Next create a directory to serve -as a working place, cd in there and run: - mkdir work-dir - cd work-dir - ct-ng help - -See below for complete usage. - - -The Hacker's way | ------------------+ - -If you go the hacker's way, then the usage is a bit different, although very -simple. First, you need to generate the ./configure script from its autoconf -template: - ./bootstrap - -Then, you run ./configure for local execution of crosstool-NG: - ./configure --enable-local - make - -Now, *do not* remove crosstool-NG sources. They are needed to run crosstool-NG! -Stay in the directory holding the sources, and run: - ./ct-ng help - -See below for complete usage. - -Now, provided you used a clone of the repository, you can send me your changes. -See the section titled CONTRIBUTING, below, for how to submit changes. - - -Preparing for packaging | -------------------------+ - -If you plan on packaging crosstool-NG, you surely don't want to install it -in your root file system. The install procedure of crosstool-NG honors the -DESTDIR variable: - - ./configure --prefix=/usr - make - make DESTDIR=/packaging/place install - - -Shell completion | ------------------+ - -crosstool-NG comes with a shell script fragment that defines bash-compatible -completion. That shell fragment is currently not installed automatically, but -this is planned. - -To install the shell script fragment, you have two options: - - install system-wide, most probably by copying ct-ng.comp into - /etc/bash_completion.d/ - - install for a single user, by copying ct-ng.comp into ${HOME}/ and - sourcing this file from your ${HOME}/.bashrc - - -Contributed code | ------------------+ - -Some people contributed code that couldn't get merged for various reasons. This -code is available as lzma-compressed patches, in the contrib/ sub-directory. -These patches are to be applied to the source of crosstool-NG, prior to -installing, using something like the following: - lzcat contrib/foobar.patch.lzma |patch -p1 - -There is no guarantee that a particular contribution applies to the current -version of crosstool-ng, or that it will work at all. Use contributions at -your own risk. |
