Configuring
the install
location
The --prefix= option specifies the base installation path for the entire toolkit. In the following descriptions, the name of your current GNUPro software release is written in italics as release_name.
GNUPro binaries are typically located in /usr/cygnus/release_name.
So, to rebuild the GNUPro Toolkit for a Solaris system and install it in the same location as the Cygnus binaries, use the following input.
--exec-prefix=/usr/cygnus/release_name/H-sparc-sun-solaris2--exec-prefix= is useful for sites with multiple host architectures in a networked, shared file system.
The values of both --prefix= and --exec-prefix= must be absolute pathnames. The correct --exec-prefix= value for your release is /usr/cygnus/release_name/H-hostspec. See Multiple host builds.
