In order to do this you +can use the toolchain that was generated by Buildroot. + +The toolchain generated by Buildroot is located by default in ++output/host/+. The simplest way to use it is to add ++output/host/usr/bin/+ to your PATH environment variable and then to +use +ARCH-linux-gcc+, +ARCH-linux-objdump+, +ARCH-linux-ld+, etc. + +It is possible to relocate the toolchain - but then +--sysroot+ must +be passed every time the compiler is called to tell where the +libraries and header files are. + +It is also possible to generate the Buildroot toolchain in a directory +other than +output/host+ by using the +Build options -> Host dir+ +option. This could be useful if the toolchain must be shared with +other users. |
