+It is possible to relocate the toolchain, this allows to distribute
|
|
|
+the toolchain to other developers to build applications for your
|
|
|
+target. To achieve this:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* run +make sdk+, which prepares the toolchain to be relocatable;
|
|
|
+* tarball the contents of the +output/host+ directory;
|
|
|
+* distribute the resulting tarball.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Once the toolchain is installed to the new location, the user must run
|
|
|
+the +relocate-sdk.sh+ script to make sure all paths are updated with
|
|
|
+the new location.

-It is also possible to generate the Buildroot toolchain in a directory
|
|
|
-other than +output/host+ by using the +Build options -> Host dir+
|
|
|
-option. This could be useful if the toolchain must be shared with
|
|
|
-other users.
