Optionally Using an External Toolchain
**************************************
You might want to use an external toolchain as part of your development.
If this is the case, the fundamental steps you need to accomplish are as
follows:
- Understand where the installed toolchain resides. For cases where you
need to build the external toolchain, you would need to take separate
steps to build and install the toolchain.
- Make sure you add the layer that contains the toolchain to your
``bblayers.conf`` file through the
:term:`BBLAYERS` variable.
- Set the ``EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN`` variable in your ``local.conf`` file
to the location in which you installed the toolchain.
A good example of an external toolchain used with the Yocto Project is
Mentor Graphics Sourcery G++ Toolchain. You can see information on how
to use that particular layer in the ``README`` file at
https://github.com/MentorEmbedded/meta-sourcery/. You can find
further information by reading about the
:term:`TCMODE` variable in the Yocto
Project Reference Manual's variable glossary.
