%general-entities; ]> Setting Host and Target During the building of the cross-compile tools you will need to set a few variables that will be dependent on your particular needs. The first variable will be the triplet of the HOST machine. You will need to set the CHOST triplet to match your particular needs. To set this information you can issue the following command: export CLFS_HOST="$(echo $MACHTYPE | sed "s/$(echo $MACHTYPE | cut -d- -f2)/cross/")" Now you will need to set the target triplet for the target architecture. You can do this by running the same command as above, just running it on the target machine. If you can't run the command on the target machine, you can use the table at the bottom of this page. Set the command using the method listed below: export CLFS_TARGET="{target tripplet}" Now we will add these to ~/.bashrc, just in case you have to exit and restart building later: echo export CLFS_HOST=\""${CLFS_HOST}\"" >> ~/.bashrc echo export CLFS_TARGET=\""${CLFS_TARGET}\"" >> ~/.bashrc Processor Target Triplet MIPS 32 bits Little Endian mipsel-unknown-linux-uclibc MIPS 32 bits Big Endian mips-unknown-linux-uclibc MIPS 64 bits Little Endian mips64el-unknown-linux-uclibc MIPS 64 bits Big Endian mips64-unknown-linux-uclibc
