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
• Newer GNU Make (default one in macOS will probably not work)

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.
