How To Build:

Building is easy, you just issue the following command from the terminal:

make <target-name>

For example, if you desire to build the Raspberry Pi 2 cross-tools:

make rpi2

After the build completes, there will be an archive available in the archives/ directory.

How To Install:

Installing is easy. After you have downloaded the tar.gz archive, extract it with the following command:

tar -zxvf <archive-name>.tar.gz

For example, if you downloaded the latest Raspberry Pi 2 cross-tools:

tar -zxvf rpi2-cross-tools.tar.gz

Now cd into the directory:

cd <cross-tools-directory>

For example, if you extracted the latest Raspberry Pi 2 cross-tools:

cd rpi2-cross-tools

Now, use the install.sh script to install to a directory of your desire:

./install.sh <install-directory>

For example, if you wish to install to the /opt directory:

./install.sh /opt
