11 <title>Creating the ${CLFS}/tools Directory</title>
12
13 <para>All programs compiled in <xref linkend="chapter-temp-system"/>
14 will be installed under <filename class="directory">${CLFS}/tools</filename>
15 to keep them separate from the programs compiled in <xref
16 linkend="chapter-building-system"/>. The programs compiled here are
17 temporary tools and will not be a part of the final CLFS system. By keeping
18 these programs in a separate directory, they can easily be discarded later
19 after their use. This also prevents these programs from ending up in the
20 host production directories (easy to do by accident in <xref
21 linkend="chapter-temp-system"/>).</para>
22
23 <para>Create the required directory by running the following as
24 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>:</para>
25
26<screen><userinput>install -dv ${CLFS}/tools</userinput></screen>
27
28 <para>The next step is to create a <filename class="symlink">/tools</filename>
29 symlink on the host system. This will point to the newly-created directory
30 on the CLFS partition. Run this command as <systemitem
31 class="username">root</systemitem> as well:</para>
32
33<screen><userinput>ln -sv ${CLFS}/tools /</userinput></screen>
34
35 <note>
36 <para>The above command is correct. The <command>ln</command> command
37 has a few syntactic variations, so be sure to check <command>info
38 coreutils ln</command> and <filename>ln(1)</filename> before reporting
39 what you may think is an error.</para>
40 </note>
41
42 <para>The created symlink enables the toolchain to be compiled so that
43 it always refers to <filename class="directory">/tools</filename>,
44 meaning that the compiler, assembler, and linker will work. This will
45 provide a common place for our temporary tools system.</para>
