[9cb6b64]11 <title>Creating the $CLFS/cross-tools Directory</title>
[bf8c11f]12
[8ca6da6]13 <para>The cross-binutils and cross-compiler built in
14 <xref linkend="chapter-cross-tools"/> will be installed under
[9cb6b64]15 <filename class="directory">$CLFS/cross-tools</filename> to keep them
[d6bbc965]16 separate from the host programs. The programs compiled here are
[8ca6da6]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>
[bf8c11f]20
21 <para>Create the required directory by running the following as
[bdc79fd]22 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>:</para>
[bf8c11f]23
[9cb6b64]24<screen><userinput>install -dv $CLFS/cross-tools</userinput></screen>
[bf8c11f]25
26 <para>The next step is to create a <filename
27 class="symlink">/cross-tools</filename> symlink on the host system.
[8ca6da6]28 This will point to the newly-created directory on the CLFS partition.
[ed3e5d8]29 Run this command as <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> as well:</para>
[bf8c11f]30
[9cb6b64]31<screen><userinput>ln -sv $CLFS/cross-tools /</userinput></screen>
[bf8c11f]32
[5cafa13]33 <para>The symlink isn't technically necessary (though the book's
34 instructions do assume its existence), but is there mainly for
[9cb6b64]35 consistency (because /tools is also symlinked to $CLFS/tools) and to
[8ca6da6]36 simplify the installation of the cross-compile tools.</para>
