config LOCAL_TARBALLS_DIR

    string

    prompt "Local tarballs directory" if ! BACKEND

    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" if ! BACKEND

    depends on LOCAL_TARBALLS_DIR != "" || BACKEND

    default y if BACKEND

    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" if ! BACKEND

    default "${CT_TOP_DIR}/.build"

    help

      Set this to the directory where all build actions will be done.

      The default is "${CT_TOP_DIR}/.build", 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" if ! BACKEND

    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 RM_RF_PREFIX_DIR

    bool

    prompt "|  Remove the prefix dir prior to building"

    default y

    depends on !BACKEND

    help

      If you say 'y' here, then PREFIX_DIR (above) will be eradicated

      prior to the toolchain is built.

      This can be useful when you are trying different settings (due

      to build failures or feature tests). In this case, to avoid using

      a potentially broken previous toolchain, the install location is

      removed, to start afresh.

      On the other hand, if you are building a final toolchain, and install

      it into a directory with pre-install, unrelated programs, it would be

      damageable to remove that directory. In this case, you may want to

      say 'n' here.

      Note that when acting as a backend, this option is not available, and

      is forced to 'n'.

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.

      Useful for toolchains destined for production.

config STRIP_ALL_TOOLCHAIN_EXECUTABLES

    bool

    prompt "Strip all toolchain executables"

    default y

    help

      All build host executables contain a lot of unnecessary info.

      By stripping all executables it slightly speeds up the compilation

      of large projects.

      NOTE: It does NOT strip the target libraries, only HOST executables
