<para>All programs compiled in <xref
|
|
linkend="chapter-temporary-tools"/> will be installed under <filename
|
|
class="directory">$LFS/tools</filename> to keep them separate from the
|
|
programs compiled in <xref linkend="chapter-building-system"/>. The
|
|
programs compiled here are temporary tools and will not be a part of
|
|
the final LFS system. By keeping these programs in a separate
|
|
directory, they can easily be discarded later after their use. This
|
|
also prevents these programs from ending up in the host production
|
|
directories (easy to do by accident in <xref
|
|
linkend="chapter-temporary-tools"/>).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Create the required directory by running the following as
|
|
<emphasis>root</emphasis>:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>mkdir $LFS/tools</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>The next step is to create a <filename class="symlink">/tools</filename>
|
|
symlink on the host system. This will point to the newly-created directory on
|
|
the LFS partition. Run this command as <emphasis>root</emphasis> as
|
|
well:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>ln -s $LFS/tools /</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<note><para>The above command is correct. The <command>ln</command> command has
|
|
a few syntactic variations, so be sure to check <command>info coreutils ln</command> and
|
|
<filename>ln(1)</filename> before reporting what you may think is an
|
|
error.</para></note>
|
|
|
|
<para>The created symlink enables the toolchain to be compiled so that
|
|
it always refers to <filename class="directory">/tools</filename>,
|
|
meaning that the compiler, assembler, and linker will work both in
|
|
this chapter (when we are still using some tools from the host) and in
|
|
the next (when we are <quote>chrooted</quote> to the LFS
|
|
partition).</para>
