Using this package
==================

This is just an example package made by make-cross, for people who like
to have everything in the system installed via dpkg. If this package does
not suit your needs "as is", just download the source, and make your own
make-cross-derived package.

In addition to this "cheap" cross-compiler, you will need the GNU/Hurd
libraries and include files, which are supposed to be in /usr/i386-gnu/lib
and /usr/i386-gnu/include. Moreover, you need to have the native GNU/Hurd
compiler installed as well.

This package does no longer assume that you have your GNU/Hurd
partition mounted on the /gnu directory, so if it's really there where
you have it, make symlinks in /usr/i386-gnu for lib and include.

There are two ways of using this package:

1) By changing the PATH

PATH=/usr/i386-gnu/bin:$PATH

and using the ordinary compiler names (gcc, g++, etc.).

2) By defining the required variables

CC=i386-gnu-gcc

and using them via Makefiles and such, without having to change the PATH.


If you are not only going to cross-compile things but also want to create
Debian packages, using the `dpkg-cross' package is encouraged.
