1.5 If you have an existing toolchain, you can re-use the options used to build it
1.6 to create a new toolchain. That needs a very little bit of effort on your side
1.7 -but is quite easy. The options to build a toolchain are saved in the build log
1.8 -file that is saved within the toolchain. crosstool-NG can extract those options
1.9 -to recreate a new configuration:
1.10 - ct-ng extractconfig </path/to/your/build.log >.config
1.11 +but is quite easy. The options to build a toolchain are saved with the
1.12 +toolchain, and you can retrieve this configuration by running:
1.13 + ${CT_TARGET}-config
1.14
1.15 -will extract those options, prompt you for the new ones, which you can later
1.16 -edit with menuconfig.
1.17 +This will dump the configuration to stdout, so to rebuild a toolchain with this
1.18 +configuration, the following is all you need to do:
1.19 + ${CT_TARGET}-config >.config
1.20
1.21 -Of course, if your build log was compressed, you'd have to use something like:
1.22 - bzcat /path/to/your/build.log.bz2 |ct-ng extractconfig >.config
1.23 -
1.24 -Then, once the configuration has been extracted, run:
1.25 - ct-ng oldconfig
1.26 +Then, you can review and change the configuration by running:
1.27 + ct-ng menuconfig
