Very simple query which I hope someone could address for me:
When I compile, build and install GCC (to use it later on in chrooted
environment) and specify the --prefix as, say
${HOME}/gcc-test/install/install-{TARGET}, what effect, if any, that
would have if I am later on chrooting to ${HOME}/gcc-test/install in
order to compile, build and install the rest of the software in the
(then) /install-{TARGET} and use the same GCC (which will reside in
/install-{TARGET}/bin instead of
${HOME}/gcc-test/install/install-{TARGET}/bin when I initially built and
installed GCC) and would this also affect how GCC will look for its
library files?
If so and it *does* affect GCC, how could this be avoided? I was
thinking of making a symlink (as root) - "ln -s /install-{TARGET}
${HOME}/gcc-test/install/install-{TARGET}" before chrooting and then
compile, build and install GCC by specifying --prefix=/install-{TARGET}
which will, hopefully, use the symlink to the real
${HOME}/gcc-test/install/install-{TARGET} directory and when I later on
chroot to ${HOME}/gcc-test/install/ GCC won't be affected.
Is there a better solution to this (that is provided GCC *is* affected
by the --prefix, which I am not certain of!)? Many thanks in advance!
