33.2.2 Building

Armed with a working cross-compiler CC and a script HOSTSH that invokes commands and executables on the host side the configure invocation is simple:

./configure –prefix=[PREFIX_PATH_ON_TARGET] –hostsh=[HOSTSH] –cc=[CC]

Other configuration options are of course possible too.

Once the configuration has finished one can build Bigloo (and its library) simply by calling make. This will build the libraries as well as the binaries.

If shared libraries are needed on the host platform one still needs to install them. The easiest way is probably to install them temporary on a build system inside a special directory and then copy them from there to the host system.

make DESTDIR=[temporary-directory] install

Only the lib directory is needed on the host side.
