37 | For example, the host option for an ARM-based target that uses the GNU EABI | 37 | |
38 | is <filename>armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi</filename>. | 38 | <section id='creating-and-running-a-project-based-on-gnu-autotools'> |

84 | Installation of the cross-toolchain creates a cross-toolchain | ||

86 | Before you can use the tools to develop your project, you must | ||

88 | The script begins with the string "environment-setup" and contains | ||
89 | the machine architecture, which is followed by the string | ||

91 | Here is an example for an environment setup using the | ||

156 | <title>Passing Host Options</title> | ||
157 | |||
158 | <para> | ||
159 | For an Autotools-based project, you can use the cross-toolchain by just | ||
160 | passing the appropriate host option to <filename>configure.sh</filename>. | ||
161 | The host option you use is derived from the name of the environment setup | ||
162 | script in <filename>/opt/poky</filename> resulting from installation of the | ||
163 | cross-toolchain tarball. | ||
164 | For example, the host option for an ARM-based target that uses the GNU EABI | ||
165 | is <filename>armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi</filename>. | ||
166 | You will notice that the name of the script is | ||
167 | <filename>environment-setup-armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi</filename>. | ||
168 | Thus, the following command works: | ||
169 | <literallayout class='monospaced'> | ||
43 | $ configure --host=armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi \ | 170 | $ configure --host=armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi \ |
