The configure script
|
||
|
|
====================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The configure script is a simple shell script that will set up the required configuration for
|
||
|
|
building Haiku. It does not use autotools or any other similar system, mainly because the Haiku
|
||
|
|
build supports only a limited set of host architectures, and is largely self-contained.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The configure script is also responsible for building the GCC cross-compiler, a compiler that runs
|
||
|
|
on your host machine, but can create executables that will eventually run on Haiku. During later
|
||
|
|
parts of the build, both this and the host compiler will be used, as several tools need to be run
|
||
|
|
on the host machine during the build process.
