Running the programs

In order to run the tools in the Developer's Kit release after you install them, you must first set a few environment variables so your shell can find them.

• At the very least, you must set your PATH variable. See section Setting PATH.
• If you installed the tools in a location other than the default and choose not to set the standard symbolic links in place (see section Links for easy access and updating), you must also set the environment variable GCC_EXEC_PREFIX. Otherwise, the compiler cannot find its resources. See section GCC paths.
• If you install the Developer's Kit tools in an alternate location, you need to set the variable INFOPATH so that info can find the online documentation. See section Online documentation paths.
• Some man programs recognize the environment variable MANPATH as a search path for online manual pages. You must either add your installation directory to your MANPATH environment variable, or copy the online manual pages in your distribution into a location where your man program can find them. See section Online documentation paths.
