This can be changed by adjusting the +`devtoolsdir` configuration variable, see "Configuration" in the main +INSTALL file. If the `$(devtoolsdir)` directory does not exist, but +all of the copied files exist in the libretools directory, they will +simply be used. + +In the distribution tarball includes the copies of the devtools files, +so it is not necessary to download the devtools source separately +when using the tarball. + +Once you have the devtools source taken care of, you can build and +install like normal. |
