Often, you need to build additional tools that run on the
build host
as opposed to the target.
You should indicate this requirement by using one of the
following methods when you run
devtool add
:
Specify the name of the recipe such that it ends with "-native". Specifying the name like this produces a recipe that only builds for the build host.
Specify the "‐‐also-native" option with the
devtool add
command.
Specifying this option creates a recipe file that still
builds for the target but also creates a variant with
a "-native" suffix that builds for the build host.
