the toolchain installer + whose name includes the appropriate target architecture. + The toolchains provided by the Yocto Project are based off of + the <filename>core-image-sato</filename> image and

x86 target, go into the <filename>x86_64</filename> + folder and download the following installer: + <literallayout class='monospaced'> + poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-sato-i586-toolchain-&DISTRO;.sh +

url='&YOCTO_DOCS_QS_URL;#qs-building-images'>Building Images</ulink>" + section in the Yocto Project Quick Start for steps that show you + how to set up the Yocto Project environment. + In particular, you need to be sure the + <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-MACHINE'><filename>MACHINE</filename></ulink> + variable matches the architecture for which you are building and that + the + <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SDKMACHINE'><filename>SDKMACHINE</filename></ulink> + variable is correctly set if you are building a toolchain designed to + run on an architecture that differs from your current development host + machine (i.e. the build machine). + </para> + + <para> + To build the toolchain installer for a standard SDK and populate + the SDK image, use the following command: + <literallayout class='monospaced'> + $ bitbake <replaceable>image</replaceable> -c populate_sdk + </literallayout> + You can do the same for the extensible SDK using this command: + <literallayout class='monospaced'> + $ bitbake <replaceable>image</replaceable> -c populate_sdk_ext + </literallayout> + These commands result in a toolchain installer that contains the sysroot + that matches your

Directory. + <note> + By default, this toolchain does not build static binaries. + If you want to use the toolchain to build these types of libraries, + you need to be sure your image has the appropriate static + development libraries. + Use the + <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-IMAGE_INSTALL'><filename>IMAGE_INSTALL</filename></ulink> + variable inside your <filename>local.conf</filename> file to + install the appropriate library packages. + Following is an example using <filename>glibc</filename> static + development libraries: + <literallayout
