==== Using the generated toolchain outside Buildroot
|
|
|
|
You may want to compile, for your target, your own programs or other
|
|
software that are not packaged in Buildroot. In order to do this you
|
|
can use the toolchain that was generated by Buildroot.
|
|
|
|
The toolchain generated by Buildroot is located by default in
|
|
+output/host/+. The simplest way to use it is to add
|
|
+output/host/bin/+ to your PATH environment variable and then to
|
|
use +ARCH-linux-gcc+, +ARCH-linux-objdump+, +ARCH-linux-ld+, etc.
|
|
|
|
It is possible to relocate the toolchain, this allows to distribute
|
|
the toolchain to other developers to build applications for your
|
|
target. To achieve this:
|
|
|
|
* run +make sdk+, which prepares the toolchain to be relocatable;
|
|
* tarball the contents of the +output/host+ directory;
|
|
* distribute the resulting tarball.
|
|
|
|
Once the toolchain is installed to the new location, the user must run
|
|
the +relocate-sdk.sh+ script to make sure all paths are updated with
|
|
the new location.
