sysroot
Specifies the root directory where
headers and libraries are located.
Syntax
Linux:
--sysroot
=
dir
Windows:
None
Arguments
- dir
- Specifies the local directory that contains copies of target libraries in the corresponding subdirectories.
Default
- Off
- The compiler uses default settings to search for headers and libraries.
Description
This option specifies the root directory where headers
and libraries are located.
For example, if the headers and libraries are normally
located in
/usr/include
and
/usr/lib
respectively,
--sysroot=/mydir
will cause the compiler to search in
/mydir/usr/include
and
/mydir/usr/lib
for the headers and libraries.
This option is provided for compatibility
with gcc.
Even though this option is not supported for a
Windows-to-Windows native compiler, it is supported for a Windows-host to
Linux-target compiler.
