+<para>
+    In order to develop applications, you need set up your host development system.
+    Several ways exist that allow you to install cross-development tools, QEMU, the
+    Eclipse Yocto Plug-in, and other tools.
+    This chapter describes how to prepare for application development.

+    <title>Installing the ADT and Toolchains</title>
+
+    <para>
+        The following list describes installation methods that set up varying
+        degrees of tool availability on your system.
+        Regardless of the installation method you choose,
+        you must <filename>source</filename> the cross-toolchain
+        environment setup script, which establishes several key
+        environment variables, before you use a toolchain.
+        See the
+        "<link linkend='setting-up-the-cross-development-environment'>Setting Up the Cross-Development Environment</link>"
+        section for more information.

+        <para>
+            Avoid mixing installation methods when installing toolchains for
+            different architectures.
+            For example, avoid using the ADT Installer to install some
+            toolchains and then hand-installing cross-development toolchains
+            by running the toolchain installer for different architectures.
+            Mixing installation methods can result in situations where the
+            ADT Installer becomes unreliable and might not install the
+            toolchain.

+                This method is the recommended way to install the ADT because it
+                automates much of the process for you.
+                For example, you can configure the installation to install the QEMU emulator
+                and the user-space NFS, specify which root filesystem profiles to download,
+                and define the target sysroot location.</para></listitem>

+                Using this method, you select and download an architecture-specific
+                toolchain installer and then run the script to hand-install the toolchain.
+                If you use this method, you just get the cross-toolchain and QEMU - you do not

+                you can build the cross-toolchain within the directory.
+                However, like the previous method mentioned, you only get the cross-toolchain and QEMU - you

+
+    <para>
+        Before you can develop using the cross-toolchain, you need to set up the
+        cross-development environment by sourcing the toolchain's environment setup script.
+        If you used the ADT Installer or hand-installed cross-toolchain,
+        then you can find this script in the directory you chose for installation.
+        For this release, the default installation directory is
+        <filename>&YOCTO_ADTPATH_DIR;</filename>.
+        If you installed the toolchain in the
+        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>,
+        you can find the environment setup
+        script for the toolchain in the Build Directory's <filename>tmp</filename> directory.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        Be sure to run the environment setup script that matches the
+        architecture for which you are developing.
+        Environment setup scripts begin with the string
+        "<filename>environment-setup</filename>" and include as part of their
+        name the architecture.
+        For example, the toolchain environment setup script for a 64-bit

+        would be the following:

+
+    <para>
+        Another powerful feature is that the toolchain is completely
+        self-contained.
+        The binaries are linked against their own copy of
+        <filename>libc</filename>, which results in no dependencies
+        on the target system.
+        To achieve this, the pointer to the dynamic loader is
+        configured at install time since that path cannot be dynamically
+        altered.
+        This is the reason for a wrapper around the
+        <filename>populate_sdk</filename> archive.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        Another feature is that only one set of cross-canadian toolchain
+        binaries are produced per architecture.
+        This feature takes advantage of the fact that the target hardware can
+        be passed to <filename>gcc</filename> as a set of compiler options.
+        Those options are set up by the environment script and contained in
+        variables such as
+        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-CC'><filename>CC</filename></ulink>
+        and
+        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-LD'><filename>LD</filename></ulink>.
+        This reduces the space needed for the tools.
+        Understand, however, that a sysroot is still needed for every target
+        since those binaries are target-specific.
