What to call the tools for m68k
Cross-development tools in the GNUPro Toolkit are normally installed with
names that reflect the target machine, so that you can install more than one set of
tools in the same binary directory. The target name, constructed with the ‘--target’ option to configure, is used as a prefix to the program name. For example, the compiler for the
Motorola m68k (called simply gcc in native configurations) is called, depending on which configuration you
have installed, by m68k-coff-gcc or m68k-aout-gcc.
The
m68k-configured gdb is called by m68k-coff-gdb or m68k-aout-gdb.
For DOS-hosted toolchains, the tools are simply called by their standard names, such
as
gcc, gdb, etc.
