2.1.30 --configure_sysroot=path
This option specifies the system root path to use when configuring RVCT for use with
ARM Linux.
Syntax
--configure_sysroot=path
Where path is the system root path to use.
Usage
This option overrides any system root path that is automatically detected. It can be used
as part of a manual approach to configuring RVCT for use with ARM Linux, if you want
to use a different path to your normal system root path.
The system root path is the base path that libraries and header files are normally found
from. On a standard Linux system, this is typically the root of the filesystem. In a cross
compilation GNU toolchain, it is usually the parent directory of the GNU C library
installation. This directory contains the lib, usr/lib, and usr/include subdirectories
that hold the C libraries and header files.
