<title>Using the Command Line</title>
<para>
Recall that earlier the manual discussed how to use an existing toolchain
tarball that had been installed into <filename>/opt/poky</filename>,
which is outside of the Yocto Project build tree
(see the section "<link linkend='using-an-existing-toolchain-tarball'>Using an Existing
Toolchain Tarball)</link>".
And, that sourcing your architecture-specific environment setup script
initializes a suitable cross-toolchain development environment.
During the setup, locations for the compiler, QEMU scripts, QEMU binary,
a special version of <filename>pkgconfig</filename> and other useful
utilities are added to the <filename>PATH</filename> variable.
Variables to assist <filename>pkgconfig</filename> and <filename>autotools</filename>
are also defined so that,
for example, <filename>configure.sh</filename> can find pre-generated
test results for tests that need target hardware on which to run.
These conditions allow you to easily use the toolchain outside of the
Yocto Project build environment on both autotools-based projects and
Makefile-based projects.

<title>Autotools-Based Projects</title>
<para>
For an Autotools-based project, you can use the cross-toolchain by just
passing the appropriate host option to <filename>configure.sh</filename>.
The host option you use is derived from the name of the environment setup
script in <filename>/opt/poky</filename> resulting from unpacking the
cross-toolchain tarball.
For example, the host option for an ARM-based target that uses the GNU EABI
is <filename>armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi</filename>.
Note that the name of the script is
<filename>environment-setup-armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi</filename>.
Thus, the following command works:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
$ configure --host=armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi \
--with-libtool-sysroot=&lt;sysroot-dir&gt;
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
This single command updates your project and rebuilds it using the appropriate
cross-toolchain tools.
</para>
<note>
If <filename>configure</filename> script results in problems recognizing the
<filename>--with-libtool-sysroot=&lt;sysroot-dir&gt;</filename> option,
regenerate the script to enable the support by doing the following and then
re-running the script:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
$ libtoolize --automake
$ aclocal -I ${OECORE_NATIVE_SYSROOT}/usr/share/aclocal \
[-I &lt;dir_containing_your_project-specific_m4_macros&gt;]
$ autoconf
$ autoheader
$ automake -a
</literallayout>
</note>
</section>
<section id='makefile-based-projects'>
<title>Makefile-Based Projects</title>
<para>
For a Makefile-based project, you use the cross-toolchain by making sure
the tools are used.
You can do this as follows:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
CC=arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc
LD=arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-ld
CFLAGS=”${CFLAGS} --sysroot=&lt;sysroot-dir&gt;
CXXFLAGS=”${CXXFLAGS} --sysroot=&lt;sysroot-dir&gt;
</literallayout>
</para>
