(kind of, sort of a followup from my earlier post.) short question: WRT to the crosstool build process, what is the rationale for the directory identified by ${PREFIX}/${TARGET}? long form: working my way thru the crosstool code, i'm trying to understand the layout of a build's "results" directory. using my example again, i get a results directory with the structure: results/ gcc-4.0.1-glibc-2.3.5/ TOOLCOMBO sh3-unknown-linux-gnu/ TARGET ... the actual toolchain and intermediate stuff here ... with the variable PREFIX=<results dir>/${TOOLCOMBO}/${TARGET} fair enough thus far but it's not clear why there's yet *another* subdirectory there with the name: ${PREFIX}/${TARGET} which means the directory "sh3-unknown-linux-gnu" has a subdirectory with the same name, which would seem kind of redundant. normally (at least based on my reading of yaghmour's book), the ${TARGET} variable is used to distinguish between different architecture builds. but that's already been done here -- the ${PREFIX} variable *already* incorporates all of the information about the software components and the target system. so why have yet another subdirectory named ${TARGET}? i can see from the script crosstool.sh that that directory is used to hold the SYSROOT for the build, among other things. but what else is it for? is there a one or two line description as to what part that directory plays in the build process? thanks. sorry if the answer is obvious and i just missed it. rday ------ Want more information?
