* docs: add a status for know issuesYann E. MORIN"2011-04-071-0/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | As time passes, a known issues can be no longer applicable (because the component has been fixed, or a workaround ahs been added in the crosstool-NG scripts/config...). Some may also be unconfirmed, with no way to easily trigger the error, or applies to old versions of components... Add a status for every known issues. Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr>

* docs: add an in-depth explanations of the build stepsYann E. MORIN"2011-02-241-0/+257
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The build process is quite complex: gcc is built three times, there are two C library steps, there are those companion libraries... People often wonder what all these steps do, and why they are needed. Recently, someone proposed a tutorial on the crossgcc mailing list: http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2011-01/msg00059.html This meant that there was a need for such a tutorial, and explanations on how a toolchain is built. So i decide to extend my answers: http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2011-01/msg00060.html http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2011-01/msg00125.html into proper documentation in crosstool-NG. Thanks go to Francesco for suggesting this. He has a fine tutorial for beginners there: http://fturco.org/wiki/doku.php?id=debian:cross-compiler Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

* config: add an option to name the sysroot directoryYann E. MORIN"2011-01-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Depending on local policies, some users have expressed a need to have the sysroot be named differently than the hard-coded name. Add an option for that. Default to 'sysroot' to match the existing literature. While at it, replace 'sys-root' with 'sysroot' everywhere we reference the sysroot.

| | | | | When using an environment variable to set a config entry, don'twarn if it is not defined. Update doc accordingly.
* config: prepare for build-system backendYann E. MORIN"2010-03-051-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When acting as a backend for a build-system, we should not build any application that runs on the target, that is: - no native gdb - no companion libraries - no binutils libraries - no debug tools (save for gdbserver) - ... Here, we simply prepare the (hidden) config option that will detect that we are acting as a back-end. Update doc accordingly.
* scripts: add action to extract config from a build.log fileYann E. MORIN"2010-02-111-4/+13
| | | | | That got removed quite some time ago, but is really usefull to get the configuration from a build.log file of a failing build.
* docs: do not document CT_KERNEL_ARCH, it's going away...Yann E. MORIN"2010-01-231-11/+0
| | | | | Since we merged the 32/64-bit archs, and we explicitly used the Linux kernel arch name, we can get rid of CT_KERNEL_ARCH.
