Usage

CMake

When you build a CMake project in command line, assign CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE with toolchain file.

cmake -B build -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/path/to/extracted/tarball/arm-webos-linux-gnueabi_sdk-buildroot/share/buildroot/toolchainfile.cmake

For VSCode CMake Tools, add entry in Kit options:

[
  {
    "name": "webOS",
    "toolchainFile": "/path/to/extracted/tarball/arm-webos-linux-gnueabi_sdk-buildroot/share/buildroot/toolchainfile.cmake"
  }
]

Advanced Usage Guide: Building the Port

If your machine is not included, you can build it on your local machine. Normally, you don't need to do this!

Prerequisites

• GCC
• CMake

Build Toolchain Port

Please set CC and CXX environment variable to binary of GCC you have installed. If your LANG environment variable is not en_US.UTF-8, please set to that.

cmake -E make_directory build
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install/location
cmake --build build 
cmake --install build # Ensure you have write permission to the prefix you set

Then the toolchain will be installed to the location you want automatically.
