Installing and using a precompiled toolchain

• Follow the installation procedure proposed by the vendor

• Usually, it is simply a matter of extracting a tarball at the proper place

• • Toolchains used to not be relocatable! You must install them in the location they were built for.
  • This is no longer true with gcc 4.x, thanks to sysroot support, but it is still more convenient to install them at the proper place.

• Then, add the path to toolchain binaries in your PATH: export PATH=/path/to/toolchain/bin/:$PATH
