What
to call the tools for MIPS
Cross-development tools
in the GNUPro Toolkit are normally installed with names that reflect the
target machine, so that you can install more than one set of tools in the
same binary directory. The target name, constructed with the --target
option to configure,
is used as a prefix to the program name. For example, the compiler for
the IDT/MIPS (called simply gcc
in native configurations) is called by one of the following names, in which
the output file format is dependent on which configuration you have installed
(ELF, COFF, ECOFF). In the following
examples, elf is used for the output file format; substitute COFF
or ECOFF (coff or ecoff) for elf.
mips-elf-gcc
If configured for big-endian
byte ordering.
mipsel-elf-gcc
If configured for little
endian byte ordering.
Likewise, the MIPS-configured
GDB is called by the name, mips-elf-gdb.
For DOS-hosted toolchains,
the tools are simply called by their standard names, such as gcc,
gdb,
etc.
