- Simply adjust the Makefile settings to match your target system,
- and then run 'make'.
+ <p>
+ To build your own uClibc toolchain, follow the following simple
+ steps:
+ <ul>
+ <li> Point your web browser <a href="/cgi-bin/cvsweb/toolchain/">
+ here is you want to build just a toolchain</a>,
+ or <a href="/cgi-bin/cvsweb/buildroot/">here if you want to build a toolchain
+ plus an initial uClibc based root filesystem</a>.
+ <li> Click on "Download tarball"
+ <li> Unpack the tarball on your Linux system somewhere
+ <li> Edit the Makefile as needed if you wish to change anything.
+ <li> run 'unset CC'. Some Linux systems (i.e. Gentoo) set 'CC'
+ in the system environment which messes up cross compiles.
+ <li> run 'make'
+ <li> go have lunch, drink a pop, call a friend, play a video game, etc till it finishes
+ downloading software and compiling things.
+ <li> You should now have a shiny new toolchain.
+ </ul>
