How to setup environment for ADT with 1.1 on Fedora 16

Installing the ADT

There are three method to install the ADT, which includes the cross-toolchain. Regardless of the installation you choose, you must source the cross-toolchain environment setup script before you use the toolchain.

• Use the ADT Installer Script: This method is the recommended way to install the ADT because it automates much of the process for you. For example, you can configure the installation to install the QEMU emulator and the user-space NFS, specify which root filesystem profiles to download, and define the target sysroot location.

• Use an Existing Toolchain Tarball: Using this method, you select and download an architecture-specific toolchain tarball and then hand-install the toolchain. If you use this method, you just get the cross-toolchain and QEMU - you do not get any of the other mentioned benefits had you run the ADT Installer script.

• Use the Toolchain from within a Yocto Project Build Tree: If you already have a Yocto Project build tree, you can build the cross-toolchain within tree. However, like the previous method mentioned, you only get the cross-toolchain and QEMU - you do not get any of the other benefits without taking separate steps.

We use the ADT Installer Script as an example to install ADT below.
