-Installing crosstool-NG /
-________________________/
-
-
-There are two ways you can use crosstool-NG:
- - build and install it, then get rid of the sources like you'd do for most
- programs,
- - or only build it and run from the source directory.
-
-The former should be used if you got crosstool-NG from a packaged tarball, see
-"Install method", below, while the latter is most useful for developers that
-use a clone of the repository, and want to submit patches, see "The Hacker's
-way", below.
-
-
-Install method |
----------------+
-
-If you go for the install, then you just follow the classical, but yet easy
-./configure way:
- ./configure --prefix=/some/place
- make
- make install
- export PATH="${PATH}:/some/place/bin"
-
-You can then get rid of crosstool-NG source. Next create a directory to serve
-as a working place, cd in there and run:
- mkdir work-dir
- cd work-dir
- ct-ng help
-
-See below for complete usage.
-
-
-The Hacker's way |
------------------+
-
-If you go the hacker's way, then the usage is a bit different, although very
-simple. First, you need to generate the ./configure script from its autoconf
-template:
- ./bootstrap
-
-Then, you run ./configure for local execution of crosstool-NG:
- ./configure --enable-local
- make
-
-Now, *do not* remove crosstool-NG sources. They are needed to run crosstool-NG!
-Stay in the directory holding the sources, and run:
- ./ct-ng help
-
-See below for complete usage.
-
-Now, provided you used a clone of the repository, you can send me your changes.
-See the section titled CONTRIBUTING, below, for how to submit changes.
-
-
-Preparing for packaging |
-------------------------+
-
-If you plan on packaging crosstool-NG, you surely don't want to install it
-in your root file system. The install procedure of crosstool-NG honors the
-DESTDIR variable:
-
- ./configure --prefix=/usr
- make
- make DESTDIR=/packaging/place install
-
-
-Shell completion |
------------------+
-
-crosstool-NG comes with a shell script fragment that defines bash-compatible
-completion. That shell fragment is currently not installed automatically, but
-this is planned.
-
-To install the shell script fragment, you have two options:
- - install system-wide, most probably by copying ct-ng.comp into
- /etc/bash_completion.d/
- - install for a single user, by copying ct-ng.comp into ${HOME}/ and
- sourcing this file from your ${HOME}/.bashrc
-
-
-Contributed code |
------------------+
-
-Some people contributed code that couldn't get merged for various reasons. This
-code is available as lzma-compressed patches, in the contrib/ sub-directory.
-These patches are to be applied to the source of crosstool-NG, prior to
-installing, using something like the following:
- lzcat contrib/foobar.patch.lzma |patch -p1
-
-There is no guarantee that a particular contribution applies to the current
-version of crosstool-ng, or that it will work at all. Use contributions at
-your own risk.
