11 <title>Creating the ${CLFS}/cross-tools Directory</title>
12
13 <para>The cross-binutils and cross-compiler built in
14 <xref linkend="chapter-cross-tools"/> will be installed under
15 <filename class="directory">${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>
