If you are targeting an embedded
system, remember to specify the option,
--target=.
The -–target=
value is printed on the CD-ROM or tape you receive from Cygnus Solutions.
It will be a hyphenated string indicating target and output format.
For example, mips64-elf
and powerpc-eabi
would be two such target output formats.
Note:
To build a native toolkit (such as programs which run on an IRIX
5 system and compile programs which run on an IRIX 5), do not
use --target=.
Note For VxWorks Users
To build a cross toolkit with the target board running the VxWorks from Wind River Systems, remember to add the --with-includes= command option to configure. There are header files with your VxWorks distribution.
If the VxWorks tools are in /opt/wrs/vxworks-5.2/, then the header files are probably in /opt/wrs/vxworks-5.2/h.
Note:
Add the --with-includes=/opt/wrs/vxworks-5.2/h
command option when you run configure.
If you do not add this command line option, your toolchain will not work.
