/usr/local/amigaos dir

Okay I have a stupid question

First i'm playing around with ubuntu trying to setup a cross compiler..

playing around with adtools .. I see refrence to /usr/local/amigaos so I was wondering what is suposed to be put into that dir?

my bet is it mimic our amiga sdk: dir but i'm not sure

Which astools repo are you using.

We generally use https://github.com/sba1/adtools.

Unless you are trying to make a native distribution (for distribution of the native ppc compiler and tools for others) there is no need for it to be specifically /usr/local/amigaos. For that, actually it goes into /gcc with that folder have non root permissions.

Tldr: use that link. Run gild to get binutils, and gcc. You can specify your output directory by setting your CROSS_PREFIX environment variable.

It's pretty much all in the git hub main page.

If you want to checkout and build the coreutils, then checkout version 5, not 8.

@rwo

The /usr/local hierarchy is for use by the system administrator when installing software locally.

@rjd324

yeah .. I'm trying to follow the instruction on that page

but my full compile fails .. so i'm trying to figure out why

and when I looked at some of the makefiles like this one

https://github.com/sba1/adtools/blob/master/binutils-build/Makefile

I can see its compiled with a prefix too /usr/local/amiga

so I was wonder if it was be course I dident setup up this directory
