+Using the SDK Toolchain Directly
+********************************
+
+You can use the SDK toolchain directly with Makefile and Autotools-based
+projects.
+
+Autotools-Based Projects
+========================
+
+Once you have a suitable :ref:`sdk-manual/intro:the cross-development toolchain`
+installed, it is very easy to develop a project using the `GNU
+Autotools-based <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Build_System>`__
+workflow, which is outside of the :term:`OpenEmbedded Build System`.
+
+The following figure presents a simple Autotools workflow.
+
+.. image:: figures/sdk-autotools-flow.png
+   :align: center
+
+Follow these steps to create a simple Autotools-based "Hello World"
+project:
+
+.. note::
+
+   For more information on the GNU Autotools workflow, see the same
+   example on the
+   GNOME Developer
+   site.
+
+1. *Create a Working Directory and Populate It:* Create a clean
+   directory for your project and then make that directory your working
+   location.
+   ::
+
+      $ mkdir $HOME/helloworld
+      $ cd $HOME/helloworld
+
+   After setting up the directory, populate it with files needed for the flow.
+   You need a project source file, a file to help with configuration,
+   and a file to help create the Makefile, and a README file:
+   ``hello.c``, ``configure.ac``, ``Makefile.am``, and ``README``,
+   respectively.
+
+   Use the following command to create an empty README file, which is
+   required by GNU Coding Standards:
+   ::
+
+      $ touch README
+
+   Create the remaining
+   three files as follows:
+
+   -  ``hello.c``:
+      ::
+
+         #include <stdio.h>
+
+         main()
+             {
+                 printf("Hello World!\n");
+             }
+
+   -  ``configure.ac``:
+      ::
+
+         AC_INIT(hello,0.1)
+         AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign])
+         AC_PROG_CC
+         AC_CONFIG_FILES(Makefile)
+         AC_OUTPUT
+
+   -  ``Makefile.am``:
+      ::
+
+         bin_PROGRAMS = hello
+         hello_SOURCES = hello.c
+
+2. *Source the Cross-Toolchain Environment Setup File:* As described
+   earlier in the manual, installing the cross-toolchain creates a
+   cross-toolchain environment setup script in the directory that the
+   SDK was installed. Before you can use the tools to develop your
+   project, you must source this setup script. The script begins with
+   the string "environment-setup" and contains the machine architecture,
+   which is followed by the string "poky-linux". For this example, the
+   command sources a script from the default SDK installation directory
+   that uses the 32-bit Intel x86 Architecture and the &DISTRO; Yocto
+   Project release:
+   ::
+
+      $ source /opt/poky/&DISTRO;/environment-setup-i586-poky-linux
+
+3. *Create the configure Script:* Use the ``autoreconf`` command to
+   generate the ``configure`` script.
+   ::
+
+      $ autoreconf
+
+   The ``autoreconf``
+   tool takes care of running the other Autotools such as ``aclocal``,
+   ``autoconf``, and ``automake``.
+
+   .. note::
+
+      If you get errors from
+      configure.ac
+      , which
+      autoreconf
+      runs, that indicate missing files, you can use the "-i" option,
+      which ensures missing auxiliary files are copied to the build
+      host.
+
+4. *Cross-Compile the Project:* This command compiles the project using
+   the cross-compiler. The
+   :term:`CONFIGURE_FLAGS`
+   environment variable provides the minimal arguments for GNU
+   configure:
+   ::
+
+      $ ./configure ${CONFIGURE_FLAGS}
+
+   For an Autotools-based
+   project, you can use the cross-toolchain by just passing the
+   appropriate host option to ``configure.sh``. The host option you use
+   is derived from the name of the environment setup script found in the
+   directory in which you installed the cross-toolchain. For example,
+   the host option for an ARM-based target that uses the GNU EABI is
+   ``armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi``. You will notice that the name of the
+   script is ``environment-setup-armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi``. Thus, the
+   following command works to update your project and rebuild it using
+   the appropriate cross-toolchain tools:
+   ::
+
+     $ ./configure --host=armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi --with-libtool-sysroot=sysroot_dir
+
+5. *Make and Install the Project:* These two commands generate and
+   install the project into the destination directory:
+   ::
+
+      $ make
+      $ make install DESTDIR=./tmp
+
+   .. note::
+
+      To learn about environment variables established when you run the
+      cross-toolchain environment setup script and how they are used or
+      overridden when the Makefile, see the "
+      Makefile-Based Projects
+      " section.
+
+   This next command is a simple way to verify the installation of your
+   project. Running the command prints the architecture on which the
+   binary file can run. This architecture should be the same
+   architecture that the installed cross-toolchain supports.
