Using the toolchain /
____________________/
Using the toolchain is as simple as adding the toolchain's bin directory in
your PATH, such as:
export PATH="${PATH}:/your/toolchain/path/bin"
and then using the target triplet to tell the build systems to use your
toolchain:
./configure --target=your-target-triplet
make CC=your-target-triplet-gcc
make CROSS_COMPILE=your-target-triplet-
and so on...
When your root directory is ready, it is still missing some important bits: the
toolchain's libraries. To populate your root directory with those libs, just
run:
your-target-triplet-populate -s /your/root -d /your/root-populated
This will copy /your/root into /your/root-populated, and put the needed and only
the needed libraries there. Thus you don't polute /your/root with any cruft that
would no longer be needed should you have to remove stuff. /your/root always
contains only those things you install in it.
You can then use /your/root-populated to build up your file system image, a
tarball, or to NFS-mount it from your target, or whatever you need.
