# Options related to paths and install comment "Paths" config LOCAL_TARBALLS_DIR string prompt "Local tarballs directory" default "" help If you have previously downloaded the tarballs, enter the PATH where you stored them here. config SAVE_TARBALLS bool prompt "Save new tarballs" default n depends on LOCAL_TARBALLS_DIR != "" help If you say 'y' here, new downloaded tarballs will be saved in the directory you entered above. config WORK_DIR string prompt "Working directory" default "${CT_TOP_DIR}/targets" help Set this to the directory where all build actions will be done. The default is "${CT_TOP_DIR}/targets", and leaving this option empty will also use the default. You should not need to change that, except in one very peculiar setup: - your crosstool-NG source directory is on the network - you configured crosstool-NG with --local This kind of setup is a pain, as any action involving source file access would have to go through the wire. In this case, you should set CT_WORK_DIR to point to a path local to your machine, to avoid any network overhead. Do *NOT* change it if you don't know better. config PREFIX_DIR string prompt "Prefix directory" default "${HOME}/x-tools/${CT_TARGET}" help This is the path the toolchain will run from. config INSTALL_DIR string # prompt "Install directory" default "${CT_PREFIX_DIR}" # help # This is the path the toolchain will be installed into. # # Normally, you would set this to ${CT_PREFIX_DIR}, but if for some reasons # you can't write there, you can install somewhere else and have a third # person do the install for you. # The reason you might also want to install elsewhere is if you are going # to package your shinny new toolchain for distribution. config REMOVE_DOCS bool prompt "Remove documentation" default y help Remove the installed documentation (man and info pages). Gains around 8MiB for a uClibc-based, C and C++ compiler. config INSTALL_DIR_RO bool prompt "Render the toolchain read-only" default y help Render the directory of the toolchain (and its sub-directories) read-only. Usefull for toolchains destined for production.