+   ::
+
+      $ file ./tmp/usr/local/bin/hello
+
+6. *Execute Your Project:* To execute the project, you would need to run
+   it on your target hardware. If your target hardware happens to be
+   your build host, you could run the project as follows:
+   ::
+
+      $ ./tmp/usr/local/bin/hello
+
+   As expected, the project displays the "Hello World!" message.
+
+Makefile-Based Projects
+=======================
+
+Simple Makefile-based projects use and interact with the cross-toolchain
+environment variables established when you run the cross-toolchain
+environment setup script. The environment variables are subject to
+general ``make`` rules.
+
+This section presents a simple Makefile development flow and provides an
+example that lets you see how you can use cross-toolchain environment
+variables and Makefile variables during development.
+
+.. image:: figures/sdk-makefile-flow.png
+   :align: center
+
+The main point of this section is to explain the following three cases
+regarding variable behavior:
+
+-  *Case 1 - No Variables Set in the Makefile Map to Equivalent
+   Environment Variables Set in the SDK Setup Script:* Because matching
+   variables are not specifically set in the ``Makefile``, the variables
+   retain their values based on the environment setup script.
+
+-  *Case 2 - Variables Are Set in the Makefile that Map to Equivalent
+   Environment Variables from the SDK Setup Script:* Specifically
+   setting matching variables in the ``Makefile`` during the build
+   results in the environment settings of the variables being
+   overwritten. In this case, the variables you set in the ``Makefile``
+   are used.
+
+-  *Case 3 - Variables Are Set Using the Command Line that Map to
+   Equivalent Environment Variables from the SDK Setup Script:*
+   Executing the ``Makefile`` from the command line results in the
+   environment variables being overwritten. In this case, the
+   command-line content is used.
+
+.. note::
+
+   Regardless of how you set your variables, if you use the "-e" option
+   with
+   make
+   , the variables from the SDK setup script take precedence:
+   ::
+
+      $ make -e target
+
+
+The remainder of this section presents a simple Makefile example that
+demonstrates these variable behaviors.
+
+In a new shell environment variables are not established for the SDK
+until you run the setup script. For example, the following commands show
+a null value for the compiler variable (i.e.
+:term:`CC`).
+::
+
+   $ echo ${CC}
+
+   $
+
+Running the
+SDK setup script for a 64-bit build host and an i586-tuned target
+architecture for a ``core-image-sato`` image using the current &DISTRO;
+Yocto Project release and then echoing that variable shows the value
+established through the script:
+::
+
+   $ source /opt/poky/&DISTRO;/environment-setup-i586-poky-linux
+   $ echo ${CC}
+   i586-poky-linux-gcc -m32 -march=i586 --sysroot=/opt/poky/&DISTRO;/sysroots/i586-poky-linux
+
+To illustrate variable use, work through this simple "Hello World!"
+example:
+
+1. *Create a Working Directory and Populate It:* Create a clean
+   directory for your project and then make that directory your working
+   location.
+   ::
+
+      $ mkdir $HOME/helloworld
+      $ cd $HOME/helloworld
+
+   After
+   setting up the directory, populate it with files needed for the flow.
+   You need a ``main.c`` file from which you call your function, a
+   ``module.h`` file to contain headers, and a ``module.c`` that defines
+   your function.
+
+   Create the three files as follows:
+
+   -  ``main.c``:
+      ::
+
+         #include "module.h"
+         void sample_func();
+         int main()
+         {
+             sample_func();
+             return 0;
+         }
+
+   -  ``module.h``:
+      ::
+
+         #include <stdio.h>
+         void sample_func();
+
+   -  ``module.c``:
+      ::
+
+         #include "module.h"
+         void sample_func()
+         {
+             printf("Hello World!");
+             printf("\n");
+         }
+
+2. *Source the Cross-Toolchain Environment Setup File:* As described
+   earlier in the manual, installing the cross-toolchain creates a
+   cross-toolchain environment setup script in the directory that the
+   SDK was installed. Before you can use the tools to develop your
+   project, you must source this setup script. The script begins with
+   the string "environment-setup" and contains the machine architecture,
+   which is followed by the string "poky-linux". For this example, the
+   command sources a script from the default SDK installation directory
+   that uses the 32-bit Intel x86 Architecture and the DISTRO_NAME Yocto
+   Project release:
+   ::
+
+      $ source /opt/poky/DISTRO/environment-setup-i586-poky-linux
+
+3. *Create the Makefile:* For this example, the Makefile contains
+   two lines that can be used to set the ``CC`` variable. One line is
+   identical to the value that is set when you run the SDK environment
+   setup script, and the other line sets ``CC`` to "gcc", the default
+   GNU compiler on the build host:
+   ::
+
+      # CC=i586-poky-linux-gcc -m32 -march=i586 --sysroot=/opt/poky/2.5/sysroots/i586-poky-linux
+      # CC="gcc"
+      all: main.o module.o
+      	${CC} main.o module.o -o target_bin
+      main.o: main.c module.h
+      	${CC} -I . -c main.c
+      module.o: module.c
+      	module.h ${CC} -I . -c module.c
+      clean:
+      	rm -rf *.o
+      	rm target_bin
+
+4. *Make the Project:* Use the ``make`` command to create the binary
+   output file. Because variables are commented out in the Makefile, the
+   value used for ``CC`` is the value set when the SDK environment setup
+   file was run:
+   ::
+
+      $ make
+      i586-poky-linux-gcc -m32 -march=i586 --sysroot=/opt/poky/2.5/sysroots/i586-poky-linux -I . -c main.c
+      i586-poky-linux-gcc -m32 -march=i586 --sysroot=/opt/poky/2.5/sysroots/i586-poky-linux -I . -c module.c
+      i586-poky-linux-gcc -m32 -march=i586 --sysroot=/opt/poky/2.5/sysroots/i586-poky-linux main.o module.o -o target_bin
+
+   From the results of the previous command, you can see that
+   the compiler used was the compiler established through the ``CC``
+   variable defined in the setup script.
