The process described here combines the use of the `--prefix' and
`--exec-prefix' options to configure (see section Options to configure) with the creation of strategic
symbolic links in the installation directory. See section How your Developer's Kit was built, for an example of this process.
In the following examples, the variable release refers to a given Cygnus Support release number, such as `progressive-94q4' (many of the examples simply use `94q4'). The variable hosttype refers to the configure name for the given host type, such as `sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3' (see section Specifying names for hosts and targets). These values are on the distribution tape label.
In order for the Developer's Kit to be accessible in a heterogeneous network environment, it must be configured, compiled, and installed on each host type (one installation for the Sun4s on the network, one for the DECstations, etc.), using the configuration paradigm discussed below (for a more general discussion, see section Building and installing the HUT). The symbolic links must also be set up on each host.
