I thought I was doing the right thing for a while, but apparently there are still issues. If I want to build a complete toolchain as a canadian cross, tar it up, and give it to someone else, I have been doing the following for configuring binutils/gcc: ../gcc-svn/gcc/configure --prefix=/tmp/rt/root --with-sysroot=/tmp/rt/root --target=$TARGET Will this combinations of options, after tarring up /tmp/rt/root, allow that tar to be distributed anywhere, untarred into any directory, and run as normal with nothing but a simple change to PATH? I thought it would. I thought I could do this: cd /tmp/rt tar cjf tarfile root --owner 0 --group 0 Then on any system: cd /home/user/opt tar xf tarfile export PATH=/home/user/opt/root/bin:$PATH And finally, use that gcc seemlessly. Will that work?