+
+   You can override the ``CC`` environment variable with the same
+   variable as set from the Makefile by uncommenting the line in the
+   Makefile and running ``make`` again.
+   ::
+
+      $ make clean
+      rm -rf *.o
+      rm target_bin
+      #
+      # Edit the Makefile by uncommenting the line that sets CC to "gcc"
+      #
+      $ make
+      gcc -I . -c main.c
+      gcc -I . -c module.c
+      gcc main.o module.o -o target_bin
+
+   As shown in the previous example, the
+   cross-toolchain compiler is not used. Rather, the default compiler is
+   used.
+
+   This next case shows how to override a variable by providing the
+   variable as part of the command line. Go into the Makefile and
+   re-insert the comment character so that running ``make`` uses the
+   established SDK compiler. However, when you run ``make``, use a
+   command-line argument to set ``CC`` to "gcc":
+   ::
+
+      $ make clean
+      rm -rf *.o
+      rm target_bin
+      #
+      # Edit the Makefile to comment out the line setting CC to "gcc"
+      #
+      $ make
+      i586-poky-linux-gcc  -m32 -march=i586 --sysroot=/opt/poky/2.5/sysroots/i586-poky-linux -I . -c main.c
+      i586-poky-linux-gcc  -m32 -march=i586 --sysroot=/opt/poky/2.5/sysroots/i586-poky-linux -I . -c module.c
+      i586-poky-linux-gcc  -m32 -march=i586 --sysroot=/opt/poky/2.5/sysroots/i586-poky-linux main.o module.o -o target_bin
+      $ make clean
+      rm -rf *.o
+      rm target_bin
+      $ make CC="gcc"
+      gcc -I . -c main.c
+      gcc -I . -c module.c
+      gcc main.o module.o -o target_bin
+
+   In the previous case, the command-line argument overrides the SDK
+   environment variable.
+
+   In this last case, edit Makefile again to use the "gcc" compiler but
+   then use the "-e" option on the ``make`` command line:
+   ::
+
+      $ make clean
+      rm -rf *.o
+      rm target_bin
+      #
+      # Edit the Makefile to use "gcc"
+      #
+      $ make
+      gcc -I . -c main.c
+      gcc -I . -c module.c
+      gcc main.o module.o -o target_bin
+      $ make clean
+      rm -rf *.o
+      rm target_bin
+      $ make -e
+      i586-poky-linux-gcc  -m32 -march=i586 --sysroot=/opt/poky/2.5/sysroots/i586-poky-linux -I . -c main.c
+      i586-poky-linux-gcc  -m32 -march=i586 --sysroot=/opt/poky/2.5/sysroots/i586-poky-linux -I . -c module.c
+      i586-poky-linux-gcc  -m32 -march=i586 --sysroot=/opt/poky/2.5/sysroots/i586-poky-linux main.o module.o -o target_bin
+
+   In the previous case, the "-e" option forces ``make`` to
+   use the SDK environment variables regardless of the values in the
+   Makefile.
+
+5. *Execute Your Project:* To execute the project (i.e. ``target_bin``),
+   use the following command:
+   ::
+
+      $ ./target_bin
+      Hello World!
+
+   .. note::
+
+      If you used the cross-toolchain compiler to build
+      target_bin
+      and your build host differs in architecture from that of the
+      target machine, you need to run your project on the target device.
+
+   As expected, the project displays the "Hello World!" message.
