Cross compiler installation layout.

[Paul Chavent]

Hi.

I try to explain each directory created when i have done make install.

I do a cross tool chain with binutils/gcc/eglibc/insight.

The host/target triplet for binutils/gcc/insight are :
BUILD  =x86_64-cross-linux-gnu
HOST   =x86_64-cross-linux-gnu
TARGET =i686-unknown-linux-gnu

The ones for eglibc are :
BUILD =x86_64-cross-linux-gnu
HOST  =i686-unknown-linux-gnu


bin                # host (ELF 64-bit) i686-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc, ...
i686-unknown-linux-gnu
   bin              # host (ELF 64-bit) ar, as, c++, ...
   include
   lib              # target (ELF 32-bit) libgcc, libssp, ...
   sys-root         # target "root"
     etc
     lib
     sbin
     usr
include
info
lib
lib64
libexec
man
share
x86_64-cross-linux-gnu
   i686-unknown-linux-gnu
     include
     lib           # host (ELF 64-bit) libbfd, libopcode


For example :
- why i686-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libgcc is not in
i686-unknown-linux-gnu/sys-root/lib/libgcc ?
- why i686-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/gcc is so far from
x86_64-cross-linux-gnu/i686-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libbfd ?

I don't find any explain to this scattering.

Perhaps i have mistaken in my configure option (i can send them if it
can help).


Please help me to understand.

Regards.

Paul.
