2.4.2: Archive and Build Directory Format

When no packaging format requirements are present, the root directory for the storage of source archives and patches as well as for building the tools is up to the user. The only concern is that there be enough disk space to complete the build. In this document, the following organization will be used.

Make an archive directory to contain the downloaded source code and a tools directory to be used as a build directory. The command sequence to do this is shown below:

mkdir archive
mkdir tools

This will result in an initial directory structure similar to the one shown in the following figure:

/whatever/prefix/you/choose/
        archive/
        tools/
