I've just recreated my cross-compilation setup for NetSurf (currently on
Ubuntu 10.04, although that's likely to be changing soon), and have been
reading the BUILDING-ROcross documentation supplied in the Docs folder of
the source. I'd like to update that, having had a read of the more generic
build method given in
http://wiki.netsurf-browser.org/Documentation/GettingCoding
but am a little concerned that I've missed the point of one of the steps.
The Wiki page advises setting up the $PREFIX as follows
export PREFIX=${HOME}/netsurf/workspace/inst
Is there any specific reason for doing it this way in a cross-compilation
environment, which I've missed? Given that I then had to manually install
the libraries from workspace/inst into the GCCSDK structure, could that be
replaced by
export PREFIX=$GCCSDK_INSTALL_ENV
or would doing so break some other aspect of the new build structure that
expects the files to also be in workspace/inst?
