>The cross-binutils and cross-compiler built in |
---|
14 | <xref linkend="chapter-cross-tools"/> will be installed under |
---|
15 | <filename class="directory">${CLFS}/cross-tools</filename> to keep them |
---|
16 | separate from the host programs. The programs compiled here are |
---|
17 | cross-tools and will not be a part of the final CLFS system or the |
---|
18 | temp-system. By keeping these programs in a separate directory, they |
---|
19 | can easily be discarded later after their use.</para> |
---|
20 | |
---|
21 | <para>Create the required directory by running the following as |
---|
22 | <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>:</para> |
---|
23 | |
---|
24 | <screen><userinput>install -dv ${CLFS}/cross-tools</userinput></screen> |
---|
25 | |
---|
26 | <para>The next step is to create a <filename |
---|
27 | class="symlink">/cross-tools</filename> symlink on the host system. |
---|
28 | This will point to the newly-created directory on the CLFS partition. |
---|
29 | Run this command as <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> as well:</para> |
---|
30 | |
---|
31 | <screen><userinput>ln -sv ${CLFS}/cross-tools /</userinput></screen> |
---|
32 | |
---|
33 | <para>The symlink isn't technically necessary (though the book's |
---|
34 | instructions do assume its existence), but is there mainly for |
---|
35 | consistency (because /tools is also symlinked to ${CLFS}/tools) and to |
---|
36 | simplify the installation of the cross-compile tools.</para> |
