Has anyone created a binary distribution for easy installation on another host. I have successfully built binutils, gcc, gdb and insight and wish to package the binaries in a form that can be installed on other hosts without rebuilding the sources. I suspect that perhaps using "make install" can be used for this purpose but I'm not sure if ther are options for specifying prefix, etc. Is it a reasonable approach to install the packages in a temporary directory, tar them, move them to the desired host and untar them in the default directory. When building the tools, I used the default prefix of /usr/local. If anyonce can advise, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
John
