In certain circumstances, removing the destination/installation directory is a bad idea. For example, when the build environment is already taking care of sanitising the build tree, and pre-installs stuff in there, it is a very bad idea to remove the destination directory. This happens now in buildroot, as the crostool-NG backend now installs the toolchain in the common host-tools directory, and pre-install there a few host-utilities (eg. host-automake and host-gawk). Provide a config knob to turn on/off the removal of the destination directory, defaulting to 'y' (previous behavior), and forced to 'n' when used as a backend.

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.

help
|

If you say 'y' here, then PREFIX_DIR (above) will be eradicated
|
|
prior to the toolchain is built.
|
|
|
|
This can be usefull 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 oher 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'.
