  <title>Build Variables</title>

  <para>Setup target specific variables for the compiler
  and linkers:</para>

<screen><userinput>export CC="${LFS_TARGET}-gcc"
export CXX="${LFS_TARGET}-g++"
export AR="${LFS_TARGET}-ar"
export AS="${LFS_TARGET}-as"
export RANLIB="${LFS_TARGET}-ranlib"
export LD="${LFS_TARGET}-ld"
export STRIP="${LFS_TARGET}-strip"</userinput></screen>

  <para>Then add the build variables to <filename>~/.bashrc</filename> to
  prevent issues if you stop and come back later:</para>

<screen><userinput>echo export CC=\""${CC}\"" &gt;&gt; ~/.bashrc
echo export CXX=\""${CXX}\"" &gt;&gt; ~/.bashrc
echo export AR=\""${AR}\"" &gt;&gt; ~/.bashrc
echo export AS=\""${AS}\"" &gt;&gt; ~/.bashrc
